Current report

•We recorded a non-cash loss on assets held-for-sale of $3.0 million related to our Tacoma headquarters.

Current report

PeopleSolutions revenue declined 4.7% to $46.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2026, and declined 1.6% to $93.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Revenue declined as broader market conditions continue to impact hiring trends.

Current report

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined 320 basis points to 20.3% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. Higher workers’ compensation costs, driven by less favorable workers’ compensation reserve adjustments, resulted in 170 basis points of contraction. Changes in revenue mix resulted in 100 basis points of contraction, primarily driven by revenue shifts toward our lower margin staffing businesses. Additionally, the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 included a benefit for recognition of certain COVID-19 government subsidies, resulting in 50 basis points of contraction for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026.

Current report

Depreciation and amortization decreased for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated during 2025.

Current report

Our Tacoma headquarters office building and related assets (the “disposal group”), with an initial carrying value of $11.8 million, have been classified as held-for-sale since all criteria were met, and continue to be as of June 28, 2026. While we remain under contract with the prospective buyer, the delay is due to circumstances beyond our control, and we continue to actively market and pursue alternative options for completion of a sale within a reasonable timeframe.

Current report

During the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2026, we updated our estimate of fair value less costs to sell to $8.7 million based on recent comparable market transactions, resulting in a non-cash loss on assets held-for-sale of $3.0 million during the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, which is included in loss on assets held-for-sale on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Current report

We performed our annual impairment test for goodwill as of the first day of the fiscal second quarter of 2026 for all reporting units with remaining goodwill, including HSP. Based on our assessment of qualitative factors, we concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and the goodwill associated with each reporting unit was not impaired. As such, it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment analysis.

Current report

The quantitative impairment test, if necessary, utilizes the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of each of our trademarks. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value. Management uses considerable judgment to determine key assumptions, including forecasted future revenue, royalty rates and appropriate discount rates. We performed our annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter of 2026. Based on our quantitative assessment, we concluded that the fair value of each trademark was in excess of its carrying amount as of June 28, 2026, and therefore did not result in an impairment.

Previous report

•We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $3.7 million related to our HSP reporting unit.

Previous report

PeopleSolutions revenue grew 1.8% to $46.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. The acquisition of Healthcare Staffing Professionals, Inc. in early 2025 contributed 8.8% of the growth. Revenue for our PeopleScout business declined as labor market conditions have led to uncertainty around our clients’ future workforce needs, and clients continue to experience less employee turnover while also facing cost pressures. This has resulted in clients reducing hiring volumes, sourcing candidates with internal resources, and initiating hiring freezes to control costs. Despite these challenges, we have expanded existing and new client relationships into higher skilled roles and in attractive end markets, positioning this business for future growth.

Previous report

Depreciation and amortization increased for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to higher amortization expense related to the acquisition of Healthcare Staffing Professionals, Inc. on January 31, 2025, which resulted in an additional month of amortization expense in the current period.

Previous wording

We performed an interim impairment test as of the last day of our fiscal first quarter of 2026. As a result of this impairment test, we concluded that the carrying amount of the HSP reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. Thus, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.7 million, which was included in goodwill impairment charge on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026. The goodwill impairment was primarily driven by downward revisions to future projections associated with our HSP reporting unit, an increase in discount rate, and a decline in the market capitalization of similar publicly traded companies. The remaining goodwill balance for HSP as of March 29, 2026 was $13.7 million. See Note 6: Goodwill to our consolidated financial statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details.

Previous wording

For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, our income tax expense is related primarily to our foreign operations. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets, initially established in the fiscal second quarter of 2024, resulting in no income tax benefit for these jurisdictions. Our conclusions to maintain a valuation allowance were driven by U.S. and foreign pre-tax losses beginning in 2023 and continuing into 2026, combined with the significant non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $59.1 million recorded during fiscal 2024.

Previous wording

PeopleReady segment loss grew $0.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, but improved as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily due to higher workers’ compensation costs driven by less favorable workers’ compensation reserve adjustments, as well as the continued growth within our skilled businesses, specifically the energy industry, which carries lower margins due to pass-through travel costs. These were partially offset by operational cost management actions, which have resulted in a more efficient cost structure.

Current wording

PeopleReady segment profit grew $7.0 million and $6.7 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, and also improved as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively. Growth was primarily due to continued revenue growth within our skilled businesses, specifically the energy industry. Cost management actions have also resulted in a more efficient cost structure and improved our operating leverage as revenue increased. The improvement was partially offset by higher workers’ compensation costs driven by less favorable workers’ compensation reserve adjustments.

Previous wording

PeopleManagement segment profit grew $0.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, and also improved as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same period in the prior year. Growth was primarily driven by a reduction in SG&A expense, which was the result of disciplined cost management actions to streamline our organizational structure and improve efficiency.

Current wording

PeopleManagement segment profit grew $0.9 million and $1.2 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, and also improved as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively.

Previous wording

PeopleSolutions segment profit grew $0.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, and also grew as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same period in the prior year.

We believe we have a strong financial position and sufficient sources of funding to meet our short- and long-term obligations. Our Amended Revolving Credit Facility provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $175.0 million, with an option to increase the amount by $150.0 million, subject to lender approval. As of March 29, 2026, we had $24.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $73.9 million debt outstanding. Under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, $11.4 million was utilized by outstanding standby letters of credit. As of March 29, 2026, our borrowing base was $121.3 million, leaving $36.0 million unused on our borrowing base.

