Q1 2018 Highlights:

Brendan Flood, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Q1 2018 was another record revenue quarter for STAF 360.  During the quarter, not only did we significantly increase our revenue, we also improved efficiency, removed duplicative overhead costs across businesses, expanded our higher margin (temporary-hire) business segment sales team by 15 professionals, and improved cross-segment / cross-border cooperation between business segments, which resulted in 58% gross profits improvement and a substantial decrease in our net loss.  This was achieved despite the first quarter historically being the weakest quarter of the year, due to seasonality and weather issues.  Additionally, following the refinancing of our borrowing we improved our financial position and cash flow.”

Mr. Flood added, “As we continue to execute on our business plan, we expect to see similar growth in the second quarter and we are confident that 2018, will be a year of profitable enterprise-wide growth.

Results for Q1 2018 are as follows:
