Mission Staffing's three-year trajectory tells a story most staffing firms would envy. Revenue grew 72%. EBITDA grew 236%. Net income grew 383%. Every line moved in the right direction, but the speed at which they diverged is what matters.

The 2025 full-year numbers confirm what 2024 first hinted at: this is a structurally better business. Operating expenses have compressed from 26.3% of revenue to 21.9% — 440 basis points of durable operating leverage.

And the segment story is clearer now. Temp is the engine. Its EBITDA tripled to $4.45M, contributing 72% of total company EBITDA in 2025. Perm remains the high-margin specialist — smaller, but punching above its weight on a per-dollar basis.

§ 01 — The EBITDA Trajectory

Topline up 72%.
EBITDA up 236%.

A 3× gap between revenue growth and EBITDA growth is what operating leverage looks like when it's working. The 2025 actuals confirm it's durable.

Segment contribution

EBITDA by year and segment

Temp segment tripled from 2023 and now drives 72% of total EBITDA. Perm contributed early, Temp is finishing strong.

Temp EBITDA added $2.3M in 2025 alone — more than the entire company generated in 2023.

The leverage story

EBITDA margin.
Nearly doubled.

From 8.4% to 16.3% in two years.

§ 02 — Revenue & Mix

Two engines.
Both firing.

Perm doubled in two years. Temp grew 62%. Both segments grew faster in 2025 than in 2024 — rare in this cycle.

Revenue composition

The mix keeps tilting to Perm.

Perm share: 27.0% → 28.8% → 31.6%. Slow, steady structural mix lift.

Gross margin by segment

Margins converging upward.

Perm GM normalized to 40.1%. Temp GM expanded to 37.3%. The gap is closing.

§ 03 — The Leverage Engine

How profits are
outrunning revenue.

Fixed-cost absorption is doing the work. OpEx grew 44% over two years while revenue grew 72%.

Cost efficiency

OpEx as % of revenue

440 basis points of leverage captured since 2023.

Expense discipline

Categories in absolute dollars

Payroll grew ~28% over two years — well below revenue's 72% growth.

§ 04 — Segment Deep Dive

A tale of two
businesses.

High-margin specialist

Permanent Placement

Revenue doubled. EBITDA up 360%. Growth rate accelerating.

The compounding engine

Temp & Consulting

Revenue up 62%. EBITDA up 204%. Now the bigger profit driver.

§ 06 — Six Insights

What the numbers
are really saying.

01

EBITDA grew 3× faster than revenue.

Revenue grew 72% from 2023 to 2025; EBITDA grew 236%. That 3× gap is the cleanest signal available that the business has structural operating leverage — not just scale, but scale with improving unit economics.

02

Temp is now the dominant profit engine.

Temp EBITDA tripled from $1.46M to $4.45M — contributing 72% of total company EBITDA in 2025. This is a reversal from the 2024 narrative where Perm drove the margin breakout.

03

The 2024 payroll tax spike was a one-off.

Consultant payroll taxes as a % of consultant payroll: 8.5% (2023), 18.3% (2024), 8.9% (2025). 2024 was the anomaly. The normal rate is ~8-9%, and that's what's delivering the margin expansion now.

04

Payroll costs grew 28% while revenue grew 72%.

Internal payroll & related costs: $4.38M → $4.61M → $5.61M. Meanwhile revenue went from $22M to $37.8M. Producer leverage is real — each team member is generating significantly more revenue.

05

Perm growth is accelerating.

Perm revenue YoY growth: 33% (2024) → 51% (2025). While everyone expected the perm tailwind to fade, it actually accelerated. Worth understanding: new verticals, new producers, or market share gains?

06

Cash conversion is outstanding.

Net income as % of revenue went from 4.7% (2023) to 13.2% (2025). With $3K in annual depreciation and zero interest, virtually every dollar of EBITDA converts to cash. A rare profile.

§ 07 — Qualitative Assessment

Strengths, risks,
and questions worth asking.

What's Working

Structural Strengths

  • Operating leverage is real and durable.Two consecutive years of margin expansion confirms it wasn't a 2024 fluke.
  • Dual-engine balance.Temp drives volume and EBITDA; Perm drives mix-lift and per-dollar profitability.
  • Capital-light model.Depreciation of only $3K/year means nearly all EBITDA converts to cash.
  • Producer leverage is compounding.Revenue per internal headcount is rising materially.
!
What to Watch

Risk Signals

  • Perm cyclicality.Perm placement is the most recession-sensitive line — a downturn will hit hardest here, especially as mix has shifted toward it.
  • Commission concentration.Perm cost of services was $7.16M in 2025 — almost entirely commissions. Producer retention = revenue retention.
  • Temp G&A surged.Temp segment G&A jumped from $232K (2024) to $625K (2025). A ~170% increase needs a clear explanation.
  • Taxes normalized up sharply.Combined taxes were $194K in 2024 and $1.18M in 2025 — a 6× jump. Plan for normalized tax burden going forward.
Where to Press

Opportunities

  • Invest behind the Perm acceleration.51% YoY growth suggests hiring more perm producers has outsized ROI at current unit economics.
  • Push Temp GM further.37.3% is a new high. Bill-rate optimization and consultant mix could push it to 40%+.
  • Entity structure review.Two separate entities at this scale may have tax or transfer-pricing optimization opportunities.
  • Grow ancillary revenue.Temp conversion fees, payroll services, and interview awards are small but pure-margin — room to scale.

Questions for Leadership

Diligence Items

  • What drove the 51% Perm growth?Verticals, client wins, producer additions, average placement fee increases — each has different forward implications.
  • Why did Temp G&A nearly triple?Legal, bad debt, software, settlements — the composition matters for forecasting.
  • Client concentration risk?At $11.9M in Perm revenue, the top 3–5 clients need to be understood.
  • What's the 2026 operating plan?Margin expansion eventually plateaus — what's the next lever?
