RESOURCES CONNECTION, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
Description of the Company and its Business
Resources Connection, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on November 16, 1998. The Company’s operating entities provide services primarily under the name Resources Global Professionals (“RGP”). RGP is a global professional services firm with three decades of experience helping the world’s top organizations navigate change and seize opportunity. With three integrated offerings—On-Demand Talent, Consulting, and Outsourced Services—the Company provides CFOs and other C-suite leaders with the flexibility to solve today’s most pressing challenges. The Company’s principal markets of operations are North America, Europe & Asia Pacific.
The Company’s fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Saturday in May closest to May 31. The second quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025 each consisted of 13 weeks. The Company’s fiscal year 2026 will consist of 52 weeks.
Company Management Changes
On October 30, 2025, the Board appointed Roger Carlile, a director of the Company, to succeed Kate W. Duchene as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), effective November 3, 2025. Concurrently, in October 2025, the Company's Board of Directors elected not to renew the "Period of Employment" under the Company's existing Employment Agreement, dated February 3, 2020 and as subsequently amended, with Ms. Duchene (the "Duchene Employment Agreement"), the Company's former President and CEO. Ms. Duchene stepped down as the Company’s President and CEO, and as a member of the Board, on November 2, 2025. She served as an Executive Advisor through January 3, 2026 to assist the Company and its new President and CEO with the continuity of leadership.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions used as new information is learned or upon the amounts becoming fixed or determinable.
The fiscal 2025 year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
9
GAAP have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules or regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
A complete listing of the Company’s significant accounting policies is discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal Year 2025 Form 10-K.
Reporting Segments
The Company's reportable segments are comprised of On-Demand Talent, Consulting, Europe & Asia Pacific, and Outsourced Services. Sitrick, a crisis communications and public relations firm, does not individually meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as a reportable segment. Therefore, Sitrick is disclosed under the “All Other” segment. See Note 13 — Segment Information and Enterprise Reporting in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these segments. Each segment reports through separate segment managers to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, who are collectively designated as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for segment reporting purposes. Each of these segments represents a reporting unit for the purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates substantially all of its revenues from providing professional consulting services to its clients. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised service is transferred to the Company’s clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for the services rendered. Revenue is recorded net of sales or other transaction taxes collected from clients and remitted to taxing authorities. Revenues for the vast majority of the Company's contracts are recognized over time, based on hours worked by the Company’s professionals. The performance of the agreed-to service over time is the single performance obligation for revenues. Certain clients may receive discounts (for example, volume discounts or rebates) to the amounts billed. These discounts or rebates are considered variable consideration. Management evaluates the facts and circumstances of each contract and client relationship to estimate the variable consideration assessing the most likely amount to recognize and considering management’s expectation of the volume of services to be provided over the applicable period. Rebates are the largest component of variable consideration and are estimated using the most-likely-amount method, contracts terms and estimates of revenue. Revenues are recognized net of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenues will not occur in subsequent periods.
On a limited basis, the Company may have fixed-price contracts, for which revenues are recognized over time using the input method based on time incurred as a proportion of estimated total time. Time incurred represents work performed, which corresponds with, and therefore best depicts, the transfer of control to the client. Management uses significant judgments when estimating the total hours expected to complete the contract performance obligation. It is possible that updated estimates for consulting engagements may vary from initial estimates with such updates being recognized in the period of determination. Depending on the timing of billings and services rendered, the Company accrues or defers revenue as appropriate.
The Company recognizes revenues primarily on a gross basis as it acts as a principal for primarily all of its revenue transactions. The Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because it controls the services before they are transferred to the customers. The Company a) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified consultants; b) has the discretion to select the consultants and establish the price and responsibilities for services to be provided; c) is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the service to the customer; and d) bears the risk for services provided that are not fully paid for by clients. The Company recognizes all reimbursements received from clients for “out-of-pocket” expenses as revenue and all such expenses as cost of services.
10
Commissions earned by the Company’s sales professionals are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred as the expected amortization period is one year or less. Sales commissions are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s clients are contractually obligated to pay the Company for all hours billed. The Company invoices most of its clients on a weekly basis or, in certain circumstances, on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, and its typical arrangement of payment is due within 30 days. To a much lesser extent, in certain circumstances, the Company also earns revenue if one of its consultants is hired by, or if the Company places an outside candidate with, its client. Conversion fees or permanent placement fees are recognized when one of the Company’s professionals, or a candidate identified by the Company, accepts an offer of permanent employment from a client and all requisite terms of the agreement have been met. Such conversion fees or permanent placement fees are recognized when the performance obligation is considered complete, which the Company considers a) when the consultant or candidate accepts the position; b) the consultant or candidate has notified either the Company or their current employer of their decision; and c) the start date is within the Company’s current quarter.
Per Share Information
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include the assumed exercise of outstanding in-the-money stock options, assumed issuance of common stock under the Company's 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (“ESPP”), assumed release of outstanding restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) using the treasury stock method. However, potentially dilutive shares of common stock are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect.
During the three and six months ended November 29, 2025 and November 23, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss, and as a result potentially dilutive common shares issuable from the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed release of shares of common stock under the outstanding ESPP, RSAs, RSUs, and PSUs awards were not included in the diluted shares used to calculate net loss per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the calculation of net loss per common share for the three and six months ended November 29, 2025 and November 23, 2024 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates it will receive in connection with the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs.
Long-lived Assets
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recorded at the time of an acquisition and is calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but the carrying value is tested for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. There were no
Impairment testing is conducted at the reporting unit level. Under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the qualitative assessment requires the consideration of factors such as recent market transactions, macroeconomic conditions, and changes in projected future cash flows or planned revenue or earnings of the reporting unit as potential indicators when determining the need for a quantitative assessment of impairment.
Under the quantitative analysis, the fair value of the reporting units is determined by using a market-based approach, an income-based approach or a combination thereof. The market-based approach estimates fair value by applying revenue and EBITDA multiples to each reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from guideline public companies with similar operating and investment characteristics to the Company's reporting units, and are evaluated and adjusted, if needed, based on specific characteristics of the reporting units relative to the selected guideline companies. The market-based approach requires the Company to make a series of assumptions that involve significant judgment, such as the selection of comparable companies and the evaluation of the multiples. The income-based approach estimates fair value based on estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects the relevant risks associated with each reporting unit and the time value of money. The income approach also requires a series of assumptions that involve significant judgment, such as revenue projections and Adjusted EBITDA margin projections, which are based on historical experience and internal forecasts about future performance.
12
While the Company believes that the assumptions underlying its quantitative assessment are reasonable, these assumptions could have a significant impact on whether a non-cash impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of such charge. The results of an impairment analysis are as of a point in time. There is no assurance that the actual future earnings or cash flows of the reporting units will be consistent with the Company’s projections.
See Note 5 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information.
Capitalized Hosting Arrangements
The capitalized hosting arrangements costs are primarily related to the Company's implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system and talent acquisition and management system. Such costs include third party implementation costs and costs associated with internal resources directly involved in the implementation. Capitalized hosting arrangements are stated at historical cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of the expected term of the hosting arrangement, taking into consideration several other factors such as, but not limited to, options to extend the hosting arrangement or options to terminate the hosting arrangement. The amortization of capitalized implementation costs for hosting arrangements will commence when the systems are ready for their intended use and will be presented as operating expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations consistent with the presentation for expensing the fees for the associated hosting arrangement.
