Segment Disclosures
16. Segment Disclosures
The Company’s operating segments, which also represent its reportable segments, are based on the organizational structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”, the Company’s CEO) to determine resource allocation and assess performance. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company modified its reportable segments. The Company’s three reportable segments: (1) Enterprise Talent Management, (2) Science, Engineering & Technology, and (3) Education, reflect the specialty services the Company provides to customers and represent how the business is organized internally. Intersegment revenue represents revenue earned between the reportable segments and is eliminated from total segment revenue from services.
The Company combined its former P&I and OCG segments into the ETM segment in the first quarter of 2025, responding to a shift in customer demand toward integrated workforce solutions and enabling a more streamlined and efficient go-to-market approach. The Company also realigned certain customers from the SET segment to the ETM segment to support this integrated strategy. Also in the first quarter of 2025, the Company moved MRP's Sevenstep business from the SET segment to the ETM segment as part of the broader integration of MRP. The 2024 ETM and SET segment information has been recast to conform to the new structure.
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the fourth quarter of 2024 and included the relevant interim disclosures retrospectively for 2024. The following tables present information about the reported revenue from services of the Company by reportable segment, along with a reconciliation to earnings before taxes, for the second quarter and June year-to-date 2025 and 2024. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented since the Company does not produce such information internally nor does it use such information to manage its business.

(1) Cost of services are those costs directly associated with the earning of revenue. The primary examples of these types of costs are temporary employee wages, along with other employee related costs, including associated payroll taxes, temporary employee benefits, such as service bonus and holiday pay and health insurance, and workers’ compensation costs. These costs differ fundamentally from SG&A expenses in that they arise specifically from the action of providing the Company's services to customers whereas SG&A costs are incurred regardless of whether or not the Company places temporary employees with its customers.
(2) Direct salaries refers to the compensation expenses for employees directly related to the Company’s operations and service delivery. These expenses include salaries, related payroll taxes, severance, various benefits and performance-based incentives and bonuses for these employees.
(3) For both second quarter and June year-to-date 2025, other segment expenses for each reportable segment included:
•ETM and EDU- Shared services costs for IT, human resources, legal and finance support, other professional services and overhead expenses, facilities and equipment-related costs, and operational software licenses.
•SET - Shared services costs for IT, human resources, legal and finance support, other professional services and overhead expenses, operational software licenses, and facilities and equipment-related costs.
