  • Annual earnings increased to $7.4 million from $1.5 million
  • New $76 million U.S. Navy contract secured
  • Strong contract backlog of $690.3 million

  • Contract backlog decreased from $704.8 million to $690.3 million
  • Loss of contracts due to small business set-aside conversions

Insights

The fiscal Q4 2024 results present a mixed picture for DLH Holdings. Revenue declined 5% year-over-year to $96.4 million, primarily due to small business contract conversions. However, net income improved significantly to $2.3 million ($0.16 per share) compared to a loss in Q4 2023, though this was largely due to a one-time impairment charge in the prior year.

Key positives include substantial debt reduction to $154.6 million from $179.4 million year-over-year, with all mandatory payments satisfied through FY2025. The company also secured a new $76 million Navy contract. However, contract backlog declined slightly to $690.3 million and ongoing CMOP contract transitions to small businesses remain a near-term headwind.

Operating margins improved to 6.6%, while adjusted EBITDA margins remained relatively stable at 11.1%. The company's focus on debt reduction and strategic positioning in technology solutions could support long-term growth, but near-term revenue pressure from contract transitions warrants careful monitoring.

The market implications of DLH's results reflect an ongoing business transformation with both opportunities and challenges. The company's strategic pivot toward higher-value technology solutions and digital transformation services positions it well in the growing federal health IT sector. The successful debt reduction demonstrates strong cash flow management, improving the company's financial flexibility.

The new $76 million Navy contract win validates the company's expansion strategy beyond traditional health services. However, investors should note the revenue headwinds from small business contract conversions, which could persist through 2025. The healthy backlog of $690.3 million, though slightly lower year-over-year, provides decent revenue visibility.

The amended credit facility offers important flexibility during this transition period, but margin sustainability will be important as the company navigates portfolio changes. The stock's performance will likely depend on management's execution in replacing lost revenue and continuing to win new technology-focused contracts.

Debt Reduced to Under $155 Million as Company Continues its Technology Transformation

ATLANTA, Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DLH Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: DLHC) (“DLH” or the “Company”), a leading provider of science research and development, systems engineering and integration, and digital transformation and cyber security solutions to federal health IT and readiness agencies, today announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

Recent Highlights

  • Reduced debt to $154.6 million as of September 30, 2024 versus $179.4 million as of September 30, 2023. All mandatory principal amortization payments have been satisfied through fiscal 2025.
  • Amended credit facility to provide flexibility for business transition.
  • Announced new business award of $76 million to deliver C5ISR services to the U.S. Navy.

Fourth Quarter Results

  • Fourth quarter revenue was $96.4 million in fiscal 2024 versus $101.5 million in fiscal 2023, reflecting the impact of small business contract conversions in the Company’s Veterans Affairs ("VA") and Department of Defense ("DOD") portfolios.
  • Earnings were $2.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 versus $(2.6) million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, which included a $7.7 million impairment charge relating to certain long-lived real estate assets which reduced net income.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") were $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, which was impacted by the aforementioned impairment charge. Adjusted EBITDA for the same periods were $10.7 million and $12.1 million, respectively.

Fiscal Year Results

  • Fiscal year 2024 revenue was $395.9 million compared to revenue of $375.9 million in fiscal year 2023, reflecting the full year contribution of the December 2022 acquisition and growth in the Company’s Health and Human Services portfolio, offset by small business conversions in its DOD and VA portfolios.
  • Earnings for the full year were $7.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share for fiscal 2024 as compared to earnings of $1.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share in fiscal 2023. Operating results for the prior year were impacted by the impairment charge.
  • EBITDA was $42.0 million for fiscal 2024 as compared to $32.7 million in fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the same periods were $42.0 million and $42.1 million, respectively.
  • Contract backlog was $690.3 million as of September 30, 2024 versus $704.8 million as of September 30, 2023.

