The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) of TrueBlue, Inc. (the “company,” “TrueBlue,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the financial statements for the interim periods presented. We follow the same accounting policies for preparing both quarterly and annual financial statements.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year nor for any other fiscal period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.

•PeopleReady (excluding RenewableWorks) has a large, diverse set of clients, generally with frequent, low dollar invoices due to the daily nature of the work we perform. This results in high turnover in accounts receivable.

•Centerline Drivers (“Centerline”) has a mix of client sizes, many with low dollar weekly invoices, but other clients that are invoiced on a consolidated basis, resulting in a high concentration of revenue related to its top 10 clients. Payment terms are slightly longer than PeopleReady.

•Our PeopleScout and Healthcare Staffing Professionals (“HSP”) brands have a smaller number of clients in a variety of industries, and are generally invoiced monthly on a consolidated basis. Invoice amounts are generally higher for these brands than our other businesses, with longer payment terms than PeopleReady and Centerline. These businesses also have significant balances due from governmental entities.

•Our Staff Management | SMX and SIMOS Insourcing Solutions brands have a smaller number of clients, and follow a contractual billing schedule. These clients generally operate in the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution industries and have longer payment terms than our other businesses.

•Our RenewableWorks brand has a small number of large clients that operate in the energy industry, generally with high dollar invoices, and follows a contractual billing schedule. Payment terms are slightly longer than most of our other businesses.

When specific clients are identified as no longer sharing the same risk profile as their current pool, they are removed from the pool and evaluated separately. The credit loss rates applied to each aging category by pool are based on current collection efforts, historical collection trends, write-off experience, client credit risk, current economic data and forecasted information. The allowance for credit loss is reviewed and represents our best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses. Past due or delinquent balances are identified based upon a review of aged receivables performed by collections and operations. Past due balances are written off when it is probable the receivable will not be collected. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level. We consider our reporting units to be our operating segments or one level below (the component level) based on our organizational structure. Our reporting units with remaining goodwill as of June 29, 2025 were Centerline, PeopleScout, and HSP.

The quantitative impairment test, if necessary, involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, we conclude that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value of the goodwill. We consider a reporting unit’s fair value to be substantially in excess of its carrying value at a 20% premium or greater.

We performed our annual impairment test for goodwill as of the first day of the fiscal second quarter of 2025, which did not result in impairment of goodwill for any reporting unit. Refer to Note 6: Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional details on the impairment test, valuation methodologies, and inputs used in the fair value measurements.

The quantitative impairment test, if necessary, utilizes the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of each of our trademarks. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value.

We performed our annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the first day of the fiscal second quarter of 2025, which resulted in an impairment of $0.2 million to our SMX trademark. Refer to Note 6: Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional details on the impairment test, impairment charges, valuation methodologies, and inputs used in the fair value measurements.

As there is limited U.S. GAAP accounting guidance specific to for-profit business entities that receive government assistance, we have elected to analogize to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), specifically International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance. Following IAS 20, we recognize government assistance on a systematic basis over the periods in which we recognize the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, but only when there is reasonable assurance we will comply with all conditions attached to the grant and there is reasonable assurance the assistance will be received. We have interpreted “reasonable assurance” to mean “probable,” as defined in loss contingencies guidance in U.S. GAAP.

During the fiscal second quarter of 2025, we determined the reasonable assurance criteria was met for certain payroll tax credits for which recognition was previously deferred. As a result, $3.2 million and $6.0 million was recognized within cost of services and SG&A expense, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025. This also resulted in a reversal of previously accrued interest related to these benefits of $2.1 million, offset by recognition of related professional fees of $0.6 million, which were recorded within interest and other income (expense), net and SG&A expense, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025.

Based on the reasonable assurance criteria, we deferred recognition of certain benefits of $4.7 million and $15.7 million as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, until recognition becomes probable, which are included in accrued wages and benefits on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

There were no new accounting standards adopted during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 that had a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date.” ASU 2024-03 requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement as well as disclosure about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 (2027 for TrueBlue) and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (Q1 2028 for TrueBlue). We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our required disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires enhancements and further transparency to certain income tax disclosures, primarily to the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (fiscal 2025 for TrueBlue), on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our required disclosures.

Effective January 31, 2025, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of HSP. HSP is a long-term staffing and permanent hiring solutions provider, primarily focused on healthcare positions in the U.S. This acquisition allows us to expand revenue in the healthcare end-market while also diversifying our business.

Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, the base purchase price of $42.0 million was adjusted for estimated unpaid pre-close liabilities of the selling shareholders, cash acquired, and estimated excess working capital. The purchase price allocated to acquired assets and liabilities was cash consideration of $35.2 million. The purchase price is subject to further adjustment based on HSP’s final pre-close liabilities and working capital amounts. As part of the share purchase agreement, certain HSP employees can earn up to an additional $14.0 million based on the financial performance of the business over the next two years, which we have concluded should be treated as compensation expense. Any amounts probable of being paid out under the agreement are expensed over the required service period. We incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, which are included in SG&A expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The following table reflects our preliminary allocation of the purchase price to our best estimate of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using information available as of the acquisition date. Immaterial measurement period adjustments made to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the fiscal second quarter of 2025 have been reflected in the table below. Our preliminary purchase price allocation may be adjusted further as more information becomes available about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, primarily related to the settlement of assets and liabilities acquired.

(1) Goodwill represents the expected synergies with our existing businesses, the acquired assembled workforce, potential new clients and future cash flows after the acquisition of HSP, and is deductible for income tax purposes.

Intangible assets include identifiable intangible assets for customer relationships and trade names/trademarks. We estimated the preliminary fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets, which are subject to straight line amortization, using an income approach. These fair value measurements were based on Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired, including immaterial measurement period adjustments, as of January 31, 2025:

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of HSP are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 29, 2025, and the results of its operations are reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the period from February 1, 2025 to June 29, 2025. The amount of revenue and income from operations for HSP included on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) was $27.7 million and $0.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, respectively. HSP results have been combined with our historical PeopleScout segment, which was renamed PeopleSolutions beginning in 2025. We concluded the acquisition of HSP was not material to our consolidated results of operations and, as such, pro forma financial information was not required.

Our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:

(1)Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and deposits.

(2)Refer to Note 4: Restricted Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments for additional details on our held-to-maturity debt securities.

In addition to assets that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, impairment tests may subject our reporting units with goodwill and other intangible assets to nonrecurring fair value measurement. We performed our annual impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the first day of fiscal second quarter of 2025. Refer to Note 6: Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional details on the impairment charges, valuation methodologies, and inputs used in the fair value measurements.

For our annual goodwill impairment test as of the first day of fiscal second quarter of 2025, the fair value of each reporting unit was estimated using an equal weighting of the income and market approaches. The various inputs to these fair value models are considered Level 3. As a result of the test, all of our reporting units with remaining goodwill had a fair value in excess of their respective carrying value.

For our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test as of the first day of fiscal second quarter of 2025, the fair value of our trademarks were estimated utilizing the relief from royalty method. The various inputs to this fair value model are considered Level 3. As a result of the test, our SMX trademark with a carrying value of $2.7 million was written down to its fair value, and an impairment charge of $0.2 million was recognized on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025.

The following is a summary of the carrying value of our restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments:

Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments include collateral that has been provided or pledged to insurance carriers for workers’ compensation and state workers’ compensation programs. Our insurance carriers and certain state workers’ compensation programs require us to collateralize a portion of our workers’ compensation obligation. The collateral typically takes the form of cash and cash equivalents and highly rated investment grade securities, primarily in debt and asset-backed securities. The majority of our collateral obligations are held in a trust at the Bank of New York Mellon (“Trust”).

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of each of our held-to-maturity investments held in Trust, aggregated by investment category as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, were as follows:

The amortized cost and fair value by contractual maturity of our held-to-maturity investments are as follows:

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of certain debt securities have the right to call or prepay their obligations without penalty. We have no significant concentrations of counterparties in our held-to-maturity investment portfolio.

We hold company-owned life insurance policies to support our deferred compensation liability. Unrealized gains and losses related to investments still held at June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, which are included in SG&A expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), were as follows:

The activity related to the accounts receivable allowance for credit losses was as follows:

The balance of prepaid expenses and other current assets was made up of the following:

As of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, all criteria for classifying our Tacoma headquarters office building as held-for-sale were met. Completion of the sale of the building is expected within a year from June 29, 2025. The estimated fair value of the disposal group, less costs to sell, continues to exceed its carrying value of $11.8 million, and therefore no impairment charge was recorded during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025.

The balance of other current liabilities was made up of the following:

The following table reflects changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the period by reportable segment:

(1)Effective January 31, 2025, the company acquired HSP. The goodwill associated with the acquisition has been assigned to the HSP reporting unit, and included within the PeopleSolutions reportable segment (previously known as PeopleScout) based on our preliminary purchase price allocation. Refer to Note 2: Acquisition for additional details.

