TrueBlue Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

Strong results driven by revenue growth across all segments and operating margin expansion

TrueBlue (NYSE:TBI) today announced its first quarter results for 2022.

First quarter revenue was $552 million, an increase of 20 percent compared to revenue of $459 million in the first quarter of 2021. Net income per diluted share was $0.30 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.20 in the first quarter of 2021. First quarter adjusted net income1 per diluted share was $0.44 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.25 in the first quarter of 2021.

“We are off to a strong start to the year with our fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth and continued operating margin expansion,” said Patrick Beharelle, CEO of TrueBlue. “I’m pleased to report revenue growth across all three segments as we continue to capitalize on widespread demand for our services. PeopleReady revenue growth benefited from bill rate increases and worker supply improvement, while PeopleScout delivered a fourth consecutive quarter of growth driven by new and existing client demand. We are also pleased with the revenue growth in our PeopleManagement business despite global supply chain challenges.

“Our ongoing commitment to our digital strategies combined with our focus on improving operational efficiencies are driving operating margin expansion and creating a competitive advantage for us in the market,” Mr. Beharelle continued. “With these strategies in place, we are well-positioned for long-term, profitable growth.”
