NEW YORK, July 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hudson Global, Inc. (Nasdaq:HSON), a leading global talent solutions company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
2016 Second Quarter Summary
- On a reported basis, revenue of $113.1 million declined 7.9 percent from the second quarter of 2015 or 4.2 percent in constant currency. On a retained* basis, revenue declined 0.3 percent but increased 4.1 percent in constant currency.
- On a reported basis, gross margin of $46.8 million declined 6.7 percent from the second quarter of 2015 or 4.0 percent in constant currency. On a retained* basis, gross margin declined 2.4 percent but increased 0.7 percent in constant currency.
- Net loss** of $3.1 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $13.9 million, or $0.41 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015.
- Adjusted EBITDA*** loss of $0.7 million, including $2.5 million of compensation and legal fees related to an arbitration with the company's former chairman and chief executive officer, compared with adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA in second quarter 2016 would have been positive excluding the arbitration expense.
"We are encouraged by the continued gross margin growth in many of our markets, including Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, France and Spain," said Stephen Nolan, chief executive officer at Hudson. "Amidst variable economic conditions around the globe, demand was strong for our services in Temporary Recruitment and Talent Management in particular, with continuing gross margin growth in RPO."
* See reconciliation for retained revenue and gross margin tables at the end of this release.
** Includes continuing and discontinued operations.
*** Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are defined in the segment tables at the end of this release.
Strategic Actions
The company's strategic actions are focused on supporting its three core businesses -- Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Talent Management and Recruitment -- and delivering consistent, sustainable growth and profitability. To this end, we are investing in recruitment businesses and practices that present the greatest potential for profitable growth. In addition, we are facilitating growth and development of the global RPO business. Finally, we are building and differentiating our brand through our unique talent solutions offerings.
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. The company purchased 582,510 shares for $1.4 million as part of the repurchase program during the second quarter. Since the inception of this program in the third quarter of 2015 through the end of the second quarter of 2016, the company has purchased 1,476,257 shares for $3.7 million.
Dividend Program
During the second quarter, the company paid its second quarterly cash dividend of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per share, on June 24, 2016.
Regional Highlights
Americas
In the second quarter, Hudson Americas' gross margin decreased 37 percent on a reported basis compared with the second quarter of 2015 and decreased 8 percent on a retained* basis in constant currency. RPO gross margin declined in the second quarter due primarily to a project completion in 2015, after delivering 18 percent growth in the first quarter of 2016. EBITDA was a loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter, compared with a gain of $15.4 million a year ago, principally due to the company's divestiture of the US IT business in June 2015. The region delivered adjusted EBITDA loss of $45 thousand for the second quarter, compared with a loss of $0.2 million a year ago, as the region benefitted from lower SG&A expenses.
Asia Pacific
Hudson Asia Pacific's gross margin decreased 2 percent in constant currency on a reported basis in the second quarter of 2016 from the same period in 2015. Gross margin growth in Australia/New Zealand of 13 percent was more than offset by a 26 percent decline in Asia, driven by softer conditions in China, compared with the second quarter of 2015. RPO delivered gross margin growth of 10 percent, driven primarily by Australia, up 26 percent from new business and higher volume at existing clients. EBITDA was $0.6 million in the second quarter, compared with a loss of $0.6 million a year ago. Asia Pacific delivered an adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million, or 2.0 percent of revenue, down from adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million, or 3.5 percent of revenue, in the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA in Australia/New Zealand increased by $0.8 million against prior year due to the growth in RPO and recruitment, offset by declines in Asia.
Europe
Hudson Europe's gross margin increased 2 percent in constant currency on a reported basis from the second quarter of 2015, and 5 percent on a retained* basis. Growth was driven by Continental Europe, with gross margin higher by 12 percent reported and 19 percent retained* in constant currency, with double-digit growth in Belgium, France and Spain. In the U.K., 15 percent gross margin growth in RPO was offset by a 15 percent decline in recruitment. EBITDA was $1.6 million in the second quarter, compared with $3.4 million a year ago, the difference principally due to the company's divestiture of its Netherlands business in April 2015. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.3 million, or 4.9 percent of revenue, in the second quarter of 2016, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 million, or 2.1 percent of revenue a year ago.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The company ended the second quarter of 2016 with $44.8 million in liquidity, composed of $24.9 million in cash and $19.8 million in availability under its credit facilities. This compares with $31.9 million in cash and $18.3 million in availability under its credit facilities at the end of the first quarter of 2016. The company used $4.3 million in cash flow from operations during the second quarter, including $3.4 million of compensation, benefits and legal fees related to an arbitration with the company's former chairman and chief executive officer. This compares with $4.6 million use of cash in the second quarter of 2015. The company had $7.2 million in outstanding borrowings at the end of the second quarter of 2016, all in Australia.
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.
Given current economic conditions and summer holidays in Europe, the company expects third quarter 2016 revenue of between $105 million and $115 million and adjusted EBITDA of between negative $0.5 million and positive $1.0 million at prevailing exchange rates. In the third quarter of 2015, revenue was $110.0 million and adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $0.2 million. This outlook assumes an average exchange rate of 1.32 US Dollars to the British Pound, 1.10 US Dollars to the Euro and 0.74 US Dollars to the Australian Dollar.

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.

(1) Retained revenue and gross margin and divested revenue and gross margin are non-GAAP terms that management believes provide a better understanding of the underlying revenue and gross margin trends in the business following the divestitures in the second quarter of 2015. Divested revenue and gross margin includes such items attributable to the following businesses: the Americas IT staffing business, the Netherlands business, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Luxembourg. The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, Hudson’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The above table provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure used in its financial reporting to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
