PITTSBURGH, Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mastech
Digital, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MHH), a national provider of Information
Technology staffing and Digital Transformation services, announced
today its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year
ended December 31, 2016.
Fourth Quarter 2016 Highlights:
- Revenues totaled $32.4 million,
in-line with revenues of $32.5
million in the 2015 fourth quarter;
- Billable consultants at year-end 2016 totaled 881 or
approximately 4% higher than at December 31,
2015;
- GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.14 versus $0.29
in the 2015 fourth quarter;
- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.19 versus $0.31
in the 2015 fourth quarter.
Fourth Quarter Results:
Revenues for the fourth
quarter of 2016 totaled $32.4 million
compared to $32.5 million during the
corresponding quarter last year. Gross profit in the fourth
quarter of 2016 was $6.4 million,
compared to $6.7 million in the
fourth quarter of 2015. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of
2016 totaled $640,000 or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $1.3 million or $0.29 per diluted share during the same period
last year. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2016
was $841,000 or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million or $0.31 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of
2015.
Demand for the Company's staffing services was in-line with the
third quarter of 2016 and largely offset a higher level of
assignment ends historically expected during the fourth quarter.
This resulted in the Company's billable consultant-base being
essentially unchanged from the previous quarter.
Commenting on the Company's 2016 fourth quarter results,
Vivek Gupta, Mastech Digital's Chief
Executive Officer stated, "While our fourth quarter operating
results were challenged on a year-over-year basis, due in part to
several favorable cost adjustments in the 2015 quarter and
increased investment in our business, I was pleased with our
consultants-on-billing performance and the continued progress with
respect to our digital transformation efforts. With
investments made in 2016 to enhance both our sales and recruitment
capabilities, I'm confident in our abilities to accelerate growth
in 2017."
Full Year Results:
Revenues for the full year 2016
totaled $132.0 million compared to
$123.5 million in 2015. Our
top-line growth largely reflected our June
15, 2015 acquisition of Hudson IT. Gross profit for
2016 totaled $26.3 million or 19.9%
of total revenues, compared to $23.8
million or 19.3% of total revenues in 2015. GAAP net
income for 2016 totaled $2.5 million
or $0.56 per diluted share, compared
to $2.8 million or $0.62 per diluted share in 2015. Non-GAAP
net income for 2016 totaled $3.8
million or $0.84 per diluted
share, compared to $3.8 million or
$0.85 per diluted share one year
earlier.
Commenting on the Company's financial position, Jack Cronin, Mastech Digital's Chief Financial
Officer, stated, "At December 31,
2016 we had bank debt, net of cash balances on hand, of
$9.1 million and approximately
$12 million of borrowing capacity
available to us under our revolving credit line. During the
year, our bank debt declined by $2.6
million. Additionally, our largest balance sheet asset,
accounts receivable, remains of very high quality with a "days
sales outstanding" measurement of 58-days at year-end
2016."
In conjunction with its fourth quarter earnings release, Mastech
Digital will host a conference call at 9:00
A.M. ET on February 8, 2017 to
discuss these results and to answer questions. A live webcast

Relations section and follow the links to the live webcast.

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:
Amortization of acquired intangible assets: We
amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with our
June 2015 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 generally would not have otherwise incurred in
the periods presented as part of our continuing operations.
These transaction expenses consist 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 expense 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 (i) projections of revenues, earnings, and cash flow,
and (ii) the expected benefits to Mastech Digital from completing
the acquisition of Hudson IT and the expected performance of
Mastech Digital following completion of the acquisition.
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 Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2015.
