Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Mastech Holdings, Inc. Reports 2008 Third Quarter Results
PITTSBURGH, PA — Mastech Holdings, Inc., (Amex: MHH – News), a national provider of Information Technology staffing services, today announced its third quarter 2008 financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Revenues for the quarter were $24.1 million, representing a 5.7% decline from the $25.6 million reported in the same period last year. Consolidated net income for the 2008 quarter, totaled $1.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the same period last year. In both periods, results included certain tax benefits which will not be available to the Company as a stand alone organization. The impact on consolidated net income of such tax benefits was $390,000, or $0.11 per diluted share in the 2008 quarter and $412,000, or $0.12 per diluted share in the 2007 quarter.
Commenting on these results, Steven Shangold, CEO stated, “Our third quarter performance reflects reduced demand for our services that we believe is attributable to the current U.S. economic downturn and its impact on our customers, especially within the financial services industry. In addition to lower demand for I.T.staffing services, pricing pressures have adversely affected our gross margins and impacted our operating results. While we believe that this challenging economic environment is likely to persist for some time, our strategy remains focused on providing our clients with excellent service, and controlling our cost structure. Our belief is that by executing on this strategy today, we will be in a stronger position to create value for our shareholders, as market conditions improve.”
In October, the Company secured a $10 million revolving credit facility with PNC Bank. “Historically, cash flows from operations have been sufficient to fund the Company’s cash requirements. While we believe that this will continue to be the case in the future, this facility will provide us with the financial flexibility to capitalize on market opportunities during these tumultuous times and will be available to fund any unexpected increases in working capital levels should they occur,” said Jack Cronin, CFO.
In conjunction with its third quarter earnings release, Mastech will host a conference call at 8:00 A. M. EST on November 6, 2008 to discuss these results and to answer questions. A live webcast of this conference call will be available on the company’s website, www.mastech.com. Simply click on the investor relations section and follow the links to the live webcast. The webcast will remain available for replay through November 13, 2008.