Effective March 31, 2025 (the first day of our fiscal second quarter of 2025), we combined our PeopleScout RPO and PeopleScout MSP reporting units into one reporting unit, PeopleScout. This change coincided with the elimination of PeopleScout MSP as an operating segment within the PeopleSolutions reportable segment (refer to Note 13: Segment Information for additional details). Immediately before the combination, we tested the PeopleScout RPO reporting unit, with a remaining goodwill balance of $22.4 million, and the PeopleScout MSP reporting unit, with a remaining goodwill balance of $0.8 million, for impairment. The PeopleScout RPO reporting unit’s fair value was substantially in excess of its carrying value, and the PeopleScout MSP reporting unit’s fair value approximated its carrying value. After combining the reporting units, the fair value of the PeopleScout reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value. As a result, no impairment charge was recognized.

We performed our annual impairment test as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter of 2025, for our reporting units with remaining goodwill: Centerline, PeopleScout and HSP. The fair value of each reporting unit was estimated using a weighting of the income and market valuation approaches. The income approach applied a fair value methodology to each reporting unit based on discounted cash flows. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internally-developed forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital, which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting unit being tested. The weighted average cost of capital used in our most recent impairment test ranged from 14.5% to 16.5%. We also applied a market approach, which develops a value correlation based on the market capitalization of similar publicly traded companies, referred to as a multiple, to apply to the operating results of the reporting units. The primary market multiples to which we compare are revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The income and market approaches were equally weighted in our most recent annual impairment test.

The combined fair values for all reporting units were then reconciled to our aggregate market value of our shares of common stock on the date of valuation, while considering a reasonable control premium. We consider a reporting unit’s fair value to be substantially in excess of its carrying value at a 20% premium or greater. Based on our annual impairment test, all of our reporting units’ fair values were substantially in excess of their respective carrying values, except for HSP, for which the estimated fair value was in excess of its carrying value by approximately 5%. This level of headroom is expected, due to the short amount of time that has passed between the acquisition date, when the carrying value of the reporting unit approximated its fair value, and our annual impairment test as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter of 2025. The goodwill balance for HSP as of June 29, 2025 was $17.5 million. Any significant adverse change in our near- or long-term projections or macroeconomic conditions could result in future impairment charges. We will continue to closely monitor the operational performance of this reporting unit.

Additionally, following performance of the annual impairment test we did not identify any events or conditions that make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recognized during the thirteen or twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025.

The following table presents our purchased finite-lived intangible assets:

(1)Excludes assets that are fully amortized.

The gross carrying amounts as of June 29, 2025 include preliminary fair valuation of customer relationships and trade names/trademarks of $14.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to the acquisition of HSP. Refer to Note 2: Acquisition for additional details.

Amortization expense of our finite-lived intangible assets was $1.3 million and $2.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

We did not identify any events or conditions that make it more likely than not an impairment of our finite-lived intangible assets may have occurred during the thirteen or twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025.

We held indefinite-lived trademarks of $4.6 million and $4.8 million as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, related to brands within our PeopleManagement and PeopleSolutions segments.

As a result of our annual impairment test as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter of 2025, we concluded that the carrying amount of a trademark related to the PeopleManagement segment exceeded its estimated fair value and we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $0.2 million, which was included in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025. The charge was primarily driven by an increase in the discount rate of 1.0% since our last impairment test. The remaining balance for this trademark was $2.5 million as of June 29, 2025. The fair value of the trademark related to the PeopleSolutions segment was in excess of its carrying amount of $2.1 million as of June 29, 2025, and therefore did not result in an impairment.

Additionally, following performance of the annual impairment test, we did not identify any additional events or conditions that make it more likely than not an additional impairment may have occurred. Accordingly, no further impairment charge was recognized during the thirteen or twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025.

We provide workers’ compensation insurance for our associates and permanent employees. The majority of our current workers’ compensation insurance policies cover claims for a particular event above our $5.0 million deductible limit, on a “per occurrence” basis. This results in our business being substantially self-insured.

Our workers’ compensation reserve for claims below the deductible limit is discounted to its estimated net present value. The discount rates used to estimate net present value are based on average returns of “risk-free” U.S. Treasury instruments available during the year in which the liability was incurred and the weighted average duration of the payments against the self-insured claims. Payments made against self-insured claims are made over a weighted average period of approximately 4 years as of June 29, 2025. The weighted average discount rate was 3.0% and 2.7% at June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the undiscounted workers’ compensation reserve to the discounted workers’ compensation reserve for the periods presented:

(1)Amounts shown are net of discount related to claims above our self-insured limits (“excess claims”).

