"I am very pleased with Mastech Digital's performance in the
fourth quarter as well as the full year 2019," said Vivek Gupta, the Company's President and Chief
Executive Officer. "Both of our business segments performed
very well during the fourth quarter, growing revenues, expanding
gross margins and increasing operating profits. What I am
particularly happy to announce is that our Data and Analytics
Services segment had an outstanding quarter with respect to scaling
the pipeline of opportunities and winning several multi-year
multi-million dollar orders. With the continued positive momentum
in both business segments, I am looking forward to a strong 2020
for Mastech Digital."
Commenting on the Company's financial position, Jack Cronin, Mastech Digital's Chief Financial
Officer, stated, "During the fourth quarter, we continue to reduce
bank debt and improve our leverage ratios. For the full year
2019, we lowered bank debt by over $13
million, including the early payment of a portion of our
outstanding term loan balance. At year-end 2019, we had
approximately $13 million of
borrowing capacity available to us under our revolving credit
line."

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 and our
July 2017 acquisition of the services
division of InfoTrellis, Inc. 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.
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.
Acquisition-related transaction expenses: We incurred
significant expenses in connection with our acquisition of
InfoTrellis, Inc. 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. In the 2018 and 2019 periods, we recorded
reductions in acquisition-related transaction expense due to
revised estimates of investment banking fees associated with
contingent consideration payments. We believe that providing
non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these expenses / credits
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.
Contingent consideration liability revaluation: In connection
with the InfoTrellis acquisition, the Company may have been
required to pay future consideration that was contingent upon the
achievement of specific earnings before interest and tax objectives
("EBIT"). As of the acquisition date, the Company recorded a
contingent consideration liability representing the estimated fair
value of such contingent consideration that was expected to be
paid. In 2019 and 2018 this contingent consideration liability was
reduced by $6.1 million and
$11.1 million, respectively, after
determining that relevant conditions for payment of such liability
were unlikely to be fully satisfied. We believe that providing
non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these adjustments to
expense 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.
Goodwill impairment: The Company accounts for acquisitions in
accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business
Combinations. Accordingly, excess purchase price over the
fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible
assets are recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is
tasted for impairment at least on an annual basis. If
impairment is indicated, a write-down to fair value is recorded
based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its
fair market value. As a result of the reductions to contingent
consideration related to the InfoTrellis acquisition, we performed
a quantitative impairment tests on June 30,
2019 and on June 30, 2018 and
again on December 31, 2018. The
results of this testing indicated no impairment of goodwill in 2019
and $9.7 million of impairments
associated with the carrying value of goodwill in 2018. While
it is possible that goodwill impairment could occur in the future,
we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude
impairment expense 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 the services division of InfoTrellis, Inc. and
the PNC credit facility and the expected performance of Mastech
Digital following completion of these transactions. 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,
2018.