As of November 29, 2025 and May 31, 2025, the capitalized costs related to hosting arrangements, net of accumulated amortization, were $17.4 million and $19.0 million, respectively. These capitalized hosting arrangements are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company incurred $0.8 million and $1.6 million of amortization expense during the three and six months ended November 29, 2025, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million of amortization expense during the three and six months ended November 23, 2024, respectively, related to these arrangements.
Share Repurchases and Retirement of Treasury Shares
The Company’s stock repurchase programs authorize the Company to repurchase shares at the discretion of the Company’s senior executives based on numerous factors, including, without limitation, share price and other market conditions, the Company’s ongoing capital allocation planning, the levels of cash and debt balances, and other demands for cash. The Company records the shares repurchased as treasury stock based on the amount paid to repurchase its shares. Direct costs incurred to acquire treasury stock are treated like stock issue costs and added to the cost of the treasury stock.
The Company accounts for the retirement of treasury shares using the par-value method under which the cost of repurchased and retired treasury shares in excess of the par value is allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. When the repurchase price is greater than the original issue proceeds, the excess is charged to retained earnings. The Company uses the weighted-average cost flow assumption to identify and assign the original issue proceeds to the cost of the repurchased and retired treasury shares. The Company believes that this allocation method is preferable because it more accurately reflects its paid-in capital balances by allocating the cost of the repurchased and retired treasury shares to paid-in capital in proportion to paid-in capital associated with the original issuance of those shares.

Restructuring charges incurred by the Company are associated with cost optimization initiatives and consist primarily of severance costs for reductions in force and professional fees incurred in connection with the initiative. The Company evaluates the nature of the severance costs to determine if they relate to ongoing benefit arrangements, which are accounted for under ASC 712, Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits ("ASC 712"), or one-time benefit arrangements, which are accounted for under ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The Company records a liability for ongoing employee termination benefits when it is probable that an employee is entitled to them and the amount of the benefit can be reasonably estimated. One-time employee termination costs are recognized when management has

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025-11"), which clarifies interim disclosure requirements by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The standard is intended to help entities determine whether disclosures not specified in Topic 270 should be provided in interim reporting periods. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-11 on its financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"), which removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as "project stages"). An entity will be required to start capitalizing software costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the "probable-to-complete recognition threshold"). ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods in those years. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. The Company currently expects to adopt this guidance in its fiscal year beginning May 31, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-05 on its financial statements and disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance in the fiscal year ending May 30, 2026 and expects to implement the related income tax disclosure requirements in its annual report on Form 10-K. The Company does not anticipate the adopted guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements for public entities primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit. This guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025. For additional information, refer to Note 13 – Segment Information and Enterprise Reporting.
3. Revenues
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections affects the recognition of trade accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities.
Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration for completed performance under the contract (i.e., unbilled receivables), in which the Company has transferred control of the product or services before there is an
14
unconditional right to payment. Contract assets were $23.8 million and $30.7 million as of November 29, 2025 and May 31, 2025, respectively, which were included in trade accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract liabilities represent deferred revenue when cash is received in advance of performance of services and are presented in other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities were $7.5 million and $4.3 million as of November 29, 2025 and May 31, 2025, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended November 29, 2025 that was included in deferred revenue as of May 31, 2025 was $1.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended November 23, 2024 that was included in deferred revenue as of May 25, 2024 was $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
4. Acquisitions
Acquisition of Reference Point
On July 1, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Reference Point and the holder of all the outstanding membership interests of Reference Point, in which the Company acquired 100 % of the membership interests of Reference Point. Reference Point is a strategy, management, and technology consulting firm serving the financial services sector across four areas of focus: Strategy & Management, Risk & Regulatory Compliance, Digital & Technology and Data & Analytics. The Company paid cash consideration of $23.2 million (net of $0.2 million cash acquired).
Results of operations of Reference Point are included within the Consulting Services operating segment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. During the three and six months ended November 29, 2025, the Company incurred $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in acquisition costs consisting primarily of employee compensation costs related to the acquired business. During the three and six months ended November 23, 2024, the Company incurred $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in acquisition costs, including professional services fees incurred in connection with the transaction and employee compensation costs. Acquisition costs were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company made an allocation of the purchase price for Reference Point based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the residual amount recorded as goodwill. The Company’s purchase price allocation considered a number of factors, including the valuation of identifiable intangible assets. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded total intangible assets consisting of $14.4 million for customer relationships (to be amortized over 12 years), $0.7 million related to a non-compete agreement (to be amortized over 5 years) and $0.6 million for trade name (to be amortized over 1 year). The Company also recorded $6.9 million of goodwill, which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Reference Point.
The following table summarizes the consideration for the acquisition of Reference Point and the amounts of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
As described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company performs its annual impairment test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter, unless indicators of impairment exist, at which point the Company may perform interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis. There were no impairment indicators for the three months ended November 29, 2025 and as such, the Company did not perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
Second Quarter 2025 Interim Impairment Assessments
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease in market capitalization and slower-than-expected recovery in the On-Demand Talent and Europe & Asia Pacific segments triggered a goodwill impairment assessment. Using a combination of income-based and market-based approaches to determine the fair value of its reporting units with goodwill, the Company determined that the carrying values of On-Demand Talent and Europe & Asia Pacific segments exceeded their fair values. As a result, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $79.5 million was recorded, comprised of the excess in carrying value over fair value of $48.4 million for On-Demand Talent and $21.7 million for Europe & Asia Pacific, as well as $9.3 million related to deferred tax impacts from the charges recorded in the On-Demand Talent segment.
First Quarter 2025 Interim Impairment Assessment
During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, concurrent with the change in the Company’s operating segments, which were aligned to the Company’s reporting units and reportable segments, the Company allocated goodwill to each of its reporting units under the new organizational structure on a relative fair value basis. The Company estimated the fair values of the reporting units based on the income-based approach. The income-based approach was based on the present value of discounted cash flows of each reporting unit, using the Company’s assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, forecasted gross profit margins, forecasted earnings and free cash flows, terminal period growth rates, and other economic and market trends. Additionally, the present value was based on applying a weighted average cost of capital, which considered long-term interest rates and cost of equity based on the reporting segment’s risk profile. As a result of the analysis, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.9 million was recorded for the excess in carrying value over fair value of the Europe & Asia Pacific segment.
16
In performing the goodwill impairment assessments, the Company considered the assumptions used in determining the estimated fair values of its reporting units to be reasonable and appropriate. However, the assumptions are complex and subjective, and additional adverse changes in a key assumption or a combination of key assumptions may significantly affect the Company’s assessment of the fair value and goodwill impairment. These assumptions include, among other things, a failure to meet expected earnings or other financial plans; changes in the discount rate, the terminal growth rate or tax rates; or significant changes in industry or economic trends. If the assumptions noted above adversely change, negative macroeconomic conditions worsen or the Company’s market capitalization decreases for a sustained period of time, the Company may be required to perform an additional impairment analysis that could result in additional impairment charges and materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended November 29, 2025 and all goodwill on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet is allocated to the Outsourced Services segment.

7. Long-Term Debt
On July 2, 2025, the Company, Resources Connection LLC, as borrowers, and all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, L/C issuer and the swingline lender (the “2025 Credit Facility”), and concurrently terminated the 2021 Credit Facility (as defined below). The 2025 Credit Facility provides for a secured revolving loan, available in an
18
amount up to the lesser of $50.0 million and a borrowing base formula tied to eligible receivables, which includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. The 2025 Credit Facility also includes an option to increase the amount of the revolving loan up to an additional $15.0 million. The 2025 Credit Facility will mature on November 30, 2029. The obligations under the 2025 Credit Facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, Resources Connection LLC and all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
Entry into the 2025 Credit Facility was accounted for as a modification or extinguishment for certain lenders in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. Accordingly, debt issuance costs of $0.3 million will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the 2025 Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company recognized $0.1 million for the write-off of original debt issuance costs associated with the modification within interest expense during the six months ended November 29, 2025.
Borrowings under the 2025 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum of either, at the Company's election (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the 2025 Credit Facility) plus a margin ranging from 1.25 % to 2.50 % or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2025 Credit Facility), plus a margin of 0.25 % to 1.50 %, in either case, with the applicable margin depending on the Company's Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2025 Credit Facility). The Company is also obligated to pay other customary facility fees for a credit facility of this size and type.
The 2025 Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and make dispositions of assets and financial covenants to maintain a certain consolidated total net leverage ratio and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the 2025 Credit Facility, the lender may cease making loans, terminate the 2025 Credit Facility, and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The 2025 Credit Facility specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults.
Prior to July 2, 2025, the Company had a revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement dated November 12, 2021 by and among the Company and Resources Connection LLC, as borrowers, all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, the lenders that are party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent for the lenders (the “2021 Credit Facility”). The 2021 Credit Facility was originally set to mature on November 12, 2026; however it was terminated on July 2, 2025 in connection with entering into the 2025 Credit Facility.
As of November 29, 2025, the Company was compliant with all financial covenants under the 2025 Credit Facility. The Company had no debt outstanding under the 2025 Credit Facility as of November 29, 2025 and no debt outstanding under the 2021 Credit Facility as of May 31, 2025. However, the Company had $0.7 million and $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit issued as of November 29, 2025 and May 31, 2025, respectively, under the 2025 Credit Facility and the 2021 Credit Facility, respectively. As of November 29, 2025, there was up to $49.3 million of potential remaining capacity under the 2025 Credit Facility subject to the terms of the 2025 Credit Facility and related financial covenants.
8. Income Taxes
For the three months ended November 29, 2025, the Company's income tax expense was $0.7 million with an effective tax rate of 6.0 %, and for the three months ended November 23, 2024, the Company's income tax benefit was $7.7 million with an effective tax rate of 10.1 %.
For the six months ended November 29, 2025 the Company's income tax expense was $1.2 million with an effective tax rate of 8.6 %, and for the six months ended November 23, 2024, the Company's income tax benefit was
19
$6.7 million with an effective tax rate of 8.2 %. The income tax expense in fiscal 2026 was primarily attributable to income tax expense from profitable foreign jurisdictions, while losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions do not result in a tax benefit due to the existence of valuation allowances. The income tax benefit in fiscal 2025 was primarily attributed to the Company’s consolidated pretax loss, reduced by the permanent disallowance of a portion of the goodwill impairment for tax purposes.
Due to the sensitivity of the estimated annual effective tax rate to changes in estimated annual pretax results, the Company determined that the discrete method, whereby the year-to-date actual effective tax rate is applied, is the appropriate approach in its computation of the interim tax provision for the current fiscal year, as the use of the estimated annual effective tax rate would provide a distortive result.
The Company’s total liability for unrecognized gross tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, was $1.2 million as of November 29, 2025 and $1.1 million as of May 31, 2025, which, if ultimately recognized, would impact the effective tax rate in future periods. There is a possibility that the unrecognized gross tax benefits of $1.2 million will be recognized within the next 12 months due to the expiration of a statute of limitation. The unrecognized tax benefits are included in other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. None
9. Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company’s Board of Directors has previously approved two stock repurchase programs authorizing the repurchase, at the discretion of the Company’s senior executives, of the Company’s common stock for a designated aggregate dollar limit. In July 2015, the first program was authorized for an aggregate dollar limit not to exceed $150 million, and in October 2024, the second program was authorized for an additional dollar limit not to exceed $50 million (collectively, the “Stock Repurchase Programs”). Subject to the aggregate dollar limits, the currently authorized Stock Repurchase Programs do not have an expiration date. Repurchases under the programs may take place in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and may be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan. No 79.2 million remained available for future repurchases of the Company’s common stock under the Stock Repurchase Programs. During the three months ended November 23, 2024, the Company repurchased 598,031 shares of its common stock on the open market at an average price of $8.36 per share, for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $5.0 million. During the six months ended November 23, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,028,315 shares of its common stock on the open market at an average price of $9.72 per share, for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $10.0 million.
Quarterly Dividend
Subject to approval each quarter by the Company's Board of Directors, the Company pays a regular dividend. On October 16, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend was paid on December 12, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2025. As of November 29, 2025 and May 31, 2025, $2.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, were accrued and recorded in other current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets for dividends declared but not yet paid. Continuation of the quarterly dividend is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business condition, contractual restrictions contained in the 2025 Credit Facility and other agreements, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
10. Restructuring and Transformation Initiative
In the first half of fiscal 2026, the Company began a transformation initiative to redesign and streamline its operating model to achieve a reduced cost structure, as well as integrating Reference Point's consulting capabilities into the existing consulting business to form a more cohesive consulting segment (the "2026 Transformation Initiative"). As part of this initiative, the Company engaged a third-party advisor to assist it in conducting a comprehensive review of its global operations. In October 2025, in connection with this effort, the Company began certain workforce reductions affecting management and administrative roles, aimed at improving efficiency, reducing costs and streamlining operations. Activity under the 2026 Transformation Initiative represents ongoing benefit arrangements, which are accounted for under ASC
20
712. The Company incurred employee termination costs associated with the 2026 Transformation Initiative, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended November 29, 2025. Restructuring costs were $2.9 0.8 2.1
The Company expects its transformation efforts to continue through the remainder of fiscal 2026, though the scope, timing, and impact of such actions may evolve as the review progresses. As a result, additional amounts expected to be incurred can not be estimated as of November 29, 2025.
11. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
General
The Company's stockholders approved the Resources Connection, Inc. 2020 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) on October 22, 2020, which replaced and succeeded in its entirety the Resources Connection, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). On October 17, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2020 Plan, which increased the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan by 815,000 shares. Executive officers and certain employees, as well as non-employee directors of the Company and certain consultants and advisors are eligible to participate in the 2020 Plan. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2020 Plan equals: (1) 815,000 shares, plus (2) 1,797,440 (which represents the number of shares that were available for additional award grant purposes under the 2014 Plan immediately prior to the termination of the authority to grant new awards under the 2014 Plan as of October 22, 2020), plus (3) the number of any shares subject to stock options granted under the 2014 Plan or the Resources Connection, Inc. 2004 Performance Incentive Plan (together with the 2014 Plan, the “Prior Plans”) and outstanding as of October 22, 2020 which expire, or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, after that date without being exercised, plus (4) the number of any shares subject to RSA and RSU awards granted under the Prior Plans that are outstanding and unvested as of October 22, 2020 which are forfeited, terminated, cancelled, or otherwise reacquired after that date without having become vested.
Awards under the 2020 Plan may include, but are not limited to, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance stock, stock units, stock bonuses and other forms of awards granted or denominated in shares of common stock or units of common stock, as well as certain cash bonus awards. Historically, the Company has granted RSA, RSUs and stock option awards under the 2020 Plan that typically vest in equal annual installments, and PSU awards under the 2020 Plan that vest upon the achievement of certain Company-wide performance targets at the end of the defined performance period. Stock option grants typically terminate ten years from the date of grant. Vesting periods for RSA, RSU and stock option awards range from to four years . The performance period for the PSU awards is three years . As of November 29, 2025, there were 1,630,591 shares available for further award grants under the 2020 Plan (with outstanding PSUs counted for this purpose based on the target number of shares granted).
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on time-vesting equity awards ratably over the applicable vesting period based on the grant date fair value, net of estimated forfeitures. Expense related to the liability-classified awards reflects the change in fair value during the reporting period. The number of PSUs earned at the end of the performance period may equal, exceed or be less than the targeted number of shares depending on whether the performance criteria are met, surpassed or not met. During each reporting period, the Company uses the latest forecasted results to
21
estimate the number of shares to be issued at the end of the performance period. Any resulting changes to stock compensation expense are adjusted in the period in which the change in estimates occur.
Stock-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses was $4.7 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended November 29, 2025 and November 23, 2024, respectively, and $7.0 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended November 29, 2025 and November 23, 2024, respectively. These amounts consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, RSAs, RSU awards and PSU awards under the 2020 Plan and Prior Plans, employee stock purchases made via the ESPP, and stock units credited under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended November 29, 2025 also included the impact of accelerated expense recognition of stock awards related to the separation of the Company's former CEO pursuant to ASC 718.
Stock-Based Award Acceleration
In connection with the separation of the Company's former CEO, Ms. Duchene's then-outstanding and unvested equity awards will accelerate and vest upon her termination date of January 3, 2026, provided that certain conditions under the Transition Agreement are met. Her outstanding PSUs will vest based on the applicable “target” number of shares subject to the award. The Company recognized all remaining fair value of Ms. Duchene's unvested equity awards in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, which totaled $3.1 million and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources for three and six months ended November 29, 2025 should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion and analysis contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical facts. For example, statements discussing, among other things, expectations regarding our operating segments, expectations regarding the macroeconomic environment, expected costs and liabilities, business strategies, growth strategies and initiatives, future revenues and future performance, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecast,” “future,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “remain,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” or “will” or similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will” and “would,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such statements include statements regarding our growth, operational and strategic plans.
Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this report, these statements and all phases of our operations are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements and those of our industry to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: risks related to an economic downturn or deterioration of general macroeconomic conditions, potential adverse effects to our and our clients' liquidity and financial performances from bank failures or other events affecting financial institutions, the highly competitive nature of the market for professional services, risks related to the loss of a significant number of our consultants, or an inability to attract and retain new consultants, the possible impact on our business from the loss of the services of one or more key members of our senior management or key sales professionals, risks related to potential significant increases in wages or payroll-related costs, our ability to secure new projects from clients, our ability to achieve or maintain a suitable pay/bill ratio, our ability to compete effectively in the competitive bidding process, risks related to unfavorable provisions in our contracts which may permit our clients to, among other things, terminate the contracts partially or completely at any time prior to completion, our ability to realize the level of benefit that we expect from our restructuring initiatives, risks that our recent digital expansion and technology transformation efforts may not be successful, our ability to use artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning in our business, our ability to build an efficient support structure as our business continues to grow and transform, our ability to grow our business, manage our growth or sustain our current business, our ability to serve clients internationally, additional operational challenges from our international activities, possible disruption of our business from our past and future acquisitions, the possibility that our recent rebranding efforts may not be successful, our potential inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, risks that our computer hardware and software and telecommunications systems are damaged, breached or interrupted, risks related to the failure to comply with data privacy laws and regulations and the adverse effect it may have on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, our ability to comply with governmental, regulatory and legal requirements and company policies, the possible legal liability for damages resulting from the performance of projects by our consultants or for our clients’ mistreatment of our personnel, risks arising from changes in applicable tax laws or adverse results in tax audits or interpretations, the possible adverse effect on our business model from the reclassification of our independent contractors by foreign tax and regulatory authorities, the possible difficulty for a third party to acquire us and resulting depression of our stock price, the operating and financial restrictions from our credit facility, risks related to the variable rate of interest in our credit facility, the possible impact of activist shareholders, the possibility that we are unable to or elect not to pay our quarterly dividend payment, and other factors and uncertainties as are identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025, which was filed on July 28, 2025 ("Fiscal Year 2025 Form 10-K") and our other public filings made with the SEC (File No. 0-32113). Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business or operating results. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update the forward-looking statements in this filing to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law to do so.

Overview
Resources Global Professionals (“RGP,” “we" or “us”) is a global professional services firm based in Dallas, Texas (with offices worldwide) focused on delivering flexible and high-impact solutions to businesses through three integrated offerings, on-demand resourcing, strategic and execution consulting, and fully outsourcing services. As a trusted human capital partner for our clients, we provide CFOs and other C-Suite leaders with the flexibility to solve today's most pressing challenges. Our core capabilities span Enterprise Strategy & Operational Performance; Finance & Accounting; Digital, Technology & Data; and Governance, Risk & Compliance. We attract top-caliber professionals with in-demand skill sets who seek a workplace environment characterized by choice and control, collaboration and human connection. The trends in today’s marketplace favor flexibility and agility as businesses confront transformation pressures and skilled labor shortages in the face of protracted economic uncertainty. Our engagements are designed to leverage a combination of bench and agile talent that are highly experienced to deliver practical solutions and more impactful results.
The Company operates under the following business units: (i) On-Demand Talent, (ii) Consulting, (iii) Europe & Asia Pacific, (iv) Outsourced Services, and (v) Sitrick (disclosed as "All Other").
Fiscal 2026 Strategic Focus Areas
Building upon the foundation we established in fiscal 2025, we are executing upon the following enterprise growth drivers in fiscal 2026:
•Expand cross-sell opportunities through our diversified services platform;
•Scale our high-value Consulting solutions and refocus On-Demand Talent offerings to address the evolving needs of our clients;
•Drive improvement in cost structure; and
•Further leverage value-based pricing to improve profitability.
Expand cross-sell opportunities through our diversified services platform – We offer a unique blend of services in On-Demand Talent, Consulting, and Outsourced Services, enabling high flexibility and high impact solutions for enterprises worldwide. This unique model is designed to meet clients’ evolving needs in a disrupted business environment. Our Consulting capability provides us with deeper visibility into our clients’ transformation agendas to drive greater opportunities for our On-Demand execution capabilities, while our agile talent base within our On-Demand business provides greater financial flexibility and better skill set alignment for our Consulting business. In our Outsourced Services business, we are expanding Countsy’s total addressable market beyond the start-up ecosystem to serve the finance, accounting and human resources needs surrounding spin-outs and carve-outs. In fiscal 2026, we are focused on broadening client relationships by cross-selling across our diversified service offerings and introducing complementary solutions as client needs evolve. We believe this will enable us to deepen our partnerships with CFOs and business leaders, strengthen client retention, and increase wallet share while positioning the Company as a long-term, trusted partner for transformation and performance improvement.
