In a report released today, Zach Cummins from B.Riley FBR maintained a Buy rating on PRGX Global (PRGX), with a price target of $12. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $8.02.

Cummins commented:

“PRGX Global (PRGX) reported 1Q19 results after the market close on Tuesday, April 30. Revenues were in-line, but adjusted EBITDA was slightly below expectations due to elevated SG&A expenses, some of which were non-recurring in nature and were not included in our model. Excluding the non-recurring expenses, adjusted EBITDA would have been in line with the Street and higher than our model. From a segment perspective, RAS-Americas (“Americas”) and Adjacent Services were modestly above our model, but were offset by lower RAS-Europe/ APAC (“EAP”) revenues. On a constant currency basis, EAP revenues were consistent with our projection. More importantly, strong execution by the sales team enabled PRGX to closed 34 new engagements in 1Q, which exceeded management’s quarterly sales growth goal.”
