PLANO, Texas, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BG Staffing, Inc. (NYSE MKT: BGSF), a rapidly growing national provider of temporary staffing services, today reported financial results for its quarter ended March 29, 2015.

Q1 2015 Overview

  • In fiscal March, we completed our sixth acquisition (D&W Talent, LLC) thereby expanding our service offerings into a new business segment – finance and accounting.
  • We paid our first dividend of $0.15 per share.
  • Quarterly revenue exceeded Q1 2014 by $1.8 million, and margins increased by 0.6%.

"We continued to make important progress in executing our business plan during the first quarter of 2015," said L. Allen Baker, Jr. President and CEO.

"The completion of this latest accretive acquisition, in the attractive staffing niche of finance and accounting fits perfectly into our growth and expansion plans. It will allow us to further diversify the revenue and cash flow portfolio we are building for our shareholders - and leverage our internal operational infrastructure," Baker concluded.

Q1 2015 Results

Revenues for the first quarter 2015 were $40.9 million, an increase of 4.7% when compared with revenues from the first quarter 2014 of $39.0 million. Gross profit was 20.4% for the first quarter 2015 compared with 19.8% for the first quarter 2014. The Company reported a net income of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share for the first quarter 2015 compared with net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for the first quarter 2014.  On March 29, 2015, the Company's working capital position was $10.7 million.

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.3 million, or 5.7% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2015, compared with $2.1 million, or 5.4% of revenues for the same period in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA.  A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of a company. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of our liquidity. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure and is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone.

We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, loss on early extinguishment of related party debt, transaction fees related to our acquisitions, and other non-cash expenses such as the put option adjustment and stock-based compensation expense.
