"We are very pleased with this quarter's performance. While revenue showed a decline during the quarter, our growth has restarted when compared to the first quarter. In addition, we continued to strengthen our gross profit and gross margins and, with continued control over our SG&A, we maintained our Adjusted EBITDA levels from a year ago, maintaining a trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million," stated Brendan Flood, Executive Chairman of Staffing 360 Solutions. "The Net Loss attributable to common stock of $1.3 million included $1.8 million of non-cash charges related to financing actions and non-cash compensation."

Mr. Flood continued, "On July 18, 2017, Staffing Industry Analysts issued their 2016 staffing company rankings for the USA. Staffing 360 Solutions entered the rankings for the first time at #99. We view this as a validation of our strategy and a testament to the hard work of all of our employees and associates."
