TrueBlue (NYSE:TBI) today announced its second quarter results for 2020.
Second quarter revenue was $359 million, a decrease of 39 percent compared to revenue of $589 million in the second quarter of 2019. Net loss per diluted share was $0.23 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.49 in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted net loss1 per diluted share was $0.12 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.64 in the second quarter of 2019.
“I want to thank our employees, associates, and clients for their outstanding efforts to safely serve the needs of our communities and essential businesses over the past several months,” said Patrick Beharelle, CEO of TrueBlue. “We will continue to face revenue challenges until the economic recovery from COVID-19 gains greater momentum and clients are back on their feet.”
“We experienced a significant decline in the demand for our services during the quarter,” Mr. Beharelle continued. “We saw moderate demand improvement toward the end of the quarter which continued into July. Our actions to reduce expenses while maintaining our operational strengths are paying off. These actions not only help preserve profitability, but also help maintain our balance sheet strength and allow us to continue to invest in our digital strategies.”