Payments made against self-insured claims were $23.3 million and $21.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Our workers’ compensation reserve includes estimated expenses related to claims above our self-insured limits (“excess claims”), and we record a corresponding receivable for the insurance coverage on excess claims based on the contractual policy agreements we have with insurance carriers. We discount this reserve and corresponding receivable to its estimated net present value using the discount rates based on average returns of “risk-free” U.S. Treasury instruments available during the year in which the liability was incurred and the weighted average duration of the payments against the excess claims. The discounted workers’ compensation reserve for excess claims was $28.4 million and $38.6 million as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. The discounted receivables from insurance companies, net of valuation allowance, were $28.3 million and $38.3 million as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.

Workers’ compensation cost consists primarily of changes in self-insurance reserves net of changes in discount, monopolistic jurisdictions’ premiums, insurance premiums and other miscellaneous expenses. Workers’ compensation cost of $5.3 million and $4.8 million was recorded in cost of services on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and $6.5 million and $10.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

We have a revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and Key Bank, N.A. dated as of February 9, 2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $255.0 million, and matures on February 9, 2029. We have an option to increase the amount to $405.0 million, subject to lender approval. Included in the Revolving Credit Facility is a $25.0 million sub-limit for “Swingline” loans and a $25.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. On June 27, 2025, we entered into the first amendment to our credit agreement (“First Amendment”), which modified the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” in our financial covenants to exclude certain workforce reduction and lease exit costs for a limited period, as well as certain other provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 29, 2025, $53.8 million was drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility, which included $40.0 million of one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Loans and $13.8 million of Swingline loans, while $2.7 million was utilized by outstanding standby letters of credit, leaving $198.5 million unused under the Revolving Credit Facility. We are constrained by our most restrictive covenant, making $79.0 million available for additional borrowing. As of December 29, 2024, $7.6 million was drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility as a Swingline loan and $2.7 million was utilized by outstanding standby letters of credit.

Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we have the option to borrow funds under the revolving line of credit as a Term SOFR Loan, for a one-, three- or six-month term, or as a Base Rate Loan, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. Under a Term SOFR Loan, we are required to pay a variable rate of interest on funds borrowed based on the Term SOFR Screen Rate two days prior for the equivalent term, plus an adjustment of 0.10%, plus an applicable spread between 1.75% and 3.50%. Under a Base Rate Loan we are required to pay a variable rate of interest on funds borrowed based on a base rate plus an applicable spread between 0.75% and 2.50%. The base rate is the greater of the one-month Term SOFR Screen Rate two days prior plus 1.00%, the prime rate (as announced by Bank of America), or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. The applicable spread is determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 29, 2025, the outstanding balance under Term SOFR loans carried an applicable spread on the base rate of 3.50% and a base rate of 4.42%, resulting in an interest rate of 7.92%. The Term SOFR loans were primarily used to fund the acquisition of HSP.

Under a Swingline loan, we are required to pay a variable rate of interest on funds borrowed based on the base rate plus applicable spread between 0.75% and 2.50%, as described above. As of June 29, 2025, the applicable spread on the base rate was 2.50% and the base rate was 7.50%, resulting in an interest rate of 10.00%.

A commitment fee between 0.35% and 0.50% is applied against the Revolving Credit Facility’s unused borrowing capacity, with the specific rate determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit are priced at a margin between 1.50% and 3.25%, with the specific rate determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, plus a fronting fee of 0.25%.

Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, financial covenants.

The following financial covenants, as defined in the First Amendment of our Revolving Credit Facility, were in effect as of June 29, 2025:

•Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1.25, defined as the ratio of (a) trailing twelve months Consolidated EBITDA, adjusted for certain cash inflows and outflows to (b) cash interest expense. As of June 29, 2025, our consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.17.

•Asset coverage ratio of greater than 1.00, defined as the ratio of (a) 60% of accounts receivable to (b) total debt outstanding less unrestricted cash in excess of $50.0 million, subject to certain minimums. Under this covenant we are limited to $25.0 million in aggregate share repurchases in any twelve-month period. As of June 29, 2025, our asset coverage ratio was 2.40.

The following financial covenant, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, will replace the asset coverage ratio beginning the fiscal first quarter of 2026, or earlier at our discretion, subject to the terms of the agreement:

•Consolidated leverage ratio less than 3.00, defined as our funded indebtedness divided by trailing twelve months Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 29, 2025, we were in compliance with all effective covenants related to the Revolving Credit Facility.

