SPAR Group (NASDAQ:SGRP) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results

SPAR Group (NASDAQ:SGRP) posted its quarterly earnings data on Tuesday. The business services provider reported ($0.39) EPS for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.02 by ($0.41), FiscalAI reports. SPAR Group had a negative net margin of 9.52% and a negative return on equity of 34.89%. The firm had revenue of $22.02 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $40.00 million. During the same period in the prior year, the company posted ($0.24) earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from SPAR Group’s conference call:

• SPAR completed divestiture of its international joint ventures and rebuilt its leadership team to become a North America‑centric, people‑powered and tech‑enabled company focused on an outcome‑based, on‑demand merchandising model.
• Fiscal 2025 results showed $136.1M in net revenue (U.S. & Canada +3.3% comparable) but significant margin compression and losses: gross profit of $21.7M (15.9%), operating loss of $16.9M, and net loss of $24.6M ($1.04/sh), with adjusted EBITDA at a negative $8.6M.
• Results were affected by roughly $7M of one‑time SG&A items and $4.8M of restructuring/severance; management expects an annual SG&A run‑rate of about $25.5M–$26.5M, while the balance sheet shows $3.3M cash, positive working capital of $14.7M, and $18.4M net cash used in operating activities for the year.
• Guidance for fiscal 2026 targets revenue of $143M–$151M and improved gross margins of 20.5%–22.5%, driven by a deliberate shift toward higher‑margin merchandising work and expected wallet expansion with existing clients.
• SPAR announced a live strategic partnership with ReposiTrak to combine out‑of‑stock detection and route optimization with SPAR’s on‑demand field teams, creating a closed‑loop model that turns signals into verified in‑store fixes across multiple retail channels.
