Momentum Builds on Growth in Merchandising Services Business
Strategic Initiative Continues with Expanded Gross Margins
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPAR Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGRP) ("SPAR", "SPAR Group" or the "Company"), a leading global provider of merchandising, marketing, and distribution services today reported financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Mike Matacunas, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Results were in line with expectations for the third quarter with continued strength in our core merchandising business. Our U.S. merchandising business grew by 27%, Canada merchandising grew by 23%, Mexico by 28% and Brazil by 10%. We believe there is continued opportunity and a growing addressable market as brands and retailers turn to SPAR for the last product touch and driving the consumer experience.
"The great strength in our core merchandising business was offset on a consolidated basis by our Asia Pacific businesses, smaller joint ventures and the U.S. retail remodel business that is beginning to recover after a slowing earlier in the year. At the same time, we delivered higher margins for the fourth quarter in a row. Our consolidated gross margin is 150 basis points higher than the same period last year with some really strong improvements in U.S. merchandising gross margin up 290 basis points, South Africa up by 90 basis points and Brazil up 230 basis points. I am pleased with our continued progress on profitability and our ability to successfully recruit, retain and reward great talent to serve our clients. We are up 140 basis points year to date on gross margin.
"I am also pleased that our wholly owned businesses continue to outperform. You will note that our attributable Adjusted EBITDA is up 21.5% year on year for the quarter and 23.8% up for the first nine months of the year. This is a signal of the growing strength in our core and our ability to execute.
"While we focus on growth and profitability, we continue to explore strategic alternatives that will create value for our shareholders. We do not have an update today, but we remain committed to this work and unlocking the potential of this great company for years to come," concluded Matacunas.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP net income attributable to SPAR Group and related per share amounts represents net income attributable to SPAR Group adjusted for the removal of a one-time positive adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before, as applicable from time to time, (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, (iv) share based compensation expense, (v) review of strategic alternatives, (vi) nonrecurring legal settlement costs and associated legal expenses unrelated to the Company's core operations. These metrics are supplemental measures of our operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. We present Adjusted net income attributable to SPAR Group and per share amounts, and Adjusted EBITDA because management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe that securities analysts, investors and others use these measures to evaluate companies in our industry. Our calculation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. The following tables present a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to these measures for the periods presented:
