Analysts International Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) - Analysts International Corporation (
-- Revenue was $30.9M, down 51% from third quarter 2008. Adjusting for the planned exit from low-margin and non-core lines of business, revenue was down 35% -- Margins improved 30 basis points -- Selling, administrative and other operating costs reduced by $2.9 million or 25% -- $7.7 million in cash with excess credit facility availability of $9.4 million -- Sold the assets of our value-added reseller (VAR) and Medical Concepts Staffing operations -- Entered into new $15 million credit facility that expires in September 2012
Analysts International Corporation (AIC) (
For the nine months ended October 3, 2009, the Company reported revenue of $116.6 million compared to $227.4 million for the comparable period a year ago. The net loss for the nine months ended October 3, 2009, was $12.7 million, or $0.51 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.10 per share, for the comparable period a year ago. These losses include a $5.1 million net charge, or $0.20 per share, for the impairment of customer list intangible assets, restructuring, severance, consulting and transaction related costs and gains on asset sales for the nine months ended October 3, 2009, and a $3.1 million charge, or $0.12 per share, for restructuring, severance and other consulting costs for the nine months ended September 27, 2008.
"Third quarter marked an important milestone in the transformation of our business," said Elmer Baldwin, AIC President and CEO. "With the sale of the assets of our value-added reseller and Medical Concepts Staffing operations, we completed all planned divestitures and associated restructuring. We can now focus our attention entirely on our IT services business.
"We also made the investments in sales and client services necessary to help ensure AIC is well positioned for long-term growth," added Baldwin. "We expect to see the results of these efforts begin to emerge over the next few quarters. Our overall balance sheet strength and liquidity improved with the sale of assets and the new credit facility."
2009 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Review
Our revenues decreased $31.7 million, or 50.7%, in the third quarter 2009 compared to the third quarter 2008, and by $110.8 million, or 48.7%, for the first nine months of fiscal 2009, when compared to the comparable period of 2008, primarily due to our planned exit from non-core and low-margin lines of business and the negative effect the economic environment has had on the demand for our IT professional services.
In the third quarter of 2009, gross margins were $5.9 million, or 19.1 percent of revenue, compared to $11.8 million, or 18.8 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2008. Gross margins were $23.0 million, or 19.7 percent of revenue, in the first nine months of fiscal 2009, compared to $39.4 million, or 17.3 percent of revenue, in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The increase in gross margins as a percent of revenue reflects the impact of implementing our strategy of exiting low margin lines of business and accounts.
Selling, administrative and other general expenses declined by $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2009, when compared to the third quarter of 2008, and by $8.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2009, when compared to the comparable period of 2008. This is largely a result of our efforts to reduce operating costs as part of the business transformation plan that was announced in early 2008 and the decrease in demand for IT professional services.
We generated cash from operations of $0.2 million in both the third quarter of 2009 and 2008. We generated cash from operations of $3.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to cash generated of $1.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. As of October 3, 2009, we had a cash balance of $7.7 million, excess availability of $9.4 million and no borrowings under our credit facility.

* Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating the Company's business, the Company's management considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA refers to a financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, special charges and other gains and losses that are not related to the Company's operations. This measure is an essential component of the Company's internal planning process because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of the Company's operating performance by eliminating potential differences in net income (loss) caused by the existence and timing of certain non-cash items, special charges and other gains and losses. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
