SPAR Group (NASDAQ: SGRP) swings to Q1 2026 loss as revenue falls 10%
SPAR Group, Inc. reported weaker results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as net revenues fell to $30.5 million from $34.0 million, a 10.3% decline driven mainly by softer U.S. remodel activity. Despite slightly higher gross margin, higher selling, general and administrative costs and $0.2 million of restructuring and severance led to an operating loss.
The Company swung to a net loss of $0.6 million, or $(0.02) per share, compared with net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share, a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $0.7 million from $1.5 million, reflecting lower volume and higher overhead.
SPAR increased its use of financing, with lines of credit rising to $22.9 million and total unsecured debt to $5.0 million, including a new $4.0 million unsecured loan from PC Group that came with 1,000,000 common shares as equity consideration. Management believes existing credit facilities and cash flows can support near-term needs, but disclosure controls and procedures were deemed not effective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

Insights
Revenue contracted and earnings turned negative while leverage increased.
SPAR Group saw net revenues decline 10.3% to $30.5 million, with a shift from $0.5 million profit to a $0.6 million net loss. Adjusted EBITDA roughly halved to $0.7 million, indicating softer underlying operating performance.
To support liquidity, the company drew more on its North Mill facility, lifting lines of credit to $22.9 million, and added a new $4.0 million unsecured PC Group loan, of which $3.0 million was outstanding. This structure includes 1,000,000 equity shares and a contingent cash-settlement feature.
Equity is very thin at $0.1 million while a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets remains. Management states it is in covenant compliance and expects credit lines plus operations to cover the next 12 months, but the continued material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting introduce additional execution and reporting risk.

| 1. |
Nature of the Business |
SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP" or the "Corporation"), and its subsidiaries (and SGRP together with its subsidiaries may be referred to as ("SPAR Group", the "Company", "SPAR", "We", or "Our") is a global merchandising and brand marketing services company, providing a broad range of services to retailers, consumer goods manufacturers and distributors around the world.
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026, the ("2025 Annual Report"). Certain Items in the 2025 Annual Report cross-reference and incorporate by reference indicated parts of the Corporation's Proxy Statement on Schedule DEF 14A for its 2026 Annual Stockholders Meeting the ("2026 Proxy Statement"), which was filed with the SEC on April 30, 2026.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the included disclosures are adequate, and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2026, consolidated results of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the amounts disclosed for contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant balances subject to such estimates and assumptions include carrying amounts of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowances for receivables, carrying amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities incurred from operations and customer incentives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
Reportable segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM”) in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO").
In November 2025, the Company appointed a new CEO, William Linnane. During the fourth quarter of 2025, revised internal reporting began to be provided to and reviewed by the CODM. The Company provides similar merchandising, marketing, and business services in the United States of America ("U.S.") and Canada, and the CODM now reviews financial information by two geographic components: (i) U.S. and (ii) Canada, for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company determined that it has two reportable segments: U.S. and Canada. For the first three quarters of 2025, the previous CODM managed all business activities on a consolidated basis, and as a result, the Company had one reportable segment. Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 has been recast to reflect this reportable segment structure.
Deferred Taxes
The Company records deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. Management evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets at each reporting date, considering all available positive and negative evidence, both objective and subjective. In performing this assessment, the Company considers, among other factors:
| ● | Historical operating results and cumulative pre-tax income or loss; |
| ● | The expected timing, amount, and character of future taxable income; |
| ● | The reversal pattern of existing taxable and deductible temporary differences; |
| ● | Tax-planning strategies that may be implemented, if any; and |
| ● | The duration of and limitations on carryforward periods for net operating losses and other attributes. |
Based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires companies to report specific categories of rate reconciliation, certain details of income taxes paid and certain information by tax jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company implemented this ASU prospectively for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (PBEs). The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for all PBEs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The US GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| ● Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
| ● Level 2 | Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
| ● Level 3 | Prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
If the inputs used to measure the fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the fair value is determined based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Whenever possible, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, the Company uses independent sources and data to determine fair value.
The fair value of the Company's lines of credit approximate the carrying value reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of the long-term portion of the Resource Plus Seller Notes is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. Under this approach, the expected future cash flows of the notes are discounted to their present value using a discount rate derived from observable market data, such as current interest rates or yield curves for similar instruments. This valuation technique utilizes inputs classified as Level 2 under the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the long-term portion of the Resource Plus Seller Notes approximates its fair value, as it represents the present value of the notes’ future cash flows.
The fair value of the long-term portion of the PC Group Unsecured Loan is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. Under this approach, the expected future cash flows of the notes are discounted to their present value using a discount rate derived from observable market data, such as current interest rates or yield curves for similar instruments. This valuation technique utilizes inputs classified as Level 2 under the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the long-term portion of the Unsecured Loan approximates its fair value, as it represents the present value of the notes’ future cash flows. The Company measures certain financial liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including the contingent cash settlement feature associated with the Unsecured Loan. The fair value of this liability is determined using a valuation model that incorporates significant unobservable inputs, including expected future stock price performance, volatility assumptions, and probability-weighted settlement scenarios. As such, this liability, which was determined to be effective as of April 2026, based on the issuance of common shares, is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of this liability will be recognized in earnings in the period in which they occur.

