NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(unaudited) |
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial statement preparation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) of TrueBlue, Inc. (the “company,” “TrueBlue,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the financial statements for the interim periods presented. We follow the same accounting policies for preparing both quarterly and annual financial statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.30, 2018. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018,June 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period.
GoodwillReclassifications
Certain immaterial prior year amounts have been reclassified within current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and indefinite-lived intangibleConsolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to current year presentation.
Leases
We conduct our branch office operations from leased locations. We also lease office spaces for our centralized support functions, vehicles and equipment. Many leases require variable payments of property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance, in addition to base rent. The variable portion of these lease payments is not included in our right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. Rather, variable payments, other than those dependent upon an index or rate, are expensed when the obligation for those payments is incurred and are included in lease expense in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The terms of our lease agreements generally range from three to five years, some containing options to renew or cancel. We determine if an arrangement meets the definition of a lease at inception, at which time we also perform an analysis to determine whether the lease qualifies as operating or financing.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease current and long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is included in SG&A expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Financing leases are included in property and equipment, net, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expense for financing leases is recognized as depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest expense.
Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured using the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable in our leases, we use our incremental borrowing rates based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rates used are estimated based on what we would be required to pay for a collateralized loan over a similar term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component.
For leases with an initial non-cancelable lease term of less than one year and no option to purchase, we have elected not to recognize the lease on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and instead recognize rent payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in SG&A expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In addition, for those leases where the right to cancel the lease is available to both TrueBlue (as the lessee) and the lessor, the lease term is the initial non-cancelable period plus the notice period, which is typically 90 days, and not greater than one year.

Goodwill
We evaluate goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter, and more frequently if an event occurswhenever events or circumstances changemake it more likely than not that would indicatean impairment may exist.have occurred. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, customerclient engagement, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. We monitor the existence of potential impairment indicators throughout the fiscal year.
Based on our annual We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level. We consider our operating segments to be our reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. Our operating segments are PeopleReady, Centerline, Staff Management, SIMOS, PeopleScout, and PeopleScout MSP. The impairment test performed asinvolves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the first dayreporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, we conclude that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value of the goodwill.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions to evaluate the impact of operational and macroeconomic changes on each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is a weighted average of the income and market valuation approaches. The income approach applies a fair value methodology based on discounted cash flows. This analysis requires significant estimates and judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our fiscal second quarter, allweighted average cost of capital, which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting units’unit being tested. We also apply a market approach, which identifies similar publicly traded companies and develops a correlation, referred to as a multiple, to apply to the operating results of the reporting units. The primary market multiples to which we compare are revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The income and market approaches were equally weighted in our most recent annual impairment test. We base fair values were substantially in excess of their respective carrying values.value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. We consider a reporting unit’s fair value to be substantially in excess of its carrying value at a 20% premium or greater.
Based on our 2019 annual impairment test, the estimated fair value of our SIMOS reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value of $35 million by approximately 10%. There are two key clients that individually account for more than 10% of revenue for the SIMOS reporting unit. For each client we service multiple sites. The loss of a key client, or a significant number of key sites, could give rise to an impairment. Should any one of these events occur, we may need to record an impairment loss to goodwill for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill. We will continue to closely monitor the operational performance of this reporting unit. All other reporting units’ fair values were substantially in excess of their respective carrying values. Accordingly, there was no impairment loss was recognized for the thirteentwenty-six weeks ended July 1,June 30, 2019.
Recently adopted accounting standards
Intangibles-goodwill and other-internal-use software
In August 2018, nor July 2, 2017.the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance on accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Previously, we expensed the cost of internal development labor as incurred.
The new guidance now requires these costs be capitalized with the related amortization recorded in SG&A expense. In addition, capitalized development costs are required to be recorded as a prepaid asset rather than a fixed asset, and license fees incurred during the development period are expensed as incurred.
The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We performed our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testelected to early adopt this new standard prospectively as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter and determined that the estimated fair values exceeded the carrying amounts for our indefinite-lived trade names. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018 nor July 2, 2017.
Recently adopted accounting standards
In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standing Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice when accounting for a change to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards. The objective was to reduce the scope of transactions that would require modification accounting. Disclosure requirements remain unchanged. This amended guidance was effective for our fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (Q1 2018 for TrueBlue), with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance for our fiscal first quarter of 2018. The adoption of the new standard did not have a materialin 2019. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements.statements upon adoption.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business, which revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. This guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning December 15, 2017 (Q1 2018 for TrueBlue) on a prospective basis. This standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In Q2 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of TMP Holdings LTD (“TMP”) and concluded that TMP represents a business based on this new guidance. See Note 3: Acquisition and divestiture, for further discussion of our acquisition of TMP.
In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance to amend the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This amended guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (Q1 2018 for TrueBlue). We adopted this guidance for our fiscal first quarter of 2018 using the retrospective transition method. Accordingly, the change in restricted cash and cash equivalents is no longer segregated in our statement of cash flows, and the $8.8 million previously presented in the investing section for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2017 is now included when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown on the statement of cash flows.

Leases
In OctoberFebruary 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for income tax effects of intercompany saleslease accounting. The new guidance continues to classify leases as either finance or transfers of assets other than inventory. The guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax impact of an intra-entity sale or transfer of an asset other than inventory when the sale or transfer occurs, rather than when the asset has been sold to an outside party. This guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (Q1 2018 for TrueBlue). The guidance requires a modified retrospective application with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings. We adopted this guidance for our fiscal first quarter of 2018. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance relating to how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented and classifiedoperating, but results in the statement of cash flows. The update was intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice. The amended guidance was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (Q1 2018 for TrueBlue). We adopted this guidance for our fiscal first quarter of 2018. The adoption of the new standard did not have an impact on our financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidancelessee recognizing most operating leases on the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option,balance sheet as right-of-use assets and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Thelease liabilities. This guidance was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 20172018 (Q1 20182019 for TrueBlue). Early, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB amended the standard to provide transition relief for comparative reporting, allowing companies to adopt the provisions of the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method on the adoption date, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings recorded on the date of adoption. We have elected to adopt the standard using the transition relief provided in the July amendment. In preparation for adoption of the amendmentsstandard, we have implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information.
We have elected the three practical expedients allowed for implementation of the new standard, but have not utilized the hindsight practical expedient. Accordingly, we did not reassess: 1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; 2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; 3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We have also elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead account for each as a single lease component, for all underlying asset classes. Accordingly, all expenses associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease expenses.
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the guidance was not permitted, with limited exceptions. The guidance required a cumulative-effect adjustment be made to reclassify unrealized gainsrecording of operating right-of-use assets and losses related to available-for-sale equity securities from accumulated other comprehensive income, to retained earnings aslease liabilities of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We adopted this guidance$39 million and $41 million, respectively, as of the first day of our fiscal first quarter of 2019. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities relates to the deferred rent liability balance as of the end of fiscal 2018 associated with the leases capitalized. The deferred rent liability, which was the difference between the straight-line lease expense and reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings, $1.5 million in unrealized gains, net of tax on available-for-sale equity securities. Beginning in Q1 2018, change in market valuecash paid, reduced the right-of-use asset upon adoption. Our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The standard did not materially impact our available-for-sale equity securities is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of OperationOperations and Comprehensive Income.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance outlining a single comprehensive model for accounting for revenue arising from contracts with clients, which supersedes the current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goodsIncome or services to clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted this new guidance asour Consolidated Statements of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as of the adoption date, nor for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018, except for expanded disclosures. Refer to Note 2: Revenue recognition for additional accounting policy and transition disclosures.Cash Flows.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting. accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This guidance sets forth a current expected credit loss model, which requires the measurement of credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance requires the application of a current expected credit loss model, which is a new guidance will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, but will result inimpairment model based on expected losses. Under this model, an entity recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasted information rather than the lessee recognizingcurrent methodology of delaying recognition of credit losses until it is probable a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on its balance sheet, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations.loss has been incurred. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 20182019 (Q1 20192020 for TrueBlue), and with early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required for all leases existing or entered into afterAlthough the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the consolidated financial statements. We plan to adopt the guidanceimpact upon adoption will depend on the effective date. We established a cross-functional implementation team consisting of representatives from various departments to review our current contracts, accounting policies and business practices to identify and quantify the potential impact of the new standard on our financial statements. We are completing this evaluation and expectinstruments held at that upon adoption, a majority of our operating lease commitments will be recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Wetime, we do not expect the adoption to haveanticipate a material impact on the pattern of expense recognition in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.
NOTE 2: REVENUE RECOGNITION
Adoption of new revenue recognition guidance
On January 1, 2018, we adopted new revenue recognition guidance using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the new revenue recognition guidance, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting guidance. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a materialsignificant impact on our consolidated financial statements asbased on the instruments currently held and our historical trend of bad debt expense relating to trade accounts receivable. We plan to adopt this guidance on the adoptioneffective date nor for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018, except for expanded disclosures.

