On the last day of fiscal 2015 the Company disposed of its QAD Software Solutions business unit (“QAD Business”) which for the thirteen week period ended October 3, 2015 generated $0.8 million in revenues and $0.3 million in gross profit and for the thirty-nine week period ended October 3, 2015 generated $2.6 million in revenues and $1.2 million in gross profit.
Rocco Campanelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of RCM Technologies, commented, “Our Specialty Health Care segment’s third quarter revenues of $12.0 million established a new third quarter record despite seasonal softness, mainly due to summer vacations for several large school contracts. Our Information Technology segment revenues for the third quarter continued to lag prior year results as several large contracts ended in late 2015 and early 2016. We are confident that in the next several quarters we will begin to see improved results in this segment based on recent changes and investments we have made. Our Engineering segment has performed reasonably well with two notable exceptions. First, though activity is increasing, we continue to see a lag in project awards for our major Canadian Engineering clients. Additionally, we have fixed price work with a major utility in the United States that has resulted in a drag on gross margin. We expect the majority of this drag on gross margin to come to an end in 2016. We anticipate a significant increase in consolidated operating results in the fourth quarter as compared to our third quarter, driven by new historic record revenues in our Specialty Health Care segment and an increase in activity for our Engineering segment. We are excited about our prospects heading into 2017 and among other initiatives we are focused on the following in order to grow our revenues and operating income:
- We have recently closed contracts with several new large utility clients and considerably improved our Engineering segment backlog and pipeline from this time last year which we believe positions us for a very strong 2017.
- Our Specialty Health Care segment has realized several recent contract wins that we believe will positively impact our fourth quarter and beyond;
- We continue to make investments in sales and recruiting resources in our Information Technology segment while focusing on increasing our sales activity levels and improving our recruiting processes that we expect will positively impact 2017.”
Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, added, “We are pleased to experience strong cash flow, generating cash flow from operations of $4.4 million in the third quarter and $12.1 million so far in fiscal 2016. We have made significant progress in improving our DSOs and capital efficiency metrics to date, but we believe there is still significant progress to be made for the remainder of the year and throughout 2017.”
Conference Call
On Thursday, November 10, 2016, RCM Technologies will host a conference call to discuss these results. The call will begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The dial-in number is (877) 331-7677.