North Mill Capital Credit Facility
The Company, through SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. ("SMF") and SPAR Canada Company ULC ("SCC", and collectively with SMF, the “NM Borrowers”), has a secured revolving credit facility in the United States (the "US Revolving Credit Facility") and Canada (the "Canada Revolving Credit Facility", and collectively with the US Revolving Credit Facility, the "NM Credit Facility") with North Mill Capital, LLC, d/b/a SLR Business Credit ("NM").
In order to obtain, document and govern the NM Credit Facility, SMF, SCC, SGRP and certain of SGRP's direct and indirect subsidiaries in the United States and Canada (including SMF and SCC as borrowers and SGRP as a guarantor, collectively, the "NM Loan Parties") entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with NM dated as of April 10, 2019, which, as amended from time to time (as amended, the "NM Loan Agreement"), governs the NM Credit Facility. Pursuant to the NM Loan Agreement, the NM Borrowers agreed to reimburse NM for legal and documentation fees incurred in connection with the NM Loan Agreement and such amendments.
On March 27, 2024, the NM Loan Parties and NM executed and delivered a Seventh Modification Agreement, effective immediately (the "Seventh Modification Agreement"), pursuant to which the NM Loan Parties and NM agreed to extend the NM Credit Facility from October 10, 2024 to October 10, 2025.
On October 9, 2025, the NM Loan Parties and NM executed and delivered an Eighth Modification Agreement, effective immediately (the "Eight Modification Agreement"), pursuant to which the NM Loan Parties and NM agreed to and extend the NM Credit Facility from October 9, 2025 to October 10, 2027, to increase the amount of the US Revolving Credit Facility to $

The NM Credit Facility contains certain financial and other restrictive covenants and also limits certain expenditures by the NM Loan Parties, including maintaining a positive trailing EBITDA for each of the NM Borrowers and imposes limits on all of the NM Loan Parties on non-ordinary course payments and transactions, incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness, capital expenditures and certain other investments. The NM Loan Parties were in compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2026. The obligations of the NM Borrowers are secured by the receivables and other assets of the NM Borrowers and substantially all of the assets of the other NM Loan Parties.

Phantom Stock Awards
The Corporation from time to time has awarded to its executives deferred compensation in the form of Phantom Stock Units ("PSUs"), which correspond to an equal number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock ("SGRP Shares"). The number of PSUs received equals the dollar value of the incentive award divided by the per share market price of SGRP shares on the date of award. Each PSU represents the right of the grantee to receive cash payments based on the fair market value of SGRP Shares at the time of vesting, but not to receive SGRP Shares themselves. The number of the Grantee's PSUs will be automatically adjusted to reflect the specified events respecting the SGRP Shares as provided in the applicable Phantom Stock Agreement. The PSUs do not possess the rights of common stockholders of the Corporation, including any voting or dividend rights, and cannot be exercised or traded for SGRP Shares. Due to the cash settlement feature, the PSUs are classified as liabilities in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized compensation expense of $

