Radiant Logistics Announces Results for the First Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2009

 
 

Reaffirms Prior Guidance for Fiscal Year 2010 with $4.0 Million in Adjusted EBITDA on $140.0 Million in Revenues

BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radiant Logistics, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RLGT), a domestic and international freight forwarding and logistics services company, today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, Radiant reported net income of $116,000 on $34.0 million of revenues, or $0.00 per basic and fully diluted share. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, Radiant reported net income of $250,000 on $32.4 million of revenues, or $0.01 per basic and fully diluted share.

The Company also reported adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $722,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $806,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. A reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure appears at the end of this release.

The Company has also provided additional prior period analysis using pro forma results of operations presented as if Radiant had acquired Adcom as of July 1, 2008 which is included on the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and filed November 16, 2009.

"Given the economic realities of today's business environment, we are pleased with the financial results for our quarter ended September 30, 2009," said Bohn Crain, Chairman and CEO. "Our recent acquisition of Adcom has allowed us to post year over year growth even in the face of the soft global economy. Our business has by no means been immune to the recent economic contraction, but one of the inherent benefits of our agent-based forwarding network is the underlying scalability of our business model. This is evidenced by the significant cost synergies reflected in our most recent quarter resulting from the elimination of Adcom's back-office operations which were transitioned from Minneapolis to Bellevue in June of this year. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, personnel costs were $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of 11.9% from $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, personnel costs was 13.5% for three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 14.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Crain continued, "It is this same scalable business model that leaves us well positioned moving forward as we will enjoy significant operating leverage as the economy begins to recover. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, we are reaffirming our prior guidance of $4.0 million in adjusted EBITDA on $140 million in annual revenues. This is before considering the impact of any future acquisitions or improvement in the general economic climate. Looking forward, our strategy remains unchanged. From our current platform, we believe profitable growth can be best achieved by continuing to bring value to the agent-based forwarder community. Over the past two years our unique value proposition has continued to gain momentum in the marketplace as evidenced by the number of great new agent partners that have joined our ranks. Over the longer term, we believe this trend will continue. We approach 2010 with a sharp focus on our three-prong strategy: (1) providing continuous improvement to our existing network participants in terms of technology, buy rates and enhanced service offerings; (2) building upon the success of our organic growth initiative by on-boarding additional agent stations; and (3) opportunistically pursuing acquisition opportunities, including strategic opportunities within the community of agent-based forwarders."

The Company's estimate of future revenues and profits is based on the assumption that the cumulative historical financial results of operations of the Company and Adcom for the most recent 12 months ended June 30, 2009 are indicative of the future financial performance of the combined group after giving effect for the recent economic slow-down and cost synergies associated with the elimination of Adcom's back-office operation. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears at the end of this release.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information

We believe supplemental disclosure of our adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for stock-based compensation and other non-cash costs is a useful measure for investors because it eliminates the effect of certain non-cash costs and provides an important metric for our business. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA amounts to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is shown below:

                Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income and Net Cash
                        Provided By Operating Activities
                                    (UNAUDITED)

    As used in this report, adjusted EBITDA means earnings before interest,
    income taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for stock-based
    compensation and other non-cash charges.  We believe that adjusted EBITDA,
    as presented, represents a useful method of assessing the performance of
    our operating activities, as it reflects our earnings trends without the
    impact of certain non-cash charges.  Adjusted EBITDA is also used by our
    creditors in assessing debt covenant compliance.  We understand that
    although securities analysts frequently use EBITDA in their evaluation of
    companies, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled
    captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method
    of calculation.  EBITDA is not intended as an alternative to cash flow
    provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, as an
    alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance,
    nor as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity
    with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
    America.

    The following is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to both net income
    and cash flow provided by operating activities:
