These improvements reflect our company-wide focus on improving operational efficiencies; disciplines which we are working very hard to maintain, even in an environment of firming demand and return to sequential growth.
 
“Our ERP expertise and vertical focus continue to serve as two key differentiators that have enabled Intelligroup to develop a steady stream of new customer relationships, while at the same time allowing us to broaden certain existing customer engagements. Our go-to-market strategy and value-added service offerings are being recognized by existing and new customers.”

Q4 Operating Results:
Q4 '09 revenues decreased 11.6% to $33.0 million, compared to $37.3 million in Q4 '08 however revenue increased by 3.9% compared to Q3 ’09. Gross margins improved to 33.7% from 32.5% in the prior year period, yet fell 0.9% sequentially, principally due to the impact of the Rupee’s appreciation against the U.S. dollar.
 
SG&A, including Depreciation and Amortization, decreased by 18.7% to $7.5 million in Q4 ‘09 compared to $9.2 million in Q4 ’08 and was $7.4 million in Q3 ’09.
 
Intelligroup recorded a foreign exchange (fx) loss of $0.2 million in Q4 ’09. This compares to an fx loss of $1.4 million in Q4 ’08 and an fx gain of $0.03 million in Q3 ’09.
 
Q4 ’09 net income was $3.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to Q4 ’08 net income of $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and Q3 ’09 net income of $3.6 million, or $0.09 per share.
 
Intelligroup generated cash from operating activities of $0.8 million in Q4 ’09 and $14.8 million for the full year 2009. The Company’s ability to generate higher free cash during 2009 was a result of the improved margins, an active cash management discipline as well as an expected freeing of working capital related to the decline in revenue. Intelligroup ended the year with $23.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, an increase of $12.0 million from year-end 2008.
 
Alok Bajpai, CFO, added, “During 2009 we were able to achieve a return to sequential growth quarter on quarter while delivering stronger operating margins, higher net income and EPS and forging a robust balance sheet. We have entered 2010 well positioned to participate favorably as the IT market rebounds and we continue to deliver on our operating and financial metrics.”
