BGSF, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Lower administrative expenses and a shift from net interest expense to net interest income accompanied the return to quarterly profitability.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
BGSF (NYSE: BGSF) returned to quarterly profitability from continuing operations, reporting net income of $94,000 for its third fiscal quarter. For the quarter ended September 27, 2026, continuing-operations earnings were $0.01 per diluted share, versus a $3.078 million loss, or $0.28 per share, a year earlier. Revenue fell to $25.129 million from $26.895 million as billable hours declined. Gross profit decreased to $9.083 million from $9.660 million, while gross margin rose to 36.1% from 35.9%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses fell to $8.718 million from $10.223 million. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP earnings measure, declined to $858,000 from $980,000. Consolidated net income, including discontinued operations, was $344,000 versus a $5.812 million loss. For the first 39 weeks, revenue fell to $68.324 million from $71.284 million, while the continuing-operations loss narrowed to $2.129 million from $10.269 million.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The financial results of BGSF, Inc. are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. To help the readers understand our financial performance, we supplement our GAAP financial results with Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS.
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 from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of a company. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income per diluted share, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or measures of our liquidity. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are useful performance measures and are 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 (income) expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, costs associated with the evaluation of potential strategic alternatives (“strategic alternatives review/restructuring”), software as a service costs, and certain non-cash expenses such as share-based compensation expense, as well as certain specific events that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance.
We define “Adjusted EPS” as diluted earnings per share eliminating interest (income) expense, depreciation, and amortization expense, the strategic alternatives review/restructuring, software as a service costs, and certain non-cash expenses such as share-based compensation expense, as well as certain specific events that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance, net of the respective income tax effect.
