TeamStaff Reports Second Quarter Results
- To Conduct Conference Call Today at 11am ET -
Somerset, New Jersey– May 15, 2009 — TeamStaff, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSTF) a national provider of healthcare and administrative staffing services, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2009.
TeamStaff’s operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $13.7 million as compared to $16.1 million in the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in operating revenues is due primarily to the impact of the current economic downturn on the results of TeamStaff Rx coupled with reduced headcount and overtime at certain Government facilities. Net loss was $559,000 or ($0.11) per share compared to net income of $64,000 or $0.01 per share in the comparable quarter last year. Adjusted to eliminate profit from certain non-recurring retroactive billings in the second quarter of last year, the results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 would have been a net loss of $0.2 million, or ($0.04) per share.
Commenting on the Company’s performance, TeamStaff’s President and CEO, Rick J. Filippelli, stated, “While the long-term drivers remain well intact, the current operating environment for the TeamStaff Rx subsidiary continued to decline as weak hospital admissions, contracted hospital spending and permanent staff willing to work more hours have reduced demand for temporary staffing. To address the unfavorable trends in the market, we have taken several steps. We have offered loyalty programs to clients who renew extensions, we have trimmed headcount and modified our advertising spend. Management is reluctant to substantially reduce its advertising program since it believes that it is a prudent investment of our capital to continue to market the TeamStaff brand while competitors are reducing their advertising. We believe this strategy has helped contribute to an increase in traveler applicant activity of 51% over the past three months. In addition, the recently announced contract with a major Oncology center as one of three preferred staffing providers will present revenue opportunities for us as we expand our oncology business. We believe our TeamStaff Rx subsidiary is well positioned to increase its market share once the economy improves. The Company believes that one of the first signs of an economic recovery is an increase in temporary staffing demands.”
Mr. Filippelli continued “Looking at our Government subsidiary, TeamStaff GS, over the past several months, we’ve experienced a longer Government sales cycle. Some solicitations to bid and notice of awards were delayed due to key employee turnover and the timing of the receipt of stimulus funds. We are now encouraged by the many opportunities we are starting to see as the stimulus funding are being released to the different Government agencies. In late March we were awarded Department of Defense (“DOD”) contracts with estimated annual revenue of approximately $0.4 million. This provides us with a footprint to bid on larger DOD contracts and complements our Veterans Administration business. In early April we announced that the Government granted TeamStaff GS an Information Technology (“IT”) Schedule. This now enables us to bid on Government IT contracts. We recently hired an experienced IT business manager to lead our effort in bidding on these contract opportunities and expect the Government to be making substantial IT investments over the next several years. Further, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided for $19 billion to be spent on healthcare technology. Overall, we expect strong demand for the services provided by TeamStaff GS during the second half of the year as the Government funds programs in support of active and retired military personnel. We expect this strong demand to translate into additional revenue opportunities for the Company.”
TeamStaff’s operating gross profit was $2.2 million, or 16.1% of revenues, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to $2.7 million, or 16.7% of revenues, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The key driver for the year over year decrease in gross profit was an unfavorable insurance adjustment booked during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. SG&A expenses were $2.7 million for each of the second quarters of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, despite a 34.3% increase in new business expense quarter over quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents were $3.1 million at March 31, 2009. Availability at March 31, 2009 under the Company’s revolving credit facility was approximately $1.6 million. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we expect a return of insurance premiums of approximately $0.4 million. The final settlement of Government retroactive billings anticipated prior to our fiscal year end could net the Company an additional $1.1 million to $1.4 million in cash. The Company believes that, along with its cash on hand, the availability under the existing revolving line of credit will provide sufficient liquidity over the next twelve months. Our healthy liquidity position enables us to continue to reinvest in the business in these uncertain economic times.
Six Month Results
TeamStaff’s operating revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2009 were $28.4 million as compared to $31.3 million last year. TeamStaff’s operating gross profit was $4.9 million, or 17.4% of revenues, for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $5.4 million, or 17.3% of revenues, for the six months ended March 31, 2008. SG&A expenses were $5.3 million for both the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Net loss was $511,000 or ($0.10) per share for the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to net income of $99,000 or $0.02 per share for the first six months of fiscal 2008. Adjusted to eliminate profit from certain non-recurring retroactive billings in fiscal 2008, the results for the six months ended March 31, 2008 would have been a net loss of $0.2 million, or ($0.04) per share.
Outlook
The initial guidance provided by TeamStaff was based upon numerous assumptions, all of which are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including the added difficulty in predicting demand caused by current economic conditions and the timing of when certain government contracts would be awarded. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with these forward looking statements, please see the “Safe Harbor Statement” below.
Over the past several months, the Company has seen turnover in key government contracting positions and agencies waiting for the receipt of stimulus funds before committing to certain projects. This has helped translate into a longer Government sales cycle. The timing and start dates of contract awards have become extremely difficult to project. Therefore, the Company is withdrawing its previous fiscal 2009 operating revenue growth estimate of 8% to 10% for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. The Company does, however, still anticipate strong government demand in the second half of its fiscal year and presently has an active pipeline of new business opportunities with the Federal Government.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. TeamStaff’s management does not suggest that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures, such as net income, cash flow data or other financial information presented in the consolidated financial statements. Adjusted net (loss) income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net (loss) income minus gross profit from non-recurring retroactive billings. The Company believes it is useful for management and investors to review both GAAP information and non-GAAP financial measures to have a better understanding of the overall performance of the Company’s business and trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that this information provides greater insight into our Company’s underlying operating performance that facilitates a more meaningful comparison of its current financial results in different reporting periods. The Company has chosen to show the three and six month comparative adjusted net (loss)income to show what results would have been in the three and six months of fiscal 2008 had the non-recurring retroactive billings not occurred.
