Gross profits in the first quarter of 2025 were $12.9 million, compared to $12.1 million in the corresponding quarter of 2024.

GAAP net (loss) for the first quarter of 2025 totaled ($1.4 million) or ($0.12) per diluted share, compared to a net (loss) of ($161,000), or ($0.01) per diluted share, during the same period of 2024.

Activity levels at the Company's Data and Analytics Services segment were in line with our expectations for the first quarter of 2025, with order bookings totaling $11.7 million. However, demand for the Company's IT Staffing Services was noticeably below last year's levels. We are seeing that clients, in general, have been acting with caution due to uncertainties in the marketplace, which we believe is having the effect of muting demand for contingent workforce projects.

Nirav Patel, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "The first quarter of 2025 presented a challenging demand environment, with muted business activity levels across the industry. Despite these headwinds, we believe our disciplined approach has helped us remain resilient and responsive to changing market dynamics. We continue to maintain a sharp focus on strengthening relationships with our key clients, and we remain cautiously optimistic as we look ahead. I'm pleased to share that both of our business units delivered year-over-year growth during the first quarter of 2025, which we believe reflects the strength of our core offerings and the trust we've built with our clients. We plan on continuing to execute with discipline, drive operational efficiency, and stay closely aligned with our long-term strategic priorities."

Commenting on the Company's financial position, Kannan Sugantharaman, Mastech Digital's Chief Financial Officer, stated: "On March 31, 2025, we had $24.7 million of cash balances on hand, no bank debt, and borrowing availability of $23.7 million under our revolving credit facility. Our Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) measurement stood at 56-days on March 31, 2025, which is well within our targeted range."

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 from 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 facilitate comparisons of our results with other periods.

Severance charges: From time to time, we incur severance expenses related to the termination by the Company of leadership and other key personnel. 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.
