SPRINGFIELD, Va., Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Versar, Inc. (NYSE MKT: VSR) today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended June 27, 2014.
Financial Results
Gross revenue for fiscal year 2014 increased 7% to $110.3 million, as compared to gross revenue of $102.6 million in fiscal 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the acquisition of GMI. Gross margin decreased to 6% as compared to 13% in fiscal 2013 related primarily to the continued wind down of Title II work in Afghanistan, which is anticipated to conclude in fiscal year 2015 and the completion of several projects in the Company's Professional Services Group (PSG). Gross profit from PSG declined as a result of contracts shifting to small business programs. During the year, the Company subcontracted a large percentage of services in order to offer a broader range of capabilities, which also contributed to compressed gross margins. For the year ended June 27, 2014, the Company reported a goodwill impairment charge of $1.4 million related to goodwill from acquisitions prior to fiscal year 2011. Versar also recorded a tax benefit of $1.0 million for fiscal year 2014. The net loss for the year was $334,000 or a loss of $0.03 per share on a fully diluted basis (which includes $0.02 from discontinued operations) as compared to net income of $2.4 million or $0.25 per share on a fully diluted basis (which includes a loss of $0.18 from discontinued operations) for fiscal 2013.
Gross revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 decreased slightly to $24.9 million, compared to revenues of $25.1 million during the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year. The Company reported a reduction in gross margins for the quarter, primarily due to the decrease in gross profit related to the previously mentioned continued wind down of its Title II work in Afghanistan. The Company took the entire goodwill impairment charge of $1.4 million related to goodwill from acquisitions prior to fiscal year 2011, in the fourth quarter. Versar also reported a tax benefit of $1.1 million for the quarter. The net loss for the quarter was $965,000 or a loss of $0.10 per share (which included a loss of $0.01 from discontinued operations) as compared to a net loss of $411,000 or a loss of $0.04 on a fully diluted basis (which included a loss of $0.09 from discontinued operations) in the same period of 2013.
Versar closed fiscal 2014 with a cash balance of approximately $9.7 million, $1.1 million in debt and stockholders' equity of $37.8 million.
Increased Funded Backlog
As of June 27, 2014, Versar recorded funded backlog of approximately $114 million, an increase of 5% compared to $108 million of funded backlog at the end of fiscal year 2013. Since the close of the quarter, Versar announced a $98.3 million contract with the U.S. Air Force for repairs to runways at Dover Air Force base and completed the acquisition of J.M. Waller Associates which has more than $30 million in annual revenue. As a result, funded backlog at the end of August 2014 is approximately $220 million, a 93% increase as compared to funded backlog at the completion of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
Tony Otten, CEO of Versar said, "Fiscal 2014 was marked by several positive strategic developments, including the acquisitions of Geo-Marine, Inc. (GMI) and Lime Energy's Facility Repair and Renewal business unit, both of which broaden our capabilities and enhance our market presence. During the fourth quarter we continued to be impacted by delayed funding for government contracts as a result of last fall's government shut down and sequestration. Our backlog, however, has significantly strengthened since the close of the quarter primarily because of the large contract with the U.S. Air Force for repairs to the runways at Dover Air Force base as well as the addition of funded backlog from our acquisition of Waller. The Dover contract is a direct result of our acquisition of GMI and we are confident that it positions us positively to win similar business in the future. J.M. Waller Associates, Inc., is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), with more than $30 million in annual revenues. J.M. Waller provides environmental facilities, professional staffing and logistics consulting services to a wide range of government, industry and commercial clients. They are a good fit for us geographically and culturally, and we expect their facilities expertise and customer base will expand our reach in terms of clients, technical capabilities and geography."
Mr. Otten continued, "We have built our business on our ability to provide a broad range of solutions in a wide range of environments and we have developed strong relationships and a reputation for getting the job done. We are continuously pursuing new partnership opportunities and the expansion of our existing relationships, domestically and internationally with a focus on winning significant contracts related to non-discretionary funding and our recent acquisitions enhance and strengthen our diverse set of capabilities."
