FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Mastech Holdings, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results
PITTSBURGH, PA – August 13, 2009 – Mastech Holdings, Inc., (NYSE Amex: MHH – News), a national provider of Information Technology Staffing services, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Revenues for the quarter were $17.7 million, compared to $24.4 million reported in the corresponding quarter last year. Consolidated net income for the second quarter 2009 totaled $256,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the same period last year. The Company’s results in the second quarter of 2008 included certain income tax benefits derived from the Company’s participation in its former parent’s consolidated U.S. tax return, which are not available to the Company as a stand alone organization. The impact of such tax benefits on second quarter 2008 consolidated net income totaled $242,000 or $0.07 per diluted share.
Business activity during the second quarter of 2009 showed a modest improvement from the previous quarter. Accordingly, the rate of decline in our billable consultant headcount improved compared to past quarters. Second quarter billable consultant headcount declined by 3%, compared to 10% in the first quarter of 2009 and 11% in the fourth quarter of 2008. Additionally, our second quarter gross margin of 19.3% was our highest quarterly performance since the second quarter of 2008.
Thomas B. Moran, Chief Executive Officer of Mastech stated, “While the economic environment remains challenging, we are seeing signs of market stabilization. Accordingly, we have taken a more aggressive posture with respect to margin protection, including walking away from low margin business. Additionally, we are focused on making the prudent investments necessary, in the near-term, to capitalize on market opportunities as the economic recovery process advances. This includes an acquisition strategy aimed at adding scale and strengthening our existing business model.”
Commenting on the Company’s financial position, Jack Cronin, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “At June 30, 2009 we had $6.9 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, no outstanding long-term debt, and access to approximately $7 million of credit under our existing loan facility. Our accounts receivable are in excellent shape, despite the depth and breadth of the current economic downturn. As of June 30, 2009, our DSO measurement was 42-days, and less than 2% of our receivable balance was aged beyond 90-days.”
In conjunction with its second quarter earnings release, Mastech will host a conference call at 9:00 A. M. EST on August 13, 2009 to discuss these results and to answer questions. A live webcast of this conference call will be available on the company’s website, www.mastech.com. Simply click on the Investor Relations section and follow the links to the live webcast. The webcast will remain available for replay through August 20, 2009.
