CIBER REPORTS SOLID SECOND QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue Sets Record, Income and EPS Increase
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colorado — July 26, 2006 — CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR) reported solid financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 with revenue of $250.0 million, an increase of four percent compared to the second quarter of 2005, or six percent organic growth factoring in the IBM staffing business sold in August 2005. Net income increased by $0.2 million, or three percent, to $6.8 million, and GAAP EPS was $0.11 per share, an increase of ten percent over the June 2005 quarter.
CIBER earned the highest quarterly revenue in its 32-year history, with organic growth in four of its five operating groups.
“We were pleased with our results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. CIBER’s business model is evolving, but it already is relevant and effective. CIBER’s improvement in operating results is continuing. Organic revenue growth drove sequential operating leverage in gross margins and operating income margins. Delivering year-over-year and sequential improvements in most areas of our model represents both this marketplace positioning and the results of a lot of hard work by CIBER employees around the globe. The momentum of the significant reinvention of our global delivery model from 2001 to 2005 is now playing out in our improving operating results,” said Mac Slingerlend, CIBER’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Further enhancing our global delivery capability was the June 2006 opening of a new 50,000 square foot delivery center in Bangalore, India. Lastly, wins in the first and second quarters are entering the operational cycle, giving us confidence that the balance of 2006 and 2007 are positioned for further progress.”
Financial Review -
Revenue:
Revenue of $250.0 million for the June 2006 quarter increased $9.0 million, or approximately four percent, over the June 2005 quarter (six percent organically excluding 2005’s IBM staffing business). For the six months ended June 2006, revenue of $491.7 million exceeded the like 2005 period by $11.2 million, or two percent (six percent organically after adjusting out IBM staffing business). On a sequential basis, revenue increased $8.3 million, or three percent, from $241.7 million for the March 2006 quarter.
More specifically as to CIBER’s business model segments, organic revenue growth for the second quarter on a year-over-year basis:
· State & Local Government grew 17 percent.
· CIBER Enterprise Solutions (U.S.-ERP) grew 15 percent.
· European operations grew seven percent (in local currency and in U.S. dollars).
· U.S. Commercial Practice grew two percent (despite the reduced IBM staffing, which would add six percent more comparatively).
· Only CIBER’s Federal Practice, which incurred a lost subcontract in the second quarter of 2005 and has experienced several delays in new awards, did not grow; it was 17 percent lower.
Foreign Exchange Impacts:
The impact of stronger foreign exchange rates for both the Euro and the British Pound in the second quarter increased revenue sequentially by approximately $2.7 million, or approximately one percent. The sequential effect of foreign exchange changes on operating income was approximately $0.2 million.
Gross Margin:
Gross margin at 27.7 percent was 10 basis points higher for the June 2006 quarter than the June 2005 quarter. Gross margin was 180 basis points greater from the March 2006 quarter, significantly due to a combination of mix change to more work in Europe and less Federal government work, and a better demand environment.
Selling General & Administrative Expense:
Primarily because of the mix change to more European and less Federal activity, SG&A expense increased 60 basis points to 22.0 percent from the June 2005 quarter, and was 70 basis points higher than the March 2006 quarter. SG&A expense margins as a percent of revenue decreased in Europe and State & Local Practices on a year-over-year basis.
Operating Income Margin:
Operating income margin of 5.2 percent for the June 2006 quarter was a decrease of 30 basis points from 5.5 percent on a year-over-year basis, however, an improvement of 115 basis points from the March 2006 quarter. Margin improvements in CIBER’s State & Local and European Practices were mitigated by U.S.-ERP and Federal Practices margin compression on a year-over-year basis, while lower U.S. payroll taxes and higher European results contributed greatly to the sequential increase.
Income Tax Rate:
The income tax rate for the June 2006 and June 2005 quarters was 39 percent, and 40 percent for the March 2006 quarter. CIBER projects lower tax rates in the second half of 2006 and an average of 37-38 percent for the year.
2
Net Income:
Net income for the June 2006 quarter of $6.8 million was $0.2 million, or approximately three percent, greater than the June 2005 quarter. For the six months ended June 2006, net income of $11.2 million was 22 percent below the June 2005 six-month period of $14.4 million. On a sequential basis, net income improved $2.3 million, or 52 percent, from the March 2006 quarter of $4.5 million.
GAAP EPS:
GAAP EPS of $0.11 per share for the June 2006 quarter was $0.01 per share, or 10 percent, better than the June 2005 quarter. Sequentially, EPS for the June 2006 quarter was 57 percent higher than the March 2006 quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, EPS of $0.18 per share trailed the like 2005 period by $0.04 per share, or 18 percent.
Balance Sheet:
CIBER’s cash position was $32.3 million at June 30, 2006. Its working capital borrowings were $35.5 million. Shareholder equity was $395.3 million. Services DSOs were 69 days for the June 2006 quarter.
Contract Wins and Pipeline:
Following the strongest win quarter in CIBER’s history, second quarter 2006 contract wins (including Europe) totaled $240 million, a 1.0:1 book-to-bill ratio. For the six months ended June 2006, wins of $620 million represented a solid 1.3:1 book-to-bill ratio. Specific second quarter solutions oriented wins included:
- A $13 million State of New Hampshire win awarded in April (in our Lawson ERP Practice) was a major victory for CIBER and Lawson in the public sector, work began on this project in July 2006.
- A $3 million service level agreement with a high tech customer in Rochester, NY to do outsourced services locally and in Bangalore, India.
- Several $1 million plus wins in CIBER’s Commercial Practice in Detroit, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Orlando, Denver, Washington, D.C. and Edison, NJ.
- Several million-dollar contracts with new and existing customers in the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, Austria, Russia and the United Kingdom.
- A $3 million infrastructure contract for Walter Reed Medical Center in CIBER’s Federal Practice.
- A $1 million web portal project win with Toyota Motors Sales, a new client, to be done domestically and in CIBER’s offshore facilities.
Increased solution oriented business development efforts continue to grow CIBER’s pipeline, as well. CIBER’s pipeline (excluding Europe) at June 30th increased $100 million to approximately $2.5 billion.
