RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2014 RESULTS
 
Pennsauken, NJ – March 4, 2015 -- 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 information technology, engineering and specialty health care services, today announced financial results for the fourteen and fifty-three week periods ended January 3, 2015.
 
The Company reported revenues of $49.3 million for the fourteen week period ended January 3, 2015, a 7.5% increase over $45.8 million for the thirteen week period ended December 28, 2013 (comparable prior year period).  Operating income before severance and other charges was $2.6 million for the fourteen week period ended January 3, 2015, a 16.6% increase over $2.2 million for the comparable prior year period. Net income for the fourteen week period ended January 3, 2015 was $1.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
 
The Company reported revenues of $193.8 million for the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2015, a 13.5% increase over $170.8 million for the fifty-two week period ended December 28, 2013 (comparable prior year period).  Operating income before severance and other charges was $10.6 million for the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2015, a 37.3% increase over $7.7 million for the comparable prior year period. Net income for the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2015 was $6.8 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, as compared to $2.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
 
Rocco Campanelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of RCM Technologies, commented,Our outstanding fiscal 2014 performance was a direct result of the efforts of our valuable employees.  I feel privileged to lead RCM as we grew revenues, gross profit and operating income before severance and other charges by 13.5%, 16.5% and 37.3%, respectively. While everyone at RCM contributed to the great results this year, I want to publicly recognize four “All-Star” leaders: Tim Brandt who runs our Information Technology Consulting & Solutions Group; Bill McGuckin who runs our Life Sciences Solutions and East Staffing Practice in our Information Technology segment; Dan White who leads our Canadian Energy Services Group in our Engineering segment; and Rick Wood who leads our Aerospace Technical Publications Group in our Engineering segment. I want to thank and congratulate these four leaders and their entire teams for spectacular performance in fiscal 2014. As we look to fiscal 2015, we know that exceeding our 2014 performance will be a challenge but it’s one our entire leadership team has embraced. I’m optimistic we can continue the momentum into 2015 and beyond. In addition to focusing on growing our operating income, we have challenged our leadership team to make significant progress in expanding our service offerings in strategic areas and adding several new multi-million dollar clients in 2015 as we look to strengthen RCM.”
 

 
 

 

Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, added, “All three of our segments made significant contributions to our highest operating income since fiscal 2002.  We expect to continue our operating income growth in fiscal 2015. Our business has significant operating leverage as demonstrated by our 37.3% growth in operating income before severance and other charges on 16.5% growth in gross profit. For 2015, we plan to focus on continuing to leverage gross profit dollar growth through a combination of revenue growth and improvements to our gross margin.  Furthermore, over the past two years we have returned $3.00 per share in special distributions, the majority of which are reflected in 1099s as tax advantageous return of capital to shareholders. We believe this demonstrates our commitment to being good stewards of capital and maximizing return on shareholder investment. In 2015 we expect to generate significant free cash flow compared to 2014 as the result of improved working capital management and a further increase in operating income. In 2015 we anticipate being in a position to aggressively reduce our fiscal 2014 ending net debt position of $13.6 million.”
