First Quarter 2013 Financial Results Total gross contract revenues in the first quarter of 2013 increased 11% to $15.6 million, compared to $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2012. The increase was due primarily to the start of new projects in the Company's infrastructure, engineering and support services, as well as the contribution from its third quarter 2012 acquisition of Kaco.

Gross profit in the first quarter of 2013 was $8.3 million, or 53.5% of total gross contract revenues, compared to $7.5 million, or 53.1% of total gross contract revenues, in the first quarter of 2012. The 11% increase in gross profit was due primarily to the increase in revenues.

Net income in the first quarter of 2013 was $0.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012.

At March 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.1 million, compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2012. On April 2, 2013, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $8.7 million from its initial public offering.

At March 31, 2013, the Company reported backlog of approximately $53 million, an 18% increase compared to approximately $45 million at December 31, 2012.

Management Commentary "During the first quarter of 2013, we experienced double-digit revenue growth, which drove our net income of $0.23 per share," said Dickerson Wright, Chairman and CEO of NV5 Holdings. "These results were achieved through new project wins, prudent expense management and our third quarter 2012 acquisition of Kaco, a 30-person engineering firm."

"Subsequent to the first quarter of 2013, we acquired an owner's representation and program management firm, Consilium Partners," continued Wright. "This strategic acquisition supplements our established infrastructure presence nationally, specifically in the Rocky Mountain region, and is expected to be immediately accretive to our earnings. We remain committed to our acquisition strategy and are enthusiastic about our growing pipeline of opportunities."

Wright concluded: "As we look towards the rest of 2013, we are encouraged by the development we are seeing in our backlog and expect continued organic revenue growth and the benefit of scale, integration and leverage in our business."

2013 Outlook The Company expects fiscal year 2013 gross contract revenues to range between $62 million and $70 million, which would represent an increase of approximately 2% to 16% from 2012 gross contract revenues.
