First Advantage (NASDAQ:FA): Strongest Q1 Results from the Professional Staffing & HR Solutions Group
As the craze of earnings season draws to a close, here's a look back at some of the most exciting (and some less so) results from Q1. Today, we are looking at professional staffing & hr solutions stocks, starting with First Advantage (NASDAQ:FA). The Professional Staffing & HR Solutions subsector within Business Services is set to benefit from evolving workforce trends, including the rise of remote work and the gig economy. With companies casting a wider net to find talent due to remote work, the expertise of staffing and recruiting companies is even more valuable. For those who invest wisely, the use of predictive AI in recruitment and screening as well as automation in HR workflows can enhance efficiency and scalability. On the other hand, digitization means that talent discovery is less of a manual process, opening the door for tech-first platforms. Additionally, regulatory scrutiny around data privacy in HR is evolving and may require companies in this sector to change their go-to-market strategies over time. The 7 professional staffing & hr solutions stocks we track reported a slower Q1. As a group, revenues beat analysts' consensus estimates by 0.5% while next quarter's revenue guidance was in line. While some professional staffing & hr solutions stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they have collectively declined. On average, share prices are down 1.8% since the latest earnings results. Processing approximately 100 million background checks annually across more than 200 countries and territories, First Advantage (NASDAQ:FA) provides employment background screening, identity verification, and compliance solutions to help companies manage hiring risks. First Advantage reported revenues of $354.6 million, up 109% year on year. This print exceeded analysts' expectations by 2.9%. Overall, it was an exceptional quarter for the company with an impressive beat of analysts' EPS estimates and a solid beat of analysts' full-year EPS guidance estimates. 'We are pleased that First Advantage delivered solid financial performance in the first quarter, exceeding our expectations. We are continuing to see strong traction through upsell, cross-sell, and new logos, with sequential quarterly improvement in the base business and continued high customer retention levels. Our focused vertical strategy, with a depth of expertise across a broad range of industries, is delivering results and providing balance in the current environment,' said Scott Staples, Chief Executive Officer. First Advantage achieved the biggest analyst estimates beat, fastest revenue growth, and highest full-year guidance raise of the whole group. Unsurprisingly, the stock is up 15.5% since reporting and currently trades at $17.30. Is now the time to buy First Advantage? Access our full analysis of the earnings results here, it's free.

With roots dating back to 1948 as the first specialized recruiting firm for accounting and finance professionals, Robert Half (NYSE:RHI) provides specialized talent solutions and business consulting services, connecting skilled professionals with companies across various fields. Robert Half reported revenues of $1.35 billion, down 8.4% year on year, falling short of analysts' expectations by 4.3%. It was a disappointing quarter as it posted a significant miss of analysts' EPS estimates. Robert Half delivered the weakest performance against analyst estimates and slowest revenue growth in the group. As expected, the stock is down 1.9% since the results and currently trades at $45.58.

ManpowerGroup reported revenues of $4.09 billion, down 7.1% year on year. This number topped analysts' expectations by 2.9%.

Born from a corporate spinoff in 2017 to focus on employee experience technology, Alight (NYSE:ALIT) provides human capital management solutions that help companies administer employee benefits, payroll, and workforce management systems. Alight reported revenues of $548 million, down 2% year on year. This result surpassed analysts' expectations by 1.2%.

Alight had the weakest full-year guidance update among its peers. The stock is up 4.5% since reporting and currently trades at $5.47. Read our full, actionable report on Alight here, it's free. Thanks to the Fed's rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has been on a steady path downward, easing back toward that 2% sweet spot. Fortunately (miraculously to some), all this tightening didn't send the economy tumbling into a recession, so here we are, cautiously celebrating a soft landing. The cherry on top? Recent rate cuts (half a point in September 2024, a quarter in November) have propped up markets, especially after Trump's November win lit a fire under major indices and sent them to all-time highs. However, there's still plenty to ponder — tariffs, corporate tax cuts, and what 2025 might hold for the economy. Want to invest in winners with rock-solid fundamentals?

First Advantage (NASDAQ:FA) Beats Q1 Sales Targets, Full-Year Outlook Exceeds Expectations
Background screening provider First Advantage (NASDAQ:FA) reported Q1 CY2025 results exceeding the market's revenue expectations , with sales up 109% year on year to $354.6 million. The company's full-year revenue guidance of $1.55 billion at the midpoint came in 2.4% above analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.17 per share was 30.2% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy First Advantage? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $354.6 million vs analyst estimates of $344.4 million (109% year-on-year growth, 2.9% beat) Adjusted EPS: $0.17 vs analyst estimates of $0.13 (30.2% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $92.11 million vs analyst estimates of $81.79 million (26% margin, 12.6% beat) The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $1.55 billion at the midpoint Management reiterated its full-year Adjusted EPS guidance of $0.95 at the midpoint EBITDA guidance for the full year is $430 million at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $416.5 million Operating Margin: 2.1%, up from -0.4% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 2.4%, down from 18.8% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $2.60 billion 'We are pleased that First Advantage delivered solid financial performance in the first quarter, exceeding our expectations. We are continuing to see strong traction through upsell, cross-sell, and new logos, with sequential quarterly improvement in the base business and continued high customer retention levels. Our focused vertical strategy, with a depth of expertise across a broad range of industries, is delivering results and providing balance in the current environment,' said Scott Staples, Chief Executive Officer. Processing approximately 100 million background checks annually across more than 200 countries and territories, First Advantage (NASDAQ:FA) provides employment background screening, identity verification, and compliance solutions to help companies manage hiring risks. Reviewing a company's long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. With $1.05 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, First Advantage is a small player in the business services space, which sometimes brings disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from economies of scale and numerous distribution channels. On the bright side, it can grow faster because it has more room to expand. As you can see below, First Advantage's 16.7% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was incredible. This shows it had high demand, a useful starting point for our analysis. We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within business services, a half-decade historical view may miss recent innovations or disruptive industry trends. First Advantage's annualized revenue growth of 14.6% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results suggest healthy demand. This quarter, First Advantage reported magnificent year-on-year revenue growth of 109%, and its $354.6 million of revenue beat Wall Street's estimates by 2.9%. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 46.3% over the next 12 months, an improvement versus the last two years. This projection is eye-popping and indicates its newer products and services will fuel better top-line performance. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) stock benefiting from the rise of AI. Click here to access our free report one of our favorites growth stories. First Advantage was profitable over the last five years but held back by its large cost base. Its average operating margin of 5.1% was weak for a business services business. Looking at the trend in its profitability, First Advantage's operating margin decreased by 7.2 percentage points over the last five years. This raises questions about the company's expense base because its revenue growth should have given it leverage on its fixed costs, resulting in better economies of scale and profitability. First Advantage's performance was poor no matter how you look at it - it shows that costs were rising and it couldn't pass them onto its customers. In Q1, First Advantage generated an operating profit margin of 2.1%, up 2.6 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development and shows it was more efficient. We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company's growth is profitable. First Advantage's EPS grew at an astounding 19.5% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 16.7% annualized revenue growth. However, we take this with a grain of salt because its operating margin didn't expand and it didn't repurchase its shares, meaning the delta came from reduced interest expenses or taxes. In Q1, First Advantage reported EPS at $0.17, in line with the same quarter last year. This print easily cleared analysts' estimates, and shareholders should be content with the results. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects First Advantage's full-year EPS of $0.83 to grow 15.4%. We were impressed by how significantly First Advantage blew past analysts' revenue, EPS, and EBITDA expectations this quarter. We were also excited its full-year EPS guidance outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Zooming out, we think this quarter featured some important positives. The stock remained flat at $14.95 immediately after reporting. Should you buy the stock or not? When making that decision, it's important to consider its valuation, business qualities, as well as what has happened in the latest quarter. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.

