First Quarter Results:

Revenues for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $46.8 million, compared to $55.1 million during the corresponding quarter of 2023. Gross profits in the first quarter of 2024 were $12.1 million, compared to $13.5 million in the same quarter of 2023. Gross margins improved to 25.9% in the 2024 first quarter, versus 24.5% in the 2023 first quarter. GAAP net income (loss) for the first quarter of 2024 totaled ($161,000) or ($0.01) per diluted share, compared to $261,000 net income, or $0.02 per diluted share, during the same period of 2023. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $0.8 million or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023.

Activity levels at the Company’s Data and Analytics Services segment were solid in the first quarter of 2024, with order bookings totaling $9.6 million – all of which are expected to be recognized as revenues over the next twelve months. During the first quarter of 2024, our clients seemed more comfortable with starting new assignments than they were during 2023. Demand for the Company’s IT Staffing Services segment noticeably increased in the first quarter of 2024, as we grew our billable consultant base by 6% during the quarter and achieved sequential revenue growth when comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the fourth quarter of 2023.


Vivek Gupta, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “The first quarter of 2024 showed encouraging signs of market improvements in both of our business segments. This quarter was the first quarter since the third quarter of 2022 where both of our segments’ clients shifted their spending patterns in a positive direction. Additionally, gross margins improved during the quarter by 140-basis points when compared to a year ago, and we successfully reduced S,G&A expenses by 3% from the corresponding quarter of 2023. While there is still more work to be done, we have a more positive outlook on market conditions and our growth opportunities for 2024.”

Commenting on the Company’s financial position, Jack Cronin, Mastech Digital’s Chief Financial Officer stated: “On March 31, 2024, we had $19.4 million of cash balances on hand, no bank debt, and borrowing availability of $24.2 million under our revolving credit facility. Our Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) measurement was a healthy 56 days at the end of first quarter, which is an improvement of 5 days when compared to a year ago.”

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, our July 2017 acquisition of the services division of InfoTrellis, Inc. and our October 2020 acquisition of AmberLeaf Partners. 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 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.

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 and statements regarding the Company’s ability to generate 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 forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the level of market demand for the Company’s 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, the Company’s ability to create, acquire and build new lines of business, to attract and retain qualified personnel, reduce costs and conserve cash, the extent to which the Company’s business is adversely affected by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or any other pandemics or outbreaks disrupting day-to-day activities 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, 2023.