Scale our high-value Consulting solutions and refocus On-Demand offerings to address the evolving needs of our clients – In the volatile and rapidly shifting global economic environment, CFOs and business leaders need partners who combine expertise with flexibility. We will maintain our commitment to building strong relationships with C-suite leaders, to support their organizations’ transformation journeys with specialized on-demand expertise, high-value consulting, and integrated outsourced delivery. The core solutions we will continue to build, integrate (through Reference Point) and scale are: enterprise resource planning ("ERP") and cloud finance systems modernization, financial planning and analysis enhancement, accounting close process optimization, SEC compliance, post acquisitions integration, enterprise risk management, data strategy and analytics, AI adoption and enterprise digital transformation. Concurrent to evolving our solutions to meet market demand, we will also be keenly focused on evolving our talent strategy to modernize and refresh the skillsets within our consultant base, both bench and agile, to serve our clients across On-Demand or Consulting engagements, particularly in the area of technology and AI fluency.
Drive improvement in cost structure – In the face of persistent macro-economic uncertainty and headwinds on client demand, we have prioritized reducing our cost structure and maintaining ongoing cost discipline to deliver improved profitability. During the second quarter of 2026, we began a comprehensive review of our operating model to redesign and streamline our cost structure. In connection with this effort, we acted on certain workforce reductions affecting
30
management and administrative roles, with an expected reduction ranging from $6.0 million to $8.0 million in our annual run rate SG&A. We expect these transformation efforts to continue through the remainder of fiscal 2026, though the scope, timing, and impact of such actions may evolve as the review progresses. Furthermore, we expect to continue to leverage our newly implemented technology to achieve further operating efficiencies.
Further leverage value-based pricing – Building on the progress we made in fiscal 2025, we are continuing to advance our value-based pricing strategy to improve bill rates and pricing leverage, particularly in the Consulting business, as we pursue larger-scale, higher-value engagements that deliver measurable impact for clients.
Fiscal 2026 Developments
Management Changes
Effective November 3, 2025, Roger Carlile, a director of the Company, was appointed as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). In connection with his appointment, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Carlile with a term that extends through November 3, 2028 and will automatically renew annually thereafter. In October 2025, the Company's Board of Directors elected not to renew the "Period of Employment" under the Company's existing Employment Agreement, dated February 3, 2020 and as subsequently amended, with Kate W. Duchene, the Company's former President and CEO. Ms. Duchene stepped down as the Company’s President and CEO, and as a member of the Board, on November 2, 2025. She served as an Executive Advisor through January 3, 2026 to assist the Company and Mr. Carlile with the continuity of leadership. Refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 3, 2025 for additional information regarding the leadership transition and related compensation for Mr. Carlile and Ms. Duchene.
Company Transformation Initiative
In the first half of fiscal 2026, the Company began a transformation initiative to redesign and streamline its operating model to achieve a reduced cost structure, as well as integrating Reference Point's consulting capabilities into the existing consulting business to form a more cohesive consulting segment (the "2026 Transformation Initiative"). As part of this initiative, we engaged a third-party advisor to assist us in conducting a comprehensive review of our global operations. In October 2025, in connection with this effort, we began certain workforce reductions affecting management and administrative roles, aimed at improving efficiency, reducing costs and streamlining operations. Restructuring costs were $2.9 million for both the three and six months ended November 29, 2025. We expect our transformation efforts to continue through the remainder of fiscal 2026, though the scope, timing, and impact of such actions may evolve as the review progresses.
As we continue to evolve our consulting business to deliver higher value, larger and more complex work, we believe we will improve our ability to command higher bill rates; however, the sales cycle associated with such deal opportunities tends to be more elongated. As a result, revenue in the Consulting segment could be uneven in the near term as we continue to execute our strategy in this part of the business.
Market Trends and Uncertainties
Uncertain macroeconomic conditions including ambiguity around interest rates, softening labor markets, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, recent government and policy changes implemented in the United States, and tariff actions and uncertainties related to trade wars have created significant uncertainty in the global economy, volatility in the capital markets and recessionary pressures, which has adversely impacted our financial results. While we are not able to fully predict the potential impact, we continue to see caution in professional services spending within our client base. If these conditions or impacts persist or if a prolonged economic downturn or recession develops, it could result in a further decline in billable hours or negatively impact our bill rates which would adversely affect our financial results and operating cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
31
Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of our Fiscal Year 2025 Form 10-K, and in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies, or in the estimates and assumptions underlying those policies, from those described under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7 of Part II of our Fiscal Year 2025 Form 10-K.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use 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.
Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are listed below and reflect how we evaluate our operating results:
•Same-day constant currency revenue is adjusted for the following items:
◦Currency impact. In order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we calculate same-day constant currency revenue, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as those in effect in the comparable prior period.
◦Business days impact. In order to remove the fluctuations caused by comparable periods having a different number of business days, we calculate same-day revenue as current period revenue (adjusted for currency impact) divided by the number of business days in the current period, multiplied by the number of business days in the comparable prior period. The number of business days in each respective period is provided in the “Number of Business Days” section in the table below.
•EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before amortization expense, depreciation expense, interest and income taxes.
•Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortized ERP system costs, technology transformation costs, goodwill impairment, acquisition costs, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, CEO transition costs, and other items management believes are not representative of the Company's core operations. We also present herein Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level as a measure used to assess the performance of our segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain shared corporate administrative costs that are not practical to allocate. See Note 13 – Segment Information and Enterprise Reporting in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.
•Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue.
32
Same-Day Constant Currency Revenue
Same-day constant currency revenue assists management in evaluating revenue trends on a more comparable and consistent basis. We believe this measure also provides more clarity to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance and facilitates a comparison of such performance from period to period.
The following table presents a reconciliation of same-day constant currency revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to revenue as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, by segment (in thousands, except number of business days).

Our non-GAAP financial measures 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 (loss) or other measures of financial performance or financial condition prepared in accordance with GAAP for purposes of analyzing our revenue, profitability or liquidity. Further, a limitation of our non-GAAP financial measures is they exclude items detailed above that have an impact on our GAAP reported results. Other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute but rather considered in addition to performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Consolidated Operating Results – Three and Six Months Ended November 29, 2025 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended November 23, 2024
Revenue
Three Months Ended
Revenue decreased $27.9 million, or 19.2%, to $117.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from $145.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue decreased by $26.8 million, or 18.4%. Billable hours decreased 18.4% year-over-year, as the Company continues to hone its go-to-market execution for a multi-segment business. The average bill rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased 1.2% year over year, or 1.6% on a constant currency basis. While the decrease was driven by a shift in the geographic revenue
35
mix towards regions with lower bill rates, the average bill rate in the U.S. improved by 2.5% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Six Months Ended
Revenue decreased $44.6 million, or 15.8%, to $238.0 million for the six months ended November 29, 2025 from $282.6 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue for the six months ended November 29, 2025 decreased by $45.8 million, or 16.2%, compared to the six months ended November 23, 2024. Billable hours decreased by 16.4%, as the Company continues to hone its go-to-market execution for a multi-segment business. The average bill rate increased by 0.4% (or remained flat on a constant currency basis) from the six months ended November 23, 2024, reflecting progress in our ongoing value-based pricing initiative and a gradual shift to higher-value projects.
Cost of Services
Three Months Ended
Cost of services decreased $15.5 million, or 17.3%, to $74.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from $89.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in cost of services was primarily attributable to a 18.4% decline in billable hours and a 3.2% decline in average pay rate.
Cost of services as a percentage of revenue was 62.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 61.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. While the Company continues to make progress in improving bill rates, cost of service as a percentage of revenue increased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to higher healthcare expenses under the Company's self-insured medical program, increased holiday pay due to one additional holiday in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025and lower utilization of salaried consultants.
