“BBSI delivered second quarter results in line with the trends we've been communicating, with strong new client additions once again exceeding our expectations. Continued softness in client hiring remains our primary growth headwind and has not yet shown the recovery we had anticipated. We saw positive client pricing trends improve throughout Q2 as the workers' compensation market continues to firm up. This has been offset by a slowing of favorable prior-year claims adjustments — a trend we're seeing across the industry. We continue to view 2026 as the low point for margin as our cumulative pricing actions continue to build in the periods ahead.”
