SPAR Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
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
SPAR Group (SGRP) reported a second consecutive profitable quarter, earning $50 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Revenue fell 19.0% to $33.5 million year over year, while gross margin rose to 18.9% from 18.6% and selling, general and administrative expenses fell 39.0%. Adjusted EBITDA reached $1.4 million versus $90 thousand.
For the nine months ended September 30, revenue fell 11.5% to $101 million, and the net loss narrowed to $94 thousand from $8.3 million. Operating activities used $7.2 million in cash; quarter-end cash was $4.7 million. SPAR forecasts 2026 revenue of $125–$130 million, versus $136 million in 2025, reflecting lower remodel activity, projects moving to 2027 and slower retail capital spending. It forecasts gross margin of 20.0%–22.0%. After quarter-end, SPAR signed a three-year national retailer services agreement beginning in 2027.
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.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP net income attributable to SPAR Group and related per share amounts represent net income attributable to SPAR Group adjusted for the removal of a one-time positive adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before, as applicable from time to time, (i) depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, (ii) interest expense (iii) income tax expense, (iv) Board of Directors incremental compensation expense, (v) restructuring, (vi) impairment, (vii) nonrecurring legal settlement costs and associated legal expenses unrelated to the Company's core operations, (viii) and special items as determined by management. These metrics are supplemental measures of our operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. We present Adjusted net income attributable to SPAR Group and per share amounts, and Adjusted EBITDA because management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe that securities analysts, investors and others use these measures to evaluate companies in our industry. Our calculation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. The following tables present a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to these measures for the periods presented:
