TeamStaff Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Profit
Somerset, New Jersey— December 22, 2008 — TeamStaff, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSTF) a national provider of healthcare, logistics and administrative staffing services, today announced its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.
TeamStaff’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $22.7 million as compared to $16.5 million in the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $0.5 million, or $0.11 per share. This compares to a loss of $1.9 million or ($0.40) per share including a loss from discontinued operations of $1.6 million or $0.32 per share in the comparable quarter last year. Earnings per share in this release have been retroactively adjusted so as to incorporate the effect of the one-to four reverse stock split effective April 21, 2008.
Included in our fourth quarter 2008 results are retroactive billing adjustments related to wage increases granted to contracted employees at certain government facilities. These billings increased revenue and gross profit $7.2 million and $0.13 million, respectively and increased EPS by $0.03. Income from operations, excluding the income derived from retroactive adjustments was $0.05 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to $0.04 million in the prior year.
In accruing the retroactive billing adjustments, the Company recognized amounts that are contractually due under agreements with Federal agencies. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating final amounts related to gross profit on these adjustments. As such, there may be additional revenues and gross profit recognized in future periods. The range of revenue and gross profit are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.7 million.
TeamStaff’s gross profit was $3.0 million, or 13.4% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to $3.0 million, or 18.4% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Excluding the retroactive billings, TeamStaff’s fiscal 2008 fourth quarter gross profit was 18.8%.
SG&A expenses were $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $2.9 million in the comparable quarter last year.
Other income, net was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This primarily relates to a favorable resolution of an outstanding IRS payroll tax issue and compares to a net expense of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The fiscal 2007 expense was primarily legal fees related to our cooperation with a government investigation related to pre-acquisition activity in TeamStaff Government Solutions (“TeamStaff GS”), our subsidiary formerly known as RS Staffing Services, Inc.
Cash and cash equivalents were $5.2 million at September 30, 2008. Availability at September 30, 2008 under the Company’s revolving credit facility was approximately $1.8 million. The Company believes that cash on hand and the availability under the existing revolving line of credit will provide sufficient liquidity over the next twelve months.
Full Year Results
TeamStaff’s revenues for the year ended September 30, 2008 were $73.3 million as compared to $66.9 million last year. Fiscal 2008 revenues include approximately $10.8 million of retroactive billings and $0.7 million of related gross profit. TeamStaff’s gross profit, including retroactive billings was $12.1 million, or 16.5% of revenues, for the year ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $11.0 million, or 16.5% of revenues, for the year ended September 30, 2007. Adjusted for the retroactive billings, TeamStaff’s gross profit in fiscal 2008 was 18.2%
SG&A expenses were $11.0 million and $12.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Adjusted for severance and certain insurance items, SG&A expenses for the current fiscal year decreased by approximately $0.9 million or 7.1%. This was achieved despite an increase in sales and marketing expenses of $0.4 million or 29%.
Income from operations, excluding income derived from retroactive adjustments was $0.03 million for the year ended September 30, 2008 compared to a loss of $2.0 million in the prior year.
Net income, including the results from discontinued operations, was $1.1 million or $0.24 per share, including $0.7 million or $0.14 per share related to retroactive billings for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. This compares to a loss of $4.7 million or ($0.97) per share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.
Commenting on the Company’s performance, TeamStaff’s President and CEO, Rick J Filippelli, stated “TeamStaff made substantial progress in fiscal 2008. The Company posted a $2.0 million improvement in income from operations, substantially increased its cash position and liquidity, hired a seasoned healthcare staffing professional to run its travel subsidiary and substantially grew the profitability of its Government staffing subsidiary.”
Mr. Filippelli continued, “TeamStaff GS continues to produce solid bottom line results. Excluding the impact of retroactive adjustments GS increased its income by 42% in fiscal 2008. This is the direct result of executing on our gross profit initiatives, increasing the number of contracted employees at certain facilities and improved pricing. We also paved the way in fiscal 2008 for expanding beyond Department of Veteran Affairs opportunities by bidding on Department of Defense staffing contracts for both logistical and medical needs. Government contracts tend to be multi-year contracts and management believes this subsidiary’s performance is less influenced by the economic climate. Although our travel subsidiary, TeamStaff Rx, performed below our expectations, and despite the economic uncertainty management believes that the hiring of Dale West should accelerate our return to profitability. Her experience will help transition the travel segment into higher demand modalities such as specialty nursing, rehabilitation therapists and oncology. The Company has recently enhanced its traveler benefits to provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Ms West also has a strong marketing and branding background which proved to be an integral part of her success at RN Network.”
Mr. Filippelli added “Our liquidity substantially improved in fiscal 2008. Helped by the government streamlining its payment process, our DSOs decreased to 17 days. This coupled with improved operations resulted in a $4.6 million increase in our cash position. We also successfully obtained a $3.0 million credit facility with Sovereign Business Capital. We believe the Company is strong financially and is poised for growth in fiscal 2009.”