We have provided our insurance carriers and certain states with commitments in the form and amounts listed below:

(1)We have agreements with certain financial institutions to issue letters of credit as collateral.

(2)Our surety bonds are issued by independent insurance companies on our behalf and bear annual fees based on a percentage of the bond, which are determined by each independent surety carrier. These fees do not exceed 2.0% of the bond amount, subject to a minimum charge. The terms of these bonds are subject to review and renewal every one to four years and most bonds can be canceled by the sureties with as little as 60 days’ notice.

We are involved in various proceedings arising in the normal course of conducting business. We believe the liabilities included in our financial statements reflect the probable loss that can be reasonably estimated and are immaterial. We also believe that the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for the Company's exposure in excess of the amount accrued is expected to be immaterial to the Company. It remains possible that despite our current belief, material differences in actual outcomes or changes in management's evaluation or predictions could arise that could have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Changes in the balance of each component of shareholders’ equity during the reporting periods were as follows:

(1)Under applicable Washington State law, shares purchased are not displayed separately as treasury stock on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are treated as authorized but unissued shares. It is our accounting policy to first record these purchases and the related excise tax as a reduction to our common stock account. Once the common stock account has been reduced to a nominal balance, remaining purchases are recorded as a reduction to our retained earnings. Furthermore, activity in our common stock account related to stock-based compensation is also recorded to retained earnings until such time as the reduction to retained earnings due to stock repurchases has been recovered.

(2)Foreign currency translation adjustments related to Labour Ready Temporary Services, Ltd. (“PeopleReady Canada”) that were recognized through net income (loss) upon the divestiture of the business during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024.

On May 14, 2025, our Board of Directors (“Board”) adopted a limited duration shareholder rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, TrueBlue issued, by means of a dividend, one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of TrueBlue common stock to shareholders of record on May 28, 2025. Initially, these Rights are not exercisable and will trade with, and be represented by, the shares of TrueBlue common stock. If exercisable, each Right will entitle the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) of the Company at a price of $30 per one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Preferred, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

The Rights Agreement will expire on May 13, 2026, unless prior to such date shareholder approval has been obtained to extend the term of the Rights Agreement, or the Rights are earlier redeemed, exchanged or terminated by the Company, as provided in the Rights Agreement.

The Rights Agreement is intended to reduce the likelihood that any entity, person or group is able to gain control of TrueBlue through open market accumulation without paying all shareholders an appropriate control premium or providing the Board with sufficient opportunity to make informed judgments and take actions that are in the best interests of all shareholders. The Rights Agreement is not intended to interfere with any merger or other business combinations approved by the Board.

Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for any discrete items that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate and, if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. Our quarterly tax provision and quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate are subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our full year pre-tax income or loss by jurisdiction, tax credits, government audit developments, changes in laws, regulations and administrative practices, valuation allowances recorded on deferred tax assets, and relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Additionally, our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss. For example, the impact of discrete items, tax credits, and non-deductible expenses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income or loss is lower.

We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent we believe it is more likely than not the asset will be realized. Quarterly, management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of existing deferred tax assets, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted, and the results of recent operations. A significant piece of objective negative evidence is the existence of a three-year cumulative loss. Such objective negative evidence limits the ability of management to consider other subjective evidence, such as projected taxable income. When appropriate, we record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

During the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, we performed our deferred tax asset realizability assessments and, as a result, we maintained a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets. Our conclusion was driven by U.S. and foreign pre-tax losses beginning in 2023 and continuing into 2025, combined with the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $59.1 million recorded during fiscal 2024.

Our effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 was (3.9)%. The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% and our effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance against our U.S. federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on our financial statements, but we do not anticipate it to be material.

Diluted common shares were calculated as follows:

Our operating segments and reportable segments are described below:

Our PeopleReady reportable segment provides blue-collar, contingent staffing through the PeopleReady operating segment. PeopleReady provides on-demand and skilled labor in a broad range of industries that include construction, transportation, manufacturing, retail, hospitality and energy.

Our PeopleManagement reportable segment provides contingent labor and outsourced industrial workforce solutions, primarily on-site at the client’s facility, through the following operating segments, which we have aggregated into one reportable segment in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

•OnSite: On-site management and recruitment for the contingent industrial workforce of manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities; and

•Centerline: Recruitment and management of contingent and dedicated commercial drivers to the transportation and distribution industries.

Our PeopleSolutions reportable segment provides professional and specialized talent acquisition solutions, as well as workforce management and compliance services.