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of our operating performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). "EBITDA" is defined as net income before (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, net, and (iii) income tax expense. "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net (loss) income before (i) depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, (ii) interest expense (iii) income tax expense, (iv) restructuring expenses, (v) impairment, (vi) nonrecurring legal settlement costs and associated legal expenses unrelated to the Company's core operations, (vii) special items as determined by management, and (viii) review of strategic alternatives, which includes primarily legal, consulting, and investment bank fees. This metric is a supplemental measure of our operating performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in future periods, and any such modification may be material. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.
Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance compared to other measures, which can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. We also use Adjusted EBITDA to supplement U.S. GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies and to make budgeting decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditure or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in our cash requirements for our working capital needs; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense and the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for replacement of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-cash compensation, which is a key element of our overall long-term compensation; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges or cash receipts resulting from matters we do not find indicative of our ongoing operations; and |
| ● |
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. |

Net Revenues
Net revenues for three months ended March 31, 2026 were $30.5 million, compared to $34.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 10.3%. Net revenues decreased during the quarter primarily due to lower volume in the remodel business.
U.S. net revenues totaled $27.2 million and $30.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $3.4 million or 11.7% is driven by a soft quarter in our remodel business.
Canada net revenues totaled $3.3 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Cost of Revenues
The Company's cost of revenues consists of its in-store labor and field management wages, related benefits, travel and other direct labor-related expenses and was 77.7% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 78.6% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $23.7 million, compared to $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is in line with the reduction of revenue and driven by the mix of services in the U.S.
U.S. cost of revenues totaled $21.3 million and $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $3.2 million is in line with the reduction of revenue and driven by the mix of services in the U.S.
Canada cost of revenues totaled $2.4 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") of the Company include its corporate overhead, project management, information technology, executive compensation, human resources, legal and accounting expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $6.2 million, or 20.3% of net revenue, and approximately $5.9 million, or 17.2% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher expenses related to legal and accounting services as a result of timing, subscription expenses related to the enterprise resource planning system that went live in early 2025 and increased consulting fees.
U.S. SG&A expenses totaled $5.7 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Canada SG&A expenses totaled $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Restructuring Costs and Severance
Restructuring costs and severance include severance costs paid in connection with the reorganization of the Company's executive team and expenses related to the move of the Company's headquarters to Charlotte, NC. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 the Company recognized expense of $0.2 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, depreciation and amortization was approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, interest expense was approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Other Income, Net
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, other income, net was immaterial.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 income tax expense was $28 thousand with an effective rate of (5.3%), compared to expense of $114 thousand with an effective rate of 19.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The first quarter 2026 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 21% mostly due to permanent differences and a recording of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and related notes thereto. However, we believe we have used reasonable estimates and assumptions in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Although we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.
The significant accounting policies and estimates used in preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Critical Accounting Estimates section of the MD&A in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Funding Requirements
Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to risks detailed in the section titled "Risk Factors" included elsewhere in our 2025 Annual Report. The Company believes that based upon the continuation of the Company's existing credit facilities (for which the Company closed on a two year extension from its lender in October 2025), projected results of operations, vendor payment requirements and other financing available to the Company (including amounts due to affiliates), sources of cash availability should be manageable and sufficient to support ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements over the next 12 months. However, delays in collection of receivables due from any of the Company's major clients, a significant reduction in business from such clients, or a negative economic downturn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, cash resources, and ongoing ability to fund operations.
The Company is a party to various domestic and international credit facilities. These various domestic and international credit facilities require compliance with their respective financial covenants. See Note 3 to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Cash Flows for the For the Three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.9 million compared to $4.0 million used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The immaterial change was primarily due to the decrease in accounts receivable which correlates to the decrease in revenue period over period, offset by the decrease in accounts payable.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.5 million compared to $0.5 million used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $5.5 million compared to $4.3 million provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This was primarily due to proceeds from the PC Group unsecured note during the three months ended March 31, 2026, offset by changes in the net borrowings under the line of credit.
Reflecting the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on the activity above resulted in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 of approximately $(48) thousand and $0 thousand, respectively.

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as our principal financial and accounting officer, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, based on their evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, described below.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
