RCM Technologies, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results


PENNSAUKEN, N.J., Aug. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RCM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:RCMT), a premier provider of business and technology solutions designed to enhance and maximize the operational performance of its customers through the adaptation and deployment of advanced engineering, information technology and specialty health care services, today announced financial results for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 1, 2017.

RCM Technologies reported revenues of $45.5 million for the thirteen week period ended July 1, 2017, a 0.2% increase as compared to $45.4 million for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2016 (the comparable prior year period). Gross profit was $12.1 million for both the thirteen week period ended July 1, 2017 and for the comparable prior year period.  The Company experienced net income of $0.2 million for the thirteen week period ended July 1, 2017 as compared to net income of $0.9 million for the comparable prior year period.  The primary reason for the decline in net income was a charge of $0.8 million in the current period, with no offsetting tax deduction, related to an increase in contingent consideration, primarily related to an acquisition in Canada.  Adjusted EBITDA was $2.0 million for the thirteen week period ended July 1, 2017 as compared to $1.9 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of 5.8%. Please refer to “Supplemental Operating Results on a Non-GAAP Basis” below for a discussion of this and other non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.

RCM Technologies reported revenues of $91.9 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2017, a 0.8% decrease as compared to $92.6 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2016 (the comparable prior year period). Gross profit of $23.9 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2017 decreased 3.7% as compared to $24.8 million for the comparable prior year period.  The Company experienced net income of $0.7 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2017 as compared to net income of $1.9 million for the comparable prior year period.  Adjusted EBITDA was $3.5 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2017 as compared to $4.1 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 second quarter of 2017 as revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA all experienced slight increases from second quarter 2016. Our gross margin and adjusted EBITDA experienced nice gains from first quarter 2017. We are particularly excited about finishing the second quarter with a strong June, which bodes well for the second half of fiscal 2017.”

Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, added, “We continue to exhibit strong cash flow, generating $3.5 million in cash provided by operating activities in our second quarter and $5.3 million year to date through July 1 in fiscal 2017. We expect to continue to have strong cash flow as our operating income for the balance of 2017 improves as compared to fiscal 2016. Despite third quarter seasonality across our business, especially in our Health Care segment due to school closings over summer, we believe our operating income for the second half of fiscal 2017 will exceed our first half of fiscal 2017.”

Conference Call
On Thursday, August 10, 2017, 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.

Supplemental Operating Results on a Non-GAAP Basis
(Unaudited)
(In Thousands)

The following non-GAAP data, which adjusts for the categories of expenses described below, primarily changes in contingent consideration, is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Our management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful information for investors, shareholders and other stakeholders of our company in gauging our results of operations on an ongoing basis.  We believe that EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net income and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided.  EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of performance.  In addition, EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows.  We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following unaudited table presents the Company's GAAP Net Income measure and the corresponding adjustments used to calculate “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Net Income” and “Diluted EPS” for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016.
