Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Periods The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year. Fiscal periods for the consolidated financial statements included herein are as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, and include the thirteen week periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, referred to herein as Fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2024 financial statements to conform with the 2025 presentation. Management Estimates The preparation of consolidated 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 as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the consolidated financial statements include allowances for credit losses, goodwill, intangible assets, lease liabilities, contingent consideration obligations related to acquisitions, and income taxes. Additionally, the valuation of share-based compensation expense uses a model based upon interest rates, stock prices, maturity estimates, volatility and other factors. The Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reliable. However, these estimates and assumptions may change in the future based on actual experience as well as market conditions. Financial Instruments The Company uses fair value measurements in areas that include, but are not limited to, the allocation of purchase price consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets, convertible debt, and contingent consideration. The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued payroll and expenses, and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates under the credit agreement with BMO Bank, N.A. (“BMO”) that provides for a revolving credit facility, term loan and current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and risk. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company’s diverse client partner base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic locations nationwide. No single client partner accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024 or revenue for the thirteen week periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024. Geographic revenue in excess of 10% of the Company's consolidated revenue in Fiscal 2025 and the related percentage for Fiscal 2024 was generated in the following areas at:
|  | Thirteen Weeks Ended
|  | March 30, 2025 |  | March 31, 2024
Tennessee |  | 16 | % |  | 18 | %
Texas |  | 23 | % |  | 23 | %
Consequently, weakness in economic conditions in these regions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of future operations. Accounts Receivable The Company extends credit to its client partners in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable represents unpaid balances due from client partners. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for expected losses resulting from client partners’ non-payment of balances due to the Company. The Company’s determination of the allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on management’s judgments and assumptions, including general economic conditions, portfolio composition, historical credit loss, evaluation of credit risk related to certain individual client partners and the Company’s ongoing examination process. During Fiscal 2024, the Company identified an additional risk pool related to the Property Management segment, which increased the estimate of expected credit losses. Receivables are written off after they are deemed to be uncollectible after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as income when received. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are as follows (in thousands):
|  |  |  | Thirteen Weeks Ended
|  |  |  |  |  | March 30, 2025 |  | March 31, 2024
Beginning balance |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,133 |  |  | $ | 554 |
Provision for credit losses |  |  |  |  |  | 260 |  |  | 625 |
Amounts written off |  |  |  |  |  | (174) |  |  | (421) |
Recoveries |  |  |  |  |  | 4 |  |  | 3 |
Ending balance |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,223 |  |  | $ | 761 |
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $2.9 million and $2.9 million at March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Deposits The Company maintains guaranteed costs policies for workers' compensation coverage in monopolistic states and minimal loss retention coverage in all other states. Under these policies, the Company is required to maintain refundable deposits of $1.8 million, which are included in Deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024. Software as a Service The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in cloud computing implementation costs from hosting arrangements, which are categorized as long-lived assets, and are reported as Software as a service in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All other internal-use software development costs are capitalized and reported as a component of computer software within Intangible assets. Software as a service is stated net of accumulated amortization of $2.8 million and $2.6 million at March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. The Company reviews its long-lived assets, primarily Property and equipment and Software as a service, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. There were no impairment triggering events identified with respect to long-lived assets during Fiscal 2025 or Fiscal 2024. Leases The Company leases all their office space through operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2030. Many of the lease agreements obligate the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, and certain maintenance costs, which are accounted for separately. Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements contain renewal provisions from 1 to 10 years, exercisable at the Company's option. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Contracts with lease and non-lease components are accounted for on a combined basis. The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease at inception. Leases and subleases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All other leases and subleases are recorded on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease term. Right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date, unless the implicit rate in the lease is readily determinable. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Intangible Assets The Company holds Intangible assets with finite lives. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years, based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective Intangible asset is realized. Identifiable Intangible assets recognized in conjunction with acquisitions are recorded at fair value. Significant unobservable inputs are used to determine the fair value of the identifiable Intangible assets based on the income approach valuation model whereby the present worth and anticipated future benefits of the identifiable Intangible assets are discounted back to their net present value. The Company develops and implements software to enhance the performance and capabilities of the IT infrastructure. Direct internal payroll costs and external costs for the development of software are capitalized from the time internal-use software is considered probable until the software is deployed. All other preliminary and planning stage costs are expensed as incurred. Minor upgrades and enhancements to software systems are expensed in the period incurred as software maintenance and training costs. The Company evaluates the recoverability of Intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an Intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions and its impact on each of the reporting units. The Company annually evaluates the remaining useful lives of all Intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. There were no impairment indicators identified during Fiscal 2025. See “Note 5 - Intangible Assets.” Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is evaluated at the reporting unit level for impairment annually at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently, if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions and its impact on each of the reporting units. If the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value for one or more reporting units is greater than their carrying value, the Company may use a qualitative assessment for the annual impairment test. The Company determined there were no impairment indicators for goodwill assets during Fiscal 2025 or Fiscal 2024. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the respective loans. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. Contingent Consideration The Company has obligations, to be paid in cash, related to its acquisitions if certain operating and financial goals are met. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using expected cash flows and present value technique. The fair value calculation of the expected future payments uses a discount rate commensurate with the risks of the expected cash flow. The resulting discount is amortized as interest expense over the outstanding period using the effective interest method. Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenues in Property Management and Professional segments by providing workforce solutions, placement services, and managed services. Revenues are recognized when promised services are delivered to client partners, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations represent services rendered to client partners less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in revenues, and the related amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in cost of services. The Company records revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of revenues and expenses. The Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified field talent, (ii) has the discretion to select the field talent and establish their price and duties and (iii) bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by client partners. Workforce solution revenues - Field talent revenues from contracts with client partners are recognized in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice, when the services are rendered by the Company’s field talent. Contingent placement revenues - Any revenues associated with workforce solutions that are provided on a contingent basis are recognized once the contingency is resolved, as this is when control is transferred to the client partner, usually when employment candidates start their employment. Managed services revenues - include workforce solution revenues, fixed fee revenues, and input method revenues for one partner contract. Workforce solution services performed represent the transfer of control to the client partner over a given period of time. Fixed fee revenues are recognized in equal amounts at fixed intervals as promised services are delivered. Input method revenues accounts for less than 8% of total revenue and are recognized based on the Company's efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation, relative to the total expected inputs required for completion. The Company believes this method best reflects its progress in transferring the performance obligation to the customer. The Company estimates the effect of placement candidates who do not remain with its client partners through the guarantee period (generally 90 days) based on historical experience. Allowances, recorded as a liability, are established to estimate these losses. Fees to client partners are generally calculated as a percentage of the new worker’s annual compensation. No fees for placement workforce solutions are charged to employment candidates. These assumptions determine the timing of revenue recognition for the reported period. Refer to Note 13 for disaggregated revenues by functional specialization and segment. Payment terms in the Company's contracts vary by the type and location of its client partner and the workforce solutions offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. There were no unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 30, 2025. There were no revenues recognized during the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2025 related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods. There are no contract costs capitalized. The Company did not recognize any contract impairments during the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2025. The opening balance of accounts receivable at December 31, 2023 was $56.8 million. Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense in selling, general, and administrative expenses over the service period for common stock options or restricted stock that are expected to vest and records adjustments to compensation expense at the end of the service period if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities. Antidilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share. The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the respective periods (in thousands):
|  |  |  |  | Thirteen Weeks Ended
|  |  |  |  |  |  | March 30, 2025 |  | March 31, 2024
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding: |  |  |  |  |  | 10,954 |  |  | 10,831 |
Weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding |  |  |  |  |  | 10,954 |  |  | 10,831 |
| Stock options and restricted stock |  |  |  |  |  | 840 |  |  | 709 |
| Convertible note |  |  |  |  |  | 255 |  |  | 255 |
Antidilutive shares |  |  |  |  |  | 1,095 |  |  | 964 |
Income Taxes The consolidated effective tax rate was 10.5% and 3.4% for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively. Although both fiscal periods consisted of a federal benefit at statutory rates, Fiscal 2025 had a lower state expense and a temporary book to tax difference for equity related items. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts are classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The overall change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax expense or benefit for the period. Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the period of enactment. As of March 30, 2025, the Company has a $2.6 million net operating loss carry forward from the 2020 EdgeRock acquisition with no expiration date. These net operating losses are subject to an annual Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitation of $1.1 million. When appropriate, the Company will record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets to offset future tax benefits that may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, based in part upon management’s judgments regarding future events and past operating results. The Company follows the guidance Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not measurement methodology to reflect the financial statement impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new standard requires annual disclosure of the specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additional information may be required on reconciling items. The guidance was effective December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU in Fiscal 2025, which did not have material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which will require the Company to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