Revenue recognition
We account for a contract when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenues are recognized over time, using an output measure, as the control of the promised services is transferred to the client in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The majority of our contracts are short-term in nature as they are filling the temporary staffing needs of our clients, or include termination clauses that allow either party to cancel within a short termination period, without cause. Revenue includes billable travel and other reimbursable costs and are reported net of sales, use,currently evaluating the impact on our accounting policies, processes, systems, and internal controls.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or other transaction taxes collected from clientseffective during the fiscal year had, or is expected to have, a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and remitted to taxing authorities. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered. We consider payment terms that exceed one year to be extended payment terms, however we do not extend payment terms beyond one year. Substantially all of our contracts include payment terms of 90 days or less.
We primarily record revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. We have determined that gross reporting as a principal is the appropriate treatment based upon the following key factors:
We maintain the direct contractual relationship with the client and are responsible for fulfilling the service promised to the client.
We maintain control over our workers while the services to the client are being performed.
We establish our worker’s billing rate.
Contingent staffing
We recognize revenue for our contingent staffing services over time as services are performed in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for our services, which is generally calculated as hours worked multiplied by the agreed-upon hourly bill rate. The client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are provided. We do not incur costs to obtain our contingent staffing contracts. Costs are incurred to fulfill some contingent staffing contracts, however these costs are not material and are expensed as incurred.
Human resource outsourcing
We primarily recognize revenue for our outsourced recruitment of permanent employees over time in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for our services. The client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are provided. We do not incur costs to obtain our outsourced recruitment of permanent employees’ contracts. The costs to fulfill these contracts are not material and are expensed as incurred.
Unsatisfied performance obligations
As a practical expedient, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an expected original duration of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Divestiture
Effective March 12, 2018, the company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of the PlaneTechs business to Launch Technical Workforce Solutions (“Launch”) for a purchase price of $11.4 million, of which $8.5 million was paid in cash, and $1.6 million in a note receivable due within six months following the closing date. The note receivable has monthly principal payments of $0.1 million beginning April 2018 with the remainder due in September 2018, which is included in prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining purchase price balance consists of the preliminary working capital adjustment, which is expected to be paid in cash during the fiscal third quarter of 2018 and is included in prepaid expenses, deposit and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The company recognized a preliminary pre-tax gain on the divestiture of $1.1 million, which is included in interest and other income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018. Fiscal first quarter revenue through the closing date of the divestiture for the PlaneTechs business of $8.0 million was reported in the PeopleManagement reportable segment.
The divestiture of PlaneTechs did not represent a strategic shift with a major effect on the company’s operations and financial results and, therefore was not reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the periods presented.
The company has agreed to provide certain transition services to Launch for a period not to exceed seven months, which includes various back office services to support the PlaneTechs branch offices until personnel and systems are transferred to Launch.

Held-to-maturity
Restricted cash and investments consist principally ofinclude collateral that has been provided or pledged to insurance carriers for workers’ compensation and state workers’ compensation programs. Our insurance carriers and certain state workers’ compensation programs require us to collateralize a portion of our workers’ compensation obligation. The collateral typically takes the form of cash and cash equivalents and highly rated investment grade securities, primarily in debt and asset-backed securities. The majority of our collateral obligations are held in a trust at the Bank of New York Mellon (“Trust”).

The unrealized losses were the result of interest rate increases. Since the decline in estimated fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the company has the intent and ability to hold these debt securities until recovery of amortized cost or until maturity, we do not consider these investments other than temporarily impaired.

NOTE 7:5: WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE AND RESERVES
We provide workers’ compensation insurance for our temporary and permanent employees. The majority of our current workers’ compensation insurance policies cover claims for a particular event above a $2.0 million deductible limit, on a “per occurrence” basis. This results in our being substantially self-insured.
Our workers’ compensation reserve for claims below the deductible limit is discounted to its estimated net present value using discount rates based on average returns of “risk-free” U.S. Treasury instruments available during the year in which the liability was incurred. The weighted average discount rate was 1.9%2.1% and 1.8%2.0% at July 1, 2018June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2017,30, 2018, respectively. Payments made against self-insured claims are made over a weighted average period of approximately five4.5 years as of July 1, 2018.June 30, 2019.

Our workers’ compensation reserve includes estimated expenses related to claims above our self-insured limits (“excess claims”), and we record a corresponding receivable for the insurance coverage on excess claims based on the contractual policy agreements we have with insurance carriers. We discount this reserve and corresponding receivable to its estimated net present value using the discount rates based on average returns of “risk-free” U.S. Treasury instruments available during the year in which the liability was incurred. At July 1, 2018June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2017,30, 2018, the weighted average rate was 2.6% and 2.5%, respectively.2.9%. The claim payments are made and the corresponding reimbursements from our insurance carriers are received over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 1516 years. The discounted workers’ compensation reserve for excess claims and the corresponding receivable for the insurance on excess claims was $48.6$47.3 million and $48.8$48.2 million as of July 1, 2018June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2017,30, 2018, respectively.

Revolving credit facility
Effective June 30, 2014, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement for a secured revolving credit facility of $300.0 million with Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, HSBC and PNC Capital Markets LLC (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The maximum amount we could borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility was subject to certain borrowing limits. Specifically, we were limited to the sum of 90% of our eligible billed accounts receivable, plus 85% of our eligible unbilled accounts receivable limited to 15% of all our eligible receivables, plus the value of our Tacoma headquarters office building. The borrowing limit was further reduced by the sum of a reserve in an amount equal to the payroll and payroll taxes for our temporary employees for one payroll cycle and certain other reserves, if deemed applicable. As of July 1, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Revolving Credit Facility.
Revolving credit facility subsequent event
On July 13, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., KeyBank, N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, N.A. (“New Revolving Credit Facility”), and replaced the Revolving Credit Facility. The agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $300 million with an option, subject to lender approval, to increase the amount to $450 million, and matures in five years. Under the terms of the agreement, we will pay a variable rate of interest on funds borrowed that is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable spread between 1.25% and 2.50%. Alternatively, at our option, we may pay interest based upon a base rate plus an applicable spread between 0.25% and 1.50%. The applicable spread will be determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. The base rate is the greater of the prime rate (as announced by Bank of America), the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%.
|
| |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
A commitment fee between 0.250% and 0.375% will be applied against the New Revolving Credit Facility’s unused borrowing capacity, with the specific rate determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. Letters of credit are priced at a margin between 1.00% and 2.25%, plus a fronting fee of 0.50%. Obligations under the agreement are guaranteed by TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by certain collateral of TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries. The agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as defined in the credit agreement.
Accordingly, we classified the Revolving Credit Facility as long-term as of July 1, 2018, since the New Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Revolving Credit Facility on a long-term basis.
Term loan agreement
On June 25, 2018, we pre-paid in full our outstanding obligations of approximately $22.0 million with Synovus Bank, terminating all commitments under this term loan (the “Term Loan”) dated February 4, 2013 (as subsequently amended). We did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Term Loan.

Operating leases
We have contractual commitments in the form of operating leases related to office space, vehicles and equipment. Our leases have remaining terms of up to 14 years. Most leases include one or more options to renew, which can extend the lease term up to 10 years. The exercise of lease renewal options are at our sole discretion. Typically, at the commencement of a lease, we are not reasonably certain we will exercise renewal options, and accordingly they are not considered in determining the initial lease term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We rent or sublease real estate to third parties in limited circumstances.

(1) | Under applicable Washington State law, shares purchased are not displayed separately as treasury stock on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are treated as authorized but unissued shares. It is our accounting policy to first record these purchases as a reduction to our common stock account. Once the common stock account has been reduced to a nominal balance, remaining purchases are recorded as a reduction to our retained earnings. Furthermore, activity in our common stock account related to stock-based compensation is also recorded to retained earnings until such time as the reduction to retained earnings due to stock repurchases has been recovered. |

(2) | As a result of our adoption of the accounting standard for equity investments issued by the FASB in January 2016, $1.5 million in unrealized gains, net of tax on equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings as of the beginning of fiscal 2018. There were no material reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Our income tax provision or benefit for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes we make a cumulative adjustment. Our quarterly tax provision and quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate are subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and loss by jurisdiction, tax credits, government audit developments, changes in laws, regulations and administrative practices, and relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Additionally, our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items, tax credits, and non-deductible expenses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income is lower. Except as required under U.S. tax law, we do not provide for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries since we consider those earnings to be permanently invested outside of the U.S.
Our effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018June 30, 2019 was 11.5%10.8%. The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% and our effective income tax rate results primarily from the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit. This tax credit is designed to encourage employers to hire workers from certain targeted groups with higher than average unemployment rates. Other differences between the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% and our effective tax rate result from state and foreign income taxes, certain non-deductible expenses, tax exempttax-exempt interest, and tax effects of share basedstock-based compensation.
On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 was issued to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018, we have not identified any needed adjustments to our transition tax and revaluation of net deferred tax assets recorded at December 31, 2017. Any

NOTE 13:10: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our operating segments are based on the organizational structure for which financial results are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision-maker, our Chief Executive Officer, to determine resource allocation and assess performance. Our operating segments, also referred to as service lines, and reportable segments are described below:
Our PeopleReady reportable segment provides blue-collar, contingent staffing through the PeopleReady operating segment. PeopleReady provides on-demand and skilled labor in a broad range of industries that include construction, manufacturing and logistics, warehousing and distribution, waste and recycling, hospitality, general labor and others.
Our PeopleManagement reportable segment provides contingent labor and outsourced industrial workforce solutions, primarily on-premise at the client’s facility, through the following operating segments, which we have aggregated into one reportable segment in accordance with U.S. GAAP:
| |
• | Staff Management | SMX: Exclusive recruitment and on-premise management of a facility’s contingent industrial workforce; |
| |
• | SIMOS Insourcing Solutions: On-premise management and recruitment of warehouse/distribution operations; and |
| |
• | Centerline Drivers: Recruitment and management of temporary and dedicated drivers to the transportation and distribution industries. |

PeopleScout: Outsourced recruitment of permanent employees on behalf of clients; and
PeopleScout MSP: Management of multiple third party staffing vendors on behalf of clients.
Effective June 12, 2018, we acquired TMP Holdings LTD, through our PeopleScout subsidiary.PeopleScout. Accordingly, the results associated with the acquisition are included in our PeopleScout operating segment. TMP is a mid-sized RPO and employer branding service provider operating in the United Kingdom which is the second largest RPO market in the world. This acquisition increases our ability to win multi-continent engagements by adding a physical presence in Europe, referenceable clients and employer branding capabilities. For additional information, see Note 3:Acquisition and divestiture.
We evaluate performance based on segment revenue and segment profit. Inter-segment revenue is minimal. Commencing in the fiscal first quarter of 2018, we revised our internal segment performance measure to be segment profit, rather than the previously reported segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (segment EBITDA). Segment profit includes revenue, related cost of services, and ongoing operating expenses directly attributable to the reportable segment. Segment profit excludes goodwill and intangible impairment charges, depreciation and amortization expense, unallocated corporate general and administrative expense, interest, other income and expense, income taxes, and costsother adjustments not considered to be ongoing costs of the segment. The prior year amounts have been recast to reflect this change for consistency purposes.ongoing.

OVERVIEW
Global employment trends are reshaping and redefining traditional employment models, sourcing strategies and human resource capability requirements.requirements due to changing demographics, worker shortages, employee preferences, and employer workforce needs. In response, the staffing industry has accelerated its evolution from commercial staffing into specialized staffing, and has expanded into outsourced staffing solutions. Client demand for contingent staffing services is dependent on the overall strength of the labor market and trends toward greater workforce flexibility. Improving economic growth typically results in increasing demand for labor, resulting in greater demand for our staffing services. This may create volatility based on overall economic conditions.
TrueBlue, Inc. (the “company,” “TrueBlue,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a leading provider of specialized workforce solutions that help clients achieve growth and improve productivity. We connected approximately 730,000 people with work during fiscal 2018, and served approximately 151,000 clients in a wide variety of industries through our PeopleReady segment which offers industrial staffing services, our PeopleManagement segment which offers contingent and productivity-based on-site industrial staffing and distribution services, and our PeopleScout segment which offers recruitment process outsourcing (“RPO”) and managed service provider (“MSP”) services.
Fiscal second quarter of 2019 highlights
The second quarter marks the five-year anniversary of our acquisition of Staffing Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“Seaton”) and the one-year anniversary of our acquisition of TMP Holdings LTD (“TMP”). The Seaton acquisition transformed the company into a diversified workforce solutions company and provided entry into the higher-growth, higher-margin RPO market as well as enabled further RPO acquisition growth with the acquisitions of Aon Hewitt’s RPO business in 2016 and TMP in 2018. The TMP acquisition bolstered our global RPO growth strategy, providing entry into the United Kingdom and accelerated our ability to compete on multi-continent deals.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Revenue from services
Total company revenue declined 4.2% to $589 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to less demand for our services attributable to lower volumes within the businesses of our clients. PeopleReady, our largest segment, experienced a revenue decline of 2.2%. PeopleManagement, our lowest margin segment, experienced a revenue decline of 14.2%. In addition to less demand from existing clients, we continue to experience the impact of the loss of several key clients in the prior year. PeopleScout, our highest margin segment, delivered 13.4% revenue growth benefiting from the acquisition of TMP on June 12, 2018, and contributing a full quarter of revenue in the second quarter of 2019. TMP represented a 17.0% increase in PeopleScout’s revenue compared to the prior year.
Gross profit
Total company gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2019 was 26.9%, compared to 27.0% for the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily due to client mix and lower margins within the acquired TMP business as a result of the pass-through nature of recruitment media purchases made on behalf of certain clients.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense
Total company SG&A expense decreased by $6 million to $128 million representing 21.7% of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2019, compared to $134 million, or 21.8% of revenue for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in SG&A expense is primarily due to cost control programs, while continuing to invest in our digital growth initiatives. The decrease was partially offset by $2 million of SG&A costs added by the acquisition of TMP.
Income from operations
Total company income from operations remained relatively flat at $21 million, or 3.5% of revenue, for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit from the decline in revenue was offset by a decrease in SG&A expense due to cost control programs.
Net income
Net income was $19 million, or $0.49 per diluted share for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2019, compared to $18 million, or $0.44 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year. The improvement was primarily driven by lower interest expense as we have reduced our total debt to $25 million at the end of the second quarter of 2019 compared to $117 million at the end of the second quarter of 2018.
Additional highlights
We believe we are taking the right steps to expand our operating margin and produce long-term growth for shareholders. We also believe we are in a strong financial position to fund working capital needs for growth opportunities. As of June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $23 million and $268 million available under our revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) for total liquidity of $291 million.
We continue to return cash to shareholders through our stock buyback program. We repurchased an additional $4 million of common stock during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, $49 million remains available for repurchase of common stock under the current authorization.

Our PeopleReady reportable segment provides on-demand blue-collar and skilled, contingent staffing to a broad range of industries that include construction, manufacturing and logistics, warehousing and distribution, waste and recycling, hospitality, general labor and others.
Our PeopleManagement reportable segment provides contingent labor and outsourced industrial workforce solutions, primarily on-premise, through the following operating segments, which we have aggregated into one reportable segment in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”):
Staff Management | SMX: Exclusive recruitment and on-premise management of a facility’s contingent industrial workforce;
SIMOS Insourcing Solutions: On-premise management and recruitment of warehouse/distribution operations; and
Centerline Drivers: Recruitment and management of temporary and dedicated drivers to the transportation and distribution industries.
Effective March 12, 2018, we divested the PlaneTechs business within our PeopleManagement reportable segment to Launch Technical Workforce Solutions. For additional information, see See Note 3: Acquisition and divestiture10: Segment Information, to our Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,.
Our PeopleScout for additional details on our service lines and reportable segment provides high-volume, permanent employee recruitment process outsourcing (“RPO”), and management of outsourced labor service providers through the following operating segments, which we have aggregated into one reportable segment in accordance with U.S. GAAP:segments.

• | PeopleReadyprovides access to reliable workers in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico through a wide range of staffing solutions for on-demand contingent general and skilled labor. PeopleReady connects people to work in a broad range of industries that include construction, manufacturing and logistics, warehousing and distribution, waste and recycling, energy, retail, hospitality, general labor, and others. As of December 30, 2018, we had a network of 620 branches across all 50 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. Complementing our branch network is our mobile application, JobStackTM, which connects workers with jobs, creates a virtual exchange between our workers and clients, and allows our branch resources to expand their recruiting and sales efforts and service delivery. JobStack is helping to competitively differentiate our services, expanding our reach into new demographics, and improving both service delivery and work order fill rates as we lead our business into a digital future. |
| |
• | PeopleManagement predominantly provides a wide range of on-premise contingent staffing and workforce management solutions to larger multi-site manufacturing & distribution clients. We use distinct brands to market our PeopleManagement contingent workforce solutions and operate as Staff Management | SMX (“Staff Management”), SIMOS Insourcing Solutions (“SIMOS”), and Centerline Drivers (“Centerline”). Staff Management specializes in recruitment and on-premise management of a facility’s contingent industrial workforce. SIMOS specializes in recruitment and on-premise management of warehouse/distribution operations to meet the growing demand for e-commerce and scalable supply chain solutions.

• | PeopleScout provides recruitment process outsourcing (“RPO”) to improve talent quality, faster hiring, increased scalability, lower cost of recruitment, greater flexibility, and increased compliance. Our clients outsource the recruitment process to PeopleScout in all major industries and jobs. We leverage our new proprietary candidate applicant tracking system AffinixTM, along with dedicated service delivery teams to work as an integrated partner with our clients in providing end-to-end talent acquisition services from sourcing candidates through onboarding employees. The solution is highly scalable and flexible, allowing for outsourcing of all or a subset of skill categories across a series of recruitment processes and onboarding steps. Affinixis PeopleScout’s proprietary talent acquisition technology for sourcing, screening and delivering a permanent workforce, bringing together talent acquisition technology into a single, integrated platform. Affinix uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to search the web and source candidates, which means we can create the first slate of candidates for a job posting within minutes rather than days. We have already seen evidence of higher candidate conversion rates, reduced time to fill positions, and increased client satisfaction as we lead our business into a digital future. Market interest in Affinix remains high. Our PeopleScout segment also includes a managed service provider business, which provides clients with improved quality and spend management of their contingent labor vendors. |

Fiscal Second Quarter of 2018 Highlights
Revenue from services
Total company revenue grew to $614 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018, a 0.7% increase compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to widespread revenue improvements in our PeopleReady business.
PeopleReady revenue from services
PeopleReady revenue grew to $377 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018, a 1.8% increase compared to the same period in the prior year, which was an improvement from a decrease of 4.7% for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2018. The revenue trend improvement was broad-based across most industries and geographies driven by improvements to local business development activities.
PeopleManagement revenue from services
PeopleManagementrevenue declined to $179 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018, a 7.3% decrease compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily due to the divestiture of our PlaneTechs business effective March 12, 2018, which accounted for a 5.7% decline in PeopleManagement’s revenue compared to the same period in the prior year. The remaining decline of 1.6% was primarily due to lower production volumes with certain clients.
PeopleScout revenue from services
PeopleScoutrevenue grew to $58 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018, a 24.7% increase compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a combination of new client wins and expansion of the scope of services for existing clients. During the second quarter of 2018, PeopleScout purchased TMP which represented a 6.1% increase in PeopleScout’s revenue compared to the same period in the prior year. TMP is a mid-sized RPO and employer branding serviceservices provider operating in the United Kingdom, which is the second largest RPO market in the world. We believe this acquisition increases our ability to win multi-continent engagements by adding a physical presence in Europe, referenceable clients and employer branding capabilities.
Gross profit
Total company gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018 was 27.0%, compared to 25.5% in the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by growth in our higher-margin PeopleScout businessacquired operations expand and
continued efficiency gains in their sourcing and recruitment activities. In addition, gross margin improved in the PeopleReady and PeopleManagement staffing businesses primarily due to lower workers’ compensation costs as a result of our continued efforts to manage the cost of claims and reduce workplace accidents.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense
Total company SG&A expense increased by $9 million to $134 million, or 21.8% as a percent of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018, compared to $125 million, or 20.4% as a percent of revenue for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $6 million of the increase was from higher costs in the core business, most of which occurred in complement our PeopleScout business to support their continued organic growth.services and will be fully integrated into this service line. The remaining increase included TMP operating costs of $1 million, TMP acquisition and integration costs of $1 million, and continued investment in cloud-based systems of approximately $1 million.
Income from operations
Total company income from operations was $21 million, or 3.5% as a percent of revenue, for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018, compared to $18 million, or 3.0% as a percent of revenue for the same period in the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to growth in revenue, growth in gross profit outpacing the growth in SG&A, and lower depreciation due to a proprietary software application becoming fully depreciated.
|
| | |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Net income
Net income was $18 million, or $0.44 per diluted share for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018, compared to $13 million, or $0.31 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year, a 42% increase in net income per diluted share compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher income from operations and a lower effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Our effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018 was 12.7% compared to 28.6% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in our effective income tax rate was primarily due to the enactment of the comprehensive tax legislation in December 2017, referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which decreased the federal tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018, and due to discrete tax benefits from additional prior year Work Opportunity Tax Credits.
Additional highlights
We believe we are taking the right steps to expand our operating margin and produce long-term growth for shareholders. We also believe we are in a strong financial position to fund working capital needs for growth opportunities. During the second quarter of 2018, we pre-paid in full our outstanding term loan with Synovus Bank of approximately $22 million. In addition, on July 13, 2018, we replaced our Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”), which was subject to borrowing limits tied primarily to eligible billed accounts receivable, and entered into a new credit agreement (“New Revolving Credit Facility”), which provides a $300 million credit line with an option, subject to lender approval, to increase the amount to $450 million (see Note 8: Long-term debt, to our Consolidated Financial Statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). We continue to return cash to shareholders through our stock buyback program, repurchasing $19 million of common stock during Q2 2018 for a weighted-average price per share of $25.17, leaving $74 million available under our existing authorization. As of July 1, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $33 million.

The mobile app is used by 17,000 clients in the transportation and hospitality industries, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Wage growth has accelerated due to various minimum wage increases and a need for higher wages to attract talent in tight labor markets. We have increased bill rates for the higher wages, payroll burdens and our traditional mark-ups.

In June 2018, PeopleScout purchased TMP, which accounted for a 6.1% increase in PeopleScout’s revenue compared to the same period in the prior year. TMP is a mid-sized RPO and employer branding service provider operating in the United Kingdom, which is the second largest RPO market in the world. We believe this acquisition increases our ability to win multi-continent engagements by adding a physical presence in Europe, referenceable clients and employer branding capabilities.

The increase was primarily driven by growth in our higher-margin PeopleScout business and continued efficiency gains in their sourcing and recruitment activities. In addition, grossGross margin improved in the PeopleReady and PeopleManagement staffing businesses primarily due to lower workers’ compensation costs of 0.3% from additional insurance coverage in our staffing business associated with former workers’ compensation carriers that are in liquidation. Due to improvements in their balance sheets, these carriers are now covering a larger proportion of outstanding claims. Gross margin further improved in our staffing business by 0.2% as a result of our continued efforts to manage the cost of claims and reduce workplace accidents. Continued favorable adjustments to our workers’ compensation liabilities are dependent on our ability to continue to lower accident rates and claim costs. Improvements to the gross margin of our staffing businesses were partially offset by declines to the PeopleScout gross margin due to lower margins with the acquired TMP business and client mix. Client mix margins were impacted by lower margins on a large client that was re-priced to reflect a multi-year arrangement.

Our effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 and July 1, 2018 was 10.8% and July 2, 2017 was 11.5% and 28.4%, respectively. We benefited fromFor the U.S. government enacting comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Act. The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, a federal tax rate reduction from 35.0% to 21.0% beginning in 2018. Additionally,twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $0.9 million of discrete tax benefits from prior year hiring credits of $0.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018.credits.
Our tax provision and our effective tax rate are subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and loss by jurisdiction, tax credits, government audit developments, changes in laws, regulations and administrative practices, and relative changes of expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Additionally, our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of tax credits and non-deductible expenses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income is lower. We do not provide for deferred income taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries because we consider those earnings to be permanently invested outside of the United States.
A significant driver of fluctuations in our effective income tax rate is the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (“WOTC”). WOTC is designed to encourage hiring of workers from certain disadvantaged targeted categories, and is generally calculated as a percentage of wages over a twelve month period up to worker maximums by targeted category. Based on historical results and business trends, we estimate the amount of WOTC we expect to earn related to wages of the current year. However, the estimate is subject to variation because 1) a small percentage of our workers qualify for one or more of the many targeted categories; 2) the targeted categories are subject to different incentive credit rates and limitations; 3) credits fluctuate depending on economic conditions and qualified worker retention periods; and 4) state and federal offices can delay their credit certification processing and have inconsistent certification rates. We recognize additional prior year hiring credits if credits in excess of original estimates have been certified by government offices. WOTC was restored through December 31, 2019, as a result of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015, signed into law on December 18, 2015.

Segment performance
We evaluate performance based on segment revenue and segment profit. Inter-segment revenue is minimal. Commencing in the fiscal first quarter of 2018, we revised our internal segment performance measure to be segment profit, rather than the previously reported segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (segment EBITDA). Segment profit includes revenue, related cost of services, and ongoing operating expenses directly attributable to the reportable segment. Segment profit excludes goodwill and intangible impairment charges, depreciation and amortization expense, unallocated corporate general and administrative expense, interest, other income and expense, income taxes, and costsother adjustments not considered to be ongoing costs of the segment. The prior year amounts have been recast to reflect this change for consistency purposes.ongoing. See Note 13: 10: Segment informationInformation, to our Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details of our reportable segments, as well as a reconciliation of segment profit to income before tax expense.

