August 15, 2017 4:30 PM EDT

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 08/15/17 -- Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: STAF), a public company executing an international buy-and-build strategy through the acquisition of staffing organizations in the United States and in the United Kingdom, released its financial results today for its fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2017.

"We are pleased to report our latest set of results," stated Brendan Flood, Executive Chairman of Staffing 360 Solutions. "Despite a decline in revenue in the quarter, Q2 2017 saw our first positive Income from Operations (of $0.8 million against a loss in the previous year of $1.3m) and continued the improvements to our operations, to our Balance Sheet, and to our Cash Flows from Operating Activities."

Summary of the Fiscal Second Quarter Ended July 1, 2017

  • Revenue of $42.1 million, a 9.1% decrease from $46.3 million in Q2 2016. On a constant currency basis, the decrease was 6.6%;
  • Gross profit of $7.9 million, was flat year on year;
  • Income from Operations was $0.8 million compared to a Loss of $1.3m in 2016;
  • Net loss* attributable to common stock reduced to $0.6 million compared to $2.6 million in Q2 2016. The current year includes non-cash accounting charges of $1.5 million and the prior year includes a non-cash accounting gain of $0.5 million;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million, was flat year on year. Impact of currency was not significant;
  • Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA of $5.33 million, an 18.7% increase over $4.49 million for the comparable trailing period.

* A table has been included in this press release reconciling Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.

Mr. Flood continued, "Q2 continued our emphasis on improving the fundamentals of the company. We exited $1.1m of low margin business and continue to improve our underlying gross margin, improving from 17.3% in Q2 2016 to 18.8% in Q2 2017. As mentioned last quarter we have several new contracts that will ramp up from mid-Summer that we anticipate will have an important impact on the second half of the year. By continuing to generate improvements in margins, we expect to see even more improvements in Adjusted EBITDA as sales begin to accelerate throughout the second half of 2017."

The Company encourages investors to review its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2017 for additional information regarding the Company's results of operations, liquidity, reviewed financial statements and other pertinent information.

"During Q2 2017 we continued to improve the quality of our Balance Sheet. In addition to our improvements in efficiencies and Adjusted EBITDA, this has been a significant quarter from a capital raising perspective," stated David Faiman, Chief Financial Officer. "As we continue to realize economies of scale, we have raised over $9 million since January 1, 2017 to position ourselves for further growth. We have also improved debt ratios with the improvements of our Adjusted EBITDA. We are currently reporting $5.3 million of trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA compared to $13.6 million of net debt, resulting in a 2.6x leverage ratio, compared to 3.1x for the comparative period."

"Staffing 360 Solutions has continued to drive major developments this quarter and we look forward to discussing them in more detail on our earnings conference call," said Matt Briand, President and Chief Executive Officer. "With the improving efficiency of our cost base, we believe we are in a stronger position for future growth. We encourage investors to dial into our conference call and to download our Earnings Call Presentation from our website, which should provide additional understanding and assistance for investors to follow during the course of our call; we anticipate that this will continue to be a supplemental component of our calls going forward."
