PENNSAUKEN, N.J., May 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RCM Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGM: 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, specialty health care and information technology services, today announced financial results for the thirteen week period ended April 3, 2021.

RCM Technologies reported revenue of $44.5 million for the thirteen week period ended April 3, 2021 (the current period), a 1.1% decrease as compared to $45.0 million for the thirteen week period ended March 28, 2020 (the comparable prior year period). Gross profit was approximately $10.9 million for both thirteen week periods presented.  The Company experienced GAAP operating income of $1.4 million for the current period, as compared to a GAAP operating loss of $7.8 million for the comparable prior year period.  The Company experienced GAAP net income of $1.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the current period as compared to a GAAP net loss of $5.9 million, or ($0.45) per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

The Company generated $1.8 million in Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) during the current period, as compared to $0.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the comparable prior year period. The primary driver for the $1.2 million increase to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was a corresponding decrease in SGA expense.

Bradley Vizi, Executive Chairman of RCM Technologies, commented, “Our progress towards becoming a world-class services organization continues. We understand that our vision requires a solid foundation from which we can build for years into the future. With that end in mind, we have been laser-focused on laying the internal groundwork to support the next phase of RCM's life cycle, and I am pleased that our first-quarter results demonstrate some of the progress we have made.”

Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, commented, “We are satisfied with our performance during the first quarter of 2021. Revenue grew sequentially by $3.3 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Despite experiencing the full impact of COVID-19 for the entire current year period, as compared to only three weeks in the first quarter of 2020, RCM's revenue base was essentially flat on a year-over-year basis. We were able to grow Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2020.”

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

The following non-GAAP measures, which adjust for the categories of expenses described below, primarily changes in contingent consideration as a result of re-measurement in the amount of contingent consideration we expect to pay with respect to past acquisitions, are non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures (“EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA”) are useful information for investors, shareholders and other stakeholders of our company in gauging our results of operations on an ongoing basis and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and period-to-period comparisons. We believe that both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures and not liquidity measures, and therefore a reconciliation between net income and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of performance. In addition, neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA takes 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” and “Adjusted EBITDA” for the thirteen week periods ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020.
