Current report

Facing a tough market in fiscal 2025, we made deliberate choices to adapt. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we reorganized our business into distinct business units to establish more targeted strategies, enhance execution focus and create more brand clarity in the market place and have since operated under the following business units: (i) On-Demand Talent, (ii) Consulting, (iii) Europe & Asia Pacific, (iv) Outsourced Services, and (v) Sitrick (disclosed as "All Other"). We evolved and streamlined our consulting practices, honing in on two areas where the need and opportunities are robust: CFO Advisory, serving CFOs’ needs across people, process and technology, and Digital, Data and Cloud where we expanded our capabilities in cloud platform implementation, data strategy and analytics, AI adoption and readiness, and enterprise digital transformation, through strategic acquisitions. Furthermore, we made meaningful progress in fiscal 2025 on improving bill rates and reducing costs. Finally, we completed our technology modernization effort in our largest region, North America, which positions us for more operational efficiency as we head into fiscal 2026.

Current report

Expand cross-sell opportunities through our diversified services platform– We offer a unique blend of services in On-Demand Talent, Consulting, and Outsourced Services, enabling high flexibility and high impact solutions for enterprises worldwide. This unique model is designed to meet clients’ evolving needs in a disrupted business environment. Our consulting capability provides us with deeper visibility into our clients’ transformation agendas to drive greater opportunities for our On-Demand execution capabilities, while our agile talent base within our On-Demand business provides greater financial flexibility and better skill set alignment for our Consulting business. In our Outsourced Services business, we are expanding Countsy’s total addressable market beyond the start-up ecosystem to serve the finance, accounting and human resources needs surrounding spin-outs and carve-outs. In fiscal 2026, we will be focused on broadening client relationships by cross-selling across our diversified service offerings and introducing complementary solutions as client needs evolve. We believe this will enable us to deepen our partnerships with CFOs and business leaders, strengthen client retention, and increase wallet share while positioning the Company as a long-term, trusted partner for transformation and performance improvement.

Current report

Optimize our high-growth solutions and evolve our talent strategy– In the volatile and rapidly shifting global economic environment, CFOs need partners who combine financial expertise with flexibility. We will maintain our commitment to building strong relationships with CFOs, who have historically been the primary buyers of our services, to support their organizations’ transformation journeys with specialized expertise, high-value consulting, and integrated outsourced delivery. The core solutions we will continue to build, deepen and optimize are: enterprise resource planning ("ERP") and cloud finance systems modernization, financial planning and analysis enhancement, accounting close process optimization, SEC compliance, post acquisitions integration, enterprise risk management, data strategy and analytics, AI adoption and enterprise digital transformation. Concurrent to evolving our solutions to meet market demand, we will also be keenly focused on evolving our talent strategy to modernize and refresh the skillset in our consultant base, both bench and agile, to serve our clients across On-Demand or Consulting engagements.

Current report

Further leverage value-based pricing – Building on the progress we made in fiscal 2025, we will further advance our value-based pricing strategy to improve bill rates and pricing leverage, particularly in the Consulting business, as we pursue larger-scale, higher-value engagements that deliver measurable impact for clients.

Current report

Drive improvement in cost structure – In the face of persistent macro-economic uncertainty and headwinds on client demand, we have prioritized reducing our cost structure and maintaining ongoing cost discipline to deliver improved profitability. We expect to leverage our newly implemented technology to achieve further operating efficiencies. In addition, we will continue to assess and optimize resource allocation across the business to improve profitability.

(5)The effect of the goodwill impairment charge recognized during the three months ended August 24, 2024 was related to the Europe & Asia Pacific segment.

Current report

Revenue. Revenue decreased $16.7 million, or 12.2%, to $120.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $136.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue decreased by $19.0 million, or 13.9%. Billable hours decreased 14.3% year-over-year, primarily due to the choppy demand environment, as clients delay transformation projects amid continued global economic uncertainty and a softening labor market. Partially offsetting this decrease, average bill rates increased 2.2% year over year, reflecting the progress in our ongoing value based pricing initiative and a gradual shift to higher-value projects.

Current report

The number of agile consultants on assignment during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 2,231 compared to 2,730 during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The average number of salaried consultants during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 418 compared to 482 during the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Current report

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $47.9 million, or 39.9% of revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $48.9 million, or 35.7% of revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The $1.0 million decrease in SG&A year-over-year was primarily driven by a $2.4 million decrease in employee compensation and benefits costs following our restructuring activities in fiscal 2025, a $1.9 million decrease in technology transformation costs primarily associated with our technology implementation during fiscal 2025, a $1.1 million decrease related to business support costs including travel and entertainment, a $0.8 million decrease in acquisition related costs, and a $0.4 million decrease in occupancy expenses. These decreases were partially offset by a $3.4 million gain on the sale of the Irvine office building recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 with no comparable activity occurring during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, a $0.9 million increase in professional services fees, a $0.7 million increase in stock-based compensation, and a $0.7 million increase in amortization of costs related to capitalized technology transformation costs. The remaining decrease was related to various general and overhead costs.

Current report

Goodwill Impairment. No goodwill impairment was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company completed a goodwill impairment analysis as part of its business segment reorganization. As a result of the analysis, a non-cash impairment charge of $3.9 million was recorded in the Europe & Asia Pacific segment during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. See Note 5 –Goodwill and Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Current report

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $0.5 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 24.7%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to an income tax expense of $1.1 million, or an effective tax rate of 22.7%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The income tax expense, driven primarily by an increase in the domestic and foreign valuation allowance in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and the non-deductible tax adjustment on goodwill impairment in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, measured against consolidated pretax losses resulted in the negative effective tax rate in both quarters.

Current report

Due to the sensitivity of the estimated annual effective tax rate to minor changes in estimated annual pretax results, the Company determined that the discrete method, whereby the year-to-date actual effective tax rate is applied, is the appropriate approach in its current computation of the interim tax provision, as the use of the estimated annual effective tax rate would provide a distortive result.

Current report

There can be no assurance that our effective tax rate will remain constant in the future because of factors such as changes in valuation allowance positions of our deferred tax assets and liabilities or changes in tax law or tax rates in jurisdictions that we operate in. Based upon future economic outlook and operating results of certain jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the current valuation allowance positions of certain jurisdictions could be adjusted within the next 12 months.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. Among other changes, OBBBA makes permanent several expiring provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, restores favorable tax treatment of various business provisions, and modifies the international tax regime. The legislation has varying effective dates, with certain provisions effective retrospectively starting January 1, 2025. The tax effects of the enacted legislation are reflected in the period of enactment ended August 30, 2025, and there was no material impact on our effective tax rate as of August 30, 2025. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements.

Current report

(5) The effect of the goodwill impairment charge recognized during the three months ended August 24, 2024 was related to the Europe & Asia Pacific segment.

Current report

On-Demand Talent– Revenue in the On-Demand Talent segment declined by $8.0 million or 15.3%, to $44.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $52.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same day currency basis, revenue decreased 16.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decline was primarily due to lower demand for interim support amidst economic uncertainty as well as a softer and more stagnant labor market, with billable hours decreasing by 15.8% partially offset by a 0.4% (or 0.7% on a constant currency basis) increase in average bill rate.

Current report

Consulting – Revenue in the Consulting segment declined by $11.4 million or 20.7%, to $43.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $55.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same day currency basis, revenue decreased 21.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decline was primarily due to a 28.4% decrease in billable hours, partially offset by a 11.1% (or 11.4% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate largely as a result of the Company’s value-based pricing initiative. As we continue to evolve our consulting business to deliver higher value, larger and more complex work, we have improved our ability to command higher bill rates; however, the sales cycle associated with such deal opportunities tends to be more elongated. As a result, revenue in the Consulting segment could be lumpy in the near term as we continue to execute our strategy in his part of the business.

Current report

Europe & Asia Pacific – Revenue in the Europe & Asia Pacific segment increased by $1.9 million or 10.6%, to $19.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $18.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue increased 5.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to a 0.5% increase in billable hours and a 9.6% (or 4.6% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate. The increase in average bill rates was driven by the Company’s value-based pricing initiative and a shift in geographic revenue mix towards Europe, where average bill rates are higher. Billable hours in Europe increased 21.0% year-over-year, primarily due to growing client demand and project expansions with key accounts, while billable hours in the Asia Pacific region decreased 2.6% primarily due to reduction in client spend and the competitive landscape in the region.

