Management Commentary
“First quarter results exceeded our outlook ranges on all fronts and we continue to make progress to transform our business to be more integrated, diversified and resilient,” said Kate W. Duchene, Chief Executive Officer. “We are engaging with clients on more consulting opportunities which have higher bill rates, larger deal size and often create more extension and cross selling. We are increasingly becoming a trusted partner for larger transformations, whether cost reduction, system migration or data modernization and automation-focused programs. We have a plan which we are executing with clarity and conviction in this new fiscal year; we will continue to deepen and expand our consulting capabilities in the focus areas of CFO Advisory & Digital Transformation while strengthening and evolving our on-demand business to be even more relevant in today’s marketplace. In addition, while the macro environment remains unpredictable, we are laser focused on redesigning our cost structure to deliver improved return to shareholders both in the short and long term. We remain confident in our strategy and optimistic about the future of this company. ”
First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $120.2 million compared to $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%. Average bill rates increased 2.2% year over year, reflecting continued pricing discipline and pursuit of higher-value engagements. Offsetting this increase, billable hours decreased 14.3% year-over-year, primarily due to choppy demand, as clients delayed transformation projects amid continued global economic uncertainty and soft labor markets.
Gross margin improved to 39.5% compared to 36.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to an improvement in pay/bill ratio, higher consultant utilization and lower costs, including improvements in healthcare costs, and holiday pay reflecting one less holiday in the current fiscal quarter.
SG&A for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $47.9 million, or 39.9% of revenue, an improvement from $48.9 million, or 35.7% of revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The $1.0 million improvement was primarily driven by a $2.4 million reduction in employee compensation and benefits costs following the Company’s restructuring activities in fiscal 2025, a $1.9 million reduction in technology transformation costs primarily associated with technology implementation during fiscal 2025, a $1.1 million reduction related to business support costs including travel and entertainment, a $0.8 million reduction in acquisition related costs, and a $0.4 million reduction in occupancy expenses. These improvements 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, and 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 improvement was related to various general and overhead costs.
Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $0.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 24.7%, compared to $1.1 million, or an effective tax rate of 22.7%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The negative effective tax rates in both periods reflect the impact of recording tax expense against consolidated pretax losses. In fiscal 2026, the expense was driven primarily by an increase in the domestic and foreign valuation allowance, while in fiscal 2025 it was driven primarily by a non-deductible tax adjustment related to goodwill impairment.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $2.4 million (net loss margin of 2.0%), an improvement from a net loss of $5.7 million (net loss margin of 4.2%) in the prior year quarter. This improvement was primarily driven by a reduction in SG&A expenses and the absence of goodwill impairment in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company delivered an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 2.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 up from 1.7% in the prior year quarter.
First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Segment Revenue Results
On-Demand Talent– Revenue in the On-Demand Talent segment was $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 variance was primarily due to lower demand for interim support amidst economic uncertainty as well as a softer and more stagnant labor market, with a 0.4% (or 0.7% on a constant currency basis) increase in average bill rate, which was more than offset by a 15.8% decline in billable hours.
Consulting– Revenue in the Consulting segment was $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 variance 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 the Company continues to evolve its consulting business to deliver higher value, larger and more complex work, it has improved its ability to command higher bill rates; however, the sales cycle associated with such deal opportunities tends to be more elongated. As a result, revenues in the Consulting segment could be uneven in the near term as the Company continues to execute its strategy in this part of the business.
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 improvement 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 declined 2.6% primarily due to reduction in client spend and the competitive landscape in the region.
Outsourced Services – Revenue in the Outsourced Services segment increased by $0.5 million or 5.3% compared to the prior year quarter, to $10.0 million. 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%.
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 increase of 2.7%.

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 income (loss) before amortization expense, depreciation expense, interest and income taxes.
- Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortized Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system costs. technology transformation costs, goodwill impairment, acquisition costs, 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, excluding 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 (loss), earnings (loss) 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.

The tax effect of each adjustment is determined based on the tax laws and valuation allowance status of the jurisdiction to which the adjustment relates. An adjusted effective income tax rate has been determined for each period presented by applying the statutory income tax rate, net of adjustments for valuation allowances, where applicable, which was used to compute Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented. For the quarter ended August 30, 2025, due to the existence of a U.S. tax valuation allowance, the tax impact of the pre-tax adjustments is immaterial. For the quarter ended August 24, 2024, the tax impact of the pre-tax adjustments is immaterial due to the offsetting tax effects of the adjustments. |
|

|
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 33,165,096 and 33,406,552 as of August 30, 2025 and August 24, 2024, respectively. |
