PITTSBURGH, Feb. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mastech
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MHH), a national provider of Information
Technology staffing services, announced today its financial results
for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.
Fourth Quarter 2015 Highlights:
- Revenues totaled $32.5 million,
compared to $28.5 million in the 2014
fourth quarter;
- Gross profit margins increased to 20.6% from 18.3% in the
fourth quarter of 2014;
- GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.29 versus $0.18
in the 2014 fourth quarter;
- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.31 versus $0.18
in the 2014 fourth quarter.
Fourth Quarter Results:
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $32.5 million compared to $28.5 million during the corresponding quarter
last year. Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2015 was
$6.7 million, compared to
$5.2 million in the fourth quarter of
2014. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled
$1.3 million, compared to
$782,000 during the same period last
year. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was
$1.4 million, compared to
$804,000 in the fourth quarter of
2014. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.29 in the 2015 fourth quarter, compared to
$0.18 in the fourth quarter of
2014. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.31 in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to
$0.18 for the corresponding period in
2014.
Demand for the Company's staffing services remained strong from
the third quarter of 2015. Despite this solid demand, we had a 5%
decline in our billable consultant base during the quarter. While
this decline reflected a high-level of assignment ends, which
historically occur in fourth quarter, we also had challenges in
converting demand opportunities into new starts.
Commenting on the Company's 2015 fourth quarter, Kevin Horner, Mastech's Chief Executive Officer,
stated, "While our fourth quarter operating results and
year-over-year comparables indicate that we have done an excellent
acquisition in Hudson IT, I am disappointed with our performance in
driving new starts during the fourth quarter. While our
consultant-base decline did reflect a high level of assignment
ends, we had ample opportunities on the starts side to mitigate
this negative impact. As we enter 2016, our primary
operational objective is to address these start issues and return
the Company to a consistent growth trajectory with respect to our
billable consultant base."
Full Year Results:
Revenues for the full year 2015 totaled $123.5 million compared to $113.5 million in 2014. Our top-line growth
reflected our June 15, 2015
acquisition of Hudson IT. Gross profit for 2015 totaled
$23.8 million or 19.3% of total
revenues, compared to $20.8 million
or 18.3% of total revenues in 2014. GAAP net income for 2015
totaled $2.8 million or $0.62 per diluted share compared to $3.4 million or $0.77 per diluted share in 2014. Non-GAAP
net income for 2015 totaled $3.8
million or $0.85 per diluted
share compared to $3.6 million or
$0.81 per diluted share one year
earlier.
Commenting on the Company's financial position, Jack Cronin, Mastech's Chief Financial Officer,
stated, "At December 31, 2015 we had
bank debt, net of cash balances on hand, of $11.7 million and had approximately $11 million of borrowing capacity available to us
under our revolving credit line. During the quarter, net bank
debt declined by $3.8 million.
Additionally, our largest balance sheet asset, accounts receivable,
remains of high quality with a "days sales outstanding" measurement
of 53-days at year-end."
In conjunction with its fourth quarter earnings release, Mastech
will host a conference call at 9:00 A.M.
ET on February 3, 2016 to

Use of non-GAAP Measures:
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures to
supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis.
The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to,
financial information prepared and presented in accordance with
GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material
limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures
as an analytical tool. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP
measures to their comparable GAAP measures are included in the
attached financial tables.
We believe that providing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share offers investors useful supplemental
information about the financial performance of our business,
enables comparison of financial results between periods where
certain items may vary independent of business performance, and
allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by
management in operating our business. Additionally,
management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the
Company's performance.
Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures contained herein
exclude the following expense items, net of income tax benefits
computed at our effective income tax rate for the periods
presented:
Amortization of acquired intangible assets: We
amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with our
acquisition of Hudson IT. We exclude these amortization
expenses in our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe it
allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our
operating results and those of other companies within our industry
and facilitates a helpful comparison of our results with other
periods.
Acquisition related transaction expenses: We
incurred significant expenses in connection with our acquisition of
Hudson IT which we would not have otherwise incurred in the periods
presented as part of our continuing operations. These
transaction expenses consisted of investment banking fees, legal
expenses, audit charges related to our acquired companies and
various advisor costs. We believe that providing non-GAAP
financial measures that exclude these expenses allows investors to
make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and
those of other companies within our industry and facilitates a
helpful comparison of our results with other periods.
Stock-based compensation expenses: We incur
material recurring expenses related to non-cash, stock-based
compensation. We exclude these expenses in our non-GAAP financial
measures because we believe that it provides investors with
meaningful supplemental information regarding operational
performance. In particular, because of varying available
valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of
award types that companies can use under ASC 718, we believe that
providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these expenses
allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our
operating results and those of other companies within our industry
and facilitates comparison of our results with other periods.
Severance charges: From time to time, we incur
severance expense related to the termination by the Company of
leadership personnel. While it is probable that these
expenses will occur in the future, we believe that providing
non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these expenses are useful
for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total
operating expenses and facilitate comparison of our results with
other periods.
Forward-Looking Statements:
Certain statements contained in this release are forward-looking
statements based on management's expectations, estimates,
projections and assumptions. Words such as "expects,"
"anticipates," "plans," "believes," "scheduled," "estimates" and
variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements, which include but are not
limited to projections of revenues, earnings, and cash flow.
These statements are based on information currently available to
the Company and it assumes no obligation to update the
forward-looking statements as circumstances change. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
certain risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual future results and trends may differ materially
from what is forecast in forward-looking statements due to a
variety of factors, including, without limitation, the level of
market demand for its services, the highly competitive market for
the types of services offered by the Company, the impact of
competitive factors on profit margins, market conditions that could
cause the Company's customers to reduce their spending for its
services, and the Company's ability to create, acquire and build
new lines of business, to attract and retain qualified personnel,
reduce costs and conserve cash, and other risks that are described
in more detail in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2014.
