GEE Group Unveils Strategic Plan to Navigate Macroeconomic Challenges and Improve Financial Results

GEE Group Inc., a provider of professional staffing services and human resource solutions, has announced a strategic plan to strengthen its market position and drive profitable growth amid macroeconomic turmoil, labor market challenges, and volatile staffing industry dynamics. This plan aims to enhance the company's operating efficiency by reducing SG&A costs and implementing pricing enhancements tailored to inflationary pressures.

In pursuit of growth opportunities, GEE Group is actively seeking strategic acquisitions in higher-end verticals at attractive prices, intending to capitalize on lower valuations stemming from the economic downturn. The company plans to streamline operations for better scalability and improved competition in the marketplace.

As part of its strategy, GEE Group will reduce amortizable intangible assets and a portion of its goodwill, recognizing approximately $20.5 million in non-cash, pre-tax charges. This adjustment will reduce the net book value by 16% but will have no impact on cash or tangible assets, aiming to improve net results and lessen balance sheet risks.

Derek Dewan, CEO, expressed confidence in the company's ability to navigate the challenging environment, emphasizing a disciplined approach to evaluating potential acquisitions and a commitment to operational excellence and value creation for stakeholders.
