Hudson Global Reports 2019 First Quarter Results
OLD GREENWICH, CT - May 9, 2019 - Hudson Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSON), a leading global talent solutions company, announced today financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
2019 First Quarter Summary
• | Revenue of $16.2 million decreased by 0.2 percent from the same period in 2018 and increased 9.2 percent in constant currency. |
• | Gross profit of $9.4 million decreased 7.5 percent from the first quarter of 2018 and decreased 2.5 percent in constant currency. |
• | Net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $10.7 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018. The results in the first quarter of 2018 included net loss from continuing operations of $2.9 million and income from discontinued operations of $13.6 million related to the sale of the recruitment and talent management businesses. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP measure)* loss of $1.8 million compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. |
• | Reduced shares outstanding by approximately 8%. |
"The Asia Pacific region once again led with the strongest performance while results in Europe and the Americas were mixed," said Jeff Eberwein, chief executive officer at Hudson Global. Mr. Eberwein continued, "With a significant transition year in 2018 behind us, our global RPO business is now primed for growth. We have an exciting new client relationship starting in Australia in Q2 and several other new client wins ramping up in all three regions as the year unfolds. We reaffirm our 2019 guidance for revenue and gross profit growth to exceed 10% versus 2018 and for Adjusted EBITDA to grow faster than this rate."
* 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.
Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific's revenue of $8.7 million increased 13 percent while gross profit of $4.6 million increased 3 percent in constant currency in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Growth was driven by new client wins as well as higher volumes at existing clients, with the strongest growth coming from Asia. EBITDA loss was $0.0 million in the first quarter compared to EBITDA of $0.5 million a year ago. Asia Pacific delivered adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2018.
Americas
In the first quarter of 2019, Americas' revenue of $3.1 million decreased 15 percent while gross profit of $2.8 million decreased 12 percent compared to the first quarter of 2018. Weaker volumes in the media and life sciences sectors were partially offset by growth in financial services. EBITDA loss was $0.4 million in the first quarter compared to EBITDA of $0.3 million a year ago. The region delivered adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.3 million for the first quarter compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.4 million a year ago.
Europe
Europe's revenue of $4.4 million increased 27 percent while gross profit of $2.0 million was flat on a constant currency basis in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. The UK and Continental Europe both contributed to the revenue growth, increasing by $0.8 million or 26 percent and $0.1 million or 31 percent, respectively. EBITDA loss was $0.3 million in the first quarter compared to EBITDA of $0.0 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million a year ago.
2
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company ended the first quarter of 2019 with $30.8 million in cash, which includes $0.6 million in restricted cash. In April, we finalized a new credit facility with NAB in Australia to support the expected growth in working capital needs in that market. The Company used $6.2 million in cash flow from operations during the first quarter of 2019. The use of cash was primarily driven by the seasonal increase in trade receivables as well as the payment of annual bonuses.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company has a common stock share repurchase authorization in place of $10.0 million. Since the inception of this program in the third quarter of 2015 through the end of the first quarter of 2019, the Company has purchased 3.9 million shares for a total cost of $7.7 million. The Company continues to view share repurchases as an attractive use of capital.
In addition, as previously announced, the company completed a tender offer in March for 2.5 million shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate cost of $3.7 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the tender offer.
Corporate Costs
Immediately following the closing of the divestitures at the end of the first quarter of 2018, management reviewed the company's corporate costs on a line-by-line basis. The company believes the run rate for corporate costs in 2019 should be approximately $4 million, excluding non-recurring items. This is about 50% lower than in 2018 including severance costs, or about one-third lower excluding severance costs. This reduction has come without any impact on its operating business.
Corporate costs in the first quarter of 2019 were higher than expected due to one-time expenses related to audit and legal matters.
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.
For 2019, the company continues to expect to grow revenue and gross profit more than 10 percent versus 2018, and adjusted EBITDA before corporate costs should grow faster than this rate. This combination of growth in its RPO business and reduction in corporate costs should enable the company to generate positive adjusted EBITDA in 2019.

HUDSON GLOBAL, INC.
RECONCILIATION FOR CONSTANT CURRENCY
(in thousands) (unaudited)
The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of its gross profit 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 profit, selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), 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.
