Insights

The Q1 FY2025 results for Resources Connection (RGP) show significant challenges, with revenue declining 19.5% year-over-year to $136.9 million. Key concerns include:

  • Net loss of $5.7 million compared to net income of $3.1 million last year
  • Gross margin contraction from 39.4% to 36.5%
  • $3.9 million goodwill impairment charge for Europe and Asia Pacific segment
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin shrinking from 6.8% to 1.7%

While SG&A expenses improved due to cost-cutting measures, the overall financial picture remains challenging. The company's restructuring into new segments (On-Demand, Consulting, Outsourced Services) aims to improve market positioning, but immediate benefits are not yet evident. The $3.4 million gain from selling the Irvine office building provided some relief, but underlying business pressures persist.

RGP's Q1 results reflect broader economic headwinds impacting the professional services sector. Key market trends include:

  • Clients delaying transformation projects, extending sales cycles
  • Increased pricing pressure, evidenced by a 5% decline in average bill rates
  • Shift towards lower-priced regions like Asia Pacific
  • Continued demand softness, with billable hours down 15.3%

The company's strategy to diversify its addressable market through technology transformation and brand refresh is a long-term play. Early signs of improvement in pipeline and deal closures are positive, but not yet reflected in financial performance. The acquisition of Reference Point on July 1, 2024, aligns with this diversification strategy but adds $1.3 million in costs this quarter. Investors should monitor the effectiveness of these initiatives in driving growth amid challenging market conditions.

  • Gross margin of 36.5% compared to 39.4%

Management Commentary

“This quarter, our teams have continued to push hard to gain momentum on topline revenue, while also working diligently to lay the foundation for our diversification strategy to broaden RGP's addressable market,” said Kate W. Duchene, Chief Executive Officer. “The combination of technology transformation, operating model evolution and brand refresh initiatives enables us to further improve speed to market, extend buying centers, and strengthen brand recognition. Our business now serves clients in three ways: On-Demand, Consulting and Outsourced Services. By organizing ourselves with greater focus and clarity, our clients and prospects have an improved understanding of when to call us and for what capabilities. We are seeing early signs of our efforts paying off, including notable pipeline improvement and more sizable deal closes involving our service brands delivering together seamlessly. We believe the refreshed brand positioning we launched today will reinforce our strategy to cross sell as a trusted partner in our exceptional client base, enabling us to deliver on growth and profitability goals for our shareholders over the long term.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Revenue was $136.9 million (or $137.7 million on a constant currency basis), declining 19.5% (or 19.1% on a constant currency basis) compared to $170.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. These declines reflected a persistently choppy demand environment driven by broader economic trends. Clients continue to be in a holding pattern, restrained in their decision to move forward with transformation projects which has resulted in extended timelines for opportunities to close in the pipeline. Compared to the prior year quarter, billable hours decreased by 15.3% and the average bill rate declined by 5.0% (or 4.7% on a constant currency basis). The decline in average bill rate reflects a more competitive pricing environment as well as a shift in revenue mix to the Asia Pacific region which typically carries a lower average bill rate. The United States (U.S.) and Europe average bill rates increased by 2.3% and 4.6% (or 2.3% and 4.5% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year, respectively, as a result of Company initiatives focused on value-based pricing, while average bill rates in the Asia Pacific region declined by 3.2% (although increased by 0.2% on a constant currency basis), also largely attributable to a shift in revenue mix across the countries within this region.

Gross margin was 36.5% compared to 39.4% in the prior year quarter primarily due to less favorable leverage on indirect cost of services as a result of lower revenue, lower salaried consultant utilization, and a 60 basis point increase in the pay/bill ratio.

