Hudson Global (HSON) reported its Q2 2024 financial results, showing a 20.5% decrease in revenue to $35.7 million compared to Q2 2023. The company experienced a net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, contrasting with a net income of $0.6 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $0.7 million from $2.6 million in Q2 2023.

The company attributed the slowdown to reduced hiring activity across its client base. However, Hudson Global highlighted new business wins expected to ramp up in coming months. The company also expanded its reach through the acquisition of Striver, a UAE-based talent acquisition firm. Despite challenges, Hudson Global maintains a strong cash position of $15.3 million and continues its share repurchase program, having bought back $2.1 million of stock year-to-date under a new $5 million authorization.

Hudson Global (HSON) ha riportato i risultati finanziari del secondo trimestre del 2024, mostrando un calo del 20,5% dei ricavi a 35,7 milioni di dollari rispetto al secondo trimestre del 2023. L'azienda ha subito una perdita netta di 0,4 milioni di dollari, ovvero 0,15 dollari per azione diluita, in contrapposizione a un utile netto di 0,6 milioni di dollari nello stesso periodo dell'anno scorso. L'EBITDA rettificato è diminuito a 0,7 milioni di dollari rispetto ai 2,6 milioni di dollari del secondo trimestre del 2023.

L'azienda ha attribuito il rallentamento a una riduzione dell'attività di assunzione tra i suoi clienti. Tuttavia, Hudson Global ha messo in evidenza nuove opportunità di business che si prevede aumenteranno nei prossimi mesi. L'azienda ha anche ampliato la sua portata attraverso l'acquisizione di Striver, una società di acquisizione di talenti con sede negli Emirati Arabi Uniti. Nonostante le sfide, Hudson Global mantiene una solida posizione di liquidità di 15,3 milioni di dollari e continua il suo programma di riacquisto di azioni, avendo ricomprato azioni per 2,1 milioni di dollari dall'inizio dell'anno sotto una nuova autorizzazione di 5 milioni di dollari.

Hudson Global (HSON) reportó sus resultados financieros del segundo trimestre de 2024, mostrando una disminución del 20,5% en los ingresos hasta 35,7 millones de dólares en comparación con el segundo trimestre de 2023. La empresa experimentó una pérdida neta de 0,4 millones de dólares, o 0,15 dólares por acción diluida, en contraste con una ganancia neta de 0,6 millones de dólares en el mismo periodo del año pasado. El EBITDA ajustado disminuyó a 0,7 millones de dólares desde 2,6 millones de dólares en el segundo trimestre de 2023.

La compañía atribuyó la desaceleración a la reducción de la actividad de contratación en su base de clientes. Sin embargo, Hudson Global destacó nuevas oportunidades de negocio que se espera que se incrementen en los próximos meses. La empresa también amplió su alcance mediante la adquisición de Striver, una firma de adquisición de talento con sede en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. A pesar de los desafíos, Hudson Global mantiene una sólida posición de efectivo de 15,3 millones de dólares y continúa con su programa de recompra de acciones, habiendo recomprado acciones por un total de 2,1 millones de dólares desde el inicio del año bajo una nueva autorización de 5 millones de dólares.

허드슨 글로벌 (HSON)은 2024년 2분기 재무 결과를 보고하며, 매출이 20.5% 감소하여 3570만 달러에 이르렀다고 발표했습니다. 이는 2023년 2분기와 비교한 수치입니다. 회사는 40만 달러의 순손실을 경험했으며, 이는 희석 주당 0.15달러에 해당합니다. 이는 지난해 같은 기간의 60만 달러 순이익과 대조적입니다. 조정된 EBITDA는 2023년 2분기 260만 달러에서 70만 달러로 감소했습니다.

회사는 고객 기반의 채용 활동 감소에 리세스를 돌렸습니다. 그러나 허드슨 글로벌은 향후 몇 달 간 증가할 것으로 예상되는 새로운 비즈니스 성과를 강조했습니다. 또한, 아랍에미리트에 본사를 두고 있는 인재 채용 회사인 Striver 인수를 통해 사업 범위를 확대했습니다. 어려움에도 불구하고 허드슨 글로벌은 1530만 달러의 강력한 현금 보유액을 유지하며, 500만 달러의 새로운 승인 아래 지금까지 210만 달러의 주식을 재매입하며 주식 재매입 프로그램을 계속하고 있습니다.

Hudson Global (HSON) a publié ses résultats financiers pour le deuxième trimestre 2024, révélant une baisse de 20,5 % de revenu à 35,7 millions de dollars par rapport au deuxième trimestre 2023. L’entreprise a subi une perte nette de 0,4 million de dollars, soit 0,15 dollar par action diluée, contrastant avec un bénéfice net de 0,6 million de dollars au cours de la même période de l'année précédente. Le BAIIA ajusté a chuté à 0,7 million de dollars contre 2,6 millions de dollars au deuxième trimestre 2023.