First Advantage Reports First Quarter 2025 Results
First Quarter 2025 Highlights1 Reaffirming Full Year 2025 Guidance ATLANTA, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Advantage Corporation (NASDAQ: FA), a leading provider of global software and data in the HR technology industry, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. Key Financials (Amounts in millions, except per share data and percentages) 1 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Adjusted Operating Cash Flows are non-GAAP measures. Please see the schedules accompanying this earnings release for a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable respective GAAP measures. 'We are pleased that First Advantage delivered solid financial performance in the first quarter, exceeding our expectations. We are continuing to see strong traction through upsell, cross-sell, and new logos, with sequential quarterly improvement in the base business and continued high customer retention levels. Our focused vertical strategy, with a depth of expertise across a broad range of industries, is delivering results and providing balance in the current environment,' said Scott Staples, Chief Executive Officer. 'It has been approximately six months since we closed on our transformational Sterling acquisition. Our integration and synergy generation efforts are advancing ahead of schedule, and we have now actioned $37 million in run rate cost synergies, progressing well toward our objective of $60 million to $70 million. Our AI and automation efforts are allowing us to continue to deliver higher levels of efficiency as we grow the business, and we continue to receive positive feedback from our customers on our industry-leading software and data offerings. We look forward to sharing additional details about our updated FA 5.0 strategy and financial objectives during our investor day later this month,' Staples concluded. Inaugural Investor Day to be Held on May 28, 2025 First Advantage will host its inaugural investor day in New York City and webcast live on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, with presentations beginning at 9:00 a.m. ET.

The event will also include Q&A sessions with executive leadership. (See press release issued on April 2, 2025.) Reaffirming Full Year 2025 Guidance 'Considering our modest outperformance versus expectations in the first quarter and our latest view of the macroeconomic environment, we are reaffirming our full year 2025 guidance, which includes our increased scale with the acquisition of Sterling and the expected benefits of realized synergies,' commented Steven Marks, Chief Financial Officer. 'We remain focused on our integration plan execution, customer retention, synergy realization, and net leverage reduction.' The following table summarizes our full year 2025 guidance. 2 A reconciliation of the foregoing guidance for the non-GAAP metrics of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to GAAP net (loss) income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to GAAP diluted net (loss) income per share cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results. Actual results may differ materially from First Advantage's full year 2025 guidance as a result of, among other things, the factors described under 'Forward-Looking Statements' below.

Following the conference call, a replay of the webcast will be available on the Company's investor relations website, Alternatively, the live webcast and subsequent replay will be available at Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements relate to matters such as our industry, business strategy, goals, and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources, and other financial and operating information. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as 'anticipate,' 'assume,' 'believe,' 'continue,' 'could,' 'estimate,' 'expect,' 'intend,' 'may,' 'plan,' 'potential,' 'predict,' 'project,' 'future,' 'will,' 'seek,' 'foreseeable,' 'target,' 'guidance,' the negative version of these words, or similar terms and phrases. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: For additional information on these and other factors that could cause First Advantage's actual results to differ materially from expected results, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'), as such factors may be updated from time to time in our filings with the SEC, which are or will be accessible on the SEC's website at The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date of this press release, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Information This press release contains 'non-GAAP financial measures' that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ('GAAP'). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures 'Adjusted EBITDA,' 'Adjusted EBITDA Margin,' 'Adjusted Net Income,' 'Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share,' and 'Adjusted Operating Cash Flow.' Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share have been presented in this press release as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and as further adjusted for loss on extinguishment of debt, share-based compensation, transaction and acquisition-related charges, integration and restructuring charges, and other non-cash charges. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. We define Adjusted Net Income for a particular period as net (loss) income before taxes adjusted for debt-related costs, acquisition-related depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, transaction and acquisition-related charges, integration and restructuring charges, and other non-cash charges, to which we then apply the related effective tax rate. We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted weighted average number of shares outstanding—diluted. Additionally, we use Adjusted Operating Cash Flow to review the liquidity of our operations. We define Adjusted Operating Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less cash costs directly associated with the Sterling acquisition and related integration. We believe Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measure for management and investors in assessing the Company's ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service its debt. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the reconciliations included at the end of this press release. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company. Numerical figures included in the reconciliations have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in various tables may not be arithmetic aggregations of the figures that precede them.