The number of agile consultants on assignment during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 2,288 compared to 2,758 during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The average number of salaried consultants during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 400 compared to 527 during the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Six Months Ended
Cost of services decreased $29.7 million, or 16.8%, to $146.8 million for the six months ended November 29, 2025 from $176.5 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024. The decrease in cost of services was primarily attributable to a 16.4% decline in billable hours and a decrease of 2.0% in the average pay rate in the six months ended November 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended November 23, 2024.
Cost of services as a percentage of revenue was 61.7% for the six months ended November 29, 2025 compared to 62.5% for the six months ended November 23, 2024. The decreased percentage was primarily driven by an improved pay/bill ratio for the six months ended November 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended November 23, 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Three Months Ended
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $54.4 million, or 46.2% of revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $51.3 million, or 35.2% of revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The $3.1 million increase in SG&A year-over-year was primarily driven by $5.9 million in cash severance and $3.1 million in stock-based compensation costs associated with the separation of the Company's former CEO, and a $2.6 million increase in restructuring charges in connection with a reduction in force executed in October 2025. These increases were partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in employee compensation and benefits costs following the reduction in force in fiscal 2025 and most recently in October 2025, a $0.9 million decrease in costs associated with the internal use of consultants, $0.8 million decrease in variable employee compensation as a result of financial performance, a $2.0 million decrease in technology transformation costs primarily associated with the completion of the Company's North America technology implementation during fiscal 2025, a $0.8 million decrease related to bad debt expense, and a $0.4 million decrease in occupancy expenses. The remaining SG&A reduction was related to various general and overhead costs.
Six Months Ended
SG&A expenses were $102.3 million, or 43.0% of revenue, for the six months ended November 29, 2025 compared to $100.2 million, or 35.5% of revenue, for the six months ended November 23, 2024. The $2.1 million increase in SG&A year-over-year was primarily attributed to $5.9 million and $3.1 million in severance and stock based compensation costs, respectively, associated with the separation of the Company's former CEO, a $3.4 million gain on the
36
sale of the Irvine office building during fiscal 2025 with no comparable activity occurring during fiscal 2026, and a $2.6 million increase in restructuring charges. These increases were partially offset by a $5.2 million decrease in employee compensation and benefits costs following the reduction in force in fiscal 2025 and most recently in October 2025, a $1.1 million decrease in costs associated with the internal use of consultants, a $0.9 million decrease in variable employee compensation as a result of financial performance, a $3.9 million decrease in technology transformation costs primarily associated with the completion of our North America technology implementation during fiscal 2025, a $0.7 million decrease related to bad debt expense, a $0.9 million decrease in acquisition costs, and a $0.7 million decrease in occupancy expenses. The remaining SG&A reduction was related to various general and overhead costs.
Management and administrative headcount was 632 at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and 754 at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Goodwill Impairment
Three and Six Months Ended
No goodwill impairment was recorded during the first or second quarters of fiscal 2026. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, in light of the decline in the Company's market capitalization, along with slower than expected recovery in business performance within the Company’s On-Demand Talent segment and Europe & Asia Pacific segment, the Company conducted a goodwill impairment analysis and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $79.5 million in the On-Demand Talent segment. Additionally, during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company completed a goodwill impairment assessment concurrent with its segment change and concluded that the carrying value of the Europe & Asia Pacific segment was in excess of its fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $3.9 million. See Note 5 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.
Income Taxes
Due to the sensitivity of the estimated annual effective tax rate to minor changes in estimated annual pretax results, the Company determined that the discrete method, whereby the year-to-date actual effective tax rate is applied, is the appropriate approach in its current computation of the interim tax provision, as the use of the estimated annual effective tax rate would provide a distortive result.
There can be no assurance that our effective tax rate will remain constant in the future because of factors such as changes in valuation allowance positions of our deferred tax assets and liabilities or changes in tax law or tax rates in jurisdictions that we operate in. Based upon future economic outlook and operating results of certain jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the current valuation allowance positions of certain jurisdictions could be adjusted within the next 12 months.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. Among other changes, OBBBA makes permanent several expiring provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, restores favorable tax treatment of various business provisions, and modifies the international tax regime. The legislation has varying effective dates, with certain provisions effective retrospectively starting January 1, 2025. The tax effects of the enacted legislation are reflected in the period of enactment ended August 30, 2025, and there was no material impact on our effective tax rate as of November 29, 2025. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements.
Three Months Ended
Income tax expense was $0.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, reflecting an effective tax rate of 6.0%, compared to an income tax benefit of $7.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 10.1%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The income tax expense in the quarter ended November 29, 2025 was primarily attributable to income tax expense from profitable foreign jurisdictions, while losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions did not result in a tax benefit due to the existence of valuation allowances. The income tax benefit in the quarter ended November 23, 2024 was primarily attributed to the Company’s consolidated pretax loss, reduced by the permanent disallowance of a portion of the goodwill impairment for tax purposes.
Six Months Ended
Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the six months ended November 29, 2025, reflecting an effective tax rate of 8.6%, compared to an income tax benefit of $6.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 8.2%, for the six months ended November 23, 2024. The income tax expense in the six months ended November 29, 2025 was primarily attributable to income tax expense from profitable foreign jurisdictions, while losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions do not
37
result in a tax benefit due to the existence of valuation allowances. The income tax benefit in the six months ended November 23, 2024 was primarily attributed to the Company’s consolidated pretax loss, reduced by the permanent disallowance of a portion of the goodwill impairment for tax purposes.
Comparability of Quarterly Results. Our quarterly results have fluctuated in the past and we believe they will continue to do so in the future. Certain factors that could affect our quarterly operating results are described in Item 1A of Part I of our Fiscal Year 2025 Form 10-K and our other public filings made with the SEC. Due to these and other factors, we believe quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful indicators of future performance.
Operating Results of Segments
The Company's reportable segments are as follows:
•On-Demand Talent – provides businesses with a go-to source for bringing in experts when they need them, serving predominately the office of the CFO.
•Consulting – drives transformation across people, processes and technology across domain areas including finance, technology and digital, risk and compliance and operational performance.
•Europe & Asia Pacific – is a geographically defined segment that offers both on-demand and consulting services (excluding the digital consulting business, which is included in our Consulting segment) to clients throughout Europe & Asia Pacific.
•Outsourced Services – operating under the Countsy by RGP™ brand, this segment offers finance, accounting and human resource services provided to startups, spinouts and scale-up enterprises, utilizing a technology platform and fractional team.
•Sitrick – a crisis communications and public relations firm that provides corporate, financial, transactional and crisis communication and management services.
Each of these segments reports through separate segment managers to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, who are collectively designated as the Chief Operating Decision Maker for segment reporting purposes. The Company's reportable segments are comprised of On-Demand Talent, Consulting, Europe & Asia Pacific, and Outsourced Services. Sitrick does not individually meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as a reportable segment. Therefore, Sitrick is disclosed under the “All Other” segment. Each of these segments represents a reporting unit for the purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment.

These costs include $5.9 million of cash severance and $3.1 million of non-cash stock compensation expense reflecting the accelerated expense recognition of equity awards during three and six months ended November 29, 2025.
Revenue by Segment
On-Demand Talent – Revenue in the On-Demand Talent segment declined by $10.5 million or 19.5% (18.4% on a constant currency basis), to $43.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $53.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, while billable hours decreased 21.5% and average bill rate increased by 2.6% (or 2.4% on a constant currency basis).
