Hudson Global Reports 2018 Second Quarter Results


NEW YORK, NY - August 2, 2018 - Hudson Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSON), a leading global talent solutions company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

2018 Second Quarter Summary

Revenue of $17.0 million increased 17.2 percent from the second quarter of 2017 and increased 14.7 percent in constant currency.

Gross margin of $10.8 million increased 0.9 percent from the second quarter of 2017 but decreased 1.2 percent in constant currency.

Net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017. The results in the second quarter of 2017 included net loss from continuing operations of $0.7 million and net income from discontinued operations of $1.9 million related to the sale of the recruitment and talent management businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP measure)* loss of $1.1 million, including $0.6 million of severance expense following the recent divestitures, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2017.


“Revenue growth in the second quarter was again driven by strong growth in Asia Pacific, while revenue was impacted by the loss of a global contract in 2017 in the Americas and Europe. We continue to review and reduce our cost structure following the recruitment divestitures earlier this year so we can invest in and grow our recruitment process outsourcing (“RPO”) business,” said Jeff Eberwein, chief executive officer at Hudson Global. “I have strong confidence in the positive outlook for our RPO business after spending more time with our clients and our talented team around the globe since assuming the CEO role at Hudson.”

* The Company provides Non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are defined in the segment tables at the end of this release and a reconciliation of such Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included within such segment tables.

1



Regional Highlights

The divested businesses are treated as discontinued operations, therefore the discussion below is focused on the continuing operations of the RPO business for all periods presented. Prior period EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable due to regional support and infrastructure cost allocation treatment between continuing and discontinued operations following the divestitures.

Americas

In the second quarter of 2018, Hudson Global Americas' revenue of $3.5 million decreased 16 percent while gross margin of $2.9 million decreased 22 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017. Growth in financial service and life sciences was offset by lower volumes elsewhere including the conclusion of a large global contract in the third quarter of 2017. EBITDA loss was $0.1 million in the second quarter, compared with EBITDA of $0.3 million a year ago. The region delivered adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million for the second quarter, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $0.4 million a year ago.

Asia Pacific

Hudson Global Asia Pacific's revenue of $9.6 million increased 39 percent while gross margin of $5.8 million increased 20 percent in constant currency in the second quarter of 2018 compared with the same period in 2017. Growth was driven by a new client win in the fourth quarter of 2017 and higher volumes at existing clients. EBITDA was $0.5 million in the second quarter, compared with EBITDA of $1.1 million a year ago. Asia Pacific delivered adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2017.
    
Europe

Hudson Global Europe's revenue of $3.9 million increased 4 percent while gross margin of $2.1 million decreased 11 percent in constant currency in the second quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2017. Gross margin growth in the U.K. of 25 percent was offset by declines in Continental Europe, due to a large global contract that ended in the third quarter of 2017. EBITDA was $0.0 million in the second quarter, compared with $0.4 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $0.4 million a year ago.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company ended the second quarter of 2018 with $38.6 million in cash. The Company had no credit facilities in place at the end of the second quarter of 2018 following the sale of its recruitment and talent management businesses, but remains in discussions with various lenders about new credit facilities for the RPO business. The Company used $3.6 million in cash flow from operations during the second quarter, compared with a generation of $4.2 million in cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2017. The cash flow statement in the second quarter of 2017 includes the recruitment and talent management businesses sold on March 31, 2018.

Share Repurchase Program

During the second quarter, the Company continued its share repurchase program which has an authorization of up to $10 million of the Company’s common stock. Since the inception of this program in the third quarter of 2015 through the end of the second quarter of 2018, the Company has purchased 3,641,605 shares for $7.4 million.

Business Outlook

With respect to forward-looking non-GAAP measures, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the variability, complexity and low visibility of the non-cash and other items described below that we exclude from the non-GAAP outlook measures. The variability of these items is likely to have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

The Company expects RPO operations before corporate costs to deliver adjusted EBITDA of between $5.0 million to $6.0 million in 2018. We expect corporate costs of approximately $8.0 million to $8.5 million in 2018, which includes $2.4 million of severance recorded in the first half of 2018. As a result, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.0 million to $3.5 million in 2018.

Conference Call/Webcast

Hudson will conduct a conference call today at 10:00 a.m. ET to discuss this announcement. Individuals wishing to listen can access the webcast on the investor information section of the Company's web site at Hudson.com.

The archived call will be available on the investor information section of the Company's web site at Hudson.com.

Non-GAAP earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and non-GAAP earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-operating income, goodwill and other impairment charges, business reorganization expenses, stock-based compensation expense and other expenses (“Adjusted EBITDA”) are presented to provide additional information about the Company's operations on a basis consistent with the measures which the company uses to manage its operations and evaluate its performance. Management also uses these measurements to evaluate capital needs and working capital requirements. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities, and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity. Furthermore, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as presented above may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

HUDSON GLOBAL, INC.
RECONCILIATION FOR CONSTANT CURRENCY
(in thousands) (unaudited)

The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of its gross margin generated outside of the United States. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect its results of operations. Constant currency information compares financial results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company currently defines the term “constant currency” to mean that financial data for a previously reported period are translated into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate financial data for the current period. Changes in revenue, gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), business reorganization expenses and other non-operating income (expense), operating income (loss) and EBITDA (loss) include the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Variance analysis usually describes period-to-period variances that are calculated using constant currency as a percentage. The Company’s management reviews and analyzes business results in constant currency and believes these results better represent the Company’s underlying business trends. The Company believes that these calculations are a useful measure, indicating the actual change in operations. There are no significant gains or losses on foreign currency transactions between subsidiaries. Therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates generally impact only reported earnings.
