JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 15, 2024 / GEE Group Inc. (NYSE American:JOB) together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company", "GEE Group", "us", "our", or "we"), a provider of professional staffing services and human resource solutions, today announced consolidated results for the fiscal 2024 second quarter and year to date results for the period ended March 31, 2024. All amounts presented herein are consolidated or derived from consolidated amounts, and are rounded and represent approximations, accordingly.
2024 Second Quarter and YTD Highlights
- Consolidated revenues for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024 were
$28.0 million and$58.7 million , down28% and27% , respectively, over the comparable fiscal 2023 periods. The decrease in consolidated revenues was mainly attributable to companies delaying the initiation of projects requiring contingent labor and additional permanent hires due to the continuation of macroeconomic weakness and uncertainties, including persistent inflation, interest rate volatility, layoffs in the information technology sector and the possibility of recession, which continued to negatively impact the Company's results through the six months ended March 31, 2024. - Professional contract services revenues for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024 were
$23.1 million and$48.2 million , down$7.6 million and$14.3 million , respectively, compared with the same fiscal 2023 periods. Industrial contract services revenues for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024 were$2.5 million and$5.0 million , down$0.7 million and$1.9 million , respectively, compared with the same fiscal 2023 periods. These decreases were driven by the macroeconomic factors outlined above which resulted in decreases in job orders from clients, as well as difficulty in filling existing orders due to a shortage of qualified temporary labor. - Direct hire placement revenues for the three and six-months ended March 31, 2024 were
$2.4 million and$5.5 million , as compared with$4.9 million and$10.6 million , for the three and six-months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. Direct hire placement opportunities are highly cyclical, tending to rise during the midpoint and latter stages of an economic recovery and lead the decline in hiring during the initial phase of an economic slowdown and possible recession. Demand for the Company's direct hire services was higher in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, following record highs in fiscal 2022, which were driven by post-COVID employment recovery trends at that time, and is down for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2024 due to challenging economic conditions. Similar contract and direct hire services performance challenges as those experienced by the Company are also being experienced in the broader U.S. staffing industry. - Gross profits and gross margins were
$8.7 million , and31.3% , and$18.5 million , and31.5% , for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024, respectively, compared to$13.2 million , and34.0% , and$27.6 million , and34.5% , respectively, for the comparable fiscal 2023 periods. The decreases in gross profit and gross margin are mainly attributable to the lower revenue including the relative mix of direct hire revenue to total revenue, which has100% gross margin. Increases in contractor pay and other employment costs associated with inflation have resulted in some spread compression within the Professional Services Segment during the six-month period ended March 31, 2024. The Company has stepped-up counter-inflationary measures, including increases in mark-ups, bill rates and spreads in order to ameliorate recent margin compression. As a result, our Professional Contract services gross margin improved by about 30 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2024, when compared with the three months ended March 31, 2023. GEE Group's current gross margin percentages remain relatively high and very competitive, as compared to its peer group. - Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024 were
$10.0 million and$20.6 million , down15% and16% , respectively, compared with the same fiscal 2023 periods. SG&A for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024, as a percentage of revenues, was35.7% and35.1% , respectively, as compared to30.1% and30.6% for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2023. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues during the first half of fiscal 2024 was primarily attributable to the declines in revenues in relation to the level of fixed SG&A expenses, including fixed personnel-related expenses, occupancy costs, job boards and applicant tracking systems. Certain non-cash costs and other expenses incurred also were higher in the quarter over quarter comparison. These were mainly comprised of expenses associated with legal proceedings, former closed and consolidated locations, review of strategic alternatives advisory fees, and personnel costs associated with eliminated positions that are not expected to reoccur. These costs were$1.0 million and$0.1 million for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We also have selectively and prudently made investments by hiring new revenue producing personnel and instituted sales and pricing initiatives in order to grow our client base and obtain additional orders from existing clients in key markets and improve profitability. - Net income (loss) for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024, was
$(1.0) million , or$(0.01) per diluted share, and$(2.6) million , or$(0.02) per diluted share, as compared with net income of$0.7 million , or$0.01 per diluted share, and$1.3 million , or$0.01 per diluted share for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2023. These decreases are consistent with the decreases we have experienced in customer job orders and revenues, especially in direct hire placements, as discussed above. - Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024, was
$(0.6) million and$(0.8) million , respectively, as compared with$1.7 million and$3.7 million , respectively, from comparable fiscal 2023 periods. As discussed above, higher direct hire revenues and gross profit in fiscal 2023, and recent negative market conditions for staffing, including fewer job orders, wage inflation and other costs were the primary drivers of the decline in earnings during the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024, compared with comparable prior periods. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA are attached hereto. - Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) year to date for fiscal 2024 was
$0.4 million , as compared with$1.3 million for the first half of fiscal 2023. Reconciliations of cash flow from operating activities to non-GAAP free cash flow are attached hereto. - As of March 31, 2024, cash balance of
$21.2 million , borrowing availability under GEE Group's bank ABL credit facility was$8.2 million which remains undrawn and net working capital of$27.4 million . As of March 31, 2024, current ratio of 3.9, shareholders' equity of$105.5 million , and zero long term debt. - Net book value per share and net tangible book value per share were
$0.92 and$0.32 , respectively, as of March 31, 2024.
Management Comments
Derek E. Dewan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GEE Group, commented, "We are in the midst of a very difficult macroeconomic environment that has severely impacted client demand for the use of contingent labor and permanent hires. These conditions have negatively impacted the number of job orders received and the number of qualified candidates available to fill orders for placements across all of our lines of business. Likewise, the U.S. Staffing Industry, as a whole, has experienced declines in overall volume and financial performance and the outlook is mixed as to when these conditions may be expected to definitively subside. However, we are seeing some positive leading indicators in the current quarter and are hopeful for continuing improvement of the demand environment. Revenues and orders for the month of April were up as was our metric for revenue per billing day. Although revenues and orders have been significantly down so far in 2024, we have nonetheless continued to maintain very good client retention, which was at
Mr. Dewan added, "Less than a month ago, we announced the completion of a review of strategic alternatives with the assistance of the investment banking firm, DC Advisory. We are following through with and implementing DC Advisory's recommendations, which include making prudent investments in both organic and M&A growth. With the Company's excess cash and available financing, we have been adding and training new professional producers and revving up GEE Group's sales initiatives; and working on moving forward with our M&A target list and socializing with several targets at this stage.
We paused the Company's share repurchases on December 31, 2023, having purchased 6.1 million shares of common stock, or just over
Additional Information to Consider in Conjunction with the Press Release
The aforementioned 2024 fiscal second quarter and YTD highlights and results should be read in conjunction with all of the financial and other information included in GEE Group's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as any applicable recent Current Reports on Forms 8-K and 8-K/A, Registration Statements and Amendments on Forms S-1 and S-3, and Information Statements on Schedules 14A and 14C, filed with the SEC. The discussion of financial results in this press release, and the information included herein include the use of non-GAAP financial measures and related schedules attached hereto which reconcile the related items prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or "U.S GAAP") to the non-GAAP financial information also are presented herein. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for the comparable measures prescribed by GAAP as further discussed below in this press release. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures used in this press release with the Company's corresponding financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP below.
Financial information provided in this press release also may consist of or refer to estimates, projected or pro forma financial information and certain assumptions that are considered forward looking statements, which are predictive in nature and depend on future events, and any such predicted or projected financial or other results may not be realized nor are they guarantees of future performance. See "Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor" below which incorporates "Risk Factors" related to the COVID-19 pandemic and other potential items which may possibly have a negative effect on the Company's business.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including adjusted net income (loss), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. Management and the Board of Directors use and refer to these non-GAAP financial measures internally as a supplement to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are used for purposes of evaluating operating performance, financial planning purposes, establishing operational and budgetary goals, compensation plans, analysis of debt service capacity, capital expenditure planning and determining working capital needs. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are considered useful by investors.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash stock compensation expenses, acquisition, integration, restructuring and other non-recurring expenses, capital markets-related expenses, and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt or sale of assets. Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, adjusted for the same items used to derive non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss). Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow are not terms proscribed or defined by GAAP and, as a result, the Company's measure of them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed above should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, nor as being superior to net income (loss) reported in the consolidated statements of income, cash and cash flows reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows, or other measures of financial performance reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP included in Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for their respective periods filed with the SEC, which should be read and referred to in order to obtain a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the Company's financial results. The reconciliations of net income (loss) to non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss), net income (loss) to non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and cash flows from operating activities to non-GAAP free cash flows referred to in the highlights or elsewhere in this press release are provided in the following schedules that also form a part of this press release.