| | |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Segment profit should not be considered a measure of financial performance in isolation or as an alternative to net income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
PeopleScout segment profit decreased 0.9% to $11 million, or 17.1% of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2019, compared to $11 million, or 19.5% of revenue for the same period in the prior year. The decline in segment profit margin is primarily driven by the acquisition of TMP and client mix, which is partially offset by continued efficiency gains in sourcing and recruiting activities. TMP margins are lower than those of PeopleScout due to the pass through nature of media-related purchases on behalf of certain clients. Client mix margins were impacted by less volume and lower margins on a large client that was re-priced to reflect a multi-year arrangement and loss of a higher margin client which was acquired by a strategic buyer in late 2018.
For the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018,June 30, 2019, PeopleScout segment profit decreased 6.8% to $22 million, or 16.2% of revenue, compared to $19$23 million, or 20.8% of revenue for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to revenue growth driven by strong market interest in our recruitment process outsourcing services and scope expansions with existing clients, which has been accentuated by our new talent acquisition technology, AffinixTM. The increasedecline in segment profit margin is primarily driven by the lower margins of TMP, less volume and lower margins on a large client that was also drivenre-priced to reflect a multi-year arrangement, and loss of a higher margin client which was acquired by a strategic buyer in late 2018. The declines are partially offset by continued efficiency gains in sourcing and recruiting activities. These increases to segment profit were partially offset by additional operating costs to support organic growth.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
We have limited visibility into future demand for our services. However, we believe there is value in providing highlights of our expectations for future financial performance. The following highlights represent our expectations regarding operating trends for the remainder of fiscal 2018.2019. These expectations are subject to revision as our business changes with the overall economy.
OurWe expect additional pressure on our revenue trends in the third quarter of 2019 due primarily to widespread lower same-client demand as they continue to experience weaker volumes within their own businesses across most geographies and industries. PeopleReady, our largest segment, experienced year-over-year revenue declines in June which were higher than the average for the second quarter of 2019 and experienced lower demand during July. PeopleScout, our highest margin segment, passed the one year anniversary of the TMP acquisition in June 2019. PeopleScout will experience further pressure due to the continued impact of the loss of a key client that was acquired by a strategic buyer and reduced volumes at lower margins for a key client re-priced to reflect a multi-year arrangement. PeopleManagement, our lowest margin segment, provides staffing services to Amazon fulfillment centers in Canada. We received notice that Amazon intends to assume responsibility for all if its workforce needs in Canadais experiencing less demand from existing clients and will discontinuecontinue to experience the useimpact of the loss of several key clients in the prior year who largely insourced services previously outsourced to PeopleManagement.
We believe there is a changing pace of underlying economic activity in some of the industries we serve. Our belief is based on our services on September 1, 2018. Amazonsame client revenue trends and segment profit over the last four quarters was $52 million and $5.9 million, respectively.softening demand for our PeopleReady services. Given the project-based nature of PeopleReady’s business, we believe it is often an early indicator of changing demand patterns.
Our top priority remainscontinues to producebe the production of solid organic revenue and gross profit growth while leveraging our cost structure to increase income from operations as a percentage of revenue. ThroughWe will continue to focus on disciplined pricing and management of increasing minimum wages, taxes and benefits,benefits. This was the first quarter in over two years that our bill rates grew faster than our pay rates and we expect to continue to pass through the higher cost of our temporary workers. Likewise, cost management programs to lower the cost of services and control operating expenses are key priorities in the short-term and to position the business for strong operating leverage and profitable long-term growth in the future.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $49$37 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018,June 30, 2019, compared to $64$49 million for the same period in the prior year.
Depreciation and amortization decreased Net cash provided by operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to a proprietary software application becoming fully depreciated during the fiscal fourth quarternet income of 2017.
The decrease in$28 million and net cash provided by accounts receivable in the current year is primarilyof $16 million due to normal seasonal deleveraging and slowing demand for our services which is attributable to lower volumes within the divestiturebusinesses of our PlaneTechs business effective March 12, 2018clients. This was partially offset by an increase in our days sales outstanding due to growth in our PeopleScout business, which has longer payment terms.
The increase in income tax receivable in the current year is primarily due to the benefit of higher than expected WOTC. Thea decrease in income tax receivable in the prior year is due primarily to receipt of a refund of $9 million for returns amended for higher than anticipated benefits from WOTC.
The increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses in the current period is primarilyof approximately $10 million due to growth intiming of payments to facilitate the business. The decline in accounts payable and other accrued expenses intransition to our new enterprise resource planning system at the prior period was primarily due tobeginning of 2019. Additionally, our cost control programs commencing in the prior year in connection with declining revenues and timing of payments.
The change in other assets and liabilities is primarily due to investments in cloud-based systems of $6 million and a note receivable of $1 million relating to the divestiture of the PlaneTechs business effective March 12, 2018.
Generally, our workers’ compensation claims reserve for estimated claims increases as contingent labor services increase and decreases as contingent labor services decline. However, our worker safety programs have had a positive impact and have created favorable adjustments to our workers’ compensation liabilities recorded in prior periods. Continued favorable adjustments to our workers’ compensation liabilities are dependent on our ability to continue to lower accident rates and claim costs.

Net cash used in investing activities was $18$3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018,June 30, 2019, compared to a $16$18 million cash use for the same period in the prior year.
Cash used in investing activities in the prior year was primarily due to an acquisition which was partially offset by a divestiture. Effective June 12, 2018, the company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of TMP, through its subsidiary PeopleScout for a cash purchase price of $23 million, net of cash acquired of $7 million. See Note 3:2: Acquisition and divestiture, to our Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details on the purchase of TMP.
Effective March 12, 2018, the company entered into an asset purchase agreement to selldivested substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of its PlaneTechs business to Launch Technical Workforce Solutions for a purchase price of $11 million, of which $9 million has been paidwas received in cash as ofduring the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018. See Note 3: Acquisition and divestiture, to our Consolidated Financial Statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details on the divestiture of our PlaneTechs business.
Restricted investments consist primarily of collateral that has been provided or pledged to insurance carriers and state workers’ compensation programs. The decrease in the incremental cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower collateral requirements from our workers’ compensation insurance providers, as well as the timing of collateral payments.
Cash flows from financing activities
Our cash flows from financing activities were as follows:

Net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to net repayments on our Revolving Credit Facility of $55 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 as compared to net draws of $21 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The draws on the Revolving Credit Facility enabled the pre-payment of the outstanding balance of our existing long-term debt of $22 million on June 25, 2018.
We made further progress on our stock buyback program, repurchasing $19repurchased $9 million of common stock during Q2 2018 for a weighted-average price per share of $25.17, leaving $74the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $19 million available under our existing authorization.
On June 25, 2018, we pre-paid in full our outstanding obligations of approximately $22 million with Synovus Bank, terminating all commitments under this term loan (the “Term Loan”) dated February 4, 2013 (as subsequently amended). We did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Term Loan.
|
| | |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
We borrowed against our Revolving Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of TMP effective June 12, 2018 and liquidation of the Synovus Bank loan. See Note 3: Acquisition and divestiture, to our Consolidated Financial Statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details on the purchase of TMP.
Future outlook
Our cash-generating capability provides us with financial flexibility in meeting our operating and investing needs. Our current financial position is highlighted as follows:
On July 13, 2018, we replaced our Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, which was subject to borrowing limits tied primarily to eligible billed accounts receivable, and entered into a new credit agreement. This agreement provides a $300 million credit line with an option, subject to lender approval, to increase the amount to $450 million (see Note 8: Long-term debt, to our Consolidated Financial Statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
We had cash and cash equivalents of $33 million at July 1, 2018.
The majority of our workers’ compensation payments are made from restricted cash rather than cash from operations. At July 1, 2018, we had restricted cash and investments totaling $239 million.
We believe that cash provided from operations and our capital resources will be adequate to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.same period in the prior year. As of June 30, 2019, $49 million remains available for repurchase of common stock under the current authorization.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Revolving credit facility
On July 13, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., KeyBank, N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., and replaced the second amended and restated credit agreement associated with our prior credit facility. The agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $300 million with an option, subject to lender approval, to increase the amount to $450 million, and matures in five years. Under the terms
A commitment fee between 0.250% and 0.375% will be applied against the New Revolving Credit Facility’s unused borrowing capacity, with the specific rate determined by the consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. Letters of credit are priced at a margin between 1.00% and 2.25%, plus a fronting fee of 0.50%. Obligations under the agreement are guaranteed by TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by certain collateral of TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries. The agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as defined in the credit agreement (see Note 8: Long-term debt, to our Consolidated Financial Statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Restricted cash and investments
Restricted cash and investments consist principally of collateral that has been provided or pledged to insurance carriers for workers’ compensation and state workers’ compensation programs. Our insurance carriers and certain state workers’ compensation programs require us to collateralize a portion of our workers’ compensation obligation. We have agreements with certain financial institutions that allow us to restrict cash and cash equivalents and investments for the purpose of providing collateral instruments to our insurance carriers to satisfy workers’ compensation claims. At July 1, 2018,June 30, 2019, we had restricted cash and investments totaling $239$223 million. The majority of our collateral obligations are held in a trust at the Bank of New York Mellon (“Trust”). See Note 5:4: Restricted cashCash and investmentsInvestments, to our Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for details of our restricted cash and investments.
|
| | |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
We established investment policy directives for the Trust with the first priority to preserve capital, second to ensure sufficient liquidity to pay workers’ compensation claims, third to diversify the investment portfolio, and fourth to maximize after-tax returns. Trust investments must meet minimum acceptable quality standards. The primary investments include U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency debentures, U.S. agency mortgages, corporate securities, and municipal securities. For those investments rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations the minimum ratings at time of purchase are:

Short-term rating | A-1/SP-1 | P-1/MIG-1 | F-1 |
Long-term rating | A | A2 | A |
Workers’ compensation insurance, collateral and claims reserves
Workers’ compensation insurance
We provide workers’ compensation insurance for our temporary and permanent employees. The majority of our current workers’ compensation insurance policies cover claims for a particular event above a $2 million deductible limit, on a “per occurrence” basis and accordingly, we are substantially self-insured.
For workers’ compensation claims originating in Washington, North Dakota, Ohio, Wyoming, Canada and Puerto Rico (our “monopolistic jurisdictions”), we pay workers’ compensation insurance premiums and obtain full coverage under government-administered programs (with the exception of PeopleReady in Ohio where we have a self-insured policy). Accordingly, because we are not the primary obligor, our financial statements do not reflect the liability for workers’ compensation claims in these monopolistic jurisdictions.
Workers’ compensation collateral
Our insurance carriers and certain state workers’ compensation programs require us to collateralize a portion of our workers’ compensation obligation, for which they become responsible should we become insolvent. The collateral typically takes the form of cash and cash-backed instruments, highly rated investment grade securities, letters of credit, and/or surety bonds. On a regular basis, these entities assess the amount of collateral they will require from us relative to our workers’ compensation obligation. Such amounts can increase or decrease independent of our assessments and reserves. We generally anticipate that our collateral commitments will continue to grow as we grow our business. We pay our premiums and deposit our collateral in installments. The majority of the restricted cash and investments collateralizing our self-insured workers’ compensation policies are held in the Trust.
Our total collateral commitments were made up of the following components for the fiscal period end dates presented:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
The terms of these bonds are subject to review and renewal every one to four years and most bonds can be canceled by the sureties with as little as 60 days’ notice.