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, On-Demand Talent segment revenue decreased by $18.4 million or 17.4% (17.5% on a constant currency basis), to $87.5 million compared to $105.9 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024, primarily as a result of a 18.7% decrease in billable hours partially offset by a 1.5% (or 1.4% on a constant currency basis) increase in average bill rate.
The decline in billable hours reflected reduced demand in traditional finance roles as clients increasingly adopt artificial intelligence and automation. The improvement of average bill rate was the result of our continued focus on pricing to value.
Consulting – Revenue in the Consulting segment declined by $18.0 million or 29.7% (28.8% on a constant currency basis), to $42.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $60.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 due to a 33.8% decrease in billable hours, partially offset by a 6.6% (or 6.4% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate largely as a result of the Company’s value-based pricing initiative.
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, Consulting segment revenue decreased by $29.4 million or 25.4% (25.5% on a constant currency basis), to $86.3 million compared to $115.7 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024. The decline was primarily due to a 31.1% decrease in billable hours, partially offset by a 8.7% (or 8.6% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate.
Europe & Asia Pacific – Revenue in the Europe & Asia Pacific segment increased by $0.4 million or 2.0% (0.6% on a constant currency basis), to $20.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $19.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to a 3.4% (or 2.4% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate partially offset by a 0.5% decrease in billable hours.
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, Europe & Asia Pacific segment revenue increased by $2.3 million or 6.1% (3.3% on a constant currency basis), to $40.0 million compared to $37.7 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a 6.4% (or 3.8% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate while billable hours remained flat.
40
The increase in the average bill rate was primarily driven by our value-based pricing initiative and a shift in geographic revenue mix towards Europe, where average bill rates are higher. Billable hours in Europe increased 12.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and 16.5% for the six months ended November 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended November 23, 2024, primarily due to project extensions with key accounts in Europe. Billable hours in the Asia Pacific region decreased 2.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2.7% for the six months ended November 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended November 23, 2024 primarily due to results in China.
Outsourced Services – Revenue in the Outsourced Services segment decreased by $0.1 million or 0.8% to $9.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $9.5 million the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Billable hours increased 1.3% and the average bill rate declined 5.0% on a reported basis, primarily due to a higher mix of offshore delivery.
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, Outsourced Services segment revenue increased by $0.4 million or 2.3%, to $19.3 million compared to $18.9 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024, primarily as a result of a 1.7% increase in billable hours partially offset by a 3.6% (also 3.6% on a constant currency basis) decrease in average bill rate year-over-year.
All Other – Revenue in the All Other segment increased by $0.2 million or 10.4% (12.1% on a same-day constant currency basis), to $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in average bill rate of 2.9% partially offset by a 6.6% decrease in billable hours.
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, All Other segment revenue increased by $0.5 million or 12.6% (also 12.6% on a same-day constant currency basis), to $4.9 million compared to $4.4 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in billable hours of 10.6% and an increase in average bill rate of 2.7% (also 2.7% on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA by Segment
On-Demand Talent – The On-Demand Talent segment’s Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.5 million or 27.5%, to $4.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $5.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease is primarily attributed to a decrease in gross profit of $5.0 million partially offset by a decrease in segment expenses of $3.5 million.
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, the On-Demand Talent segment’s Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.3 million or 4.0%, to $8.5 million, compared to $8.2 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024. Compared to the prior year period, SG&A costs decreased by $6.9 million for the six months ended November 29, 2025 as compared to the six months ended November 23, 2024 primarily due to decreases in employee compensation and variable employee compensation as a result of financial performance, following our reduction in force in fiscal 2025 and most recently in October 2025. The improvements in SG&A costs was partially offset by a $6.6 million reduction in gross profit.
Consulting – The Consulting segment’s Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $5.2 million or 54.2%, to $4.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $9.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease is primarily attributed to a decrease in gross profit of $7.9 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in segment expenses of $2.6 million.
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, the Consulting segment’s Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $8.0 million or 45.7%, to $9.5 million, compared to $17.5 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024. Compared to the prior year period, revenue decreased by $29.4 million, which was partially offset by the decrease in related cost of services of $18.3 million. Additionally, SG&A costs decreased by $3.1 million for the six months ended November 29, 2025 as compared to the six months ended November 23, 2024 primarily due to the decrease in employee compensation expense following our reduction in force in fiscal 2025 and most recently in October 2025.
Europe & Asia Pacific – The Europe & Asia Pacific segment’s Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 remained relatively flat compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
41
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, the Europe & Asia Pacific segment’s Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.6 million or 35.3%, to $2.3 million, compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024. Compared to the prior year period, gross profit increased $0.8 million. Additionally, SG&A expenses increased by $0.2 million for the six months ended November 29, 2025 as compared to the six months ended November 23, 2024 primarily due to increases in employee compensation expense.
Outsourced Services – The Outsourced Services segment’s Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.2 million, or 11.2% to $1.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in gross profit of $0.2 million.
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, the Outsourced services segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.1 million or 37.7%, to $4.0 million compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended November 23, 2024 due primarily to a $1.2 million in gross profit.
All Other – The All Other segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.9 million or 167.3% to $0.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $(0.5) million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase is attributed to an increase in gross profit of $0.2 million and a decrease in segment expenses of $0.7 million.
For the six months ended November 29, 2025, the All Other segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.5 million or 154.1%, to $0.5 million compared to $(1.0) million for the six months ended November 23, 2024 due to the $0.8 million decrease in SG&A costs, resulting primarily from lower bad debt expense, and the $0.7 million increase in gross profit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating activities, our senior secured revolving credit facility (as discussed further below) and historically, to a lesser extent, stock option exercises and purchases under the Company's 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the "ESPP"). During the six months ended November 29, 2025, we generated positive cash flow from operations and have historically generated positive cash flows from operations on an annual basis since inception. Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations in the future will depend, at least in part, on customer demand and global economic conditions and our ability to remain resilient during periods of deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and any economic downturns. As of November 29, 2025, we had $89.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, including $40.6 million held in international operations.
Prior to July 2, 2025, the Company had a revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement dated November 12, 2021 by the Company and Resources Connection LLC, as borrowers, and all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, with the lenders that are party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent for the lenders (the “2021 Credit Facility").
On July 2, 2025, the Company, Resources Connection LLC, as borrowers, and all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a credit agreement with the lenders that are party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, L/C issuer and swingline lender (the “2025 Credit Facility”), and concurrently terminated the 2021 Credit Facility. The 2025 Credit Facility provides for a secured revolving loan, available in an amount up to the lesser of $50.0 million and a borrowing base formula tied to eligible receivables, which includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. The 2025 Credit Facility also includes an option to increase the amount of the revolving loan up to an additional $15.0 million. The 2025 Credit Facility will mature on November 30, 2029. The obligations under the 2025 Credit Facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, Resources Connection LLC and all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the 2025 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum of either, at the Company's election (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the 2025 Credit Facility) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2025 Credit Facility), plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.50%, in either case, with the applicable margin depending on the Company's Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2025 Credit Facility). The Company is also obligated to pay other customary facility fees for a credit facility of this size and type.
The 2025 Credit Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions, dividend distribution and stock repurchases. Additional information regarding the 2025 Credit Facility is included in Note 7 – Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item I of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
42
On November 2, 2022, Resources Global Enterprise Consulting (Beijing) Co., Ltd, (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), as borrower, and the Company, as guarantor, entered into a RMB 13.4 million (USD $1.8 million based on the prevailing exchange rate on November 2, 2022) revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (Beijing) as the lender (the “Beijing Revolver”). The Beijing Revolver bears interest at a loan prime rate plus 0.80%. Interest incurred on borrowings will be payable monthly in arrears. As of November 29, 2025, the Company had no debt outstanding under the Beijing Revolver.
