TrueBlue (TBI) Beats Q2 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
zacks.com • 2mo ago SEC Filing ⚠ 8
TBI: 10-Q · periodic report
TrueBlue's fiscal Q2 2026 revenue rose 11.8% year over year to $443.0 million, led by PeopleReady's skilled staffing business in energy and commercial driving, but the company posted a net loss of $3.4 million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, versus a $0.2 million loss a year earlier. Gross profit fell 2.1% to $91.6 million as gross margin compressed 290 basis points to 20.7% on higher workers' compensation costs and mix shift toward lower-margin staffing.
The quarter absorbed a $3.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment on the Healthcare Staffing Professionals reporting unit, triggered by reduced government funding hitting certain HSP clients, plus a $3.0 million loss on the Tacoma headquarters after buyer non-performance delayed the sale. Despite the consolidated loss, segment profit improved across all three segments, with PeopleReady profit up $7.0 million to $8.6 million and cost cuts lowering SG&A 6.6%.
Liquidity stands at $79.5 million, combining $23.3 million of cash with $56.2 million unused on a $150.0 million borrowing base, while revolver debt rose to $82.4 million at a 7.23% weighted average rate to fund working capital. No shares were repurchased under the buyback program in the first half, leaving $33.5 million of authorization untouched.
In new risk-factor disclosures, TrueBlue revealed it has received unsolicited proposals to buy all or a portion of the company that the board unanimously rejected, and warned that activist shareholders have sought and may again seek to effect change — a notable development for a micro-cap staffing stock.