| $ | 220,986 |
| $ | 235,475 |
|
| |
(1) | Our workers’ compensation reserves are discounted to their estimated net present value while our collateral commitments are based on the gross, undiscounted reserve. |
| |
(2) | Excess claims reserve includes the estimated obligation for claims above our deductible limits. These are the responsibility of the insurance carriers against which there are no collateral requirements. |
| |
(3) | This amount is included in restricted cash and represents a timing difference between claim payments made by our insurance carrier and the reimbursement from cash held in the Trust. When claims are paid by our carrier, the amount is removed from the workers’ compensation reserve but not removed from collateral until reimbursed to the carrier. |
| |
(4) | Represents the difference between the self-insured reserves and collateral commitments. |
Our workers’ compensation reserve is established using estimates of the future cost of claims and related expenses, which are discounted to their estimated net present value. We discount our workers’ compensation liability as we believe the estimated future cash outflows are readily determinable.
Our workers’ compensation reserve for deductible and self-insured claims is established using estimates of the future cost of claims and related expenses that have been reported but not settled, as well as those that have been incurred but not reported. Reserves are estimated for claims incurred in the current year, as well as claims incurred during prior years.
Management evaluates the adequacy of the workers’ compensation reserves in conjunction with an independent quarterly actuarial assessment. Factors considered in establishing and adjusting these reserves include, among other things:
changes in medical and time loss (“indemnity”) costs;
changes in mix between medical only and indemnity claims;
regulatory and legislative developments impacting benefits and settlement requirements;
type and location of work performed;
the impact of safety initiatives; and
positive or adverse development of claims.
Our workers’ compensation claims reserves are discounted to their estimated net present value using discount rates based on returns of “risk-free” U.S. Treasury instruments with maturities comparable to the weighted average lives of our workers’ compensation claims. At July 1, 2018,June 30, 2019, the weighted average discount rate was 1.9%2.1%. The claim payments are made over an estimated weighted average period of approximately five4.5 years.
Our workers’ compensation reserves include estimated expenses related to claims above our self-insured limits (“excess claims”), and a corresponding receivable for the insurance coverage on excess claims based on the contractual policy agreements we have with insurance carriers. We discount this reserve and corresponding receivable to its estimated net present value using the discount rates based on average returns of “risk-free” U.S. Treasury instruments available during the year in which the liability was incurred. At July 1, 2018,June 30, 2019, the weighted average rate was 2.6%2.9%. The claim payments are made and the corresponding reimbursements from our insurance carriers are received over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 1516 years. The discounted workers’ compensation reserve for excess claims and the corresponding receivable for the insurance on excess claims were $49$47 million and $48 million as of July 1, 2018June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2017.
|
| | |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Certain workers’ compensation insurance companies with which we formerly did business are in liquidation and have failed to pay a number of excess claims to date. We have recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all of the insurance receivables from the insurance companies in liquidation.30, 2018, respectively.
We continue to actively manage workers’ compensation expense through the safety of our temporary workers with our safety programs, and actively control costs with our network of service providers. These actions have had a positive impact creating favorable adjustments to workers’ compensation liabilities recorded in prior periods. Continued favorable adjustments to our
|
| | |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
workers’ compensation liabilities are dependent on our ability to continue to aggressively lower accident rates and costs of our claims. We expect diminishing favorable adjustments to our workers’ compensation liabilities as the opportunity for significant reduction to frequency and severity of accident rates diminishes.
Future outlook
We believe we are taking the right steps to expand our operating margin and produce long-term growth for shareholders. We also believe we are in a strong financial position to fund working capital needs for growth opportunities. As of June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $23 million and $268 million available under our Revolving Credit Facility for total liquidity of $291 million.
We continue to return cash to shareholders through our stock buyback program. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased $9 million of common stock. As of June 30, 2019, $49 million remains available for repurchase under the current authorization.
We believe that cash provided from operations and our capital resources will be adequate to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
There have been no material changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, outside of the ordinary course of business, to the contractual obligations specified in the table of contractual obligations found in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.30, 2018.
SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our critical accounting estimates are discussed in Part II, “Item 7. Management’sItem 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.30, 2018. The following has been updated to reflect the results of our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analyses.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
We evaluate goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter, and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, customerclient engagement, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. We monitor the existence of potential impairment indicators throughout the fiscal year.
Goodwill
We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level. We consider our operating segments to be our reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. Our operating segments are PeopleReady, Centerline, Staff Management, | SMX, SIMOS, PeopleScout, and PeopleScout MSP. The impairment test involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, we conclude that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value of the goodwill.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions to evaluate the impact of operational and macroeconomic changes on each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is a weighted average of the income and market valuation approaches. The income approach applies a fair value methodology based on discounted cash flows. This analysis requires significant estimates and judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital, which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting unit being tested. Our weighted average cost of capital for our most recent annual impairment test ranged from 10.5%11.5% to 11.5%12.5%. We also apply a market approach, which identifies similar publicly traded companies and develops a correlation, referred to as a multiple, to apply to the operating results of the reporting units. The primary market multiples to which we compare are revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The income and market approaches were equally weighted in our most recent annual impairment test. These combined fair values are reconciled to our aggregate market value of
|
| | |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
our shares of common stock outstanding on the date of valuation, resulting in a reasonable control premium of 13.2%15.2%. We base fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. We consider a reporting unit’s fair value to be substantially in excess of its carrying value at a 20% premium or greater.
|
| | |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Based on our 2019 annual impairment test, performedthe estimated fair value of our SIMOS reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value of $35 million by approximately 10%. There are two key clients that individually account for more than 10% of revenue for the SIMOS reporting unit. For each client we service multiple sites. The loss of a key client, or a significant number of key sites, could give rise to an impairment. Should any one of these events occur, we may need to record an impairment loss to goodwill for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill.
A discount rate of 12.5% was used in calculating the fair value of this reporting unit. In the event that the discount rate increases by approximately 1 percentage point, the forecasted revenue growth rate declines by approximately 3 percentage points, or gross margin as a percentage of revenue declines by approximately 1 percentage point, the carrying value of the first dayreporting unit would exceed its fair value. Should any one of these events occur, we may need to record an impairment loss to goodwill for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill. We will continue to closely monitor the operational performance of this reporting unit.
All other reporting units’ fair values were substantially in excess of their respective carrying values. Accordingly, there was no impairment loss was recognized for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019. Based on our fiscal second quarter of 2018 annual impairment test, all reporting units’ fair values were substantially in excess of their respective carrying values. Accordingly, there was no impairment loss was recognized for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018 nor July 2, 2017.
The estimated fair value of our Staff Management | SMX and SIMOS reporting units were in excess of their carrying value, however, the operations of these reporting units are largely dependent on major national customers. The loss of a major national customer could give rise to an impairment. In that event, we would be required to record a goodwill impairment. We will continue to closely monitor the operational performance of these reporting units.2018.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
We have indefinite-lived intangible assets related to our Staff Management | SMX and PeopleScout trade names. We test our trade names annually for impairment, and when indicators of potential impairment exist. We utilize the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of each of our trade names. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value. Management uses considerable judgment to determine key assumptions, including projected revenue, royalty rates and appropriate discount rates.
We performed our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter offor 2019 and 2018, and determined that the estimated fair values exceeded the carrying amounts for our indefinite-lived trade names. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 or July 1, 2018 nor July 2, 2017.2018.

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are discussed in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.30, 2018.

Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the fiscal second quarter of 2018,2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of July 1,June 30, 2019.
During fiscal 2018, we prepared for implementation of an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, culminating with our transition to the new ERP system on December 31, 2018. The new ERP system was designed and implemented, in part, to enhance the overall system of internal controls over financial reporting through further automation and integration of business processes. In connection with implementation, we modified the design and documentation of certain internal control processes and procedures, as necessary, to accommodate related changes to our accounting procedures and business processes. Transition to this system also included significant testing efforts prior to system implementation, including training of employees who will be using the system and updating of operational processes and procedures impacted by the implementation.
There
With the exception of the ERP system implementation described above, there were no other material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting.
The certifications required by Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act are filed as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
See Note 9: 6: Commitments and contingencies,Contingencies, to our Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements found in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Investing in our securities involves risk. The following risk factors and all other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be considered in evaluating our future prospects. If any of the events described below occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or access to the capital markets could be materially and adversely affected.
Demand for our workforce solutions is significantly affected by fluctuations in general economic conditions.
The demand for workforce solutions is highly dependent upon the state of the economy and upon the workforce needs of our clients, which creates uncertainty and volatility. National and global economic activity can be slowed by many factors, including rising interest rates and global trade uncertainties. As economic activity slows, companies tend to reduce their use of temporary workers and reduce their recruitment of new employees. Significant declines in demand of any region or industry in which we have a major presence may severely reduce the demand for our services and thereby significantly decrease our revenues and profits. Deterioration in economic conditions or the financial or credit markets could also have an adverse impact on our clients’ ability to pay for services we have already provided.
It is difficult for us to forecast future demand for our services due to the inherent uncertainty in forecasting the direction and strength of economic cycles and the project nature of our staffing assignments. The uncertainty can be exacerbated by volatile economic conditions, which may cause clients to reduce or defer projects for which they utilize our services. The negative impact to our business can occur before a decline in economic activity is seen in the broader economy. When it is difficult for us to accurately forecast future demand, we may not be able to determine the optimal level of personnel and investment necessary to profitably take advantage of growth opportunities.
We may be unable to attract sufficient qualified candidates to meet the needs of our clients.
We compete to meet our clients’ needs for workforce solutions and, therefore, we must continually attract qualified candidates to fill positions. Attracting qualified candidates depends on factors such as desirability of the assignment, location, and the associated wages and other benefits. We have experienced shortages of qualified candidates and we may experience such shortages in the future. Further, if there is a shortage, the cost to employ or recruit these individuals could increase. If we are unable to pass those costs through to our clients, it could materially and adversely affect our business. Organized labor periodically engages in efforts to represent various groups of our temporary workers. If we are subject to unreasonable collective bargaining agreements or work disruptions, our business could be adversely affected.
We may not achieve the intended effects of our business strategy. strategy which could negatively impact our results.
Our business strategy focuses on driving growth in our PeopleReady, PeopleManagement and PeopleScout business lines by investing in innovative technology, acquisitions, and initiatives which drive organic growth. Our investments and acquisitions may not achieve our desired returns and the results of our initiatives may not be as expected or may be impacted by matters outside of our control. If we are unsuccessful in executing any of these strategies, we may not achieve our stated goal of revenue and profitability growth, which could negatively impact profitability.financial results.
Our workforce solutions are subject to extensive government regulation and the imposition of additional regulations, which could materially harm our future earnings.
Our workforce solutions are subject to extensive government regulation. The cost to comply, and any inability to comply with government regulation, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. IncreasedIncreases or changes in government regulation of the workplace or of the employer-employee relationship, or judicial or administrative proceedings related to such regulation, could materially harm our business.
Our temporary staffing services employ temporary workers. The wage rates we pay to temporary workers are based on many factors including government mandatedgovernment-mandated minimum wage requirements, payrollpayroll-related taxes and benefits. If we are not able to increase the fees charged to clients to absorb any increased costs related to government-mandated minimum wages, payroll-related taxes, or benefits,these factors, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We offer our temporary workers in the United States government mandatedgovernment-mandated health insurance in compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “ACA”).
Because the requirements, regulations, and interpretations of the ACA may change, the ultimate financial effect of the ACA is not yet known, and changes in its requirements and interpretations could increase or change our costs. In addition, because of the uncertainty surrounding a potential repeal or replacement of the ACA, we cannot predict with any certainty the likely impact of the ACA’s repeal or the adoption of any other health care reform legislation on our financial condition or operating results. Whether or not there is a change in health care legislation in the United States, there is likely to be significant disruption to the health care market in the future, and the costs of our health care expenditures may increase. If we are unable to comply with changes to the ACA, or any future health care legislation in the United States, or sufficiently raise the rates we charge our clients to cover any additional costs, such noncompliance or increases in costs could materially harm our business.
We may incur employment related claims and costs that could materially harm our business.
We are in the business of employing people in the workplaces of our clients. We incur a risk of liability for claims for personal injury, wage and hour violations, immigration, discrimination, harassment, and other liabilities arising from the actions of our clients and/or temporary workers. Some or all of these claims may give rise to negative publicity, litigation, settlements, or investigations. We may incur costs, charges or other material adverse impacts on our financial statements for the period in which the effect of an unfavorable final outcome becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We maintain insurance with respect to some potential claims and costs with deductibles. We cannot be certain that our insurance will be available, or if available, will be in sufficient amount or scope to cover all claims that may be asserted against us. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material effect on our business. We cannot be certain we will be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, that adequate replacement policies will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, or that our insurance providers will be able to pay claims we make under such policies.
We are dependent on workers’ compensation insurance coverage at commercially reasonable terms. Unexpected changes in claim trends on our workers’ compensation may negatively impact our financial condition.
Our temporary staffing services employ workers for which we provide workers’ compensation insurance. Our workers’ compensation insurance policies are renewed annually. The majority of our insurance policies are with AIG. Our insurance carriers require us to collateralize a significant portion of our workers’ compensation obligation. The majority of collateral is held in trust by a third-party for the payment of these claims. The loss or decline in value of the collateral could require us to seek additional sources of capital to pay our workers’ compensation claims. We cannot be certain we will be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future or that adequate replacement policies will be available on acceptable terms. As our business grows or if our financial results deteriorate, the amount of collateral required will likely increase and the timing of providing collateral could be accelerated. Resources to meet these requirements may not be available. The loss of our workers’ compensation insurance coverage would prevent us from operating as a staffing services business in the majority of our markets. Further, we cannot be certain that our current and former insurance carriers will be able to pay claims we make under such policies.
We self-insure, or otherwise bear financial responsibility for, a significant portion of expected losses under our workers’ compensation program. Unexpected changes in claim trends, including the severity and frequency of claims, changes in state laws regarding benefit levels and allowable claims, actuarial estimates, or medical cost inflation, could result in costs that are significantly different than initially reported. There can be no assurance that we will be able to increase the fees charged to our clients in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs as a result of any changes in claims-related liabilities.
We actively manage the safety of our temporary workers with our safety programs and actively control costs with our network of workers’ compensation related service providers. These activities have had a positive impact creating favorable adjustments to workers’ compensation liabilities recorded in prior periods. The benefit of these adjustments has been decliningare likely to decline and there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to reduce accident rates and control costs to produce these results in the future.
We operate in a highly competitive industry and may be unable to retain clients or market share.
Our industry is highly competitive and rapidly innovating, with low barriers to entry. We compete in global, national, regional and local markets with full-service and specialized temporary staffing companies.companies as well as business process outsourcing companies that also offer our services. Our competitors offer a variety of flexible workforce solutions. Therefore, there is no assurance that we will be able to retain clients or market share in the future, nor can there be any assurance that we will, in light of competitive pressures, be able to remain profitable or maintain our current profit margins.
Advances in technology may disrupt the labor and recruiting markets.
We expect the increased use of internet-based and mobile technology will attract additional technology-oriented companies and resources to the staffing industry. Our candidates and clients increasingly demand technological innovation to improve the access to and delivery of our services. Our clients increasingly rely on automation, artificial intelligence and other new technologies to reduce their dependence on labor needs, which may reduce demand for our services and impact our operations. We face extensive pressure for lower prices and new service offerings and must continue to invest
in and implement new technology and industry developments in order to remain relevant to our clients.clients and candidates. If we are unable to do so, our business and results of operations may decline materially.
We are at risk of damage to our brands and reputation, which is important to our success.
Our ability to attract and retain clients, temporary workers, candidates, and employees is affected by external perceptions of our brands and reputation. Reputational damage from negativeNegative perceptions or publicity could damage our reputation with clients and employees as well as prospectivecurrent or perspective clients and employees. Negative perceptions or publicity regarding our vendors, clients, or business partners may adversely affect our brand and reputation. We may not be successful in detecting, preventing, or negating all changes in or impacts upon our reputation.
Our level of debt and restrictions in our credit agreement could negatively affect our operations and limit our liquidity and our ability to react to changes in the economy.
Extensions of credit under our new credit agreement (“New Revolving Credit Facility”) are limited. Our New Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants that require us to maintain certain financial conditions. Our failure to comply with these restrictive covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in our being required to repay these borrowings before their due date. We may not have sufficient funds on hand to repay these loans, and if we are forced to refinance these borrowings on less favorable terms, or are unable to refinance at all, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by increased costs and rates.
Our principal sources of liquidity are funds generated from operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings under our New Revolving Credit Facility. We must have sufficient sources of liquidity to meet our working capital requirements, fund our workers’ compensation collateral requirements, service our outstanding indebtedness, and finance investment opportunities. Without sufficient liquidity, we could be forced to curtail our operations or we may not be able to pursue promising business opportunities.
Our debt levels could have significant consequences for the operation of our business including: requiring us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to servicing our debt rather than using it for our operations; limiting our ability to obtain additional debt financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, or other corporate purposes; limiting our ability to take advantage of significant business opportunities, such as acquisition opportunities; limiting our ability to react to changes in market or industry conditions; and putting us at a disadvantage compared to competitors with less debt.
The loss of, or substantial decline in revenue from, a major clientlarger clients could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability and liquidity.