Previous wording

Total collateral commitments decreased $5.8 million during the thirteen-week period ended March 29, 2026, primarily due to the use of collateral to satisfy workers’ compensation claims, as well as a decrease in collateral levels required by our insurance carriers, consistent with the $8.6 million decrease in workers’ compensation claims reserve. See Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details on our workers’ compensation commitments. We continue to actively manage workers’ compensation cost by focusing on improving our associate safety programs and actively control costs with our network of service providers. These actions have had a positive impact creating favorable adjustments to workers’ compensation liabilities recorded in prior periods. Continued favorable adjustments to our prior year workers’ compensation liabilities are dependent on our ability to continue to aggressively lower accident rates and costs of our claims. Due to our progress in worker safety improvements and the resulting reduction in the frequency and severity of accident rates, we expect diminishing favorable adjustments to our workers' compensation liabilities going forward.

Current wording

Total collateral commitments decreased $20.4 million during the twenty-six-week period ended June 28, 2026, primarily due to the use of collateral to satisfy workers’ compensation claims, as well as a decrease in collateral levels required by our insurance carriers, consistent with the $10.8 million decrease in workers’ compensation claims reserve.

Previous wording

Net cash used by accounts receivable during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in days sales outstanding of approximately four days compared to the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting a higher percentage of receivables with longer payment terms, partially offset by a decrease in revenue. In addition, our workers’ compensation claims reserve for estimated claims decreases as claims are paid, as was the case in the current period.

Current wording

Net cash used by accounts receivable during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in revenue coupled with an increase in days sales outstanding of approximately two days compared to the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025, both reflecting shifts in revenue and corresponding receivables mix toward clients with longer payment terms. In addition, our workers’ compensation claims reserve for estimated claims decreased over the period, driven by prior-year claim payments.

Previous wording

Previous wording

Net cash provided by financing activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 was due to draws on our Amended Revolving Credit Facility, primarily to finance working capital needs as revenue increased. While we did not execute share repurchases during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, $33.5 million remains available for repurchase under existing authorizations as of March 29, 2026.

Previous wording

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter, or whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in general economic conditions, deterioration in industry environment, changes in cost factors, declining operating performance indicators, legal factors, competition, client engagement, changes in the carrying amount of net assets, a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit, or a sustained decrease in stock price. We monitor the existence of potential impairment indicators throughout the fiscal year.

Current wording

We evaluate goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter, or whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in general economic conditions, deterioration in industry environment, changes in cost factors, declining operating performance indicators, legal factors, competition, client engagement, changes in the carrying amount of net assets, a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit, or a sustained decrease in stock price. We monitor the existence of potential impairment indicators throughout the fiscal year.

Previous wording

During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, management determined that a triggering event had occurred at our HSP reporting unit as a result of a lower Company stock price and market capitalization. An additional impairment indicator was downward revisions to future projections associated with our HSP reporting unit, as a result of reductions in government funding that impacted certain HSP clients. Therefore, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test for this reporting unit as of the last day of our fiscal first quarter. The weighted average cost of capital used in our most recent impairment test was risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the HSP reporting unit and was 16.5%.

Current wording

During the fiscal first quarter of 2026, the sustained decrease in share price and resulting decrease in market capitalization, as well as downward revisions to future revenue and profitability projections related to the HSP reporting unit due to reductions in government funding that has impacted certain HSP clients, resulted in management determining that a triggering event occurred for the HSP reporting unit. Therefore, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test for this reporting unit as of the last day of our fiscal first quarter of 2026. The weighted average cost of capital used in our most recent impairment test was 16.5%, which was risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the HSP reporting unit.

Previous wording

Based on our interim impairment test as of the last day of our fiscal first quarter of 2026, we concluded that the carrying amount of the HSP reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. Thus, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.7 million, which was included in goodwill impairment charge on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026. The goodwill impairment was primarily driven by downward revisions to future projections associated with our HSP reporting unit, a decline in discount rate, and a decline in market capitalization of similar publicly traded companies. The remaining goodwill balance for HSP as of March 29, 2026 was $13.7 million. Any significant adverse change in our near- or long-term projections or macroeconomic conditions could result in future impairment charges. We will continue to closely monitor the operational performance of this reporting unit.

Current wording

Based on our interim impairment test as of the last day of our fiscal first quarter of 2026, we concluded that the carrying amount of the HSP reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. Thus, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.7 million, which was included in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026. The goodwill impairment was primarily driven by downward revisions to future projections associated with our HSP reporting unit, an increase in the weighted average cost of capital selected, and a decline in market capitalization of similar publicly traded companies. The remaining goodwill balance for HSP as of June 28, 2026 was $13.7 million. Any significant adverse change in our near- or long-term projections or macroeconomic conditions could result in future impairment charges. We will continue to closely monitor the operational performance of this reporting unit.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

We have indefinite-lived intangible assets for trademarks related to businesses within our PeopleManagement and PeopleSolutions segments. We evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter, or whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. These events or circumstances could include significant changes in general economic conditions, deterioration in industry environment, changes in cost factors, declining operating performance indicators, legal factors, competition, client engagement, or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business. We monitor the existence of potential impairment indicators throughout the fiscal year.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

When evaluating indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. Qualitative factors include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions and overall Company financial performance. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we determine that it is more likely than not the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is unnecessary.
