WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., November 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPAR Group, Inc. (SGRP) ("we", the "Company" or "SPAR Group"), a leading supplier of retail merchandising and other marketing services throughout the United States and internationally, today announced its financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $31.0 million and $90 million, an increase of approximately 12% for both periods.

Jill Blanchard, Chief Executive Officer of SPAR Group, commented, “Our year-over-year revenue growth of 12%, achieving profitability and maintaining stable gross profit margins all fall in line with our expectations and is a direct result of the strategic initiatives we have been successful in implementing. Our discipline and focus on cultivating more senior client relationships and playing a more integrated role in our international countries has allowed us to renew contracts with expanded service offerings and in new territories. As I have mentioned previously, we see continued room for growth internationally. While we are pleased with our 18% quarterly revenue growth, markets such as Mexico, South Africa and China present very exciting opportunities for us in the future. I am proud of the progress our team has made across all fronts and look forward to continued success for SPAR Group in the future.”

Financial Results for the Three and Nine month Periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ending September 30, 2014

Domestic net revenue totaled $11.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of approximately $400,000 or 3%. The increase was primarily due to incremental revenue from project work compared to the same period last year. International net revenue totaled $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $16.4 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of $2.9 million or 18%. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to increased revenue in China (primarily due to the recent acquisition in that territory), Mexico, India and South Africa, partially offset by lower revenue in Japan.

Domestic gross profit margins increased 2 percentage points to 32% of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 30% of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in gross profit margins was due primarily to a more favorable mix of higher margin project work compared to last year. Internationally, the gross profit margins declined 1 percentage point to 18% of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 19% of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to slight margin declines in China, Canada and Turkey partially offset by margin improvements in South Africa and Mexico compared to last year.

The Company reported net income of $383,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $331,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the corresponding period last year.

Financial Highlights for the Nine Months Ending September 30, 2014

Domestic net revenue totaled $35.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $32.4 million for the same period in 2013. Domestic net revenue increase of approximately $2.9 million or 9% was due primarily to incremental project work compared to the same period in 2013. International net revenue totaled $54.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $47.8 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of $6.9 million or 15%. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to the acquisition in China and revenue improvement in all international markets but Australia and Turkey.

Domestic and international gross profit margins for the nine month period ending September 30, 2014 of 31% and 19% remained comparable to the same period in 2013.

The Company reported net income of $590,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $244,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the corresponding period last year.
