Latest News by Industry
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 4, 2023--
Resources Connection, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGP) (the “Company”), a global consulting firm, today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended November 26, 2022.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights Compared to the Prior Year Quarter:
Management Commentary
“Our strong performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, especially continued top line growth and gross margin improvement over a very robust prior year comparative, validates our business model and our clients’ migration toward value-oriented partners,” said Kate W. Duchene, chief executive officer. “We have continued to grow top line and improve our profitability to levels not experienced since 2008. In today’s marketplace, many companies face skillset gaps and lack project management and change management expertise to deliver on mission critical initiatives. We are a well-positioned and compelling partner to solve these talent and execution challenges in the world’s most recognized companies. Our consultants are experts who execute bringing experience, judgment and efficiency to the delivery of our solutions. In addition, digital transformation initiatives continue to drive demand in our Veracity business across new clients and the traditional RGP client base. While some client segments are delaying budgeted initiatives to the new calendar year, our pipeline remains healthy and strong. We acknowledge the challenges presented by the overall macro economy in 2023 but we remain cautiously optimistic about our opportunities to get breadth and depth in our blue chip client base as we move further into calendar 2023.”
Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
The Company produced a strong revenue performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as it benefited from solid operational execution and stable demand despite the uncertainties of the macro environment. In addition, the labor market remains tight which serves to support the Company’s business in a slowing global economy. There was healthy year-over-year growth in strategic client accounts as well as in core solution areas including finance and accounting, technology and digital, offsetting certain areas that were softer. The Company’s billable hours in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were off 0.7% due to the divestiture of taskforce at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, while average bill rate increased by 0.8%, or 2.4% on a constant currency basis over the prior year quarter. The year-over-year improvement in average bill rate is attributable to an ongoing focus on value-based pricing. Excluding taskforce billable hours increased by 1.4% while average bill rate increased by 4.0% on a constant currency basis. Revenue excluding taskforce grew from $193.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 to $200.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, or 5.7% on a same-day constant currency basis.
Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 41.1%, up from 39.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily due to a 270 basis point improvement in pay/bill ratio driven by ongoing efforts to enhance pricing while offering competitive consultant wages. Also contributing to the improvement in pay/bill ratio was the divestiture of taskforce, which historically had a less favorable pay/bill ratio compared to the core RGP business. This positive impact was partially offset by a rise in employee-related benefits, primarily vacation and self-insured medical costs.
SG&A for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $56.8 million, or 28.3% of revenue, compared to $56.9 million, or 28.4% of revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, reflecting a slight improvement of 10 basis points. The improvement in SG&A year over year was primarily related to lower bonus and commissions as a result of more moderate growth in the business, offset by an increase in technology transformation costs and general and administrative expenses to support business growth including management compensation and benefits and travel expenses.
Income tax expense was $5.9 million (an effective tax rate of 25.2%), compared to $5.6 million (an effective tax rate of 28.0%) in the prior year quarter. The change in effective tax rate resulted largely from higher pre-tax income in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 while permanent book to tax differences were more favorable due to higher income tax benefits associated with the vesting of employee stock awards and interest income associated with an income tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service.
With steady revenue and improvement in gross margin, net income increased to $17.4 million (net income margin of 8.7%) for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $14.3 million (net income margin of 7.1%) in the prior year quarter. The Company delivered a record second quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.8%, an improvement of 230 basis points from the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess our financial and operating performance that are not defined by, or calculated in accordance with, GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that (i) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Consolidated Statements of Operations; or (ii) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the comparable GAAP measure so calculated and presented. The following non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release:

These are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for revenue, net income or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP for purposes of analyzing our revenue, profitability or liquidity. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenue, net income, earnings per share, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently.

(1) | Technology transformation costs represent costs included in net income related to the Company’s initiative to upgrade its technology platform globally, including a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system and talent acquisition and management system.

(1) | Technology transformation costs represent costs included in net income related to the Company’s initiative to upgrade its technology platform globally, including a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system and talent acquisition and management system. Such costs primarily include software licensing costs, third-party consulting fees and costs associated with dedicated internal resources that are not capitalized. | |
(2) | The Company substantially completed the Restructuring Plans in fiscal 2021. All employee termination and facility exit costs incurred under the Restructuring Plans were considered completed as of August 27, 2022, as a result, the remaining accrued restructuring liability on the books was released. |
Segment Results
On May 31, 2022, the Company divested taskforce – Management on Demand GmbH, and its wholly owned subsidiary skillforce – Executive Search GmbH, a German professional services firm operating under the taskforce brand (“ taskforce ” ). Since the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the business operated by taskforce, along with its parent company, Resources Global Professionals (Germany) GmbH, an affiliate of the Company, represented an operating segment of the Company and was reported as a part of Other Segments. Effective May 31, 2022, the Company’s operating segments consist of RGP and Sitrick. Prior-period comparative segment information was not restated as a result of the divestiture of taskforce as the Company did not have a change in internal organization or the financial information that the Chief Operating Decision Maker uses to assess performance and allocate resources.
RGP is the Company’s only operating segment that meets the quantitative threshold of a reportable segment. Sitrick does not individually meet the quantitative threshold to qualify as a reportable segment. Therefore, Sitrick is disclosed in Other Segments.
The following table discloses the Company’s revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by segment for each of the periods presented (in thousands):