During the fiscal first quarter of 2025, as a result of the HSP acquisition, we renamed our historical ‘PeopleScout’ reportable segment to ‘PeopleSolutions’. During the fiscal second quarter of 2025, we eliminated PeopleScout MSP as an operating segment for segment reporting purposes, as our chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) no longer regularly reviews the operating results of PeopleScout MSP, consistent with our strategy to simplify our operational structure.

We evaluate performance based on segment revenue and segment profit (loss). Segment revenue is net of intercompany eliminations. Segment profit (loss) includes revenue, related cost of services, and ongoing operating expenses directly attributable to the reportable segment. Segment profit (loss) excludes goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, depreciation and amortization expense, unallocated corporate general and administrative expense, interest and other income (expense), income taxes, and other costs and benefits not considered to be ongoing.

The following tables present our revenue from services by segment, with a reconciliation to total company revenue. Also, the tables present significant segment expense categories regularly provided to the CODM and included in the calculation of segment profit (loss). Cost of services and SG&A expense for the individual segments, as presented in the tables below, exclude certain costs and benefits that are also excluded from the calculation of segment profit (loss). Lastly, the tables include a reconciliation of segment profit (loss) to income (loss) before tax expense.

Asset information by reportable segment is not presented as we do not manage our segments on a balance sheet basis.

(the “company,” “TrueBlue,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a leading provider of digitally-enabled, specialized workforce solutions that connect employers and talent with precision and scale. Backed by decades of experience, a national footprint, an expansive talent network, deep local market insight, and global RPO reach, TrueBlue delivers total workforce solutions across the world's largest staffing markets. Client demand for contingent workforce solutions and outsourced recruiting services is cyclical and dependent on the overall strength of the economy and labor market, as well as trends in workforce flexibility. During periods of rising economic uncertainty, clients reduce their contingent labor in response to lower volumes and reduced appetite for expanding production or inventory, which reduces the demand for our services. That environment also reduces demand for permanent placement recruiting, whether outsourced or in-house. However, as the economy emerges from periods of uncertainty, contingent labor providers are uniquely positioned to respond quickly to increasing demand for labor and rapidly fill new or temporary positions, replace absent employees, and convert fixed labor costs to variable costs. Similarly, companies turn to hybrid or fully outsourced recruiting models during periods of rapid re-hiring and high employee turnover. Our business strategy is focused on accelerating growth to capture market share, while enhancing our long-term profitability. Key elements of this strategy include accelerating our digital transformation across the enterprise; strategically expanding our presence in high-growth, under-penetrated end markets as well as high-skill, high-value talent segments; optimizing our sales function to accelerate growth and capture market demand; and maintaining operational excellence to deliver efficiencies and enhance long-term profitability.

Total company revenue was $396.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, relatively unchanged compared to the same period in the prior year. Demand for temporary labor and permanent hiring continues to be soft, as clients focus on reducing operating costs and remain uncertain about future workforce needs.

Total company gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined to 23.6% for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to 26.4% for the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily due to changes in revenue mix toward our lower margin staffing businesses.

Total company selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense improved 7.4% to $89.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. SG&A expense improved as a result of operational cost management actions taken in response to the decline in demand for our services.

We recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $0.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 related to a trademark within our PeopleManagement segment. For the same period in the prior year, we recorded goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $59.7 million, primarily related to our PeopleReady reporting unit.

Income tax expense was $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to $46.5 million for the same period in the prior year. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets initially established in the fiscal second quarter of 2024, resulting in no current period income tax benefit for these jurisdictions.

The items above resulted in a net loss of $0.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to a net loss of $104.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

As of June 29, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.9 million and outstanding debt of $53.8 million. As of June 29, 2025, $79.0 million was available under the most restrictive covenant of our revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”), for total liquidity of $100.9 million.

The following table presents selected financial data:

Total company revenue was relatively unchanged at $396.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, and declined 4.1% to $766.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The acquisition of HSP in early 2025 contributed 4.1% and 3.5% of growth for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, respectively, partially offsetting organic revenue declines. Demand for temporary labor and permanent hiring continues to be soft, as clients are hesitant to make staffing decisions due to uncertainty around future workforce needs and are utilizing their existing workforce to reduce operating costs.

PeopleReady revenue declined 4.6% to $213.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, and declined 9.8% to $402.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. PeopleReady revenue declined as a result of continued labor market uncertainty, leading our clients to reduce their dependence on contingent labor to supplement their core workforce. Declines in demand were seen across most industries and geographies within our on-demand business, partially offset by growth within our skilled business during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025.

