RCM Technologies, Inc. Announces First-Quarter Results

PENNSAUKEN, N.J., May 09, 2023 (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 weeks ended April 1, 2023.

RCM Technologies reported revenue of $67.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2023 (the current period), a decrease of 18.1% compared to $82.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2022 (the comparable prior-year period). Gross profit was $19.0 million for the current period, an 18.8% decrease compared to $23.4 million for the comparable prior-year period.  The Company experienced GAAP operating income of $5.7 million for the current period compared to $9.0 million for the comparable prior-year period.  The Company experienced GAAP net income of $3.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the current period compared to $6.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the comparable prior-year period. The Company experienced adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $5.6 million for the current period compared to $9.3 million for the comparable prior-year period.

Bradley Vizi, Executive Chairman of RCM Technologies, commented, “RCM started 2023 slower than we had expected, primarily due to project timing and program ramp-up in our Engineering segment. The cadence of activity has increased as we move through the first half of the year, allowing us to retain our offensive posture as we continue to build on the foundation carefully laid in each of our business units.”

Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, commented, “As we expand our base, we believe that high return capital projects remain abundant both in the form of internal growth projects and bolt-on acquisitions that allow us to leverage the RCM platform.”

Conference Call
On Wednesday, May 10, 2023, RCM Technologies will host a conference call to discuss these results. The call will begin at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The dial-in number is (800) 285-6670.

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, are non-GAAP financial measures.  Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures (“Adjusted operating income,” “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.  Adjusted operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance.  In addition, Adjusted operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities and 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 and the corresponding adjustments used to calculate Adjusted operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022.
