ShiftPixy Inc. (NASDAQ: PIXY) — which earlier this month announced the sales of its PEO business — reported revenue rose 50.8% in its fiscal first quarter ended Nov. 30, according to a filing on Tuesday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Irvine, California-based firm reported gross margin narrowed and net loss edged higher.

Gross profit ,314 ,386 -2.1%
Gross margin  20.9% 32.2%  
Net loss (,556) (,246) nm

ShiftPixy’s PEO operations represented 60% of its business, and the sale was announced Jan. 9 after the close of the first quarter. The company said it plans to focus on its staffing/technology model serving the quick-service restaurant and staffing industries. The company had also, in December, conducted a one-for-40 reverse stock split.

In Tuesday’s SEC filing, ShiftPixy reported that first-quarter revenue rose because of an increased number of worksite employees. Average billed employees increased 44% over fiscal 2019 and the average revenue per worksite employee rose approximately 6%.
