HireQuest (HQI) reported Q3 2025 results. Revenue was $8.5 million, down from $9.4 million a year ago, reflecting softer system-wide sales. Net income improved to $2.3 million from a $2.2 million loss, and diluted EPS was $0.16 (basic $0.17) versus a $0.16 loss. The swing to profit was aided by lower impairment charges and a workers’ compensation benefit.

Franchise royalties were $8.1 million in the quarter; Northbound/MRI/SearchPath and HireQuest Direct saw declines, while Snelling/HireQuest was stable. The company recorded a $230 thousand impairment to the MRI trade name and shortened MRI franchise agreement lives, which will lift annual amortization by about $202 thousand.