SG&A for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $48.9 million, or 35.7% of revenue, compared to $59.9 million, or 35.2% of revenue in the prior year quarter. The year over year improvement in SG&A was primarily due to a lower management compensation expense of $5.1 million largely attributable to the cost reduction plan (the "U.S. Restructuring Plan") initiated in October 2023, a $3.4 million gain on sale of the Irvine office building, a $1.3 million decrease in bonuses and commissions as a result of lower revenue and profitability, and a $1.0 million decrease in stock compensation expense primarily associated with performance based equity awards. These improvements in SG&A were partially offset by $1.3 million of costs related to the acquisition of Reference Point LLC (“Reference Point”), which closed on July 1, 2024.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company completed a goodwill impairment analysis as part of its business segment's reorganization. As a result of that analysis, a non-cash impairment charge of $3.9 million was recorded in the Europe and Asia Pacific segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.1 million, or an effective tax rate of (22.7%), compared to $2.1 million, or an effective tax rate of 40.0%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 measured against a pretax loss resulted in the negative effective tax rate. Despite the consolidated pretax loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recorded an income tax expense related to foreign income tax expense on international profits, along with rate impacting non-deductible items including tax adjustments associated with goodwill impairment, changes in valuation allowance and stock-based compensation.

Net loss was $5.7 million (net loss margin of 4.2%), compared to net income of $3.1 million (net income margin of 1.8%) in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower revenue, a decline in gross profit, and the goodwill impairment charge related to Europe and Asia Pacific segment, partially offset by improved SG&A for the current year first quarter due to the Company's continued focus on cost discipline as well as the $3.4 million gain on sale of the Irvine office building. The Company delivered an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 1.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 6.8% in the prior year quarter.

First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Segment Results

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company reorganized its business segments to better align with changes in its internal management framework and reporting of financial information which is used for performance assessment and resource allocation.

On-Demand Talent – Revenue in the On-Demand segment declined by $25.5 million or 32.7%, to $52.5 million compared to $78.0 million in the prior year quarter.

Consulting – Revenue in the Consulting segment decreased by $1.8 million or 3.2%, to $55.0 million compared to $56.8 million in the prior year quarter. The decline was primarily due to a 3.4% reduction in billable hours, with the average bill rate declining by 1.5% (or 1.9% on a constant currency basis).

Europe and Asia Pacific – Revenue in the Europe and Asia Pacific segment declined by $5.3 million or 22.7%, to $18.0 million in the quarter compared to $23.3 million in the prior year quarter.

All Other – Revenue in the All Other segment declined by $0.7 million or 26.3%, to $2.0 million compared to $2.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decline in revenues was primarily due to a 33.5% decrease in billable hours, partially offset by a 14.8% increase in average bill rate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess our financial and operating performance that are not defined by or calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to assess our financial and operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that (i) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Consolidated Statements of Operations; or (ii) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the comparable GAAP measure so calculated and presented. The following non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release:

  • Same-day constant currency revenue is adjusted for the following items:
    • Currency impact. In order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company calculates same-day constant currency revenue, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as those in effect in the comparable prior period.
    • Business days impact. In order to remove the fluctuations caused by comparable periods having a different number of business days, the Company calculates same-day revenue as current period revenue (adjusted for currency impact) divided by the number of business days in the current period, multiplied by the number of business days in the comparable prior period. The number of business days in each respective period is provided in the “Number of Business Days” section of the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below.
  • EBITDA is calculated as net (loss) income before amortization expense, depreciation expense, interest and income taxes.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus stock-based compensation expense, technology transformation costs, acquisition costs, goodwill impairment, gain on sale of assets, and restructuring costs. We also present herein Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level as a measure used to assess the performance of our segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain shared corporate administrative costs that are not practical to allocate.
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated as diluted earnings (loss) per common share, plus or minus the per share impact of stock-based compensation expense, technology transformation costs, acquisition costs, goodwill impairment, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, and adjusted for the related tax effects of these adjustments.

We believe the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures, which are used by management to assess the core performance of our Company, provide useful information and additional clarity of our operating results to our investors in their own evaluation of the core performance of our Company and facilitate a comparison of such performance from period to period. These are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for revenue, net income or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP for purposes of analyzing our revenue, profitability or liquidity. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenue, net income, earnings per share, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently.
