Atlantic will acquire all outstanding shares of Staffing 360 Solutions in a transaction valued at approximately $25 million
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Atlantic International Corp. (“Atlantic”) (OTC: ATLN), and Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (“Staffing 360”) (Nasdaq: STAF), both leading providers of strategic outsourced services and workforce solutions, today announced that their boards of directors unanimously approved a definitive agreement under which Atlantic will acquire all outstanding shares of Staffing 360’s common stock. The Staffing 360 shareholders will receive 1.202 Atlantic shares for each Staffing 360 share. Atlantic and Staffing 360 shareholders will own approximately 90% and 10%, respectively, of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.
The transaction is expected to close within the next 90 days and is subject to the approval of Staffing 360’s shareholders and other customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval. Those matters, including the record date and meeting date, will be communicated subsequent to the receipt of SEC approval of related proxy materials. When complete, Staffing 360 will continue to operate under its current leadership team and brand as a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic. The record date and the date for the special meeting of shareholders to vote on the transaction will be communicated to shareholders in the coming days.
“We have great respect for Staffing 360 and its talented team, and are enthusiastic about the mutual benefits this transaction brings to the clients of both entities,” said Atlantic’s CEO Jeffrey Jagid. “The merger provides a unique opportunity to increase our business by approximately 50 percent to an annualized revenue run rate of approximately $620 million and allows us to become an even bigger force in the broad staffing sector. Our objective is to build a multibillion-dollar diversified services company through both organic growth and M&A, and this transaction is consistent with the achievement of our goals.
“Joining forces provides an expanded suite of services, broader geographic reach and enhanced professional opportunities for our combined organization. Together, we are even stronger, and I look forward to a bright future ahead,” Jagid added.
Brendan Flood, Staffing 360’s CEO, said, “We are excited to join forces with Atlantic International and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Lyneer Staffing Solutions, to become part of a distinguished, national leader in the sector. Building on complementary footprints and shared values, our combined company will be even better positioned to deliver enhanced levels of service to a growing number of companies throughout the United States whose management teams recognize the value of outsourcing and the trends toward engaging flexible workforces. This merger is a testament to the strengths of our respective brands and the accomplishments of our dedicated team members.”
Anticipated Benefits to Shareholders from the Merger
Enhanced scale and liquidity with potential for premium valuation: With a pro-forma revenue base of approximately $620 million, Atlantic and Staffing 360 shareholders are expected to benefit from the scale, liquidity and capital alternatives of a larger combined company. Additionally, larger capitalized human capital management and workforce solutions companies have historically carried premium valuations.
Improved cost structure: The combination of Atlantic and Staffing 360 is expected to create cost efficiencies and decrease Atlantic’s operating expense ratio, leading to improved profitability. Atlantic has identified opportunities to further enhance operating cost efficiencies in the year following the close of the transaction.
Benefit from a more diversified customer base: Atlantic’s broad customer base has grown organically and through M&A and is positioned to withstand periods of market volatility. Together with Staffing 360, the combined company will serve more than 1,500 customers, with no customer generating more than 5% of total revenue.

These and other forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the failure to consummate the proposed transaction or to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate such transaction on a timely matter or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

$ATLN News: Atlantic International Corp. Reports Over $104 Million in Q2 Revenue and 17% Revenue Growth for the 2nd Quarter
Growth Follows Atlantic’s Completed Merger with Lyneer Staffing Solutions, Creating a Top 40 U.S. Staffing Firm with Over $400 Million in Annual Revenue
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atlantic International Corp. (“Atlantic”) (OTC: ATLN), a leading provider of strategic staffing outsourced services and workforce solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. “Atlantic achieved substantial revenue growth in the second quarter, which was our first reporting period as a newly public company. We are extremely proud of all our employees who work every day to deliver e-commerce logistics on time and at the right price for our customers,” said Jeffrey Jagid, Chief Executive Officer.
Key Q2 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue: Atlantic International Corp. reported revenue of $104.6 million, representing a 17% increase compared to $89.4 million for the same period last year. Growth is attributed to expansion within our existing customer base and new customer wins, as well as improving demand for our core service offerings.
- Gross Profit: Gross profit for the quarter was $11.5 million, representing 11.0% of revenue, compared to $10.9 million, or 12.2% of revenue, in the same period last year. This was driven by expansion costs as we grow our relationships with existing clients opening new facilities and our onboarding of new clients.
Margin expansion is expected as we leverage our in-place executive team, existing back-office operations and add higher margin business, including permanent staffing revenues. We expect our next acquisition to bring an array of technology customers, which we expect to result in higher margin revenue and further diversify our customer base.
- Total Customers: As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately 1,100 total customers, compared to 1,000 as of March 31, 2024, a 10% increase quarter-over-quarter.
Operational Highlights:
- Expansion Initiatives: Atlantic International Corp.’s subsidiary Lyneer continues to execute on its strategic growth initiatives, including the expansion into new markets and the launch of innovative product lines. We are targeting combined annual revenue in excess of $1 billion in 2025, including acquisitions.
- New Onsite Locations: The company successfully opened the Rock Hill, South Carolina logistics center on behalf of UPS, bolstering our position in the fast-growing Southeast market and enhancing our service capabilities for the world’s largest global logistics provider.
- Investments in Operating Platform and M&A Expertise: We are making investments in our technology and infrastructure, including personnel, today, that we anticipate will deliver long-term results. Our newly established operating platform can service 3x Atlantic’s revenue run-rate, while delivering improved client service and satisfaction.
Management Commentary
“We are pleased to report another strong quarter, driven by solid revenue growth under the Atlantic brand,” said Jeffrey Jagid, CEO. “Our focus on operational excellence and strategic expansion has enabled us to deliver robust results and strengthen our market position. Looking ahead, we remain committed to growing topline revenue through new facilitates with our existing clients, through new customer acquisition, and through strategic M&A, creating significant value for our shareholders. We also look forward to our pending uplisting to a National Securities Exchange.”
Outlook
For the third quarter of 2024, Atlantic International Corp. expects revenue to be in the range of $105 - $115 million, reflecting continued momentum in our core customer base and seasonal trends. The company anticipates margins to improve, supported by ongoing efficiency initiatives and strategic investments, as well as reduced integration costs from the completed acquisition of Lyneer.
