Strategic Priorities May 2017

PeopleReady Transition May 2017 Legacy branch based business transitioned to one brand/one system. Expanding Scope of Services • Within our legacy structure, only 12 of our top 40 markets had access to all 3 service lines. • PeopleReady will bring more specialized services to more markets while leveraging central resources to streamline operations. Increasing Operational Agility • >50% of PeopleReady’s revenue is generated from customers who already work with multiple brands; single point of contact makes it easier. • One set of operating procedures and systems provide a better customer experience empowering staff to move quickly and capture market share. Larger Talent Pool • Associates and customers benefit from scale when information is visible across all systems. • Common information systems and compelling new technology platforms (i.e. mobile app) increases our ability to attract a more diverse population of workers.

Non-GAAP Terms and Definitions May 2017 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes from EBITDA costs related to acquisition and integration costs and Work Opportunity Tax Credit third-party processing fees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are key measures used by management to assess performance and, in our opinion, enhance comparability and provide investors with useful insight into the underlying trends of the business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered measures of financial performance in isolation or as an alternative to Income from operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude from Net income and Net income on a per diluted share basis, costs related to acquisition and integration costs, amortization of intangibles of acquired businesses as well as accretion expense related to acquisition earn-out, tax effect of each adjustment to U.S. GAAP Net income, and adjusts income taxes to the expected ongoing effective tax rate. Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share are key measures used by management to assess performance and, in our opinion, enhance comparability and provide investors with useful insight into the underlying trends of the business. Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share should not be considered measures of financial performance in isolation or as an alternative to net income or net income per diluted share in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, minus purchases for property and equipment. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. We present free cash flow because we believe it indicates the amount of cash available after capital expenditures for, among other things, investments in our existing business, debt service obligations, repurchase of our common stock, and strategic acquisitions. See “Financials” in the Investors section of our web site at www.trueblue.com for a full reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP financial results.
