Brendan Flood, Chairman, CEO and President, said, "We believe that we are successfully executing on our growth strategy, with nearly 27% year-over-year revenue growth for the first quarter, and positive adjusted EBITDA, led by significant gains in our U.S. professional staffing segment, despite the continuing challenging macroeconomic environment. In addition to the planned filing of our outstanding first quarter Form 10-Q, we are working to file our second quarter Form 10-Q as quickly as possible and expect to provide further information in the coming weeks.
"Our buy-integrate-build strategy is beginning to pay off, and we anticipate continued revenue growth and margin improvements as we move toward our long-term goals. As we expect is the case with other staffing companies, we continue to closely monitor the marketplace and our clients' needs for any recessionary, or other macro-economic impacts, and are ready to take necessary actions to mitigate any such impact. Our primary focus is on providing meaningful staffing solutions to our clients, while driving future growth and shareholder value," concluded Flood.
Outlook
Although industry conditions remain uncertain and are subject to change, the Company currently estimates revenues for the 2023 fiscal year in the range of $250 million to $265 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Staffing 360 Solutions provides Adjusted EBITDA, a non-generally accepted accounting principal ("GAAP") financial measure, because it believes it offers to investors additional information for monitoring its profit and cash flow generation. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common stock before interest expense, benefit from income taxes, depreciation and amortization, acquisition, capital raising and other non-recurring expenses, other non-cash charges, impairment of goodwill, re-measurement gain on intercompany note, restructuring charges, other income, and charges the Company considers to be non-recurring in nature such as legal expenses associated with litigation, professional fees associated potential and completed acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace EBITDA other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
