BGSF 2025 Q3 Earnings Widens Losses as Net Income Falls 622.9%

BGSF (BGSF) reported a significant deterioration in its Q3 2025 performance, missing expectations with a net loss of $5.81 million (-$0.52 EPS), a 622.9% increase from the $804K (-$0.07 EPS) loss in the prior-year period. Despite a 14.4% sequential revenue rebound to $26.9 million, the year-over-year revenue decline of 9.8% underscored ongoing challenges. Management highlighted a $5 million stock buyback program and cost-cutting initiatives as part of its strategy to stabilize operations post-Professional division sale.

Revenue

The company’s total revenue for Q3 2025 fell to $26.89 million, a 9.8% decline from $29.82 million in Q3 2024. This followed a 14.4% sequential increase from Q2 2025’s $23.5 million, attributed to seasonal demand and improved billed hours.

Earnings/Net Income

BGSF’s net loss widened sharply to $5.81 million (-$0.52 EPS) in Q3 2025, a 622.9% increase from the $804K (-$0.07 EPS) loss in Q3 2024. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $1.0 million (3.6% margin), reversing Q2’s $4.9 million loss, but the company remains unprofitable on a GAAP basis. The EPS performance reflects persistent operational challenges despite sequential improvements.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review

The strategy of buying BGSF shares after its revenue increase quarter-over-quarter on the financial report date and holding for 30 days yielded a 20.5% return over three years, demonstrating resilience amid volatility. Quarterly returns were consistently positive except for a brief dip in Q2 Year 2, while cumulative returns peaked at 50% in Q3 Year 3. The strategy exhibited higher market sensitivity (beta of 1.2) but balanced risk with a Sharpe ratio of 0.18.

CEO Commentary

Interim Co-CEOs Keith Schroeder and Kelly Brown attributed the Q3 14.4% sequential revenue growth to seasonal demand and the $5 million buyback as a capital allocation strategy. Schroeder emphasized cost reductions and the $2 special dividend, while Brown outlined AI-driven efficiency gains and market expansion plans. Both executives expressed cautious optimism about 2026 growth through streamlined operations and strategic investments.

Guidance

BGSF anticipates 2026 revenue growth driven by AI adoption, cost reductions, and operational streamlining. Leadership reiterated confidence in executing these initiatives despite short-term volatility from post-transaction transition impacts. No specific financial targets were provided, but non-GAAP metrics like Adjusted EBITDA are expected to improve.

BGSF announced a $5 million stock buyback program, its largest capital return initiative since the $2-per-share special dividend in September.
