RCM Technologies reported revenues of $46.3 million for the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2017, a 1.8% decrease as compared to $47.2 million for the thirteen week period ended April 2, 2016 (the comparable prior year period). Gross profit of $11.8 million for the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2017 decreased 7.3% as compared to $12.7 million for the comparable prior year period. Operating income was $1.0 million for the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2017 as compared to $1.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The Company experienced net income of $0.6 million for the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2017 as compared to net income of $1.0 million for the comparable prior year period.
Rocco Campanelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of RCM Technologies, commented, “We are pleased with our progress in the first quarter of 2017. While our revenues are down slightly from our first quarter of last year, our best quarter in 2016, our revenues in the first quarter of 2017 show approximately 5.0% sequential growth as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Both our Engineering and Health Care segments’ first quarter 2017 revenue and gross profit exceeded first quarter 2016. Of particular note is that our Health Care segment set yet another record quarter for both revenues and gross profit. While our information technology segment underperformed, we have been encouraged by recent activity levels. Our consolidated gross margin for first quarter 2017 decreased on a comparative basis but we expect sequential improvement as we progress through fiscal 2017.”
Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, added, “We continue to exhibit strong cash flow, generating $1.9 million in cash provided by operating activities. We expect to continue to have strong cash flow as our operating income for the balance of 2017 improves both sequentially and as compared to fiscal 2016.”
