Beth A. Garvey, Chair, President and CEO, said, “I am pleased to report that momentum from the first half of 2022 continued into our fiscal third quarter, which resulted in record high revenue and gross profit from continuing operations. We believe our continued strong performance is supported by BGSF’s unique business model that empowers people and creates long-term relationships, both with clients and our workforce. We are strategically focused on solving business challenges for our clients, while building a higher margin business, growing market share and gaining further traction as we close out this year and move into ‘23.
"Our continued strong operating results support the Board’s declaration of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share which is our 32nd consecutive quarterly cash dividend.” Garvey continues.
“We are enthusiastic about planned growth initiatives and prospects as we approach 2023. We see strong tailwinds in both segments as we work to build leadership positions in both the Professional and Real Estate segments. Our teams are energized around our vision and strategic direction, and this alignment has contributed to more creative solutions for our clients. The business will continue to be driven by strength in our people, technology, reputation, business model, and client partnerships as we continue our journey as a best-in-class workforce solutions company,” Garvey concluded.

BGSF, Inc.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial results of BGSF, Inc. are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. To help the readers understand the Company's financial performance, the Company supplements its GAAP financial results with Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS.
A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of a company. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income per diluted share, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or measures of our liquidity. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are useful performance measures and are used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. In addition, the financial covenants in our credit agreement are based on EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement.
We define “Adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction fees and certain non-cash expenses such as contingent consideration gains and share-based compensation expense, as well as certain specific events that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance.
