Management Commentary
“Consistent with the prior quarter, fourth quarter results were aligned with our outlook for revenue, gross margin, and run rate SG&A expense,” said Roger Carlile, Chief Executive Officer. “Market conditions also remain broadly consistent to the third quarter with our North America and Asia markets performing as expected while Europe exhibited some weakness. As a result, our priorities continue to be refocusing our On-Demand Talent segment offerings, scaling our Consulting segment, pursuing AI as both a client-service and an internal opportunity, streamlining how we operate and aligning our cost structure with our revenue levels. In the fourth quarter, we made additional focused investments to support these priorities, and we continue to expect these and prior quarter investments to drive revenue growth as they mature through an anticipated ramp-up period.”
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
Revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $106.1 million compared to $139.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue was down 18.3% compared to the prior year quarter. The Company continues to experience softer demand in traditional operational accounting skills in our On-Demand Talent segment and longer sales cycle for projects in our Consulting segment. Billable hours decreased 20.9%, partially attributable to one less week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year quarter as well as the sale of Sitrick, LLC ("Sitrick"), the Company's crisis communication business, on May 2, 2026. The average bill rate declined by 3.6% (3.9% on a constant currency basis) due to a shift in revenue mix towards regions with lower average bill rates. Average bill rate in the U.S continued to show steady improvement over the prior year.
Gross margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was 37.6% compared to 40.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. While pay bill ratio improved by 31 basis points, lower consultant utilization and negative operating leverage continued to impact gross margin.
GAAP SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 were $54.6 million, or 51.5% of revenue, compared to $50.6 million, or 36.3% of revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The $4.0 million increase in SG&A expenses year-over-year was primarily attributed to $4.6 million of severance and stock-based compensation expense incurred in connection with the Company's sale of Sitrick, $3.2 million of severance and stock based compensation costs associated with the separation of the Company's former COO, and a $2.4 million loss on the sale of Sitrick. These increases were offset by a $2.4 million decrease in employee compensation and benefits costs following the reductions in force in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026 in connection with the Company's restructuring and transformation initiatives, a $1.5 million decrease in costs associated with the internal use of consultants, a $0.7 million decrease in restructuring costs related to our restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, a $0.6 million decrease in occupancy expenses, a $0.6 million decrease in professional services fees, and a $0.5 million decrease related to other general and administrative costs due to our efforts to achieve an improved cost structure.
Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $0.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 3.7%, compared to an income tax expense of $8.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 12.2% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The income tax expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was primarily attributable to income tax expense from profitable foreign jurisdictions, while losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions did not result in a tax benefit due to the existence of valuation allowances. The income tax expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily attributed to the permanent disallowance of a portion of the goodwill impairment for tax purposes and the establishment of a valuation allowance on the Company's domestic net deferred tax assets.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $16.1 million (net loss margin of 15.1%), compared to net loss of $73.3 million (net loss margin of 52.6%) in the prior year quarter. Both fiscal quarters contained a number of non-run-rate items, including restructuring expenses, executive separation costs and costs in connection with the sale of Sitrick in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, a goodwill impairment charge, and technology transformation costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA was $(0.6) million (margin of (0.6%) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $9.8 million (margin of 7.1%) in the prior year quarter.
Full Fiscal Year 2026 Results
Full year revenue was $452.0 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $551.3 million a year ago, or a decrease of 18.0% (or 17.4% on a same-day constant currency basis). Billable hours decreased 17.5% and the average bill rate decreased 0.9% (1.5% on a constant currency basis) during fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025. The decline in billable hours was primarily attributable to softer demand for traditional operational accounting skills within our On-Demand Talent segment as clients continue to adopt AI and automation as well as longer sales cycle for more complex projects within our Consulting segment. While the enterprise average bill rate declined year over year driven by a shift in revenue mix towards regions with lower average bill rates, average bill rate in the U.S. improved by 2.4%, reflecting our continued focus on value based pricing and increased pricing power within our consulting segment as we expand our service capabilities to deliver more impactful solutions.
Gross margin for fiscal 2026 remained relatively flat at 37.5% for fiscal 2026 compared to 37.6% in the prior year. Despite a 70 basis points improvement in pay bill ratio, the benefit was offset by negative operating leverage associated with lower revenue.
