Management Commentary

“We are pleased to deliver top line revenue and SG&A results toward the favorable end of our outlook ranges provided in October,” said Kate W. Duchene, Chief Executive Officer. “We worked diligently throughout the quarter to extend engagements and close new business in a persistently uncertain macro environment. In general, clients continued to take longer to approve budgets and green light significant new projects so we are staying very close to be ready when the pent-up demand releases. Given our strong client retention and the depth of conversations we are having with our largest clients, we are cautiously optimistic that the buying environment and our own revenue growth will improve in calendar 2024. In the meantime, we are laser focused on expanding our consulting capabilities in digital transformation and technology services, extending offshore talent strategies by building Centers of Excellence in India and the Philippines to blend project teams, and delivering on our technology transformation project to drive even better operating efficiency, all of which will position the Company for strength as economic conditions gradually recover.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

Revenue of $163.1 million compared to $200.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased by 19.2% reflecting the impact of a persistently challenging macroeconomic environment. Gross pipeline remained relatively resilient, as 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. Compared to the prior year quarter, billable hours decreased by 15.1% and the average bill rate declined by 4.7% (or 5.5% on a constant currency basis). The change in average bill rate was due to a shift in revenue mix across the globe to regions with lower average bill rate. The United States (U.S.) and Europe average bill rates increased by 1.3% and 4.7% on a constant currency basis, respectively, compared to the prior year as a result of the Company’s initiative focused on value based pricing.

Gross margin was 38.9% compared to 41.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The reduction in gross margin was due to a higher pay/bill ratio and a spike in healthcare costs that contributed approximately 130-basis points of adverse impact. While the pay/bill ratio in the U.S. remained relatively consistent with the prior year, the enterprise pay/bill ratio was negatively impacted by an increased proportion of revenue in regions with a higher pay/bill ratio. The Company continues to execute its value-based pricing initiative to expand bill pay spread and improve operating leverage.

SG&A for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $53.0 million, or 32.5% of revenue, compared to $56.8 million, or 28.3% of revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The improvement in SG&A year over year was primarily due to the reduction in bonuses and commissions by $5.6 million as a result of lower revenue and profitability achievement compared to the incentive targets, and a decrease of $1.7 million in stock compensation expense as a result of forfeitures and remeasurement of achievement associated with performance‑based equity awards, partially offset by one-time costs of $2.3 million of employee termination benefits in connection with the reduction in force during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and $1.1 million of costs related to the acquisition of CloudGo Pte Ltd (“CloudGo”). The acquisition closed on November 15, 2023 and CloudGo’s results of operations through November 25, 2023 were not material.

Income tax expense was $3.8 million (an effective tax rate of 43.4%), compared to $5.9 million (an effective tax rate of 25.2%) in the prior year quarter. The higher effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was attributed primarily to a nonrecurring increase in forfeiture of stock options, coupled with the capitalization of acquisition related costs for tax purposes. Additionally, the lower tax effective rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 resulted from a number of one-time tax benefits recognized and a larger pretax income base lowering the tax expense ratio.

Net income was $4.9 million (net income margin of 3.0%), compared to $17.4 million (net income margin of 8.7%) in the prior year quarter, due primarily to lower gross profit resulting from the overall macro-environment. The Company delivered an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 14.8% in the prior year comparable quarter.

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, GAAP. 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 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, one-time acquisition costs and restructuring costs. Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level excludes certain shared corporate administrative costs that are not practical to allocate.
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue.
  • Cash tax rate excludes the non-cash tax impact of stock option expirations, non-cash tax impact of valuation allowances on international deferred tax assets, and other non-cash tax items.
  • Adjusted income tax expense is calculated based on the Company’s cash tax rates (as defined above).
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per common share is calculated as diluted earnings per common share, plus or minus the per share impact of stock-based compensation expense, technology transformation costs, one-time acquisition costs, 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.

Segment Results

On May 31, 2022, the Company divested taskforce – Management on Demand GmbH, and its wholly owned subsidiary skillforce – Executive Search GmbH, a German professional services firm operating under the taskforce brand (“taskforce). Since the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the business operated by taskforce, along with its parent company, Resources Global Professionals (Germany) GmbH, an affiliate of the Company, represented an operating segment of the Company and was reported as a part of Other Segments.

Effective May 31, 2022, the Company’s operating segments consist of RGP and Sitrick. Prior-period comparative segment information was not restated as a result of the divestiture of taskforce as the Company did not have a change in internal organization or the financial information that the Chief Operating Decision Maker uses to assess performance and allocate resources.

RGP is the Company’s only operating segment that meets the quantitative threshold of a reportable segment. Sitrick does not individually meet the quantitative threshold to qualify as a reportable segment. Therefore, Sitrick is disclosed in Other Segments. On November 15, 2023, the Company acquired CloudGo, which is reported as part of the RGP operating segment.

The following table discloses the Company’s revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by segment for each of the periods presented (in thousands):
