RESTON, Va., Aug. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Santeon Group Inc. (OTCBB: SANT, "Santeon" or the "Company") announced today operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Second Quarter Highlights

Increased revenue 46.3% year-over-year to $1,355,614 for the second quarter 2013
Grew Agile revenue 69.3% year-over-year to $971,799 for the second quarter 2013
Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $73,931, or 5.5% of revenue, for the second quarter 2013
Expanded gross margins 920 basis points to 52.5% for the second quarter 2013, compared to 43.3% for the second quarter 2012

Added four revenue-generating employees during the second quarter 2013, bringing the total number of revenue-generating employees to 25 as of June 30, 2013

"Santeon's strong performance during the second quarter 2013 reflects the increasing demand within the public and private sectors for enterprise agility. During the quarter, we added four new revenue-generating employees, and received a full quarter of productivity from three others who joined the Company during the first quarter, as we served new and existing clients with expert training, coaching and consulting services," commented Dr. Ash Rofail, Chief Executive Officer of Santeon. "Looking ahead, we are poised to continue our growth trajectory as more organizations look to drive operational efficiencies. We are particularly excited about growth opportunities for our public sector business as budget cuts prompt federal, state and local agencies to leverage technology and optimize practices to run more efficiently and increase their ability to respond to tighter budget demands."

Dr. Rofail added, "We continue to be encouraged by our improving financial profile, including higher revenue, positive working capital and significantly reduced debt, all of which have enhanced stockholders' equity. Looking forward, our improved financial profile positions us strongly to execute our long-term growth strategy."