Current report

Outsourced Services – Revenue in the Outsourced Services segment increased by $0.5 million or 5.3%, to $10.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $9.5 million the first quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue increased 3.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in billable hours of 2.1%, partially offset by a 2.2% decrease in the average bill rates.

Current report

All Other – Revenue in the All Other segment increased by $0.3 million or 15.3%, to $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue increased 13.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in billable hours and an average bill rate increaseof 2.7%.

Current report

On-Demand Talent– The On-Demand Talent segment’s Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.9 million or 72.8%, to $4.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase is primarily attributed to a decrease in segment expenses of $3.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit of $1.6 million.

Current report

Consulting – The Consulting segment’s Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2.7 million or 34.9%, to $5.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $7.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease is primarily attributed to a decrease in gross profit of $3.2 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in segment expenses of $0.5 million.

Current report

Europe & Asia Pacific– The Europe & Asia Pacific segment’s Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.6 million or 268.7%, to $0.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $0.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in gross profit of $0.7 million, partially offset by an increase in segment expenses of $0.1 million.

Current report

Outsourced Services – The Outsourced Services segment’s Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.9 million, or 67.1% to$2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $1.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in gross profit of $1.0 million, partially offset by an increase in segment expenses of $0.1 million.

Current report

All Other – The All Other segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.7 million or 139.2% to $0.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $(0.5) million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase is attributed to an increase in gross profit of $0.6 million and a decrease in segment expenses of $0.1 million.

Resources Global Professionals (“RGP,” “we" or “us”) is a professional services firm based in Dallas, Texas (with offices worldwide) focused on delivering consulting execution services that power clients’ operational needs and change initiatives utilizing a combination of bench and on-demand, expert and diverse talent. As a next-generation human capital partner for our clients, we specialize in leadership and co-delivery of enterprise initiatives typically precipitated by business transformation, strategic transactions or regulatory change. Our engagements are designed to leverage human connection and collaboration to deliver practical solutions and more impactful results that power our clients’, employees’ and partners’ success.

Previous report

We are laser-focused on driving long-term growth in our business by seizing favorable macro shifts in workforce strategies and preferences, building an efficient and scalable operating model, and maintaining a distinctive culture and approach to professional services. Our enterprise initiatives in recent years include refining the operating model for sales, talent and delivery to be more client-centric, cultivating a more robust performance culture by aligning incentives to business performance, enhancing our consulting capabilities in digital transformation to align with market demand, improving operating leverage through pricing and a more efficient cost structure, and driving growth through strategic acquisitions.

Previous report

In May 2024, we reorganized our business into three distinct engagement models to create greater clarity for all stakeholders and to better serve our clients. By offering On-Demand Talent, Consulting, and Outsourced Services within one enterprise, we can deliver what clients want today – flexibility, value and integrated service solutions. We believe our focus and execution around this new operating model will serve as the foundation for growth ahead. As further described under Operating Results of Segments below, in connection with this reorganization, management completed an assessment of our operating segments and concluded that we now have five reportable segments comprising each of these engagement models (On-Demand Talent, Consulting, and Outsourced Services), Europe & Asia Pacific and All Other (which includes our Sitrick operating segment).

Previous report

Evolve and execute under our new business segments –Our first area of focus for fiscal 2025 has been to evolve our business by focusing on three core engagement models: On-Demand Talent, Consulting, and Outsourced Services. Our On-Demand Talent business is branded “On-Demand by RGPTM,” our Consulting business is called “Veracity by RGPTM” and our Outsourced Services business is Countsy®. We expect this shift to reduce market and buyer confusion, enhance our ability to focus on our core strengths and areas of expertise, and provide greater optionality for our buying set to engage with RGP. This new organizational structure has enabled us to better serve our clients along their transformation journey by providing targeted skill sets, high value consulting services, and outsourced delivery under a single umbrella. Our approach combines flexibility, best of breed technology, and human-centered design with functional and subject matter expertise. This fiscal year, we have aimed to clarify and operationalize these models to unlock the cross selling of our diversified capabilities throughout our blue-chip, loyal and longstanding client base. Part of the growth plan for our consulting business includes leveraging On-Demand by RGPTM for greater financial flexibility and better skill set alignment. Our growing consulting capability provides us with deeper visibility into our clients’ transformation agendas to drive greater opportunity for our on-demand execution capabilities. In our outsourced services business, we have expanded Countsy’s total addressable market beyond the start-up ecosystem to serve the finance, accounting and human resources needs surrounding spin-outs and carve-outs. Europe and Asia has continued to operate in the geographic regions as one business segment, serving our clients with consulting capabilities and On-Demand Talent. Evolving our business through this reorganization ensures that we are well positioned to execute and succeed as the macro environment recovers.

