ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atlantic International Corp. ("Atlantic") (OTC: ATLN), a leading provider of strategic staffing outsourced services and workforce solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. "Atlantic achieved substantial revenue growth in the second quarter, which was our first reporting period as a newly public company. We are extremely proud of all our employees who work every day to deliver e-commerce logistics on time and at the right price for our customers," said Jeffrey Jagid, Chief Executive Officer.
Key Q2 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue: Atlantic International Corp. reported revenue of $104.6 million, representing a 17% increase compared to $89.4 million for the same period last year. Growth is attributed to expansion within our existing customer base and new customer wins, as well as improving demand for our core service offerings.
- Gross Profit: Gross profit for the quarter was $11.5 million, representing 11.0% of revenue, compared to $10.9 million, or 12.2% of revenue, in the same period last year. This was driven by expansion costs as we grow our relationships with existing clients opening new facilities and our onboarding of new clients.
Margin expansion is expected as we leverage our in-place executive team, existing back-office operations and add higher margin business, including permanent staffing revenues. We expect our next acquisition to bring an array of technology customers, which we expect to result in higher margin revenue and further diversify our customer base.
- Total Customers: As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately 1,100 total customers, compared to 1,000 as of March 31, 2024, a 10% increase quarter-over-quarter.
Operational Highlights:
- Expansion Initiatives: Atlantic International Corp.'s subsidiary Lyneer continues to execute on its strategic growth initiatives, including the expansion into new markets and the launch of innovative product lines. We are targeting combined annual revenue in excess of $1 billion in 2025, including acquisitions.
- New Onsite Locations: The company successfully opened the Rock Hill, South Carolina logistics center on behalf of UPS, bolstering our position in the fast-growing Southeast market and enhancing our service capabilities for the world's largest global logistics provider.
- Investments in Operating Platform and M&A Expertise: We are making investments in our technology and infrastructure, including personnel, today, that we anticipate will deliver long-term results. Our newly established operating platform can service 3x Atlantic's revenue run-rate, while delivering improved client service and satisfaction.
Management Commentary

We also look forward to our pending uplisting to a National Securities Exchange."