We experience revenue concentration with large clients. Generally our contracts do not contain guarantees of minimum duration, revenue levels, or profitability and our clients may terminate their contracts or materially reduce their requested levels of service at any time. The loss of, or reduced demand for our services from, majorlarger clients has had, and in the future could have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, client concentration exposes us to concentrated credit risk, as a significant portion of our accounts receivable may be from a small number of clients. If we are unable to collect our receivables or are required to take additional reserves, our results and cash flows will be adversely affected.
Failure of our information technology systems could adversely affect our operating results.
The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to monitor and control our operations, adjust to changing market conditions, implement strategic initiatives, and provide services to clients. We rely heavily on proprietary and third-party information technology systems, mobile device technology and related services, and other technology, which may not yield the intended results. Our systems may experience problems with functionality and associated delays. The failure of our systems to perform as anticipated could disrupt our business and could result in decreased revenue and increased overhead costs, causing our business and results of operations to suffer materially.
Our information technology systems may need to be updated or replaced.
We occasionally implement, modify, retire and change our systems. For example, we are in the process of implementing a new cloud-based enterprise accounting system.resource planning and human capital management systems in 2019. These changes to our information technology systems may be disruptive, take longer than desired, be more expensive than anticipated, be distracting to management, or fail, causing our business and results of operations to suffer materially.
A cyberattack, orThe improper disclosure of, or access to, our confidential and/or proprietary information, or a failure to adequately protect this information, could materially harm our business.
Our business usesrequires the use, processing, and storage of confidential information about applicants, candidates, temporary workers, other employees and clients. We experience cyberattacks, computer viruses, social engineering schemes and other means of unauthorized access to our systems.
The security controls over sensitive or confidential information and other practices we and our third-party vendors follow may not prevent the improper access to, disclosure of, or loss of such information. We may fail to implement practices and procedures that comply with increasing international and domestic privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulations or the California Consumer Privacy Act. Failure to protect the integrity and security of such confidential and/or proprietary information could expose us to regulatory fines, litigation, contractual liability, damage to our reputation and increased compliance costs.
A data breach, or improper disclosure of, or access to our clients’ information could materially harm our business.
Our temporary workers and employees may have access to or exposure to confidential information about applicants, candidates, temporary workers, other employees and clients. The security controls over sensitive or confidential information and other practices we, clients and our third-party vendors follow may not prevent the improper access to, disclosure of, or loss of such information. Failure to protect the integrity and security of such confidential and/or proprietary information could expose us to regulatory fines, litigation, contractual liability, damage to our reputation and increased compliance costs.
Our facilities, operations and information technology systems are vulnerable to damage and interruption.
Our primary computer systems, headquarters, support facilities and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, employee errors, security breaches, natural disasters and catastrophic events. Failure of our systems or damage to our facilities may cause significant interruption to our business, and require significant additional capital and management resources to resolve, causing material harm to our business.
Acquisitions and new business initiatives may have an adverse effect on our business.
We expect to continue making acquisitions, adjusting the composition of our business lines, and entering into new business initiatives as part of our business strategy. This strategy may be impeded, however, and we may not achieve our long-term growth goals if we cannot identify suitable acquisition candidates or new business initiatives, or if acquisition candidates are not available under acceptable terms.
Future acquisitions could result in incurring additional debt and contingent liabilities, an increase in interest expense, amortization expense, and charges related to integration costs. Additional indebtedness could also include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations. We may also issue equity securities to pay for an acquisition, which could result in dilution to our shareholders. Any acquisitions we announce could be viewed negatively by investors, which may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Acquisitions can also result in the addition of goodwill and intangible assets to our financial statements, which we regularly review for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We may be required to record a significant charge in our financial statements during the period in which we determine an impairment of our acquired goodwill and intangible assets has occurred, which would negatively impact our financial results.
New business initiatives and changes in the composition of our business mix can be distracting to our management and disruptive to our operations, causing our business and results of operations to suffer materially. We may have difficulty managing growth or integrating acquired companies into our operating, financial planning, and financial reporting systems. Acquisitions and new business initiatives, including initiatives outside of our workforce solutions business, in new markets, or new geographies, could involve significant unanticipated challenges and risks including not advancing our business strategy, not realizing our anticipated return on our investment, experiencing difficulty in implementing initiatives or integrating acquired operations, or directing management’s attention from our other businesses. The potential loss of key executives, employees, clients, suppliers, vendors, and other business partners of businesses we acquire may adversely impact the value of the assets, operations, or business we acquire. These events could cause material harm to our business, operating results, or financial condition.
Our results of operations could materially deteriorate if we fail to attract, develop and retain qualified employees.
Our performance is dependent on attracting and retaining qualified employees who are able to meet the needs of our clients. We believe our competitive advantage is providing unique solutions for each individual client, which requires us to have trained and engaged employees. Our success depends upon our ability to attract, develop and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees, including management, sales, recruiting, service and administrative personnel. The turnover rate in the employment services industry is high, and qualified individuals of the requisite caliber and number needed to fill these positions may be in short supply. Our inability to recruit, train and motivate a sufficient number of qualified individuals may delay or affect the speed and quality of our strategy execution and planned growth. Delayed expansion, significant increases in employee turnover rates, or significant increases in labor costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may have additional tax liabilities that exceed our estimates.
We are subject to federal taxes, a multitude of state and local taxes in the United States, and taxes in foreign jurisdictions. We face continued uncertainty surrounding the recent 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and any reduction or change in tax credits which we utilize, such as the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. In the ordinary course of our business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are regularly subject to audit by tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could materially harm our business. The taxing authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge our methodologies for valuing intercompany arrangements or may change their laws, which could increase our worldwide effective tax rate and harm our financial position and results of operations.
We cannot guarantee that we will repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program or that our share repurchase program will enhance long-term shareholder value.
In September 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program. Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $100 million, excluding fees, commissions and other ancillary expenses. Although the Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program, the share repurchase program does not obligate the company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares. The timing
and amount of the repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of the company’s common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The repurchase program may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. In addition, repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program could affect our stock price and increase its volatility. The existence of a share repurchase program could cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our stock. Additionally, our share repurchase program could diminish our cash reserves, which may impact our ability to finance future growth and to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions. There can be no assurance that these share repurchases will enhance shareholder value because the market price of our common stock may decline below the level at which we repurchased shares of stock. Although our share repurchase programsprogram is intended to enhance long-term shareholder value, there is no assurance that it will do so and short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the program’s effectiveness.
Failure to maintain adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead to errors in our financial reporting.
If our management is unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls, including those over our third partythird-party vendors, or if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot render an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, or if material weaknesses in our internal controls are identified, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause our stock price to fall.
Outsourcing certain aspects of our business could result in disruption and increased costs.
We have outsourced certain aspects of our business to third-party vendors that subject us to risks including disruptions in our business and increased costs. For example, we have engaged third parties to host and manage certain aspects of our data center, information and technology infrastructure, mobile applications, and electronic pay solutions, to provide certain back office support activities, and to support business process outsourcing for our clients. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks associated with the vendors’ ability to provide these services in a manner that meetmeets our needs. If the cost of these services is more than expected, if we or the vendors are unable to adequately protect our data and information is lost, or if our ability to deliver our services is interrupted, then our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted.
If our acquired intangible assets become impaired we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.
We regularly review acquired intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances, indicating that the carrying value of the intangible assets may not be recoverable, include: macroeconomic conditions, such as deterioration in general economic conditions; industry and market considerations, such as deterioration in the environment in which we operate; cost factors, such as increases in labor or other costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; our financial performance, such as negative or declining cash flows or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods; other relevant entity-specific events, such as changes in management, key personnel, strategy, or clients; and sustained decreases in share price. We may be required to record a significant charge in our financial statements during the period in which we determine an impairment of our acquired intangible assets has occurred, therefore negatively impacting our financial results.
Our stock price may be volatile.
Our stock price has experienced substantial fluctuation based on a variety of factors, several of which are beyond our control. Some of these factors include general economic conditions; actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; changes or volatility in the financial markets; announcements by our competitors related to new services or acquisitions; and shareholder activism. Fluctuations in our stock price could mean that investors will not be able to sell their shares at or above the price they paid and may impair our ability in the future to offer common stock as a source of additional capital.
We face risks in operating internationally.
A portion of our business operations and support functions are located outside of the United States. These international operations are subject to a number of risks, including political and economic conditions in those foreign countries, foreign currency fluctuations, the burden of complying with various foreign laws and technical standards, and unpredictable changes in foreign regulations, U.S. legal requirements governing U.S. companies operating in foreign countries, legal and cultural differences in the conduct of business, potential adverse tax consequences and difficulty in staffing and managing international operations. We recently acquired operations in the United Kingdom, which could be negatively impacted as clients in the United Kingdom encounter uncertainties related to the potential exit from the European Union. We could also be exposed to fines and penalties under U.S. or local jurisdictionforeign laws prohibiting improper payments to governmental officials and others for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, we cannot be sure that our employees, contractors or agents will not violate such policies. Any such violations could materially damage
our reputation, brands, business and operating results. Further, changes in U.S. laws and policies governing foreign investment and use of foreign operations or workers, and any negative sentiments towards the United States as a result of such changes, could adversely affect the our operations.
Foreign currency fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
We report our results of operations in U.S. dollars. The majority of our revenues are generated in the United States. Our international operations are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have an adverse effect on our reported financial results. Increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies could affect our revenues, operating profit and the value of balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to foreign currencies could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flow and/or results of operations. Furthermore, the volatility of currencies may impact year-over-year comparability.