SG&A expense was $202.8 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $202.0 million in fiscal 2025. The $0.8 million increase in SG&A expenses year-over-year was primarily attributed to $12.2 million of costs associated with the separation of the Company's former CEO and former COO, and $4.6 million of severance and stock-based compensation expense incurred in connection with the sale of Sitrick, a $3.4 million gain on the sale of the Irvine office building during fiscal 2025 with no comparable activity occurring during fiscal 2026, a $3.4 million increase in restructuring charges primarily related to an additional RIF in fiscal 2026, and a $2.4 million
loss on the sale of Sitrick. These increases were largely offset by a $9.5 million decrease in employee compensation and benefits costs following the reduction in force in fiscal 2025 and most recently in connection with the October RIF and the January RIF, a $5.5 million decrease in technology transformation costs primarily associated with the completion of our North America technology implementation during fiscal 2025, a $3.3 million decrease in costs associated with the internal use of consultants that supported various internal business initiatives, a $1.8 million decrease in travel related expenses, a $1.6 million decrease in occupancy expenses, a $1.0 million decrease in acquisition costs a $0.9 million decrease in variable employee compensation as a result of financial performance, a $0.9 million decrease in professional services fees, and a $0.8 million decrease related to other general and administrative costs due to our efforts to achieve an improved cost structure.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.5 million (effective tax rate of 6.4%) for the year ended May 30, 2026 compared to income tax benefit of $4.3 million (effective tax rate of 2.2%) for the year ended May 31, 2025. The income tax expense in fiscal 2026 was primarily attributable to income tax expense from profitable foreign jurisdictions, while losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions did not result in a tax benefit due to the existence of valuation allowances. The income tax benefit in fiscal 2025 was primarily attributed to the Company’s consolidated pretax loss, reduced by the permanent disallowance of a portion of the goodwill impairment for tax purposes and the establishment of a valuation allowance on the Company's domestic and United Kingdom net deferred tax assets.

On-Demand Talent – Revenue in the On-Demand Talent segment was $40.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $53.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, reflecting a decrease of 23.7% (or 18.0% on a same day constant currency basis). Billable hours decreased 24.6%, partially offset by an increase in the average bill rate of 1.3% (or 1.0% on a constant currency basis). The Company continued to experience reduced demand in traditional finance roles as clients increasingly adopt AI and automation although the market for on-demand resourcing has shown signs of stabilization in the fourth quarter. Additionally, revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 reflected 13 weeks of billable activity, compared to 14 weeks in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The Company remains focused on evolving the skillset of on-demand talent base to align with changing market demand.

The decline was primarily due to an 11.5% decrease in billable hours, partially affected by one less fiscal week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in billable hours was also impacted by delays in project starts as clients continued to assess and align their internal priorities and processes. The average bill rate decreased 10.0% primarily reflecting a geographical revenue shift toward Asia Pacific, which tends to have a lower bill rate compared to Europe.

The decline was primarily due to a 31.0% decrease in billable hours, partially offset by a 5.7% (or 5.4% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate. The decline in billable hours reflected slower sale execution during the fiscal year coupled with longer sales cycles for consulting projects, while average bill rates continue to increase due to pricing discipline and higher value consulting projects.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess our financial and operating performance that are not defined by or calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to assess our financial and operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that (i) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Consolidated Statements of Operations; or (ii) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the comparable GAAP measure so calculated and presented. The following non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release:
•Same-day constant currency revenue is adjusted for the following items:
oCurrency impact. In order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company calculates same-day constant currency revenue, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as those in effect in the comparable prior period.
oBusiness days impact. In order to remove the fluctuations caused by comparable periods having a different number of business days, the Company calculates same-day revenue as current period revenue (adjusted for currency impact) divided by the number of business days in the current period, multiplied by the number of business days in the comparable prior period. The number of business days in each respective period is provided in the “Number of Business Days” section of the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below.
•EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before amortization expense, depreciation expense, interest and income taxes.
•Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortized Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system costs, technology transformation costs, goodwill impairment, acquisition costs, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, executive transition costs, Sitrick transition costs, and other items management believes are not representative of the Company's core operations. We also present herein Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level as a measure used to assess the performance of our segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain shared corporate administrative costs that are not practical to allocate.
•Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue.
•Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated as diluted earnings (loss) per common share, excluding the per share impact of stock-based compensation expense, technology transformation costs, acquisition costs, goodwill impairment, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, CEO transition costs, and adjusted for the related tax effects of these adjustments.
•Adjusted SG&A expense is calculated as SG&A expenses excluding stock-based compensation, amortized ERP system costs, technology transformation costs, acquisition costs, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, CEO transition costs, and other items management believes are not representative of the Company's core operations.
We believe the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures, which are used by management to assess the core performance of our Company, provide useful information and additional clarity of our operating results to our investors in their own evaluation of the core performance of our Company and facilitate a comparison of such performance from period to period. These are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for revenue, net income or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP for purposes of analyzing our revenue, profitability or liquidity. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenue, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently.

(1) The percentage of revenue may not foot due to rounding.
(2) Unallocated items are generally comprised of unallocated corporate administrative costs, including management and board compensation, corporate support function costs and other general corporate costs that are not allocated to segments.
(3) Amortized ERP system costs represent the amortization of capitalized technology transformation costs related to a newly implemented ERP system, which was recorded within SG&A expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(4) Technology transformation costs represent costs included in net loss related to the Company’s initiative to upgrade its technology platform globally, including a cloud-based ERP system and talent acquisition and management systems. Such costs primarily include hosting and certain other software licensing costs, third-party consulting fees and costs associated with dedicated internal resources that are not capitalized.
(5) Acquisition costs primarily represent costs included in net loss related to the Company’s business acquisition of Reference Point. These costs include transaction bonuses, cash retention bonus accruals, and fees paid to the Company's broker, legal counsel, and other professional services firms.
(6) Goodwill impairment charges recognized during the year ended May 31, 2025 were related to the On-Demand Talent, Consulting and Europe & Asia Pacific segments.
(7) Gain on sale of assets was related to the Company’s sale of its Irvine office building, which was completed on August 15, 2024.
(8) Restructuring costs during the three and twelve months ended May 30, 2026 include employee termination costs incurred in the reductions in force, impairment of right-of-use asset, and non-recurring third-party consulting costs associated with the Company's transformation initiative to redesign and streamline our operating model to achieve a reduced cost structure during fiscal 2026. Restructuring costs during the three and twelve months ended May 31, 2025 related to the Company's global cost reduction plan, including a reduction in force authorized in each of December 2024 and May 2025.
(9) Executive transition costs for the three months ended May 30, 2026 represent non-recurring costs incurred in connection with the separation of the Company's former COO. These costs include $1.7 million of cash severance and $1.5 million of non-cash stock compensation expense reflecting the acceleration of equity awards pursuant to ASC 718. Costs for the twelve months ended May 30, 2026 represent non-recurring costs incurred in connection with the separation of both the Company's former CEO and former COO. These costs include $7.6 million of cash severance and $4.6 million of non-cash stock compensation expense reflecting the acceleration of equity awards pursuant to ASC 718.
(10) Sitrick transaction related costs represent $4.1 million of severance expense incurred in connection with the sale of Sitrick, $2.4 million of loss on the sale of Sitrick, consisting of a $1.5 million non-cash impairment on right-of-use assets and a $0.9 million loss, and $0.6 million of non-cash stock compensation expense reflecting the acceleration of equity awards.
(11) The tax effect of each adjustment is determined based on the tax laws and valuation allowance status of the jurisdiction to which the adjustment relates. An adjusted effective income tax rate has been determined for each period presented by applying the statutory income tax rate, net of adjustments for valuation allowances, where applicable, which was used to compute Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented. For the three and twelve months ended May 30, 2026, due to the existence of tax valuation allowances, the tax impact of the pre-tax adjustments is immaterial. For the three and twelve months ended May 31, 2025, the tax impact of the pre-tax adjustments was primarily due to goodwill impairment charges, with no valuation allowance to offset the tax effects of the adjustment.
(12) Adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per common share is based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 34,555,848 and 32,875,061 for the three months ended May 30, 2026 and May 31, 2025, respectively and 33,851,701 and 33,063,317 for the twelve months ended May 30, 2026 and May 31, 2025, respectively.
