Insights

TrueBlue's Q3 2024 results reveal significant challenges, with revenue declining 19% year-over-year to $382 million. The company swung to a net loss of $8 million, compared to breakeven in Q3 2023. While management has implemented cost-cutting measures, reducing SG&A by 17% to $100 million, the adjusted EBITDA halved to $5 million. The company's strong balance sheet, with zero debt and $15 million in cash, provides some stability during this downturn. However, the deteriorating financial metrics, including the shift from adjusted EPS of $0.16 to a loss of $0.11, indicate substantial pressure on the staffing business. The continued market weakness and declining customer volumes suggest ongoing headwinds for the near term.