Previous report

Launch and activate new brand –Our second focus area for this fiscal year has been to launch and activate a new brand identity and brand architecture in the marketplace. The central objective behind our brand refresh was to clarify to stakeholders what we do, who we serve, when to call us, and the impact we deliver. Under this new architecture, RGP serves as an enterprise parent brand, representing a family of brands that are comprised of On-Demand by RGPTM, Veracity by RGPTM and Countsy by RGPTM. We have refreshed our digital properties to reflect our new brand identity and align them with our new brand architecture as part of this effort. We believe these changes will result in clarity around our full suite of capabilities and create greater understanding of the value we can bring to our clients across a broader spectrum.

Previous report

Enhance digital and AI capabilities – Our third focus area for fiscal 2025 has been continuing to expand and enhance our technology, digital and data capabilities across all business units. The increased adoption of digital tools, remote work styles, generative artificial intelligence, and globalization is driving new areas of need within our client base. We are actively adding skilled on-demand and consulting professionals in areas such as technology migration, cybersecurity, data modernization and data privacy, and user experience to proactively meet these evolving client needs. Under the Veracity by RGPTM consulting business we are bringing together our digital transformation business and the deep functional expertise within RGP’s legacy Project Consulting Services (PCS) group. We believe this combined offering will uniquely position us to offer our clients integrated end-to-end consulting solutions in the digital arena.

On July 1, 2024, we acquired Reference Point LLC (“Reference Point”). See Note 4 –Acquisitions included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion about our acquisition of Reference Point. Reference Point is reported within the Consulting Services operating segment from the date of acquisition. With the addition of Reference Point, we are also now able to bring tailored technology and data modernization offerings to our many financial services industry clients.

Previous report

The Company performed interim quantitative goodwill impairment assessments for its reporting units, each of which is also a reporting segment, during the three months ended February 22, 2025, November 23, 2024 and August 24, 2024, which resulted in pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $42.0 million, $79.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company continued to experience slow recovery in business performance within the On-Demand Talent and Consulting segments. As a result, the Company performed a goodwill impairment assessment for each of its reporting units with associated goodwill, in which the estimated fair values of each reporting unit were compared to its respective carrying amounts. Based on this assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $12.4 million in the On-Demand Talent segment and $29.6 million for the Consulting segment for the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

Previous report

In performing the goodwill impairment assessments, the Company considers the assumptions used in determining the estimated fair values of its reporting units to be reasonable and appropriate. However, the assumptions are complex and subjective, and additional adverse changes in a key assumption or a combination of key assumptions may significantly affect the Company’s assessment of the fair value and goodwill impairment. These assumptions include, among other things, a failure to meet expected earnings or other financial plans; changes in the discount rate, the terminal growth rate or tax rates; or significant changes in industry or economic trends. If the assumptions noted above adversely change, negative macroeconomic conditions worsen or the Company’s market capitalization decreases for a sustained period of time, the Company may be required to perform additional impairment analysis that could result in additional impairment charges and materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. See Note 6 –Goodwill and Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our goodwill impairment.

Previous report

(4)Goodwill impairment charges recognized during the three and nine months ended February 22, 2025 were related to the On-Demand Talent, Consulting and, for the nine-month period only, Europe and Asia Pacific segments.

Previous report

Revenue. Revenue decreased $21.9 million, or 14.5%, to $129.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 from $151.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue decreased by $16.9 million, or 11.2%. The demand environment remained choppy and has not shown consistent signs of improving. Clients continued to be cautious and selective about moving forward with transformation projects or filling professional interim roles. In addition, the mid-week timing of both the Christmas and New Year's holidays caused a more significant impact on the third quarter revenue compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. Compared to the prior year quarter, billable hours decreased by 17.0%, while the average bill rate increased by 3.4% (or 4.2% on a constant currency basis). The year-over-year improvement in average bill rate is attributable to an ongoing focus on value-based pricing, and a shift in revenue mix towards higher value consulting projects. Additionally, average bill rates continue to reflect the global revenue mix, which currently includes a higher proportion of revenue generated in Asia Pacific, where bill rates are significantly lower than in the United States (“U.S.”) and Europe.

Previous report

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $51.2 million, or 39.5% of revenue, for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $49.6 million, or 32.8% of revenue, for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The $1.6 million increase in SG&A year-over-year was primarily driven by a $1.3 million increase in employee termination benefits associated with the December 2024 reduction in force, intended to enhance efficiencies through reduced costs and streamlined operations (the “2025 Restructuring Plan”), and a $1.1 million increase in computer software expenses primarily associated with our technology transformation initiative. These increases were partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in employee compensation expense partially as a result of the reduction in force.

Previous report

Management and administrative headcount was 722 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and 830 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Management and administrative headcount includes full time equivalent headcount for our seller-doer group, a consulting term for a professional who balances business development activities with billable work for clients, which is determined by utilization levels achieved by the seller-doers. Any unutilized time is converted to full time equivalent management and administrative headcount.

Previous report

Goodwill Impairment. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, due to the slow recovery in business performance within the Company’s On-Demand Talent and Consulting segments, the Company conducted a goodwill impairment analysis and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $42.0 million, which included $12.4 million for the On-Demand Talent segment and $29.6 million for the Consulting segment. See Note 6 –Goodwill and Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Previous report

Income Taxes. Income tax benefit was $5.6 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 11.3%, for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to an income tax expense of $1.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 43.2%, for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. We record tax expense based upon actual results versus a forecasted tax rate because of the volatility in our international operations that span numerous tax jurisdictions. The income tax benefit in the quarter ended February 22, 2025 was primarily attributed to the Company’s pretax loss. The lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was due to the non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment, coupled with the $2.2 million establishment of a valuation allowance on the Company’s UK entity. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 resulted largely from a lower pretax income base increasing the tax expense ratio.

Previous report

We recognized a tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively, associated with the exercise of nonqualified stock options, vesting of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based stock units (“PSUs”), and disqualifying dispositions by employees of shares acquired under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

Previous report

Periodically, we review the components of both book and taxable income to prepare the tax provision. There can be no assurance that our effective tax rate will remain constant in the future because of the lower benefit from the U.S. statutory rate for losses in certain foreign jurisdictions, the limitation on the benefit for losses in jurisdictions in which a valuation allowance for operating loss carryforwards has previously been established, and the unpredictability of timing and the amount of disqualifying dispositions of certain stock options.

Consolidated Operating Results – Nine Months Ended February 22, 2025 Compared to Nine Months Ended February 24, 2024

Previous report

Revenue. Revenue decreased $72.6 million, or 15.0%, to $412.0 million for the nine months ended February 22, 2025 from $484.6 million for the nine months ended February 24, 2024. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue for the nine months ended February 22, 2025 decreased by $70.7 million, or 14.6%, compared to the nine months ended February 24, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to reduced client spending across a majority of our markets, client segments and solution offerings as a result of the persistently challenging global macroeconomic environment. The time to close opportunities in the pipeline continued to be protracted, typical in a tougher macro environment when clients are more hesitant to spend on professional services. Billable hours decreased by 14.4% and the average bill rate decreased by 0.8% (or remained flat on a constant currency basis) from the nine months ended February 24, 2024.

Previous report

Direct Cost of Services. Direct cost of services decreased $37.6 million, or 12.6%, to $260.5 million for the nine months ended February 22, 2025 from $298.1 million for the nine months ended February 24, 2024. The decrease in direct cost of services was primarily attributable to a 14.4% decline in billable hours as a result of reduced client spending as noted above while the average pay rate remained flat (or increased by 1.7% on a constant currency basis) in the nine months ended February 22, 2025 compared to the nine months ended February 24, 2024.

