FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Mastech Holdings, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

PITTSBURGH, PA – July 27, 2016 - Mastech Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MHH), a national provider of Information Technology staffing services, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Second Quarter 2016 Highlights:

 

    Revenues totaled $33.6 million compared to $29.3 million in the 2015 second quarter; and represented a 6% sequential increase over first quarter 2016;

 

    Gross profit margins increased to 20.5% from 18.8% in the second quarter of 2015 and 19.3% in the first quarter of 2016;

 

    Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.25 versus $0.18 per diluted share in the 2015 second quarter;

 

    GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.21 versus $0.09 per diluted share in the 2015 second quarter; and

 

    Consultants-on-Billing increased by 7% during the second quarter of 2016 compared to flat organic growth in the second quarter of 2015.

Second Quarter Results:

Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $33.6 million compared to $29.3 million during the corresponding quarter last year. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2016 was $6.9 million compared to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2015. GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $945,000, compared to $382,000 during the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $1.1 million, compared to $801,000 in the second quarter of 2015. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.21 in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $0.09 in the second quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.25 in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $0.18 for the corresponding period in 2015.

Demand for the Company’s staffing services was up from the previous quarter, resulting in an increase to our consultant-base of 62 consultants to a total of 916 consultants-on-billing at quarter end. Gross margins in the second quarter of 2016 were 20.5%, representing a material increase from both the previous quarter’s 19.3% gross margin performance and the 18.8% margins that were reported in second quarter 2015.

Commenting on the Company’s second quarter 2016, Vivek Gupta, Mastech’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We were able to organically grow our consultant-base during the quarter by 7%; our gross margins improved nicely from a quarter ago; and we completed a number of personnel moves aimed at strengthening our leadership capabilities and improving our operational effectiveness. Additionally, we have begun our journey of re-positioning Mastech to capitalize on opportunities in the vast area of digital technologies.”

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 completion of the acquisition, the time frame in which this will occur, the expected benefits to Mastech from completing the acquisition and the expected performance of Mastech 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.
