Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (“Volt” or the “Company”) (NYSE-AMERICAN: VOLT) a global provider of staffing services, today announced financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2020.
Second Quarter Highlighted Results
*Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Operating Loss and Adjusted EBITDA are Non-GAAP measures described and defined below.
“The second quarter of fiscal 2020 has certainly been an unprecedented one for our organization. The magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world triggering a rapid shutdown of the global economy is unlike anything we have seen in Volt’s 70 year history,” said Linda Perneau, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our experienced management team was instrumental in taking swift actions in response to this health and economic crisis, resulting in substantive SG&A reductions and improvement in both gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA. We remain well poised as the economic recovery progresses, and our focus will be on helping our clients and field employees return to work safely.”
Second Quarter Results
North American Staffing revenue for the quarter was $173.4 million, as compared to $208.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Adjusted Revenue, which is a Non-GAAP measure, for this segment decreased approximately 14.9 percent year over year. The decrease is primarily attributable to client facility closures and reduced demand associated with COVID-19, partially offset by business wins, including from new opportunities created to meet COVID-19 specific demand with new and existing clients.
International Staffing revenue was $24.3 million, compared to $28.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Adjusted Revenue, for this segment decreased 13.2 percent year over year. The decrease is primarily due to reduced work orders in the U.K.
North American MSP revenue was $9.7 million, as compared to $9.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Expansion of services within existing clients and the incremental revenue associated with a shift of certain clients from the North American Staffing segment was mostly offset by factors related to COVID-19.
Gross margin for the quarter was 15.6 percent of revenue, compared to 14.4 percent of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The change is attributable to a larger credit related to our workers’ compensation versus the prior year, and a decrease in payroll tax rates and other direct costs.
SG&A expense for the second quarter was $36.2 million, a $2.7 million reduction from the prior-year quarter. The decrease is primarily due to substantial cost reductions taken throughout the year and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adjusted EBITDA, which is a Non-GAAP measure, for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was a loss of $1.4 million, as compared to a loss of $1.5 million in the prior-year quarter.
Business Outlook
Due to the prolonged uncertainty surrounding the timing of reopening specific geographies, the Company is not providing Adjusted Revenue guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of known and unknown risks. Such risks include, among others, general economic, competitive and other business conditions (including the potential impact of the strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 on our operations as well as the operations of our customers), the degree and timing of customer utilization and renewal rate for contracts with the Company, and the degree of success of business improvement initiatives that could cause actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from those described or implied in the forward-looking statements. Information concerning these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are contained in the “Risk Factors” and other sections of the Company reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements and to consult our SEC filings for additional risks and uncertainties that may apply to our business and the ownership of our securities. Our forward-looking statements are presented as of the date made, and we disclaim any duty to update such statements unless required by law to do so.
Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has provided certain Non-GAAP financial information, including Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA, which include adjustments to our GAAP financial results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and may be different from Non-GAAP measures reported by other companies.
The Company believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP measures, including on a constant currency basis, eliminating the impact of businesses sold or exited, the extra operating week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and special items provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because they permit evaluation of the results of the Company without the effect of currency fluctuations, special items or the impact of businesses sold or exited that management believes make it more difficult to understand and evaluate the Company’s results of operations. Special items include impairments, restructuring and severance as well as certain income or expenses which the Company does not consider indicative of the current and future period performance and are more fully disclosed in the tables.
Adjusted Revenue is defined as revenue excluding businesses exited, the effect of foreign currency translation and the extra operating week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company has also migrated certain clients from a traditional staffing model to a managed service model, resulting in the Company now managing a greater percentage of such clients’ business under its North American MSP. This shift provides increased opportunity for the Company with the relevant clients. However, due to the structure of MSP arrangements, revenue is recognized on a net basis, thereby reducing revenues on a comparative period basis. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the Company includes such delivery model shifts within the Adjusted Revenue measurement, as it provides a more comparable basis for evaluating performance results from period to period and reflects the method used by management to evaluate performance. A reconciliation is shown in the tables at the end of this press release.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense as well as the special items described above.
Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure rather than a cash flow measure. The Company believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Company’s results of operations and operating cash flows as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditures or contractual commitments; does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service the interest payments, on the Company’s debt; and does not reflect cash required to pay income taxes.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is defined as operating income (loss) excluding businesses exited and the extra operating week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
The Company believes the presentation of Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is relevant and useful for investors because it provides a more comparable basis to evaluate performance results and analyze trends from period to period in a manner similar to the method used by management.
The Company’s computation of Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because all companies do not calculate these measures in the same fashion.
