Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
| 1. |
Nature of the Business |
SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP" or the "Corporation"), and its subsidiaries (and SGRP together with its subsidiaries may be referred to as "SPAR Group", the "Company", "SPAR", "We", or "Our") is a global merchandising and brand marketing services company, providing a broad range of services to retailers, consumer goods manufacturers and distributors around the world.
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filled with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2024.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the included disclosures are adequate, and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2024, consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates its 100%-owned subsidiaries and all of the 51%-owned joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the amounts disclosed for contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant balances subject to such estimates and assumptions include carrying amounts of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowances for receivables, carrying amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities incurred from operations and customer incentives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
Reportable segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
The Company provides similar merchandising, marketing and business services throughout the world and has reportable regional segments: (i) Americas, which is comprised of United States, Canada, Brazil and Mexico; (ii) Asia-Pacific ("APAC”), which is comprised of Japan, China, and India; and (iii) Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA”), which is comprised of South Africa. Certain corporate expenses have been allocated to segments based on each segment’s revenue as a percentage of total company revenue.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will require Companies to report additional segment information, including certain significant segment expenses, and permit the disclosure of additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024 and for interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-07 on January 1, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805):Recognition and Initial Measurement, which will require joint ventures to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value upon formation. The guidance will be effective for the Company prospectively for all joint venture formations on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not believe adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require Companies to report specific categories of rate-reconciliation, certain details of income taxes paid and of certain information by tax jurisdictions. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Change of Control, Voting and Restricted Stock Agreement
The Change of Control, Voting and Restricted Stock Agreement (the "CIC Agreement") became effective on January 28, 2022, when signed by the Company and Mr. Robert G. Brown, ("Mr. Brown"), Mr. William H. Bartels ("Mr. Bartels"), SPAR Administrative Services, Inc. ("SAS"), and SPAR Business Service, Inc. ("SBS"). Mr. Brown, Mr. Bartels, SAS and SBS may be referred to collectively as the "Majority Stockholders".
Pursuant to the CIC Agreement, the Corporation issued to the Majority Stockholders
Pursuant to the CIC Agreement, all actions, claims and demands between the Majority Stockholders and the Corporation were resolved; and the Majority Stockholders and their affiliates during the five-year term of the CIC Agreement, ending on June 25, 2027, have agreed to give up certain rights with respect to the management of the Corporation.

Mr. William H. Bartels retired as an employee of the Company as of January 1, 2020 but continues to serve as a member of SPAR's Board. Mr. Bartels is also one of the founders and a significant stockholder of SGRP. Effective January 18, 2020, SPAR's Governance Committee proposed and unanimously approved retirement benefits for the five-year period commencing January 1, 2020, and ending December 31, 2024 (the "Five-Year Period"), for Mr. Bartels.

2023 and 2022 Executive Deferred Compensation Agreements
The Corporation prepared a 2022 Stock Compensation Plan that would have included Awards for NQSOs and RSUs (as defined below), but that plan was never submitted to its shareholders for approval. However, the Board had previously approved, for certain key executives, incentive stock-based awards for 2023 and 2022 using RSUs or cash. Since there were no plan based RSUs available, those executives instead received deferred compensation in the form of Phantom Stock Units ("PSUs"), which correspond to an equal number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock ("SGRP Shares"). The number of PSUs received equals the dollar value of the incentive award divided by the per share market price of SGRP shares on the date of award. Each PSU represents the right of the grantee to receive cash payments based on the fair market value of SGRP Shares at the time of vesting, but not to receive SGRP Shares themselves. The number of the Grantee's PSUs will be automatically adjusted to reflect the specified events respecting the SGRP Shares as provided in the applicable Phantom Stock Agreement. The PSUs do not possess the rights of common stockholders of the Corporation, including any voting or dividend rights, and cannot be exercised or traded for SGRP Shares. Due to the cash settlement feature, the PSUs are classified as liabilities in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") contains "forward-looking statements" within the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, made by, or respecting, SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP" or the "Corporation",) and its subsidiaries (and SGRP together with its subsidiaries may be referred to as "SPAR Group" or the "Company"). There also are forward-looking statements contained in: (a) SGRP's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 1, 2024, and SGRP's First Amendment to the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on April 30, 2024 (as so amended, the "Annual Report"); and (b) SGRP's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports and statements as and when filed with the SEC (including this Quarterly Report and the Annual Report, each a "SEC Report"). "Forward-looking statements" are defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and other applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations, as amended (together with the Securities Act and Exchange Act, the "Securities Laws").
Readers can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "continue," "plan," "project," or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements made by the Company in this Quarterly Report and the Annual Report may include (without limitation) statements regarding: risks, uncertainties, cautions, circumstances and other factors ("Risks"). Those Risks include (without limitation): the impact of the Company's strategic review process or any resulting action or inaction; the impact of selling certain of the Company's subsidiaries or any resulting impact on revenues, earnings or cash; the impact of adding new directors or new finance team members; the potential negative effects of any stock repurchase and/or payment; the potential continuing negative effects of the COVID pandemic on the Company's business; the Company's potential non-compliance with applicable Nasdaq director independence, bid price or other rules; the Company's cash flow or financial condition; and plans, intentions, expectations, guidance or other information respecting the pursuit or achievement of the Company's corporate objectives. The Company's forward-looking statements also include (without limitation) those made (as applicable) in this Quarterly Report and the Annual Report in "Business", "Risk Factors", "Legal Proceedings", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", "Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance", "Executive Compensation", "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters", and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence".
You should carefully review and consider the Company's forward-looking statements (including all risk factors and other cautions and uncertainties) and other information made, contained or noted in or incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report, the Annual Report, and the other applicable SEC Reports, but you should not place undue reliance on any of them. The results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company (including its affiliates, assets, business, clients, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, legal costs, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, performance, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks, trends or condition) and other events and circumstances planned, intended, anticipated, estimated or otherwise expected by the Company (collectively, "Expectations"), and our forward-looking statements (including all Risks) and other information reflect the Company's current views about future events and circumstances. Although the Company believes those Expectations and views are reasonable, the results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company or other events and circumstances may differ materially from our Expectations and views, and they cannot be assured or guaranteed by the Company, since they are subject to Risks and other assumptions, changes in circumstances and unpredictable events (many of which are beyond the Company's control). In addition, new Risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure you that its Expectations will be achieved in whole or in part, that it has identified all potential Risks, or that it can successfully avoid or mitigate such Risks in whole or in part, any of which could be significant and materially adverse to the Company and the value of your investment in the Company's Common Stock.
These forward-looking statements reflect the Company's Expectations, views, Risks and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and the Annual Report, and the Company does not intend, assume any obligation, or promise to publicly update or revise any forward- looking statements (including any Risks or Expectations) or other information (in whole or in part), whether as a result of new information, new or worsening Risks or uncertainties, changed circumstances, future events, recognition, or otherwise.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of our operating performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net income before (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expense, (iv) Board of Directors incremental compensation expense, (v) restructuring, (vi) goodwill impairment, (vii) nonrecurring legal settlement costs and associated legal expenses unrelated to the Company's core operations, and (viii) special items as determined by management. This metric is a supplemental measure of our operating performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists 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 ongoing operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in future periods, and any such modification may be material. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.
Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance compared to other measures, which can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. We also use Adjusted to supplement U.S. GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies and to make budgeting decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditure or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in our cash requirements for our working capital needs; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense and the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for replacement of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-cash compensation, which is a key element of our overall long-term compensation; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges or cash receipts resulting from matters we do not find indicative of our ongoing operations; and |
| ● |
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. |

Net Revenues
Net revenues for three months ended March 31, 2024 were $68.7 million, compared to $64.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $4.3 million, or 7% despite having exited Australia and the US NMS JV (which revenues are included within the 2023 numbers but not in current year).
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Americas net revenue was $54.7 million and $48.6 million, respectively, an increase of $6.1 million, or 13% almost all deriving from our US remodel business and our Canadian operations, and in part by foreign currency benefit in Brazil, and offset by slower performance in the Resource Plus joint venture.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, APAC net revenue was $5.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 5%.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, EMEA net revenue was $8.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 14% driven by negative foreign exchange rate falling volumes at retail level, and the loss of certain customers.
Cost of Revenues
The Company's cost of revenues consists of its in-store labor and field management wages, related benefits, travel and other direct labor-related expenses and was 81.7% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 78.0% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross margin is due to: (i) revenue mix in US owned (see hereunder in Americas); and (ii) a material decrease in margin in South Africa (see hereunder in EMEA).
Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $56.2 million, compared to $50.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $6.0 million, or 12%.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Americas cost of revenues were $44.6 million and $38.3 million, respectively, an increase of $6.3 million, or 16%. The Americas cost of revenue as a percent of net revenue was 82% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and 79% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, reflecting a decrease in gross margin. The decrease in gross margin was expected and forecasted in our budget and is due (i) to the revenue mix in US owned where we saw a material increase in Remodels which is a lower margin business; and (ii) a decline in Resource Plus’s gross margin.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, APAC cost of revenues were $4.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, an decrease of $0.1 million, or 2%. The APAC cost of revenue as a percent of net revenue was 78% and 76% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cost as a percentage of revenue was primarily the result of economical and business constraints in China and Japan.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, EMEA cost of revenues were $7.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively a decrease of $0.3 million, or 4%. The EMEA cost of revenue as a percent of net revenue was 84% and 76% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in gross margin is due to (i) additional variable expenses in the cost of sales, (ii) government imposed wage increases (8.5%) ahead of inflation (5,3%) at a time when the economy is under pressure which forced margin reduction in contract renegotiations.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses of the Company include its corporate overhead, project management, information technology, executive compensation, human resources, legal and accounting expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $9.6 million, or 14% of net revenue, and approximately $10.5 million, or 16% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, Americas selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $7.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, or no change from prior year levels.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, APAC selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, a decrease of -$0.2 million, or -12% mostly consistent with reduction in revenue.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, EMEA selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, a decrease of -$0.6 million, or -40%, implemented as a reaction to the drop in revenue and increase in cost of sales.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, depreciation and amortization was approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, interest expense was approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Other Expense (Income), Net
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, other expense (income), net was approximately $0.0 million and -$0.1 million, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, income tax expense was approximately $1.9 million with an effective rate of 20.5% and $1.0 million with an effective rate of 36.9% , respectively. For the first quarter of 2024, our effective rate of 20.5% was in line with the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and related notes thereto. However, we believe we have used reasonable estimates and assumptions in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Although we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.
The significant accounting policies and estimates used in preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are described in our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and the notes thereto, which are included in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2024. Except as detailed in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Funding Requirements
Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to risks detailed in the section titled "Risk Factors" included elsewhere in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company believes that based upon the continuation of the Company's existing credit facilities, projected results of operations, vendor payment requirements and other financing available to the Company (including amounts due to affiliates), sources of cash availability should be manageable and sufficient to support ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements over the next 12 months. However, delays in collection of receivables due from any of the Company's major clients, a significant reduction in business from such clients, or a negative economic downturn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, cash resources, and ongoing ability to fund operations.
The Company is a party to various domestic and international credit facilities. These various domestic and international credit facilities require compliance with their respective financial covenants. See Note 3 to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 0.6 million and $ 2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $ 0.9 million and $ 0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was approximately $ 6.3 million and $ (0.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Reflecting the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on the activity above resulted in a increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 of approximately $ $ 5.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
| Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
| Controls and Procedures |
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as our principal financial and accounting officer, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, based on their evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not detect or prevent misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management utilized the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) to conduct an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
3 Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Mar. 31, 2024 | |||
| Notes to Financial Statements | |||
| Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filled with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2024.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the included disclosures are adequate, and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2024, consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates its 100%-owned subsidiaries and all of the 51%-owned joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the amounts disclosed for contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant balances subject to such estimates and assumptions include carrying amounts of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowances for receivables, carrying amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities incurred from operations and customer incentives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
Reportable segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
The Company provides similar merchandising, marketing and business services throughout the world and has reportable regional segments: (i) Americas, which is comprised of United States, Canada, Brazil and Mexico; (ii) Asia-Pacific ("APAC”), which is comprised of Japan, China, and India; and (iii) Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA”), which is comprised of South Africa. Certain corporate expenses have been allocated to segments based on each segment’s revenue as a percentage of total company revenue.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will require Companies to report additional segment information, including certain significant segment expenses, and permit the disclosure of additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024 and for interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-07 on January 1, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805):Recognition and Initial Measurement, which will require joint ventures to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value upon formation. The guidance will be effective for the Company prospectively for all joint venture formations on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not believe adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require Companies to report specific categories of rate-reconciliation, certain details of income taxes paid and of certain information by tax jurisdictions. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

North Mill Capital Credit Facility
The Company, through SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. ("SMF") and SPAR Canada Company ULC ("SCC", and collectively with SMF, the “NM Borrowers”), has a secured revolving credit facility in the United States (the "US Revolving Credit Facility") and Canada (the "Canada Revolving Credit Facility", and collectively with the US Revolving Credit Facility, the "NM Credit Facility") with North Mill Capital, LLC, d/b/a SLR Business Credit ("NM").
In order to obtain, document and govern the NM Credit Facility, SMF, SCC, SGRP and certain of SGRP's direct and indirect subsidiaries in the United States and Canada (including SMF and SCC as borrowers and SGRP as a guarantor, collectively, the "NM Loan Parties") entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with NM dated as of April 10, 2019, which, as amended from time to time (as amended, the "NM Loan Agreement"), governs the NM Credit Facility. Pursuant to the NM Loan Agreement, the NM Borrowers agreed to reimburse NM for legal and documentation fees incurred in connection with the NM Loan Agreement and such amendments.
On July 1, 2022, the NM Loan Parties and NM executed and delivered a Fourth Modification Agreement, effective as of June 30, 2022 (the "Fourth Modification Agreement"), pursuant to which the NM Loan Parties and NM agreed to extend the NM Credit Facility from October 10, 2023, to October 10, 2024, and increased the amount of the US Revolving Credit Facility to $17.5 million while the Canada Revolving Credit Facility remained at million. In addition, the Fourth Modification Agreement permanently increased SMF's borrowing base availability for billed receivables to up to 90% from 85%, and unbilled receivables to up to 80% from 70%, and increased the cap on unbilled accounts for SMF to $6.5 million from $5.5 million.
On August 9, 2022, the NM Loan Parties and NM executed and delivered a Fifth Modification Agreement, effective immediately (the "Fifth Modification Agreement"), pursuant to which the NM Loan Parties and NM agreed to temporarily increase the borrowing base availability under the NM Credit Facility, and the NM Borrowers agreed to pay certain additional fees.
On February 1, 2023, the NM Loan Parties and NM executed and delivered a Sixth Modification Agreement, effective immediately (the "Sixth Modification Agreement"), pursuant to which the NM Loan Parties and NM agreed to increase the amount of the US Revolving Credit Facility to $28.0 million and increase the Canada Revolving Credit Facility to million. In addition, the Sixth Modification Agreement increased the cap on unbilled accounts in the borrowing base for SMF to $7.0 million from $6.5 million.
On March 27, 2024, the NM Loan Parties and NM executed and delivered a Seventh Modification Agreement, effective immediately (the "Seventh Modification Agreement"), pursuant to which the NM Loan Parties and NM agreed to extend the NM Credit Facility from October 10, 2024 to October 10, 2025.
The Restated US Note and Restated Canadian Note (together, the "NM Notes") and the NM Loan Agreement together require the NM Borrowers to pay interest on the loans thereunder equal to: (i) the designated from time to time by Wells Fargo Bank; plus (ii) one and nine-tenths percentage points (1.90%) or an aggregate minimum of 6.75% per annum. In addition, the NM Borrowers are paying a facility fee to NM in an amount equal to: (i) for the year commencing on October 10, 2022, approximately $0.1 million plus 0.80% of the amount of any advances other than under the US Revolving Credit Facility plus an additional facility fee of $15,000 for every incremental $1.0 million of loan balance in excess of $21.0 million, and (ii) for the year commencing on October 10, 2023, approximately $0.2 million plus 0.80% of the amount of any advances other than under the US Revolving Credit Facility plus an additional facility fee of $15,000 for every incremental $1.0 million of loan balance in excess of $21.0 million. For the Sixth Modification Agreement, the NM Borrowers paid NM a fee of approximately $28,000.
As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate interest rate was 10.32% per annum and the aggregate outstanding loan balance was approximately $14.6 million, which is included within lines of credit and short-term loans in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate outstanding loan balance is divided between the US Revolving Credit Facility and the Canada Revolving Credit Facility as follows: (i) the outstanding loan balance under the US Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $13.7 million; and (ii) the outstanding loan balance under the Canada Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $0.9 million.
The NM Credit Facility contains certain financial and other restrictive covenants and also limits certain expenditures by the NM Loan Parties, including maintaining a positive trailing EBITDA for each the NM Borrowers (i.e., SMF and SCC) and imposes limits on all of the NM Loan Parties (including SGRP) on non-ordinary course payments and transactions, incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness, capital expenditures and certain other investments. The NM Loan Parties were in compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2024.

Change of Control, Voting and Restricted Stock Agreement
The Change of Control, Voting and Restricted Stock Agreement (the "CIC Agreement") became effective on January 28, 2022, when signed by the Company and Mr. Robert G. Brown, ("Mr. Brown"), Mr. William H. Bartels ("Mr. Bartels"), SPAR Administrative Services, Inc. ("SAS"), and SPAR Business Service, Inc. ("SBS"). Mr. Brown, Mr. Bartels, SAS and SBS may be referred to collectively as the "Majority Stockholders".
Pursuant to the CIC Agreement, the Corporation issued to the Majority Stockholders 2,000,000 restricted shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which converted into 3,000,000 SGRP Shares pursuant to the 1:1.5 conversion ratio set forth in the CIC Agreement. The final shares under the CIC Agreement vested on November 10, 2023, and all of the corresponding SGRP Shares had been issued or were in the process of being issued by December 31, 2023.
Pursuant to the CIC Agreement, all actions, claims and demands between the Majority Stockholders and the Corporation were resolved; and the Majority Stockholders and their affiliates during the five-year term of the CIC Agreement, ending on June 25, 2027, have agreed to give up certain rights with respect to the management of the Corporation.
Bartels' Retirement and Director Compensation
Mr. William H. Bartels retired as an employee of the Company as of January 1, 2020 but continues to serve as a member of SPAR's Board. Mr. Bartels is also one of the founders and a significant stockholder of SGRP. Effective January 18, 2020, SPAR's Governance Committee proposed and unanimously approved retirement benefits for the five-year period commencing January 1, 2020, and ending December 31, 2024 (the "Five-Year Period"), for Mr. Bartels. The aggregate value of benefits payable to Mr. Bartels is approximately $0.2 million per year and a total of $1.1 million for the Five-Year Period.
As of March 31, 2024, there are approximately $178,425 of benefits payable, which are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
2023 and 2022 Executive Deferred Compensation Agreements
The Corporation prepared a 2022 Stock Compensation Plan that would have included Awards for NQSOs and RSUs (as defined below), but that plan was never submitted to its shareholders for approval. However, the Board had previously approved, for certain key executives, incentive stock-based awards for 2023 and 2022 using RSUs or cash. Since there were no plan based RSUs available, those executives instead received deferred compensation in the form of Phantom Stock Units ("PSUs"), which correspond to an equal number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock ("SGRP Shares"). The number of PSUs received equals the dollar value of the incentive award divided by the per share market price of SGRP shares on the date of award. Each PSU represents the right of the grantee to receive cash payments based on the fair market value of SGRP Shares at the time of vesting, but not to receive SGRP Shares themselves. The number of the Grantee's PSUs will be automatically adjusted to reflect the specified events respecting the SGRP Shares as provided in the applicable Phantom Stock Agreement. The PSUs do not possess the rights of common stockholders of the Corporation, including any voting or dividend rights, and cannot be exercised or traded for SGRP Shares. Due to the cash settlement feature, the PSUs are classified as liabilities in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Effective as of March 24, 2022 (the "2022 Grant Date"), the Corporation issued an award of 111,111 PSUs to each of its Executives: Kori G. Belzer; William Linnane; and Ron Lutz.

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates its 100%-owned subsidiaries and all of the 51%-owned joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
|
| Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the amounts disclosed for contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant balances subject to such estimates and assumptions include carrying amounts of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowances for receivables, carrying amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities incurred from operations and customer incentives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
| Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Segment Reporting
Reportable segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
The Company provides similar merchandising, marketing and business services throughout the world and has reportable regional segments: (i) Americas, which is comprised of United States, Canada, Brazil and Mexico; (ii) Asia-Pacific ("APAC”), which is comprised of Japan, China, and India; and (iii) Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA”), which is comprised of South Africa. Certain corporate expenses have been allocated to segments based on each segment’s revenue as a percentage of total company revenue.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will require Companies to report additional segment information, including certain significant segment expenses, and permit the disclosure of additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024 and for interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-07 on January 1, 2024.