PeopleManagement revenue grew 1.6% to $133.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, and grew 1.4% to $269.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. PeopleManagement revenue grew as a result of strong demand within our commercial driving business. Growth from commercial driving was partially offset by declines within our OnSite business, as clients continue to be cautious to make significant changes to their workforce strategies after taking steps to reduce their dependence on variable labor.

PeopleSolutions revenue grew 19.7% to $49.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, and grew 8.2% to $94.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The acquisition of HSP in early 2025 contributed 39.9% and 31.7% of growth for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Organic revenue declined as labor market conditions have led to uncertainty around our clients future workforce needs, and clients continue to experience less employee turnover while also facing cost pressure. This has resulted in clients reducing hiring volumes, sourcing candidates with internal resources, and initiating hiring freezes to control costs. The decline in organic revenue was impacted by the loss of a large hospitality client in the prior year due to their decision to insource hiring for high-volume roles. Despite these challenges, we are executing our overall strategy of expanding into high-value professional roles and high-growth and under-penetrated end-markets with new business wins.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined 280 basis points to 23.6% for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. Changes in revenue mix resulted in a contraction of 250 basis points, driven by revenue shifts toward our lower margin staffing businesses. Additional depreciation of certain software within PeopleSolutions, reported in cost of services, contributed 30 basis points of contraction.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined 200 basis points to 23.5% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. Changes in revenue mix resulted in a contraction of 210 basis points, driven by revenue shifts toward our lower margin staffing businesses. Our staffing businesses contributed an additional 10 basis points of contraction as a result of pricing pressure typical of a low demand environment. Additional depreciation of certain software within PeopleSolutions, reported in cost of services, contributed 30 basis points of contraction. These contractions were partially offset by 50 basis points of expansion from lower workers’ compensation costs driven by favorable development of prior year reserves.

Total company SG&A expense improved by $7.2 million, or 7.4% for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, and improved by $19.5 million, or 9.6% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Operational cost management actions executed in response to the decline in demand for our services have resulted in a leaner cost structure, which strategically positions us to drive stronger profitability as industry demand rebounds. The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 included a benefit, net of related fees, of $5.4 million for recognition of certain COVID-19 government subsidies, compared to $6.8 million for the same periods in the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization decreased for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year, as certain intangible assets were fully amortized during 2024, primarily related to customer relationships. In the current year, depreciation of certain software within PeopleSolutions has been included in cost of services on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

We performed our annual impairment test as of the first day of our fiscal second quarter of 2025. As a result of this impairment test, we concluded that a trademark related to our PeopleManagement segment exceeded its estimated fair value and we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $0.2 million, which was included in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025. The charge was primarily driven by an increase in the discount rate. The remaining balance for this trademark was $2.5 million as of June 29, 2025. See Note 6: Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to our consolidated financial statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details.

Our tax provision and our effective tax rate are subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our full year pre-tax income or loss by jurisdiction, tax credits, government audit developments, changes in laws, regulations and administrative practices, valuation allowances recorded on deferred tax assets, and relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Additionally, our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss. For example, the impact of discrete items, tax credits, and non-deductible expenses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income or loss is lower.

For the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, our income tax expense is related primarily to our foreign operations. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets, initially established in the fiscal second quarter of 2024, resulting in no income tax benefit for these jurisdictions. Our conclusions to maintain a valuation allowance were driven by U.S. and foreign pre-tax losses beginning in 2023 and continuing into 2025, combined with the significant non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $59.1 million recorded during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024.

We evaluate performance based on segment revenue and segment profit (loss). Segment profit (loss) includes revenue, related cost of services, and ongoing operating expenses directly attributable to the reportable segment. Segment profit (loss) excludes goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, depreciation and amortization expense, unallocated corporate general and administrative expense, interest and other income (expense), income taxes, and other costs and benefits not considered to be ongoing. See Note 13: Segment Information, to our consolidated financial statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details on our reportable segments, as well as a reconciliation of segment profit (loss) to income (loss) before tax expense.

Segment profit (loss) should not be considered a measure of financial performance in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

PeopleReady segment performance was as follows:

PeopleReady segment profit (loss) improved $1.1 million and $3.2 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, and also improved as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively. Improvement was primarily due to operational cost management actions executed in response to the decline in demand for our services, which have resulted in a more efficient cost structure.

