McNally Capital Announces Investment in Re-Sourcing Holdings

McNally Capital has invested in New York City-based Re-Sourcing Holdings, a provider of strategic staffing, consulting, and direct hire solutions, focusing on compliance, legal, information technology, finance and accounting, and human resource jobs. Re-Sourcing serves clients through six brands: JW Michaels & Co., Compliance Risk Concepts, ExecuSource, Perennial Resources International, Partnership Employment, and Technology Navigators.

McNally Capital and Re-Sourcing Holdings are actively seeking add-on opportunities, specifically targeting lower mid-market temporary staffing firms in primary, secondary, and tertiary cities in the U.S. Among others, Jeff Bowling, founder and former chief executive officer of the Delta Cos., a Dallas-based staffing firm, participated alongside McNally Capital in the due diligence process and as a co-investor in the transaction.

Industrial Output Falls in December

Industrial production declined 0.3% in December, the third drop in the past four months, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve. Wall Street had anticipated the 0.3% decline. For the fourth quarter as a whole, industrial production declined at a 0.5% annual rate. Production retreated in three of the four quarters of 2019. Output was down 1.0% for the year.

Manufacturing output advanced 0.2% in December, but was down at a 1.0% rate for the fourth quarter. The increase in December came despite a 4.6% decline in output of motor vehicles and parts. Mining output rose 1.3% in December, while utility output declined 5.6% as warmer weather cut into the demand for home heating.

Capacity utilization dropped to 77% in December, the second lowest reading in 27 months. Capacity utilization remains below prerecession levels—above 80%—that economists say could fuel production costs and prices.
