Jeff Eberwein, Chief Executive Officer at Hudson Global, said, “Our fourth quarter financial results reflect modest improvement over the prior year quarter, with the Americas region delivering the strongest results. Throughout 2024, we contended with a general low level of global hiring activity as well as unusually low attrition at many legacy clients. Although these challenges are largely out of our control, we are well positioned to take advantage of future growth in the market. During the year, we invested in new technologies to best support our clients’ recruitment needs and streamline operations, including sourcing, screening, and onboarding procedures. Altogether in 2024, we invested approximately $3.4 million in sales, marketing, and technology above maintenance levels to enhance future growth.”
Jake Zabkowicz, Hudson RPO’s Global CEO, noted, “Despite the challenging global talent environment, we continued to consistently deliver best-in-class service to a growing number of clients on a global scale. To that end, we are proud to have been named on the HRO Today’s Baker’s Dozen List for the 16th consecutive year in the list of top enterprise RPO providers, for the 12th consecutive year as a top RPO provider in APAC and for the 8th consecutive year as a top RPO provider in EMEA.”
Mr. Zabkowicz continued, “We have been investing significantly to fuel future growth, and have enhanced our go-to-market strategy by expanding our service offering to existing and prospective clients alike. With the recent launch of our Digital Division, and the hiring of Stephanie Edwards as Chief Digital Officer, we are revolutionizing our digital capabilities and enterprise strategies to deliver innovative, efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality talent solutions to our clients worldwide.”

HUDSON GLOBAL, INC.
RECONCILIATION FOR CONSTANT CURRENCY
(in thousands)
(unaudited)
The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of its revenue generated outside of the United States. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect its results of operations. Constant currency information compares financial results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The company currently defines the term “constant currency” to mean that financial data for a previously reported period are translated into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate financial data for the current period. Changes in revenue, adjusted net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), and other non-operating income (expense), operating income (loss) and EBITDA (loss) include the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Variance analysis usually describes period-to-period variances that are calculated using constant currency as a percentage. The company’s management reviews and analyzes business results in constant currency and believes these results better represent the company’s underlying business trends. The company believes that these calculations are a useful measure, indicating the actual change in operations. There are no significant gains or losses on foreign currency transactions between subsidiaries. Therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates generally impact only reported earnings.

3. Adjusted net income or loss per diluted share are Non-GAAP measures defined as reported net income or loss and reported net income or loss per diluted share before items such as acquisition-related costs and non-recurring severance and professional fees after tax that are presented to provide additional information about the Company’s operations on a basis consistent with the measures that the Company uses to manage its operations and evaluate its performance.

Adjusted net income or loss per diluted share should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for net income or loss and net income or loss per share and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as measures of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. Further, adjusted net income or loss and adjusted net income or loss per diluted share as presented above may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