PeopleManagement segment performance was as follows:

PeopleManagement segment profit grew $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, and also improved as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively. Growth was primarily driven by higher revenue from the commercial driving business, coupled with a reduction in SG&A expense, which was the result of disciplined cost management actions to streamline our organizational structure and improve efficiency.

PeopleSolutions segment performance was as follows:

PeopleSolutions segment profit declined $0.9 million and $3.8 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, and also declined as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively. These declines were a result of the decline in revenue, including the loss of a large hospitality client in the prior year due to their decision to insource hiring for high-volume roles, the effects of which were softened by our cost management actions and inorganic growth from the acquisition of HSP.

The following highlights represent our operating outlook. These expectations are subject to revision as our business changes with the overall economy. As part of our strategic plan to optimize our business model, create efficiencies and bring our teams closer to our clients and associates, we continue to leverage existing systems, and refocus our team on sales efforts to deliver future growth.

•We expect revenue growth for the fiscal third quarter of 2025 to be between 5% and 11% as compared to the same period in the prior year. This range assumes current market conditions continue, and includes approximately 4% inorganic growth from the acquisition of HSP.

•We anticipate gross profit as a percentage of revenue to decline between 280 and 240 basis points for the fiscal third quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to prior year workers’ compensation reserve adjustment benefits not expected to repeat at the same level in the current year, as well as changes in business mix.

•For the fiscal third quarter of 2025, we anticipate SG&A expense to be between $93 million and $97 million, representing a decline compared to the same period in the prior year due to our cost management efforts.

•We expect basic weighted average shares outstanding to be approximately 30 million for the fiscal third quarter of 2025. This expectation does not include the impact of potential share repurchases.

•Due to the valuation allowance against our U.S. federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets, we expect minimal income tax expense for the fiscal third quarter of 2025.

•We expect capital expenditures and spending for software as a service assets to be between $17 million and $21 million for fiscal 2025. Approximately $3 million relates to spending for software as a service assets.

We believe we have a strong financial position and sufficient sources of funding to meet our short- and long-term obligations. As of June 29, 2025, we had $21.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $53.8 million debt outstanding. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, $2.7 million was utilized by outstanding standby letters of credit, leaving $198.5 million unused, of which $79.0 million is available for additional borrowing after considering our most restrictive covenant. We have an option to increase the total line of credit amount under the Revolving Credit Facility from $255.0 million to $405.0 million, subject to lender approval.

Cash generated through our core operations is generally our primary source of liquidity. Our principal ongoing cash needs are to finance working capital, fund capital expenditures, repay outstanding Revolving Credit Facility balances, and execute share repurchases. We manage working capital through timely collection of accounts receivable, which we achieve through focused collection efforts and tightly monitoring trends in days sales outstanding. While client payment terms are generally 90 days or less, we pay our associates daily and weekly, so additional financing through the use of our Revolving Credit Facility is sometimes necessary to support working capital needs in times of revenue growth. We also manage working capital through efficient cost management and strategically timing payments of accounts payable.

We continue to make investments in our technology platforms to increase the competitive differentiation of our services long-term and improve the efficiency of our service delivery model. In addition, we continue to transition our technology from on-premise software platforms to cloud-based software solutions to increase automation and the efficiency of running our business.

Outside of ongoing cash needed to support core operations, our insurance carriers and certain state workers’ compensation programs require us to collateralize a portion of our workers’ compensation obligation, for which they become responsible should we become insolvent. On a regular basis, these entities assess the amount of collateral they will require from us relative to our workers’ compensation obligation. Such amounts can increase or decrease independent of our assessments and reserves. We continue to have risk that these collateral requirements may be increased by our insurers due to our loss history and market dynamics. We pay our premiums and deposit our collateral, if required, in installments. The collateral typically takes the form of cash and cash-backed instruments, highly rated investment grade securities, letters of credit, and surety bonds. Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments supporting our self-insured workers’ compensation obligation are held in a trust at the Bank of New York Mellon (“Trust”) and are used to pay workers’ compensation claims as they are filed. See Note 7: Workers' Compensation Insurance and Reserves, and Note 4: Restricted Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments, to our consolidated financial statements found in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for details on our workers’ compensation program as well as the restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments held in Trust.

We have established investment policy directives for the Trust with the first priority to preserve capital, second to ensure sufficient liquidity to pay workers’ compensation claims, third to diversify the investment portfolio and fourth to maximize after-tax returns. Trust investments must meet minimum acceptable quality standards. The primary investments include U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency debentures, U.S. agency mortgages, corporate securities and municipal securities. For those investments rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations the minimum ratings at time of purchase are:
