Company Overview
We provide workforce solutions through the Property Management (apartment communities and commercial buildings) segment that operates primarily within the United States of America (“U.S.”). With the acquisitions of BG Personnel, LP and B G Staff Services Inc., we laid the foundation for our entrance into the Property Management (“PM”) staffing industry. Through a series of acquisitions, we diversified into the professional services markets, which included consulting and staffing solutions for both information technology and finance and accounting as well as managed solutions services, which included both workforce solutions and fixed fee arrangements. We have continuing operations in one industry segment, Property Management, and have discontinued operations the Light Industrial and Professional segments.
On May 8, 2024, the Company announced that our Board had initiated a process to evaluate potential strategic alternatives and engaged financial advisors in an endeavor to maximize shareholder value (“Strategic alternatives review”). During December 2024, the Company announced a cost restructuring plan as part of the strategic review process. On June 14, 2025, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with INSPYR Solutions Intermediate, LLC, pursuant to which the Company sold substantially all of the outstanding equity and net assets pertaining to the Professional segment (“BGSF Professional”) on September 8, 2025. The BGSF Professional financial results for periods prior to the sale have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, see “Note 4 - Discontinued Operations.”
The Property Management segment provides office and maintenance talent in 44 states and D.C., to property management companies responsible for the apartment communities’ and commercial buildings’ day-to-day operations.
The Company normally experiences seasonal fluctuations. The quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a quarter, as well as the seasonality of client partners’ business. Demand for the Property Management workforce solutions has typically increased in the second quarter and is highest during the third quarter of the year due to the increased turns in multifamily units during the summer months when schools are not in session. Overall first quarter demand can be affected by adverse weather conditions in the winter months.

Revenues:
Fiscal Years Ended
(dollars in thousands)
Gross profit percentage 35.7 % 36.8 %
Revenues: Revenues decreased approximately $11.1 million (10.6%). The decrease was primarily due to a 12.1% reduction in billed hours, which was driven by a combination of lower demand from cost pressures on property owners and property management companies and increased competition in certain markets with partial offsets by higher permanent placement business, average bill rate, and multi-family property owners.
Gross Profit: Gross profit decreased approximately $5.1 million (13.1%) which is in line with revenues with a partial offset by higher permanent placement business that have no cost of service.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses decreased $1.8 million (4.1%) primarily due to reduced compensation costs on less headcount offset by an increase in strategic alternatives review. The components of SGA expense are detailed in the following table:
Fiscal Years Ended
Amount % of Revenue Amount % of Revenue $Change %Change
(dollars in thousands)
General and administrative:
Contingent consideration adjustment: As a result of the certain business developments in Fiscal 2025, the Company recognized a $0.5 million contingent consideration adjustment related to the sale of BGSF Professional, see “Note 4 - Discontinued Operations.”
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization charges increased approximately $0.2 million (16.2%) primarily due to higher amortization of intangible assets for computer software depreciation.
Interest Expense, net: Interest expense, net decreased $0.4 million (8.3%) primarily from paying the balance on the amended and restated credit agreement with BMO, using the proceeds from the sale of BGSF Professional, which was partially offset by the write off of amortization of debt issuance costs from the BMO May 2025 Waiver and Amendment.
30
Income Tax Benefit: Income tax benefit decreased $0.2 million (9.7%) primarily due to an increased net loss before taxes and a lower effective tax rate in Fiscal 2025, which was partially offset by a $1.5 million valuation allowance recorded during Fiscal 2025 against certain net deferred tax assets generated in the sale of BGSF Professional and lower state tax expense.
Fifty-two Week Fiscal Year Ended December 29, 2024 (Fiscal 2024) Compared with Fifty-three Week Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023 (Fiscal 2023)
Revenues:
Fiscal Years Ended
(dollars in thousands)
Gross profit percentage 36.8 % 39.8 %
Revenues: Revenues decreased approximately $20.7 million (16.5%). The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in billed hours, which was driven by a combination of increased competition in certain markets and lower demand from cost pressures at the property management companies.
Gross Profit: Gross profit decreased approximately $11.4 million (22.9%). The decrease was primarily due to to a reduction in revenue, which was driven by a combination of increased competition in certain markets, lower demand from cost pressures at the property management companies and lower permanent placement business, which has no cost of service.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses: SGA expenses decreased $2.5 million (5.5%) versus prior year, primarily due to expense reduction and cost control efforts in response to the decline in revenues. The components of SGA expense are detailed in the following table:

Amount % of Revenue Amount % of Revenue $Change %Change
(dollars in thousands)
General and administrative:
Strategic alternatives review 962 0.9 — — 962 — %
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization charges were flat due to the increase in software amortization that was partially offset by the decrease in computer equipment.
Interest Expense, net: Interest expense, net decreased $1.1 million (17.7%) primarily due to reduced accretion in Fiscal 2024 on contingent consideration associated with Arroyo Consulting and the lower average balance on the Revolving Facility, which was partially offset by the increase in debt issuance costs.
Income Tax Benefit: Income tax benefit increased $1.3 million (150.8%) primarily due to a lower taxable loss in Fiscal 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital requirements are primarily driven by field talent payments, tax payments, and client partner accounts receivable receipts. Since receipts from client partners lag payments to field talent, working capital requirements increase substantially in periods of growth.
Our primary sources of liquidity were cash generated from operations and borrowings under our amended and restated credit agreement with BMO, that provided for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). On September 8, 2025, we paid the balance on the existing Term Loan and Revolving Facility using the proceeds from the sale of BGSF Professional. We do not currently have access to a revolving credit facility. On September 30, 2025, we paid a $2.00 per share special cash dividend. Our primary uses of cash are payments to field talent, team members, related payroll liabilities, operating expenses, capital expenditures, cash interest, cash taxes, contingent consideration, and debt payments. We believe that the cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our normal working capital needs for at least the next twelve months, including investments made, and expenses incurred, in connection with opening new markets throughout the next year. Our ability to continue to fund these items may be affected by general economic, competitive and other factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our future cash flow from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to obtain new debt or equity capital.
While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and expansion plans, we may elect to pursue additional growth opportunities within the next year that could require new debt or equity financing. If we are unable to secure new financing at favorable terms in order to pursue such additional growth opportunities, our ability to pursue such opportunities could be materially and adversely affected.
A summary of our working capital, operating, investing, and financing activities are shown in the following table:
Fiscal Years Ended
(dollars in thousands)
Net cash (used in) provided by continuing operations:
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of year 32 — —
Net change in cash and cash equivalents, continuing operations $ 19,018 $ 32 $ —
(1)The 2023 working capital amount includes the movement of the balances from long-term to current liabilities related to the amended credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (“BMO”) which would have matured on July 16, 2024.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, interest expense, and provision for credit losses. The primary drivers of cash inflows and outflows are accounts receivable, transition services payable, other current assets, and accrued payroll and expenses.
During Fiscal 2025, net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $0.1 million, a decrease of $19.3 million compared with $19.4 million net cash provided by continuing operating activities for Fiscal 2024. This decrease is primarily attributable to decreased receipts on accounts receivable, increased payments on accrued payroll and expenses, increased payments on transition services payable, the recording of an escrow receivable related to the sale of BGSF Professional, and decreased payments on other current assets.
32
During Fiscal 2024, net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $19.4 million, an increase of $6.5 million compared with $12.9 million net cash provided by continuing operating activities for Fiscal 2023. This increase is primarily attributable to increased receipts on accounts receivable and decreased payments on accrued payroll and expenses.
During Fiscal 2023, net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $12.9 million, an increase of $16.2 million compared with $3.3 million net cash used in continuing operating activities for Fiscal 2022. This increase is primarily attributable to receipts on accounts receivable, payments on accrued payroll and expenses, and payments of deferred employer FICA for the CARES Act in other current liabilities in Fiscal 2022.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities consists primarily of cash received for business sold and capital expenditures.
In Fiscal 2025, cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations consists primarily of net proceeds from the sale of BGSF Professional of approximately for $91.4 million, which was partially offset by minimal capital expenditures.
In Fiscal 2024, we made capital expenditures of $1.2 million from continuing operations mainly related to continued IT improvements.
In Fiscal 2023, we made capital expenditures of $2.1 million from continuing operations mainly related to continued IT improvements and for software and computer equipment purchased in the ordinary course of business.
Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities consisted principally of borrowings and repayments under our credit agreement, special cash dividends, repurchases of our common stock, and contingent consideration paid.
