Analysis of Financial Results
As a result of the Company's numerous acquisitions and strong organic growth, revenues increased to $47.8 million in the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2016, compared to $35.9 million for the same period in 2015. Gross profit increased to over $8.5 million, compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2015. This represents gross margin of 17.8% compared to 17.6% respectively.
The Company's net loss for the quarter ended August 31, 2016 was $1.3 million, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the same period in 2015. The net loss was attributable primarily to non-cash accounting charges, as well as professional, legal, capital raising and other non-recurring expenses.
"This has been a significant quarter for Staffing 360 Solutions," stated David Faiman, Chief Financial Officer. "We achieved operating profit for the first time in our history, we are realizing economies of scale, and we are continuing to improve our balance sheet. In Q1 2017, our working capital deficiency improved by approximately $500,000 and stockholder's equity increased from $7.5 million to $8.2 million in the current quarter. We have also improved debt levels with the equity we have raised through our S-3 registration statement. We now have $5.3 million of trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA compared to $9.7 million of net debt, resulting in a 1.9x leverage ratio."
Other Highlights of the Fiscal First Quarter and Subsequent Events
- Announced a new office location in Concord, North Carolina. This new location represents the Company's third office in North Carolina since expanding into the state three years ago and is beginning to contribute to overall sales now that the space is fully staffed and operational.
- Opened the Nasdaq market on August 15, 2016. As a Nasdaq-listed company, Staffing 360's ability to communicate its progress with a broader audience is expected to increase, especially as trading volume continues to rise to all-time new levels;
- Raised $5.3 million in equity through the August quarter, utilizing the Company's S-3 registration statement, which became effective in March 2016. The Company believes this represents a major step toward achieving its larger initiatives as it continues to grow the business while paying down and reducing debt.
"Staffing 360 Solutions continues to grow at a record pace," said Matt Briand, President and CEO. "Both our M&A activity, as well as our strong operational improvements from our business units have driven our results higher. Although expanding over 30% overall is impressive, delivering 14% organic growth year over year is a significant achievement. We have boosted growth by winning several new annual contracts in the consumer goods, education and beverage industries, which are expected to show more impact over the coming quarters."

The Company uses financial measures which are not calculated and presented in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in evaluating its financial and operational decision making regarding potential acquisitions, as well as a means to evaluate period-to period comparison.
