Atlantic to Add Approximately $200 Million in Annual Revenue from Pending Acquisition of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., Resulting in Pro Forma Annual Revenue of Approximately $640 Million

Growth Follows Atlantic’s Completed Merger with Lyneer Staffing Solutions

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atlantic International Corp. (“Atlantic”) (OTC: ATLN), a leading provider of strategic staffing outsourced services and workforce solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. “Atlantic achieved continued strength in sales growth in the third quarter, which was our second reporting period as a newly public company. Our expansion of large accounts, and new account wins, as well as continued on-site openings for existing clients, is a testament to the outstanding service and value we deliver to our customers,” said Jeffrey Jagid, Chief Executive Officer.

Key Q3 Financial Highlights:

- Revenue: Atlantic International Corp. reported revenue of $107.8 million, representing a 10.2% increase compared to $97.8 million for the same period last year. Growth is attributed to expansion within our existing customer base including large domestic shippers, packers and CPG companies, and new location openings in Texas and the Southeast.

- Gross Profit: Gross profit for the quarter was $11.9 million, representing 11.0% of revenue, compared to $11.6 million, or 11.9% of revenue, in the same period last year.

In the third quarter, we announced our Site Selection Dashboards, which are designed to transform how businesses make location-based hiring and expansion decisions. This technology leverages our in-place executive team, existing back-office operations and enables us to add higher margin business, including permanent staffing revenues, which we expect to result in higher margin revenue and further diversify our customer base as we broaden customer access and use of the dashboard technology.

Operational Highlights:

- Expansion Initiatives: Atlantic International Corp.’s subsidiary Lyneer continues to expand on-premise locations for customers where we manage warehouse operations -- including the hiring and firing of employees, executive management, scheduling and payroll, paying over 12,000 employees weekly.

- New Onsite Location: The company successfully opened a Temple, Texas logistics center on behalf of a large existing customer, bolstering our position in the fast-growing market and enhancing our service capabilities for one of the world’s largest global logistics providers.

- M&A Execution and Integration: We recently announced the definitive merger agreement with Staffing 360 Solutions Inc. (“Staffing 360”), which if completed, is expected to add nearly $200 million in annual revenue, resulting in a proforma annual revenue of approximately $640 million. We expect run-rate cost synergies of approximately $10 million from integration. The combined company would have over 1,500 customers, with no customer generating more than 5% of total revenue.

- Benefits to Shareholders from Staffing 360 Acquisition: Shareholders are expected to benefit from the scale, liquidity and capital alternatives of a larger combined company. Additionally, larger capitalized human capital management and workforce solutions companies have historically carried premium valuations. Further, our scale is expected to create cost efficiencies and decrease Atlantic’s operating expense ratio, improving profitability as we spread fixed costs across the larger revenue base.

We expect to close the merger transaction within the next 90 days, subject to customary approvals.

Management Commentary

“We are pleased to report another strong quarter, driven by strong revenue growth at our subsidiary, Lyneer Staffing Solutions,” said Jeffrey Jagid, CEO. “Senior management’s focus on M&A delivered – with the announcement of our definitive merger with Staffing 360, another large operator in the sector. Through a stock merger, we will be able to deliver significant value to both Atlantic and Staffing 360 shareholders, setting the precedent for continued M&A in our pipeline, which is now in excess of $1 billion. We also look forward to our pending uplisting to a National Securities Exchange.”