Management Discussion
"As we close fiscal 2024, I believe that DLH is well positioned for the road ahead as we manage through this inflection point in our company's journey," said Zach Parker, DLH President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continued using our operating cash flow to reduce debt and ended the year with a total debt balance under $155 million. Furthermore, we recently announced an amendment to our credit facility that provides the flexibility to effectively navigate the transition of our CMOP contracts to small business contractors. That said, our pipeline of new business opportunities has never been stronger. We continue to actively bid on a host of opportunities leveraging our expanded customer base and capability set, and our recent new business win with the US Navy demonstrates the value our highly credentialed work force provides to our customers. Utilizing the platform of technology-powered solutions and services we have assembled through our acquisition program, we are confident in our ability to generate growth as we navigate the small business transition of a portion of our contract portfolio. We believe that our focus on providing innovative, high-value-added solutions in IT, public health, and digital transformation has put us on the path to greater operating results in the future, expansion in our business base, and higher shareholder value."

Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $96.4 million versus $101.5 million in fiscal 2023, once again reflecting strength across the Company's key strategic programs — primarily in public health and IT services — offset by certain work converting to small business set-aside contracts, including the one previously-discussed CMOP location. The Company anticipates additional CMOP contract award decisions during fiscal 2025 to eligible small business bidders.

Income from operations was $6.4 million in fiscal 2024, versus $0.1 million in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and, as a percentage of revenue, the Company reported an operating margin of 6.6% in fiscal 2024 versus 0.1% in the prior-year period. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company booked a $7.7 million impairment charge on certain long-lived assets, which negatively impacted operating results for such period. General and administrative expenses declined approximately $1.8 million to $8.5 million in the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter from $10.2 million in fiscal 2023 as the company continued to strategically scale its indirect costs during this transitional period.

Interest expense was $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 versus $4.8 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower debt outstanding due to the Company's use of cash flow generation to de-lever the balance sheet. Income before income taxes was $2.2 million for the fourth quarter this year versus $(4.6) million in fiscal 2023, representing 2.3% and (4.6)% of revenue, respectively, for each period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, DLH recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. During the 2024 fiscal quarter and year, the Company benefited from stock-based compensation expense as options were exercised. The Company reported net income of approximately $2.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 versus $(2.6) million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. As a percentage of revenue for fiscal 2024 and 2023, net income was 2.4% and (2.6)%, respectively.

On a non-GAAP basis, EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was approximately $10.7 million versus $4.4 million in the prior-year period, or 11.1% and 4.3% of revenue, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was approximately $10.7 million versus $12.1 million in the prior-year period, or 11.1% and 11.9% of revenue, respectively.

Key Financial Indicators
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, DLH generated $12.4 million in operating cash. As of September 30, 2024 the Company had cash of $0.3 million and debt outstanding under its credit facility of $154.6 million versus cash of $0.2 million and debt outstanding of $179.4 million as of September 30, 2023. Of the $11.9 million debt reduction during the fourth quarter, $9.5 million were voluntary prepayments. The Company has satisfied all mandatory term amortization payments through fiscal 2025.

As of September 30, 2024 total backlog was approximately $690.3 million, including funded backlog of approximately $155.1 million and unfunded backlog of $535.2 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company is presenting additional non-GAAP measures regarding its financial performance for the three months and fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The measures presented are Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we have added the corporate development costs associated with completing the December 2022 acquisition to our results for fiscal year 2023 and removed the impairment loss on certain real estate assets. These resulting measures present the quarterly and annual financial performance compared to results delivered in the prior year period. Definitions of these additional non-GAAP measures are set forth below.

We have prepared these additional non-GAAP measures to eliminate the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherently unusual or extraordinary nature. These non-GAAP measures of performance are used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its review of operating results for the periods presented. Management and the Company's Board utilize these non-GAAP measures to make decisions about the use of the Company's resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's ongoing operating and financial results and understanding how such results compare with the Company's historical performance.

These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin on Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measures and (ii) use the aforementioned non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as an alternative to, revenue, operating income, net income or diluted EPS, as measures of operating results, each as defined under GAAP. We have defined these non-GAAP measures as follows:

"EBITDA" represents net income before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA Margin on Revenue is EBITDA divided by revenue for the relevant period.

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization and the corporate costs associated with completing the acquisition and the impairment loss on the right of use asset. Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue is Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the relevant period.