For Fiscal 2025, we paid off our credit agreement of $42.9 million and the convertible unsecured promissory note of $4.4 million. We paid $1.4 million of contingent consideration related to Arroyo Consulting, we paid $22.4 million in cash dividends on our common stock, and repurchased $1.5 million of our common stock.
For Fiscal 2024, we reduced our credit agreement by $15.9 million, we disbursed $1.6 million in cash dividends on our common stock, and we paid $1.3 million in debt issuance costs.
For Fiscal 2023, we disbursed $6.5 million in cash dividends on our common stock and we reduced our Credit Agreement by $4.7 million.
Credit Agreements
On September 8, 2025, we paid the balance on the existing Term Loan and Revolving Facility using the proceeds from the sale of BGSF Professional.
On July 16, 2019, we entered into a Credit Agreement. We entered into four amendments from August 18, 2022 through May 19, 2023, which changed the interest rate component from LIBOR (“London Interbank Offered Rate”) to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), exercised the option to borrow $40 million, required 2.5% of the original principal balance of the new term loan, permitted a foreign entity acquisition, modified the distributions terms, and increased a revolving credit facility by $6.0 million.
On March 12, 2024, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated (the “Restated Agreement”), which provided for a Revolving Facility which permitted us to borrow funds in an aggregate amount up to $40 million. The Restated Agreement also provided for a term loan commitment, which permitted us to borrow funds from time to time (the “Term Loan”). In July 2024, we exercised the option to borrow on a delayed draw term loan of $4.3 million related to payments on the Arroyo Consulting Acquisition's working capital “true up”, hold backs, and year one contingent consideration. On November 6, 2024, we entered into the First Amendment to Restated Agreement, which reduced the availability on the Revolving Facility an aggregate amount up to $20 million.
On March 13, 2025, we entered into a Waiver and Second Amendment to Restated Agreement in which the lenders unanimously waived noncompliance with the covenants as of December 29, 2024 and March 30, 2025 and a new definition of
33
Applicable Margin, a reduction of the swing line sublimit to zero, and limiting the aggregate revolving credit borrowings to $8.0 million. On May 7, 2025, we entered into a Waiver and Amendment in which the lenders unanimously waived noncompliance on the requirement of least $2.0 million in cash equity contributions by extending the deadline and adding the option of subordinated debt. On August 4, 2025, we entered into a Waiver and Amendment in which the lenders unanimously waived noncompliance with the foregoing covenants as of June 29, 2025 and that provided that we would finalize and close the sale BGSF Professional no later than September 30, 2025.
We were required to repay the Term Loan in quarterly principal installments equal to 2.5% of the aggregate principal balance. We paid an unused commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of Revolving Facility. Our obligations were secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all our tangible and intangible property. We obtained the waivers described above for the non compliance with the foregoing financial covenants and certain affirmative covenants as of the quarters ended December 29, 2024, March 30, 2025, and June 29, 2025.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Letter of Credit
In conjunction with a previous acquisition, we entered into a standby letter of credit arrangement, which expired, for purposes of protecting a lessor against default on lease payments. As of December 29, 2024, we had a maximum financial exposure from this standby letter of credit totaling $0.1 million and no liability had been recorded, all of which was considered usage against our Revolving Facility. On September 8, 2025, we assigned the related lease in the sale of BGSF Professional.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have identified the policies listed below as critical to our business and the understanding of our results of operations. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition
We derive our revenues from continuing operations by providing workforce solutions and placement services. Revenues are recognized when promised solutions are delivered to client partners, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. We recognize revenue through the following types of services: workforce solutions and contingent placements.
Intangible Assets
We hold 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. We develop and implement software modifications to our information technology infrastructure with direct internal payroll costs and external costs capitalized. Minor upgrades and enhancements to software systems are are expensed in the period incurred as software maintenance and training costs.
34
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the enterprise value or consideration exchanged less the fair value of all recognized net asset fair values including identifiable intangible asset values in a business combination. We review goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable.
Income Taxes
The current provision for income taxes represents estimated amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed for the year. We recognizes any penalties when necessary as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. 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 net as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. When appropriate, we will record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets to offset future tax benefits that may not be realized. We follow the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their potential effect on our results of operations and financial condition, refer to Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are exposed to certain market risks from transactions we enter into in the normal course of business. Our primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate risk and inflation risks. Through the current period, we have been able to moderate the negative impacts of an inflationary market by adjusting our pricing model.
