Commenting on the Company’s results, President and Chief Executive Officer of DLH, Mr. Zachary Parker stated: “During FY12, DLH completed several key milestones which required an initial expenditure of capital but will provide benefit in the coming fiscal year. These included the recruitment of our new Chief Financial Officer, Kathryn JohnBull, as well as severance paid to the exiting CFO; program management training provided to leadership across the organization; and the final phase of an implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that was recently approved by the DCAA for award of cost reimbursable contracts.”

Mr. Parker added, “Market conditions in FY12 were quite challenging as the nation’s slow economic recovery and continued defense order delays impacted our revenue growth and profitability. However, I am extremely pleased with the way our people managed the business through these periods of uncertainty. Despite these obstacles, we were still able to generate increased revenues for the full fiscal year and fourth fiscal quarter, as compared to last year.”

The Company closed fiscal 2012 with a backlog of firm orders at $153 million, as well as a strong qualified pipeline of opportunities for potential revenue growth in the future. DLH believes that its primary markets of healthcare and logistics will be relatively protected during the current federal government budget negotiations, particularly given the strong bipartisan commitment to funding its primary current customer, the Department of Veterans Affairs.  While the Company expects continued growth in 2013, the challenges in the defense business will remain, including the potentially dramatic cuts to U.S. defense spending that may go into effect in January.

Looking forward to fiscal 2013, Mr. Parker expressed:  “Our executive team has now sharpened our focus on delivering profitability and shareholder value consistent with our strategic plan.  We will continue to take the necessary actions to manage our business efficiently in these dynamic market conditions.”

Chief Financial Officer, Kathryn JohnBull added, “In fiscal 2012, we strengthened our balance sheet and improved liquidity through the completion of our rights offering, expansion of our credit facility, and satisfaction of the guarantees related to the notes payable. In fiscal 2013, our primary focus is on delivering profitability on our current business base, through effective contract performance and cost control.  Although there are numerous risk factors facing us, as described below, we currently expect gross margins in fiscal 2013 to be more consistent with historical levels, as new contracts from fiscal 2012 mature and we drive further efficiencies. Additionally, we intend to manage our operations to derive further cost savings in our G&A functions.  Based on our actions underway in fiscal 2013, we believe we are well positioned to drive profitable growth in the future.”

Results for Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased 21% to $12.5 million compared to $10.3 million in the same period in fiscal 2011. Gross profit decreased from $1.6 million to $1.1 million in fiscal 2011 and 2012, respectively, due to competitive pressures on gross margins overall and to additional health and welfare benefits accrued during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Total G&A costs for the three months ended September 30, 2012, excluding a $2.6 million impairment charge taken in 2011, decreased 27% to $1.9 million, compared to $2.6 million in the same period in fiscal 2011.

Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 improved to $0.8 million compared to $3.6 million in the same period in fiscal 2011, due to the one-time nature of the impairment charge in 2011 and to reduced year over year G&A expenses, offset by the impact of softening gross margins.

Loss from continuing operations and net loss was $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012, an improvement of $3.3 million over the comparable period in fiscal 2011, due to the same factors impacting loss from operations, plus a gain recognized in fiscal 2012 related to satisfaction of the guarantees related to notes payable.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 decreased to ($0.7) million from ($0.6) million, respectively, due to the same factors impacting loss from operations, adjusted for the impairment charge.

Results for Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012

Revenue for fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 increased 17% to $49.2 million compared to $41.9 million in fiscal 2011. Gross profit for fiscal 2012 was $5.6 million, compared to $5.9 million for fiscal

2011.  While gross profit benefited from the additional volume of revenue, the average unit price of hours delivered decreased year over year, reflecting the competitive marketplace.

Total G&A costs for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, excluding a $2.6 million impairment charge taken in 2011, increased 3% to $7.7 million from $7.5 million in fiscal 2011, due principally to the previously mentioned CFO transition expenses.

Loss from operations for fiscal 2012 improved to $2.2 million compared to $4.2 million in fiscal 2011, due to the one-time nature of the impairment charge in 2011, offset by the impact of softening gross margins.

Loss from continuing operations and net loss was $2.0 million in fiscal 2012, an improvement of $2.6 million and $2.3 million in loss from continuing operations and net loss, respectively, in fiscal 2011 due to the same factors impacting loss from operations, plus a gain from satisfaction of guarantees related to notes payable in fiscal 2012 and a gain from discontinued operations in fiscal 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was ($1.7) million and for fiscal 2011 was ($1.1) million, with the decrease due to the same factors impacting loss from operations, adjusted for the impairment charge in fiscal 2011.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to net loss from continuing operations

(1)We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations plus (i) interest and other income/expenses, net, (ii) provision for or benefit from income taxes, if any, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) G&A expenses — equity grants, and (v) impairment charges. This non-GAAP measure of our performance is used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods presented. Management and the Company’s Board utilize this non-GAAP measure to make decisions about the use of the Company’s resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. By providing this non-GAAP measure, as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations. This non-GAAP financial measure is limited in its usefulness and should be considered in addition to, and

not in lieu of, US GAAP financial measures. Further, this non-GAAP measure may be unique to the Company, as it may be different from the definition of non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA with net loss from continuing operations is as follows:
