Post# of 301275
PENNSAUKEN, N.J., Oct. 30, 2013 (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 information technology, engineering and specialty health care services, today announced financial results for its third quarter, the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2013.
The Company announced revenues of $41.3 million for the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2013, increased from $34.8 million for the thirteen week period ended September 29, 2012 (comparable prior year period), an increase of 18.6%. The Company had operating income of $1.8 million for the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2013 as compared to $1.1 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of 63.1%. Net income for the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2013 was $1.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period, an increase of 80.1%.
The Company announced revenues of $124.9 million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2013, increased from $108.8 million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 2012 (comparable prior year period), an increase of 14.8%. The Company had operating income of $5.0 million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2013 as compared to $3.9 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of 29.2%. Net income for the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2013 was $3.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period, an increase of 62.6%.
The thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2013 reflects an increase to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, resulting from the reduction of a previously unrecognized tax benefit.
Leon Kopyt, Chairman and CEO of RCM, commented: "Based on our current backlog, customer demand remains strong for RCM's expertise in providing responsive, high-quality, reliable, technologically advanced, and cost-effective services that enable our customers to efficiently and effectively meet their business objectives. As such, the third quarter was a record quarter on a number of fronts, notwithstanding that it historically has been our weakest quarter principally due to increased billable employee vacation across all of our business lines and school closings for our Specialty Health Care segment, both of which occurred as usual in 2013. Our Engineering segment set record highs for revenue and gross profit for the third consecutive quarter, our Information Technology segment posted another strong quarterly performance and our Specialty Health Care segment grew its revenues in the third quarter of 2013 by 15.8% as compared to the 2012 third quarter despite significant decreases in revenues from its largest client in fiscal 2013. Our organic growth and revenue diversification initiatives continue to exhibit progressively improved performance from operations despite a sluggish economic environment in the sector and overall."
Outlook
"As the board and management team continue to execute RCM's strategic plan to achieve progressively positive results, we are optimistic that our overall results for the last quarter of fiscal 2013 should remain favorable. Based on our current internal metrics, we expect an upward trend in performance in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013."
Initiatives to Enhance Stockholder Value
"As we announced earlier this week, reflecting the confidence that our board and management have in RCM's operating fundamentals, business opportunities and growth prospects, our board has approved a new stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $5.0 million of RCM's outstanding shares of common stock from time to time over the next 12 months," said Mr. Kopyt. "As demonstrated by our new stock repurchase program and our record over the past three years in returning close to $20 million in value to our stockholders through stock repurchases and special dividends, our board remains committed to taking swift and decisive action to deliver value to our stockholders without compromising our strong balance sheet, financial flexibility and strategic growth trajectory, or our ability to continue investing in our business. While future initiatives such as additional stock repurchase programs and dividend declarations are subject to the approval of the board and will depend on RCM's results of operations, financial condition, anticipated capital requirements, business conditions, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board, we remain committed to continuing to explore further actions to enhance stockholder value," concluded Mr. Kopyt.
