“During the quarter, we saw solid demand for both our legacy staffing and acquired brands,” said TrueBlue CEO Steve Cooper. “The addition of Staff Management | SMX, PeopleScout and HRX has grown TrueBlue’s client list by providing customers with workforce management and recruiting process outsourcing (RPO) solutions with worldwide capabilities.”

Cooper expressed confidence that the company’s staffing, workforce management and RPO businesses, combined with its acquisition strategy, have placed TrueBlue in position to drive strong revenue growth.

“We are seeing the benefits of our strategic acquisitions, which are complementing the demand for our core business,” Cooper said. “The end of the second quarter marked the one-year anniversary of the acquisition of Seaton, and as we look back at it a year later, we are extremely pleased with every aspect of the acquisition. PeopleScout, Staff Management | SMX and HRX met all performance expectations while adding top talent and expanding our technological capabilities.”

For the third quarter of 2015, the company estimates revenue in the range of $658 million to $673 million and adjusted net income per share of $0.52 to $0.58.
