Grounding quotes
  • “We were able to grow consolidated revenues during the fourth quarter. Again, the progress we've made in driving efficiencies and containing costs, as you see from our bottom-line performance reported today, should prove beneficial once macro conditions normalize and stronger demand returns.”
  • “There remained a degree of economic uncertainty amongst customers and prospects across all of our business lines.”
  • “We are cautiously optimistic that additional new opportunities will provide meaningful benefit starting in the latter part of the second quarter and drive year-over-year growth in the back half of the year.”
  • “Like I said, we're cautiously optimistic. We're encouraged, whichever words, I guess, you prefer.”

Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Q4 consolidated revenue grew 1% YoY to $146.6M and 6% sequentially
  • Q4 EBITDA rose 19% YoY to $8.6M, with EBITDA margin up 90 bps to 5.9%
  • Q4 diluted EPS nearly doubled to $0.23 from $0.13
  • Branded Products revenue grew 5% YoY to $97M, driven by the 3Point acquisition and modest organic growth
  • SG&A reduced ~$1.4M YoY despite revenue growth, including a ~10% reduction in Contact Centers SG&A
  • 2026 guidance calls for net sales of $572M–$585M and diluted EPS of $0.54–$0.66, both above 2025

Risks & pressure points

  • Healthcare Apparel revenue declined 5% YoY to $29M due to macro uncertainty in wholesale and institutional channels
  • Contact Centers revenue declined 8% YoY to $22M as customer losses and downsizing outpaced new wins
  • Contact Centers gross margin fell ~2 percentage points to 52.6% on higher agent costs and the July closure of the lower-cost Jamaica center
  • Consolidated gross margin was nearly flat at 36.9% vs. 37.1%, with tariff and economic uncertainty cited as ongoing headwinds
  • Institutional healthcare spending constrained by uncertainty and government actions, pressuring that channel
  • Contact Centers prospective customers have been slow to commit amid economic uncertainty, delaying the conversion of pipeline opportunities

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“We're setting an initial full year revenue range of $572 million to $585 million, which assumes no significant change in macro conditions due to geopolitical or other events and implies 3% growth at the high end. Taking these factors into consideration, we are also expecting full year earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.54 to $0.66, suggesting significant improvement over $0.46 in 2025.” Michael Koempel, CFO
