COMMAND SECURITY CORPORATION REPORTS

RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2015

 

Herndon, VA***November 12, 2014***Command Security Corporation (NYSE MKT: MOC) announced today its financial results for its second fiscal quarter of 2015 ended September 30, 2014.

 

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014, were $34,374,020, compared with $40,147,092 in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of 14.4%. Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2014, decreased 59.3% to $524,804, compared with $1,290,052 in the same period of the prior year. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014, decreased 43.3% to $358,966, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, compared with $633,221, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share in the same period of the prior year.

 

Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2014, were $71,984,648, compared with $78,108,587 in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of 7.8%. Operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2014, increased 10.9% to $1,693,748, compared with $1,527,355 in the same period of the prior year. Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2014, increased 57.6% to $1,050,042, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared with $666,454, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share in the same period of the prior year.

 

The net decrease in revenues for three and six months ended September 30, 2014, compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year was due primarily to the following:

 

·A reduction in revenues from a major transportation company following the previously announced loss of the Western region services contract with this customer effective May 31, 2014;
·A reduction in temporary aviation related construction security services; and
·A reduction in revenues from a state government in the northeastern United States.

 

These decreases were partly offset by increases in revenues from certain healthcare customers in the northeastern United States.

 

The decrease in operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year was due primarily to the above-mentioned decrease in revenues, partly offset by a $426,419 reduction in general and administrative costs and the provision for doubtful accounts. The decrease in general and administrative costs was driven by lower compensation and related costs and lower legal costs.

 

 
 

 

The increase in operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year was due primarily to the decreases in general and administrative costs and provisions for doubtful accounts, partly offset by the impact of the above mentioned reductions in revenues. The decrease in general and administrative costs was driven largely by lower legal costs, partly offset by increased compensation and related costs.

 

The decrease in net income and income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year was driven by the above described decrease in operating income partly offset by the equity in the earnings of Ocean Protection Services LLC (“OPS”) and a lower overall effective tax rate.

 

The increase in net income and income per share for the six months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year was due primarily to the above described increases in operating income and the equity in the earnings of OPS and a lower overall effective tax rate.

 

Craig P. Coy, Chief Executive Officer of Command Security Corporation, stated, “Our management team continues to make progress with improvements to our operating systems, our management procedures and focused marketing strategy and have significantly improved our ability to deliver better operating results. As previously announced, we are excited about launching beta tests with iRobot to demonstrate and test potential augmentation capabilities with key customers in various industries. The use of robots in selected environments will be a unique capability for augmenting security capabilities in an efficient manner. Like all companies similar to Command Security, we are preparing for the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on January 1, 2015, that will result in increased costs which we anticipate will be offset by increased billings to our customers. While we face the challenges of a highly competitive environment, we remain excited about the Company’s overall direction and progress.”