In addition to cash needs for ongoing business operations, from time to time, we have strategic initiatives that could generate significant additional cash requirements. Such costs primarily include software licensing fees and other costs in areas including change management and training. We believe our current cash, ongoing cash flows from our operations and funding available under our 2025 Credit Facility will provide sufficient funds for these initiatives. As of November 29, 2025, we have non-cancellable purchase obligations totaling $11.5 million, which primarily consist of payments pursuant to the licensing arrangements that we have entered into: $3.6 million due during the remainder of fiscal 2026; $4.2 million due during fiscal 2027; $3.3 million due during fiscal 2028; and $0.4 million due thereafter. The $3.0 million increase in non-cancellable purchase obligations from the first quarter of 2026 is related to the renewal of a three-year licensing arrangement. We lease office space under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates. See Note 6 - Leases in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our future minimum commitments related to our operating leases.
In addition, we pay a regular quarterly dividend to our stockholders, subject to approval each quarter by our Board of Directors. Most recently, on December 12, 2025, we paid a dividend of $0.07 per share of our common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2025. Continuation of the quarterly dividend is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business condition, contractual restrictions contained in the 2025 Credit Facility and other agreements, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
As described under “Market Trends and Uncertainties” above, uncertain macroeconomic conditions including ambiguity around interest rates, softening labor markets, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, recent government and policy changes implemented in the United States, and tariff actions and uncertainties related to trade wars have created significant uncertainty in the global economy, volatility in the capital markets and recessionary pressures, which have adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, our financial results, operating cash flows and liquidity needs. If we are required to raise additional capital or incur additional indebtedness for our operations or to invest in our business, we can provide no assurances that we would be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all. Our ongoing operations and growth strategy may require us to continue to make investments in critical markets and further expand our internal technology and digital capabilities. In addition, we may consider making additional strategic acquisitions or initiating additional restructuring initiatives, which could require significant liquidity and adversely impact our financial results due to higher cost of borrowings. We believe that our current cash, ongoing cash flows from our operations and funding available under our 2025 Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months.
Beyond the next 12 months, if we require additional capital resources to grow our business, either organically or through acquisitions, we may seek to sell additional equity securities, increase the use of our 2025 Credit Facility, expand the size of our 2025 Credit Facility or raise additional debt. In addition, if we decide to make additional share repurchases, we may fund these through existing cash balances or the use of our 2025 Credit Facility. The sale of additional equity securities or certain forms of debt financing could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Our ability to secure additional financing in the future, if needed, will depend on several factors. These include our future profitability and the overall condition of the credit markets. Notwithstanding these considerations, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs with cash flows from operations and financing arrangements.
Other than as described herein, there have been no material changes to our material cash requirements, including commitments for capital expenditures, described under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of Part II of our Fiscal Year 2025 Form 10-K.
Operating Activities
Operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2026 provided cash of $8.1 million compared to $1.5 million of cash provided in the first six months of fiscal 2025. The cash provided by operations for the first six months of fiscal 2026 was primarily driven by net favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $10.2 million and non-cash adjustments of $12.9 million (resulting primarily from $7.0 million adjustment in non-cash stock-based compensation).
43
The net favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were driven by a $12.7 million decrease in trade accounts receivable, a $6.6 million increase in other liabilities, a $1.5 million decrease in other assets, a $0.9 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $0.4 million decrease in net income taxes receivable. Partially offsetting these favorable changes were a $9.8 million decrease in accrued salaries and related obligations due mainly to the payout of the annual incentive compensation and a $2.1 million decrease in accounts payable and other accrued expenses. The Company incurred a net loss of $15.1 million during the six months ended November 29, 2025.
The cash provided by operations for the first six months of fiscal 2025 was primarily driven by the non-cash adjustments of $83.2 million (primarily due to the non-cash goodwill impairment), which was offset by a net loss of $74.4 million and net unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4.4 million. These net unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were driven by a $3.7 million increase in other assets largely related to the investments in our technology implementation, a $2.1 million decrease in other liabilities, a $1.7 million decrease in accounts payable and other accrued expenses, a $1.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a $0.7 million increase in prepaid income taxes. Offsetting these unfavorable changes were a $1.8 million decrease in trade accounts receivable and a $0.7 million increase in accrued salaries and related obligations, mainly due to the timing of our pay cycle.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to $12.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025. Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2026 was primarily related to $0.4 million of cash used for leasehold improvements and to acquire computer equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2025 was primarily related to $23.0 million of net cash used towards the acquisition of Reference Point and $2.0 million of cash used for the development of internal-use software and acquisition of property and equipment, partially offset by the $12.3 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Irvine office building.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to $17.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025. Net cash used in financing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2026 consisted of cash dividend payments of $4.7 million, which were partially offset by $1.1 million in proceeds received from ESPP share purchases. Net cash used in financing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2025 consisted of $10.0 million to purchase 1,028,315 shares of common stock on the open market and cash dividend payments of $9.4 million; these uses were partially offset by $2.0 million in proceeds received from ESPP share purchases.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Interest Rate Risk. We are primarily exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates and the effects of those fluctuations on the market values of our cash and cash equivalents and our borrowings under the 2025 Credit Facility that bear interest at a variable market rate.
As of November 29, 2025, we had approximately $89.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and no borrowings under our 2025 Credit Facility. The earnings on cash and cash equivalents are subject to changes in interest rates; however, assuming a constant balance available for investment, a 10% decline in interest rates would reduce our interest income but would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
We may become exposed to interest rate risk related to fluctuations in the Term SOFR rate under our 2025 Credit Facility. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above and Note 7 – Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion about the interest rate on our 2025 Credit Facility. As of November 29, 2025, we had no borrowing outstanding and $0.7 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under our 2025 Credit Facility.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. For the six months ended November 29, 2025, approximately 20.5% of our revenues were generated outside of the U.S. compared to approximately 18.2% of our revenues for the six months ended November 23, 2024. As a result, our operating results are subject to fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Thus, as the value of the U.S. dollar fluctuates relative to the currencies in our non-U.S.-based operations, our reported results may vary.
44
Assets and liabilities of our non-U.S.-based operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate effective at the end of each monthly reporting period. Approximately 54.8% of our cash and cash equivalents balances as of November 29, 2025 were denominated in U.S. dollars. The remaining amount of approximately 45.2% was comprised primarily of cash balances translated from Euros, Mexican Pesos, Canadian Dollar, Chinese Yuan, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen, and British Pound Sterling, This compares to approximately 59.2% of our cash and cash equivalents balances as of May 31, 2025 that were denominated in U.S. dollars and approximately 40.8% that were comprised primarily of cash balances translated from Euros, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, and Canadian Dollars. The difference resulting from the translation in each period of assets and liabilities of our non-U.S.-based operations is recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Although we monitor our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, we do not currently use financial hedges to mitigate risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations including in a limited number of circumstances when we may be asked to transact with our client in one currency but are obligated to pay our consultants in another currency. Our foreign entities typically transact with clients and consultants in their local currencies and generate enough operating cash flows to fund their own operations. We believe our economic exposure to exchange rate fluctuations has not been material. However, we cannot provide assurance that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial results in the future.
45
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of November 29, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of November 29, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended November 29, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
