Futuris Company Issues Letter to Shareholders
Provides a year-in-review, corporate initiatives and vision for 2021
FAIRFAX, Va., Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Futuris Company (OTC: FTRS) ("Futuris" or the "Company"), a Human Capital Management (HCM) company focused on the acquisition and operation of Executive Search, Staffing and Consulting Companies and Technology Services, today issued a letter to shareholders from its President, Kalyan Pathuri, providing a year-in-review, corporate initiatives and vision for 2021.
Dear Shareholders:
In August 2020, we successfully announced the closing of our share exchange agreement with Mission Mining Co. We subsequently changed our name to Futuris Company, symbol to 'FTRS' and reverse split our share price. These critical milestones were the first of many as we continue to make progress towards becoming a fully reporting public company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We continue to work feverishly on several other key aspects of our evolution as a public company that we anticipate being resolved at the latest during the first half of 2021.
Futuris Company was created with the vision to acquire and operate undervalued Executive Search, Staffing and Consulting Companies that specialize in professional service verticals such as Medical, Accounting/Finance, Information Technology, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), and Human Resources through a public company platform. We see tremendous opportunity in the staffing industry for not only consolidation, but to also make strategic investments in undervalued assets with option to acquire in a combination of cash, equity and/or debt in the best interest of our shareholders.
Our business model is uniquely structured to build a premium staffing organization by providing diversified staffing services leveraging our five core pillars – 1) strategic and disciplined acquisitions, 2) consolidation of technologies and back office infrastructure synergies, 3) streamlining of corporate overhead through consolidation, 4) market branding and leadership in high growth staffing markets, and 5) cross-selling synergies amongst the diversified service offerings.
All of our acquisition targets have existing revenue and through the integration of their operations and cost efficiencies, are highly accretive achieving economies of scale. The first acquisition we closed was Pioneer Global, Inc., a U.S. staffing services company providing a variety of staffing solutions to various businesses and organizations, helping them improve their business performance through cutting-edge technologies. By providing world-class staffing on a temporary, temporary-to-hire, and direct-hire basis, Pioneer Global has generated approximately $5 million in revenue for the trailing twelve months.
Our second acquisition closed was TalentBeacon International, a consulting and delivery organization for global talent acquisition, management and retention solutions. TalentBeacon's central area of expertise is deep knowledge of how international talent acquisition can be leveraged to help companies achieve their growth targets, while providing highly consultative and collaborative insights into the opportunities and challenges of working in, and from, these locations.
Our acquisition pipeline continues grow, with very interesting opportunities, collectively totaling over $300 million in annualized revenue. All of these acquisitions are private and as such extensive due diligence and negotiation is required to close. We are managing diligently through this process and as we execute agreements, we will be notifying our investors.
Suffice it to say, the staffing industry remains a very large and relatively stable even amidst the global pandemic. According to the American Staffing Association / U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. companies employ over 17 million temporarily and contract employees annually, which has grown consistently each year since 2014. In healthcare alone, which is a core vertical of ours, the total addressable market is estimated to be $45.2 billion by 2026.
There remains no shortage of opportunities as we head into 2021. We look forward to closing several other acquisitions in the new year and continuing to bolster our staffing portfolio. In addition to completing our audit for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2020, there are several other important corporate governance initiatives that are a priority for our team (update below).
Lastly, we are continuing to improve our communications practices for complete transparency with our shareholder base including relaunching our corporate and investor relations website as well as unveiling new social channels. We thank all our shareholders for their continued support and belief in the future vision of Futuris Company.
Please find below further company updates. Happy safe and healthy new year and look forward to a prosperous 2021.
Sincerely,
Kalyan Pathuri, President
