OLD GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hudson Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSON) ("Hudson Global" or "the Company"), a leading global total talent solutions company, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

2023 Second Quarter Summary

  • Revenue of $44.9 million decreased 20.8% from the second quarter of 2022 and 17.7% in constant currency.
  • Adjusted net revenue of $22.6 million decreased 17.2% from the second quarter of 2022 and 15.4% in constant currency.
  • Net income was $0.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.1 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP measure)* was $0.36 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $1.25 in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measure)* was $2.6 million, a decrease versus adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2022.

  • Total cash including restricted cash was $23.0 million at June 30, 2023.

"In the second quarter of 2023, lower hiring activity, particularly in the technology sector, led to declines in revenue, adjusted net revenue, and adjusted EBITDA versus the prior year quarter," said Jeff Eberwein, Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Global. "Activity in other sectors remained in line with expectations, and we continued to win new business in the second quarter of 2023. Although the timing of a recovery in the technology sector is difficult to predict, we are confident in our ability to manage the business in this environment and remain well positioned to respond to the needs of our clients going forward."

* The Company provides non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Constant currency, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted net income or loss per diluted share 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.

HUDSON GLOBAL, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF CONSTANT CURRENCY MEASURES
(in thousands) (unaudited)

The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of its revenue 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 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, adjusted net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), other non-operating income (expense), operating income (loss) and EBITDA (loss) include the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 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.