L’entreprise a attribué ce ralentissement à la réduction de l’activité d’embauche de sa clientèle. Cependant, Hudson Global a souligné de nouvelles opportunités commerciales qui devraient augmenter dans les mois à venir. L’entreprise a également élargi sa portée grâce à l'acquisition de Striver, une société de recrutement basée aux Émirats Arabes Unis. Malgré ces défis, Hudson Global maintient une solide position de liquidités de 15,3 millions de dollars et continue son programme de rachat d'actions, ayant racheté 2,1 millions de dollars d'actions depuis le début de l'année dans le cadre d'une nouvelle autorisation de 5 millions de dollars.

Hudson Global (HSON) hat seine finanziellen Ergebnisse für das zweite Quartal 2024 veröffentlicht und eine Reduzierung der Einnahmen um 20,5% auf 35,7 Millionen Dollar im Vergleich zum zweiten Quartal 2023 festgestellt. Das Unternehmen verzeichnete einen Nettoverlust von 0,4 Millionen Dollar, was 0,15 Dollar pro verwässerter Aktie entspricht und damit im Gegensatz zu einem Nettogewinn von 0,6 Millionen Dollar im gleichen Zeitraum des Vorjahres steht. Das bereinigte EBITDA sank von 2,6 Millionen Dollar im zweiten Quartal 2023 auf 0,7 Millionen Dollar.

Das Unternehmen führte das verlangsamte Wachstum auf eine reduzierte Einstellungsaktivität bei seinen Kunden zurück. Dennoch hob Hudson Global neue Geschäftsgewinne hervor, von denen erwartet wird, dass sie in den kommenden Monaten zunehmen werden. Zudem erweiterte das Unternehmen seinen Einfluss durch die Übernahme von Striver, einer in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten ansässigen Personalvermittlungsfirma. Trotz der Herausforderungen hält Hudson Global eine starke Liquiditätsposition von 15,3 Millionen Dollar und setzt sein Aktienrückkaufprogramm fort, wobei seit Jahresbeginn Aktien im Wert von 2,1 Millionen Dollar im Rahmen einer neuen Genehmigung von 5 Millionen Dollar zurückgekauft wurden.

Insights

Hudson Global's Q2 2024 results reveal significant challenges. Revenue dropped 20.5% year-over-year to $35.7 million, while adjusted net revenue fell 22% to $17.6 million. The company swung to a net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to a profit in Q2 2023. Adjusted EBITDA declined sharply to $0.7 million from $2.6 million last year.

The market-driven slowdown in hiring activity is evident across all regions, with Americas, Asia Pacific and EMEA all experiencing double-digit declines in revenue. However, the company's cost-saving initiatives are starting to show results and new business wins are expected to ramp up. The acquisitions of Striver and Executive Solutions could provide future growth opportunities.

Despite challenges, Hudson Global maintains a solid cash position of $15.3 million. The ongoing share repurchase program, with $2.5 million remaining, demonstrates management's confidence in the company's value. The substantial $302 million NOL carryforward remains a valuable asset for potential future tax benefits.

Hudson Global's Q2 results reflect broader market trends in the talent solutions industry. The global slowdown in hiring activity has significantly impacted the company's performance across all regions. This aligns with reports from other major players in the sector, indicating a widespread cooling of the job market.

However, Hudson's strategic moves, including the acquisitions of Striver and Executive Solutions, demonstrate a proactive approach to expanding service offerings and geographic reach. This could position the company well for a potential market rebound. The focus on winning new business and implementing cost-saving measures shows adaptability in a challenging environment.

The company's share repurchase program and substantial NOL carryforward provide some financial flexibility and potential for future value creation. Investors should monitor for signs of market recovery and the success of Hudson's new business initiatives in the coming quarters to gauge the company's ability to return to growth.

HUDSON GLOBAL, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF CONSTANT CURRENCY MEASURES
(in thousands) (unaudited)
 

The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of its revenue generated outside of the United States. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect its results of operations. Constant currency information compares financial results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company defines the term “constant currency” to mean that financial data for a previously reported period are translated into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate financial data for the current period. Changes in revenue, adjusted net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), other non-operating income (expense), operating income (loss) and EBITDA (loss) include the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s management reviews and analyzes business results in constant currency and believes these results better represent the Company’s underlying business trends. The Company believes that these calculations are a useful measure, indicating the actual change in operations. There are no significant gains or losses on foreign currency transactions between subsidiaries. Therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates generally impact only reported earnings.
