Volt Information Sciences Reports Fiscal 2015 Third Quarter Financial Results

NEW YORK, NY, September 10, 2015 – Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (NYSE-MKT: VISI), an international provider of staffing services and information technology infrastructure services, today reported results for its third quarter ended August 2, 2015. Key elements include:
 
 
 
·
Net revenue of $364.7 million down 13.7% year-over-year
 
 
·
Net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.7 million excluding special items
 
 
·
Completed the sale of Volt Directories S.A. Ltd. and Tainol S.A., the Company’s Uruguayan publishing and printing business
 
 
·
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, completed the sale of certain assets of Volt Telecommunications Group
 
 
·
Established a new one-year $150.0 million Short-Term Financing Program with PNC Bank, which increased borrowing capacity
 
“I look forward to building on the strengths of our business to achieve our longer-term goal of returning Volt to profitable growth,” commented Michael Dean, Chairman, Interim President and CEO. “During the third quarter we made good progress on our strategic initiative to divest non-core assets with the completion of the sale of our unprofitable Uruguayan publishing and printing business. Subsequent to the end of the quarter we also completed the sale of certain assets of Volt Telecommunications Group, which will further enhance our operational focus on our core staffing business and improve profitability in the future. In addition, our efforts to improve our balance sheet and strengthen our liquidity position continue to bear fruit with the closing of a new one-year, $150.0 million short-term financing program with PNC Bank. I am also pleased with our ongoing initiatives to reduce expenses and improve our cost structure, as evidenced by the decrease in selling, administrative and other operating costs of $3.8 million, or 7.0%, compared to the third quarter last year.”
 
 
Mr. Dean concluded, “We are actively pursuing advanced technologies and improving business processes to support our core staffing business. Our management team is energized, excited and working with a sense of urgency to address the challenges that face us and to capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead.  With the recent changes in Volt’s leadership, we are taking a fresh look at how we operate and by empowering our employees to make positive changes, I believe these actions will lead to a significant improvement in our financial performance in the quarters and years ahead.”

Fiscal 2015 Third Quarter Results
Total revenue for the fiscal 2015 third quarter was $364.7 million compared to $422.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Staffing Services segment revenue decreased to $341.4 million from $397.0 million in the same period last year, while Other segment revenue was $23.3 million in the third quarter compared to $25.7 million in the third quarter last year.

Staffing Services segment operating income in the third quarter of 2015 of $3.4 million included $2.5 million of special items related to impairment charges and restructuring costs.  Excluding the impact of these special items, Staffing Services segment operating income would have been $5.9 million on a Non-GAAP basis.

Loss from continuing operations in the fiscal 2015 third quarter of $4.1 million included special items of $3.4 million. Excluding these items loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2015 would have been $0.7 million on a Non-GAAP basis.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is also a non-GAAP measure, was $3.4 million in the fiscal 2015 third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, other income/loss and share-based compensation expense. For a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial results, please see the tables at the end of this press release.

Fiscal 2015 Year-to-Date Results
Total revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $1,132.9 million compared to $1,280.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2014. Staffing Services segment revenue decreased to $1,064.5 million from $1,196.0 million in the same period last year, while Other segment revenue was $68.4 million in the first nine months compared to $84.4 million in the comparable period last year.

Loss from continuing operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 of $19.9 million included special items of $13.4 million. Excluding these items the loss from continuing operations in 2015 would have been $6.5 million on a Non-GAAP basis.

Short-Term Financing Program
On August 1, 2015, the Company entered into a one-year, $150.0 million Short-Term Financing Program with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) with an expiration date of July 28, 2016. This program replaced the Company’s previous short-term financing program. Proceeds from the new program were used to satisfy the outstanding balance under the previous program.  Borrowing capacity will increase by at least $24.0 million resulting primarily from the inclusion of receivables in the United Kingdom and Canada. The Company will utilize available borrowing capacity, as needed, to provide funding for working capital purposes in addition to funding ongoing and future strategic initiatives.

On September 4, 2015, the Company had available liquidity of approximately $46.1 million.

Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
The Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information, which includes adjustments for special items, as additional information for its consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations, segment operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and may be different from Non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these Non-GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it permits evaluation of the results of the Company’s continuing operations without the effect of special items that management believes make it more difficult to understand and evaluate the Company’s results of operations.
