DHI Group reorganizes into two divisions for focus

CENTENNIAL, Colo. - DHI Group, Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:DHX), a provider of AI-powered career marketplaces with an impressive 86% gross profit margin, today announced a significant reorganization of its operations. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued despite its recent strong performance, with shares gaining over 16% in the past week. The company is restructuring to form two distinct divisions, each dedicated to one of its main brands: Dice and ClearanceJobs. The move is part of a strategy to streamline leadership and tailor operations to the unique market dynamics of each brand.

The restructuring, which is expected to be largely completed by February 2025, will result in an 8% reduction of DHI's total workforce. This downsizing is primarily due to adjustments in team structures and mid-level management. For investors seeking deeper insights, InvestingPro offers comprehensive analysis through its Pro Research Report, which includes detailed financial health metrics and growth prospects for DHI Group among 1,400+ US equities. The reorganization aims to align sales, marketing, and product development functions under dedicated brand leaders, while still maintaining centralized support for human resources, finance, and technology operations.

Art Zeile, CEO of DHI Group, stated that the separation of the Dice and ClearanceJobs organizations is intended to "better deliver results for our shareholders, maximize profitability, and provide stronger long-term strategic options." The reorganization will also involve key leadership changes, with Paul Farnsworth, the current Chief Technology Officer, becoming President of Dice, and Alex Schildt, currently Vice President of Sales for ClearanceJobs, stepping up as President of ClearanceJobs.

The company, currently valued at $103.7 million by market capitalization, estimates that it will incur about $2.2 million in cash charges related to employee severance and benefits, with these charges expected to be recognized in the first quarter of 2025. Cash payments related to the restructuring are anticipated to be substantially completed by the third quarter of 2025.