Previous report

Direct cost of services as a percentage of revenue was 63.2% for the nine months ended February 22, 2025 compared to 61.5% for the nine months ended February 24, 2024. The increased percentage compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a 40 basis point increase (or 80 basis point increase on a constant currency basis) in the pay/bill ratio, lower utilization of salaried consultants and less favorable leverage on cost of services as a result of lower revenue.

Previous report

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A was $151.4 million, or 36.7% of revenue, for the nine months ended February 22, 2025 compared to $162.5 million, or 33.5% of revenue, for the nine months ended February 24, 2024. The $11.1 million decrease in SG&A year-over-year was primarily attributed to lower employee compensation expense of $9.2 million largely resulting from the restructuring plans and ongoing alignment of resource capacity to demand, a $3.4 million gain on the sale of the Irvine office building, and a decrease of $1.1 million of marketing expenses. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in computer software and certain professional services fees, a $1.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses related to new equity awards granted, and a $1.0 million increase in costs related to acquisitions.

Previous report

Goodwill Impairment. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company completed a goodwill impairment assessment concurrent with its segment change and concluded that the carrying value of the Europe and Asia Pacific segment was in excess of its fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $3.9 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, in light of a decline in the Company's market capitalization, along with slower than expected recovery in business performance within the Company’s On-Demand Talent segment and Europe and Asia Pacific segment, the Company conducted a goodwill impairment analysis and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $79.5 million in the On-Demand Talent and Europe and Asia Pacific segments. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, due to the slow recovery in business performance within the Company’s On-Demand Talent segment and Consulting segment, the Company conducted a goodwill impairment analysis and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $42.0 million. See Note 6 –Goodwill and Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Income tax benefit was $12.3 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 9.4%, for the nine months ended February 22, 2025 compared to income tax expense of $7.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 42.4%, for the nine months ended February 24, 2024. We record tax expense based upon actual results versus a forecasted tax rate because of the volatility in our international operations that span numerous tax jurisdictions. The income tax benefit in the nine months ended February 22, 2025 was primarily attributed to the Company’s pretax loss. The lower effective tax rate in the nine months ended February 22, 2025 was due to the non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment, coupled with the $2.2 million establishment of a valuation allowance on the Company’s UK entity. The higher effective tax rate in the nine months ended February 24, 2024 was attributed primarily to a nonrecurring increase in forfeiture of stock options, coupled with the capitalization of acquisition related costs for tax purposes.

Previous report

The Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended February 22, 2025 and February 24, 2024, respectively, associated with the exercise of nonqualified stock options, vesting of RSAs, RSUs, PSUs, and disqualifying dispositions by employees of shares acquired under the ESPP.

Previous report

On-Demand Talent– Revenue in the On-Demand Talent segment declined by $17.1 million or 26.6%, to $47.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $64.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decline was primarily due to lower demand across solution areas amongst economic uncertainty, with billable hours decreasing by 24.8% and a 2.1% (or 1.4% on a constant currency basis) decline in average bill rate. Demand for interim support remained challenged in the third quarter due in part to the labor market trend with less talent movement across employers, which has historically been a generator for demand in this segment. For the nine months ended February 22, 2025, On-Demand Talent segment revenue decreased by $60.1 million or 28.2%, to $153.0 million compared to $213.1 million for the nine months ended February 24, 2024, primarily as a result of a 25.7% decrease in billable hours and a 2.8% (also 2.8% on a constant currency basis) decrease in average bill rate due to revenue mix weighing more heavily in Mexico.

Previous report

Consulting – Revenue in the Consulting segment declined by $3.2 million or 5.8%, to $52.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $55.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decline was primarily due to an 18.8% decrease in billable hours, partially offset by a 12.8% (or 13.5% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate largely as a result of the Company’s value-based pricing initiative as well as a change in geographic revenue mix. Additionally, the current quarter results include the addition of Reference Point (acquired in the first fiscal quarter of 2025) which carries a significantly higher average bill rate. Reference Point contributed $4.0 million of revenue during the third fiscal quarter of 2025. For the nine months ended February 22, 2025, Consulting segment revenue decreased by $3.5 million or 2.0%, to $168.3 million compared to $171.7 million for the nine months ended February 24, 2024, primarily as a result of a 8.2% decrease in billable hours partially offset by a 6.3% (or 6.3% on a constant currency basis) increase in average bill rate. Reference Point contributed $11.5 million of revenue during the nine months ended February 22, 2025.