Interest Rates
At December 28, 2025, we had paid the balance on the existing credit agreement led by BMO using the proceeds from the sale of BGSF Professional. See “Note 11 - Debt” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. An increase in interest rates would have no impact on our annual interest expense.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of BGSF, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BGSF, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2025, based on criteria established in 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 30, 2026 expressed an adverse opinion.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
37
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.
Assessment of Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets
Critical Audit Matter Description
As disclosed in Note 2 and Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes deferred income taxes for tax attributes and for differences between the financial statement and tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the deferred tax liability or asset are expected to be settled or realized. The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. In assessing the need for the valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Future sources of taxable income are also considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance. As of December 28, 2025, the Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $9.5 million. Auditing management’s assessment of recoverability of deferred tax assets involved subjective estimation and complex auditor judgment in determining whether sufficient future taxable income, including projected pre-tax income, will be generated to support the realization of the existing deferred tax assets before expiration.
How We Addressed the Matter
We evaluated the assumptions used by the Company to develop projections of future taxable income, including the pre-tax income, by income tax jurisdiction and tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the projections. For example, we compared the projections of, and inputs used to calculate pre-tax income with the actual results of prior periods, as well as management’s consideration of current industry and economic trends. We also compared the projections of future pre-tax income with other forecasted financial information prepared by the Company. We also performed a sensitivity analysis on the significant assumption to evaluate how changes in those assumptions would impact the utilization of the deferred tax assets.
We evaluated the methodology and models used in management’s forecasting of the reversal of deferred income tax assets and liabilities in order to determine whether such methodologies were consistent with GAAP, including management’s consideration of definite-lived deferred income tax balances and indefinite-lived deferred income tax balances.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
BGSF, Inc. (the “Company”) provides workforce solutions through the Property Management segment that operates primarily within the United States of America (“U.S.”). The Property Management segment provides office and maintenance talent in 44 states and D.C., to property management companies responsible for the apartment communities’ and commercial buildings’ day-to-day operations.
The Company normally experiences seasonal fluctuations. The quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a quarter, as well as the seasonality of client partners’ business. Demand for the Property Management workforce solutions has typically increased in the second quarter and is highest during the third quarter of the year due to the increased turns in multifamily units during the summer months when schools are not in session. Overall first quarter demand can be affected by adverse weather conditions in the winter months.
On April 24, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Arroyo Consulting, LLC (“Arroyo Consulting”). See “Note 3 - Acquisitions.”
On May 8, 2024, the Company announced that our board of directors (“Board”) had initiated a process to evaluate potential strategic alternatives and engaged financial advisors in an endeavor to maximize shareholder value (“Strategic alternatives review”). During December 2024, the Company announced a cost restructuring plan as part of the strategic review process. On June 14, 2025, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with INSPYR Solutions Intermediate, LLC, pursuant to which the Company sold substantially all of the outstanding equity and assets pertaining to the Professional segment (“BGSF Professional”) on September 8, 2025. The BGSF Professional financial results for periods prior to the sale have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements, see “Note 4 - Discontinued Operations.”
NOTE 2 - 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 Year
The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year. Fiscal years for the consolidated financial statements included herein are for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, referred as Fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2024 and 2023 financial statements to conform with the 2025 presentation.
Management Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in United States of America (“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 the allowance for credit losses, goodwill, intangible assets, lease liabilities, 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 and convertible debt. 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 provided for a revolving credit facility and term loan and current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and risk. On September 8, 2025, the Company paid the balance on the existing Term Loan and Revolving Facility using the proceeds from the sale of BGSF Professional. See “Note 11 - Debt.”
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 December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 or revenue from continuing operations in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023. Geographic revenue from continuing operations in excess of 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue in fiscal year 2025 and the related percentage for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 was generated in the following area:
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 losses, evaluation of credit risk related to certain individual client partners and the Company’s ongoing examination process. During Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, the Company identified additional risk pools related to the Property Management segment, which increased the estimate of expected credit losses. The additional risk pool and increased expected credit losses that were identified during 2024 have been resolved. 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 from continuing operations are as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property and Equipment
The Company depreciates the cost of property and equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method ranging from five to seven years. The costs of leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or lease term. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to operating expenses as incurred. Material expenditures that increase the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. The cost of properties sold, or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, are removed from the accounts, and any gains or losses are reflected in current operations.
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 December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.
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 a 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. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related software and the amortization is recorded within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
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, 2024, or 2023.
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 for 5 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.
47
BGSF, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 information technology 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 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. In Fiscal 2023, management decided to eliminate the use of various trade names and go to market under the BGSF brand. Management’s rebranding created an impairment charge of $22.5 million included in discontinued operations. There were no impairment indicators identified during Fiscal 2025 or 2024.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the total consideration paid less the fair value of all recognized net asset fair values including identifiable intangible asset values in a business combination. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Based on annual testing, the Company has determined there was no impairment indicators for goodwill assets during Fiscal 2025, 2024, or 2023.
The Company first evaluates qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If after qualitatively assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then further testing is unnecessary. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company then estimates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill, as discussed below.
In assessing whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the Company assesses relevant events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value.
The quantitative impairment test for an indefinite-lived intangible asset consists of a comparison of the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, a reporting unit shall recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess.
The quantitative goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step, the reporting unit’s fair value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.
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.
48
BGSF, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 from continuing operations by providing workforce solutions and placement services through the Property Management segment. 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 from continuing operations 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.
Contract field talent revenues - Field talent revenues from contracts with client partners are recognized over time in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice, as 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 at a point in time once the contingency is resolved, as this is when control is transferred to the client partner, usually when employment candidates start their employment.
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 18 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 December 28, 2025 or December 29, 2024. There were no revenues recognized during Fiscal 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 Fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023. The opening balance of accounts receivable at December 31, 2023, was $29.6 million.
Advertising
The Company recognizes advertising expense in selling, general, and administrative expenses as the services are incurred. Total advertising expense from continuing operations was $0.7 million for Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively, and $0.8 million for Fiscal 2023.
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) income 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):
Stock options and restricted stock 668 902 812
Income Taxes
The current provision for income taxes represents estimated amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed for the year. The Company recognizes any penalties when necessary as part of selling, general, and administrative expenses. As a matter of operation, the Company first calculated the effective tax on continuing operations, and then allocated the remaining taxes to our discontinued operations, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740.
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 December 28, 2025, the Company's deferred tax assets are primarily composed of $6.8 million relating to net operating loss carryforwards and $2.2 million relating to interest expense carryovers. To the extent there is an ownership change in the Company of 50 percent or greater, as defined by Section 392 of the Internal Revenue Code, the ability to utilize these tax attributes, as well as others, against taxable income may be limited. The Company does not anticipate this limitation to apply.
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. During Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded a $1.5 million valuation allowance recorded against the certain net deferred tax assets related specifically to the sale of BGSF Professional to offset future tax benefits that may not be realized. The valuation allowances recorded relate to capital losses and stock-based compensation. If these items are ultimately utilized, the Company will recognize a tax benefit up to the full amount of the valuation allowance.
The Company follows the guidance of 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, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic ASC 740) Income Taxes. The ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. As of December 28, 2025, we adopted this standard and it has been applied prospectively. This change did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 11 - DEBT
On September 8, 2025, the Company paid the balance on the existing Term Loan and Revolving Facility using the proceeds from the sale of BGSF Professional. See “Note 4 - Discontinued Operations.”
On July 16, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which would have matured on July 16, 2024 and subsequently canceled, led by BMO, as lead administrative agent, lender, letters of credit issuer, and swing line lender. The Company entered into four amendments from August 18, 2022 through May 19, 2023, which changed the interest rate component from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), exercised the option to borrow $40 million, required 2.5% of the original principal balance of the new term loan, permitted a foreign entity acquisition, modified the distributions terms, and increased a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") by $6.0 million.
On March 12, 2024, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated (the “Restated Agreement”) with a maturity, which provided for a Revolving Facility which permitted the Company to borrow funds in an aggregate amount up to $40 million. The Restated Agreement also provided for a term loan commitment, which permitted the Company to borrow funds from time to time (the “Term Loan”). In July 2024, the Company exercised the option to borrow on a delayed draw term loan of $4.3 million related to payments on the Arroyo Consulting Acquisition's working capital “true up”, hold backs, and year one contingent consideration. On November 6, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Restated Agreement, which reduced the availability on the Revolving Facility an aggregate amount up to $20 million.
On March 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Waiver and Second Amendment to Restated Agreement in which the lenders unanimously waived noncompliance with the covenants as of December 29, 2024 and March 30, 2025 and established a new definition of Applicable Margin, a reduction of the swing line sublimit to zero, and limiting the aggregate revolving credit borrowings to $8.0 million. On May 7, 2025, the Company entered into a Waiver and Amendment which provided that the lenders unanimously waived noncompliance on the requirement of at least $2.0 million in cash equity contributions by extending the deadline and adding the option of issuing subordinated debt in the amount of $2.0 million. On August 4, 2025, the Company entered into a Waiver and Amendment in which the lenders unanimously waived noncompliance with the foregoing covenants as of June 29, 2025 and the Company would finalize and close the sale BGSF Professional no later than September 30, 2025. During Fiscal 2025, the Company recognized into interest expense approximately $0.8 million related to the amendments on unamortized debt issuances costs.

NOTE 12 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting standard for fair value measurements defines fair value and establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value. The standard is applicable whenever assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. The fair value hierarchy established prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
60
BGSF, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities - includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs - includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and requires the Company to develop relevant assumptions.
There were no transfers between the respective Levels during Fiscal 2025. In connection with the sale of BGSF professional, see “Note 4 - Discontinued Operations”, the Level 3 contingent consideration obligation was converted into a Level 1 note payable. The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
Financial Statement Classification Fair Value Hierarchy December 29,2024
Convertible note Level 2 $ 4,368
On September 8, 2025, the Company paid the balance on the convertible note using the proceeds from the sale of BGSF Professional. Key inputs in determining the fair value of the convertible note as of December 29, 2024 included current stock price, the conversion price, and the maturity date. Key inputs in determining the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is included in discontinued operations, as of December 29, 2024 included discount rates of approximately 7% as well as management's estimates of future sales volumes and EBITDA. Before the sale of BGSF Professional, we recognized a gain of $0.5 million on contingent consideration in Fiscal 2025.
NOTE 13 - CONTINGENCIES
The Company is engaged from time to time in legal matters and proceedings arising out of its normal course of business. The Company establishes a liability related to its legal proceedings and claims when it has determined that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that an obligation is reasonably possible, the Company will, if material, disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate of the loss can be made. No provision has been recorded for any claims as of December 28, 2025 or December 29, 2024.
The Company insures against, subject to and upon the terms and conditions of various insurance policies, claims or losses from workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, property damage, professional liability, employment practices, fiduciary liability, fidelity losses, crime and cyber risk, and director and officer liability. Under the Company's bylaws, the Company’s directors and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company.

NOTE 15 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
In December 2013, the Board adopted the original 2013 Plan. Under the original 2013 Plan team members, directors and consultants of the Company may receive incentive stock options and other awards. To the extent any option or award expires unexercised or is canceled, terminated or forfeited in any manner without the issuance of common stock thereunder, such shares shall again be available for issuance under the original 2013 Plan. As of December 28, 2025, a total of approximately 1.3 million shares remain available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.
The term of each option is determined by the Board but cannot exceed 10 years. Unless otherwise specified in an option agreement, options vest and become exercisable on the following schedule: 20% immediately and 20% on each anniversary date of the grant date. Each option shall be designated as an incentive stock option (“ISO”) or a non-qualified option (“NQO”). The exercise price of an ISO shall not be less than the fair market value of the stock covered by the ISO at the grant date; provided, however, the exercise price of an ISO granted to any person who owns, directly or indirectly, stock of the Company constituting more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company or of any affiliate of the Company, shall not be less than 110% of such fair market value.
The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions in the following table. Because this option valuation model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed below. The Company bases the estimate of expected volatility on the historical volatilities of the Company for a period equal to the expected life of the option.
The risk-free rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company expects to use historical data to estimate team member termination within the valuation model; separate groups of team members that have similar historical termination behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reasonable. However, these estimates and assumptions may change in the future based on actual experience as well as market conditions.
For Fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $0.4 million of compensation expense from continuing operations related to stock awards, respectively. Unamortized share-based compensation expense from continuing operations as of December 28, 2025 amounted to $0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over the next 2.2 years. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of stock options for the years ended:
Weighted-average fair value of awards $ 3.58 $ 5.95 $ 3.00
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate 4.2 % 4.0 % 4.2 %
Weighted-average volatility factor 56.1 % 52.2 % 52.8 %
Weighted-average expected life 10.0 yrs 10.0 yrs 10.0 yrs
