TrueBlue Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Gross margin strength drives bottom-line results

TrueBlue (NYSE:TBI) today announced its third quarter results for 2022.

Third quarter revenue was $576 million, roughly flat compared to revenue of $577 million in the third quarter of 2021. Net income per diluted share was $0.63 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.53 in the third quarter of 2021. Third quarter adjusted net income1 per diluted share was $0.75 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.59 in the third quarter of 2021.

“Given the uncertainty businesses face regarding their workforce needs, we are pleased with our results this quarter,” said Steve Cooper, CEO of TrueBlue. “While demand slowed, we filled a higher proportion of orders due to continued improvement in worker supply. Tight labor pools are playing to our favor with the strongest bill/pay spreads in recent history resulting in higher operating income and related margin.

“Over the near-term, we believe economic uncertainty will increase and demand for our services will soften,” continued Mr. Cooper. “Ultimately, we see secular strength for our workforce solutions. We expect low labor participation rates and an increasing preference to work from home to further constrain blue-collar labor supply. We will continue to invest in our operational and technology strengths to ensure we are well-positioned for the economic recovery and beyond.”

2022 Outlook

TrueBlue is providing certain forward-looking information to help investors form their own estimates, which can be found in the quarterly earnings presentation filed today.

Management will discuss third quarter 2022 results on a webcast at 2:30 p.m. PT (5:30 p.m. ET), today, Monday, Oct. 24, 2022. The webcast can be accessed on TrueBlue’s website: www.trueblue.com.