Previous report

Europe and Asia Pacific – Revenue in the Europe and Asia Pacific segment declined by $1.1 million or 5.4%, to $18.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $19.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decline was primarily due to a 5.5% decrease in billable hours, which was offset by a 1.7% (or 5.2% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate largely as a result of the Company’s value-based pricing initiative as well as a change in geographic revenue mix. The regions continued to experience delays in decision making and project starts as clients sorted through their own organizational challenges amidst economic uncertainty. For the nine months ended February 22, 2025, Europe and Asia Pacific segment revenue decreased by $8.4 million or 13.0%, to $56.3 million compared to $64.7 million for the nine months ended February 24, 2024, primarily as a result of a 6.2% decrease in billable hours and a 6.5% (or 6.5% on a constant currency basis) decrease in average bill rate. Pricing competition remained fierce across the regions, from the Big 4 firms as well as local boutique firms. Additionally, this segment has seen a higher proportion of revenue in Asia Pacific in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which carries significantly lower average bill rates.

Previous report

Outsourced Services – Revenue in the Outsourced Services segment remained flat at $9.4 million compared to the prior year quarter. Both billable hours and average bill rates remained steady. For the nine months ended February 22, 2025, Outsourced Services segment revenue increased by $0.4 million or 1.5%, to $28.3 million compared to $27.9 million for the nine months ended February 24, 2024, primarily as a result of an 0.8% increase in billable hours while the average bill rate year-over-year remained flat.

Previous report

All Other – Revenue in the All Other segment declined by $0.5 million or 21.7% to $1.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $2.3 million in the prior year quarter.

For the nine months ended February 22, 2025, All Other segment revenue decreased by $1.1 million or 14.7%, to $6.2 million compared to $7.2 million for the nine months ended February 24, 2024.

Compared to the prior year quarter, revenue decreased $17.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which was partially offset by the decrease in the related cost of services of $10.3 million. Additionally, SG&A costs decreased by $2.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily due to a decrease in employee compensation expense.

Previous wording

On a macro level, uncertain macroeconomic conditions including ambiguity around interest rates, softening labor markets, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, recent government and policy changes implemented in the United States, and tariff actions and uncertainties related to trade wars have created significant uncertainty in the global economy, volatility in the capital markets and recessionary pressures, which has adversely impacted our financial results. We expect these conditions will continue through at least the rest of fiscal 2025. While we are not able to fully predict the potential impact, we continue to see caution in professional services spending within our client base. Additionally, in connection with recent actions we have taken to execute on our diversified services strategy for long term growth and stability, we have experienced both voluntary and involuntary attrition, including within our sales team, which may affect our near-term revenue performance. If these conditions or impacts persist or if a prolonged economic downturn or recession develops, it could result in further decline in billable hours and negatively impact our bill rates which would adversely affect our financial results and operating cash flows.

Direct Cost of Services. Direct cost of services decreased $11.2 million, or 11.8%, to $84.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 from $95.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in direct cost of services was primarily attributable to a 17.0% decline in billable hours as a result of reduced client spending as noted above, while the average pay rate remained steady (or increased by 1.7% on a constant currency basis) during the quarter ended February 22, 2025 compared to the prior year quarter.

Previous wording

Direct cost of services as a percentage of revenue was 64.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 63.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The increased percentage compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to additional holiday pay on Thanksgiving in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. In addition, the mid-week timing of both the Christmas and New Year’s holidays caused lower utilization of our salaried consultants. These adverse impact was partially offset by an improved pay/bill ratio. We continue to seek improvement in the overall pay/bill ratio and indirect cost leverage through strategic pricing, while offering competitive compensation and benefits to our consultants to attract and retain the best talent in the marketplace.

Current wording

Cost of services as a percentage of revenue was 60.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 63.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decreased percentage compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to an improved pay/bill ratio and lower consultant costs, including reductions in medical insurance, employer payroll taxes, paid time off and holiday pay. We continue to seek improvement in the overall pay/bill ratio and indirect cost leverage through strategic pricing, while offering competitive compensation and benefits to our consultants to attract and retain the best talent in the marketplace.
