BGSF, Inc. Announces Cost Restructuring Plan as Part of Strategic Review
BGSF has announced a comprehensive cost restructuring plan as part of its ongoing strategic review process. The plan, implemented in Q4, aims to reduce annual compensation and benefit expenses by approximately $5 million. Additional expense reductions planned for 2025 are expected to yield $2-4 million in savings. The company also anticipates reducing annual cash capital expenditures by $800,000 in 2025 through shifting development support to its recently acquired near-shore operation.
CEO Beth Garvey noted that both operating divisions continue to face uncertainties and macro pressures. The strategic review process, initiated in May 2024, is expected to take 12-18 months to complete.
