FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SFN Group Inc. (NYSE: SFN) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2010.  

SFN Group president and CEO Roy Krause commented, "I am pleased with our performance in the second quarter.  The Company experienced increased demand across all skills and services.  Adjusted EBITDA improved again this quarter to 2.9% of revenues as volume increases, margin improvements and effective cost management all contributed to the improved operating leverage."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Second quarter 2010 revenues were $514 million compared with $409 million last year.  
  • Earnings from continuing operations in the second quarter were $2.9 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with earnings of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share, in the prior year.  
  • Adjusted earnings from continuing operations (defined below) in the second quarter were $3.5 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with adjusted earnings from continuing operations in the same prior year period of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) in the second quarter was $14.7 million, or 2.9% of revenues, compared with $9.4 million, or 2.3% of revenues, in the prior year.  
  • Total debt was $45.2 million at the end of the second quarter.  Availability under the credit facility was $104.8 million as of the end of the quarter.

Krause continued, "Industry trends continue to be positive and we are optimistic about the second half of 2010 as clients increasingly recognize the value of our services in this uneven economic recovery.  The market opportunity for our business is strong and our strategy is aligned with capitalizing on those opportunities.  We are executing our strategy and continued economic improvement coupled with our operating effectiveness is allowing us to deliver improving financial results, including expanded adjusted EBITDA margins."

SECOND QUARTER OPERATING PERFORMANCE

In the second quarter, Professional Services revenues were up 36.7% compared with the same prior year period.  Professional Services represented 48.7% of total Company revenues and experienced increases due to the first quarter Tatum LLC acquisition and growth in all skills and services.  Gross profit margin of 25.6% is down 50 basis points from the same period last year, but up significantly from the first quarter 2010.  Segment operating profit was $8.6 million in the second quarter or 3.5% of revenues, compared with $7.6 million or 4.2% in the prior year.  

Staffing Services revenues increased 16.6% year over year in the second quarter compared with the same period last year.  Gross profit increased 17.3% and gross profit margins were about flat compared with last year at 15.7% of revenues.  SG&A increased modestly compared with the prior year, allowing segment operating profit to increase to $4.7 million or 1.8% of revenues , compared with a loss of $0.3 million, or (0.1%) of revenues, last year.

OTHER ITEMS

The Company recorded restructuring and other charges during the quarter of $1.0 million ($0.6 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) related to the acquisition of Tatum.    

OUTLOOK

Revenues in the first three weeks of July were approximately $8.4 million per billable day.  Based on these trends, we expect third quarter year over year growth rates to be consistent with growth rates in the second quarter 2010.  We will continue to invest in sales and recruiting staff to take advantage of the improving market and will manage those investments toward a goal of achieving full year 2010 adjusted EBITDA of 2.75% to 3.0%, an improvement from the adjusted full year EBITDA of 2.0% achieved in 2009.

This release contains statements that are forward looking in nature and, accordingly, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause future results to differ from current expectations include risks associated with: Competition – our business operates in highly competitive markets with low barriers to entry and we may be unable to compete successfully against existing or new competitors; Economic conditions – if the current economic downturn continues for a significant period or there is further deterioration in the economy, we could experience lower demand from customers and lower revenues; Government Regulation - government regulation may significantly increase our costs, including payroll-related costs and unemployment taxes; Third-Party Vendor Managers – providing our services through third-party vendor managers may expose us to financial losses; Customers – a loss of customers may result in a material impact on our results of operations; Debt and debt compliance – market conditions and failure to meet certain covenant requirements could impact the amount of availability we may borrow under our revolving lines of credit and the cost of our borrowings; Business strategy – we may not achieve the intended effects of our business strategy; Termination provisions - certain customer contracts contain termination provisions and pricing risks that could decrease revenues, profitability and cash flow; Failure to perform – our failure or inability to perform under customer contracts could result in damage to our reputation and give rise to legal claims; Acquisitions – acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operation and cash flows; Business interruptions – business interruptions could have an adverse affect on our operations; Personnel - our business is dependent upon the availability of qualified personnel and we may lose key personnel which could cause our business to suffer; Tax filings – regulatory challenges to our tax filing positions could result in additional taxes; Litigation – we may be exposed to employment–related claims and costs and we are a defendant in a variety of litigation and other actions from time to time; and International operations – we are subject to business risks associated with our operations in Canada, which could make those operations significantly more costly.  These and additional factors discussed in this release and in SFN's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from any projections contained in this release.

SFN Group Inc. prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).   Adjusted earnings (loss) from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes certain non-operating related items.  Items excluded from the calculation of adjusted earnings (loss) from continuing operations include restructuring and other charges related to acquisition transaction and integration expenses and cost reduction initiatives.  Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes interest, restructuring and other charges, taxes, depreciation and amortization from earnings (loss) from continuing operations.  Adjusted earnings (loss) and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are key measures used by management to evaluate its operations.  Adjusted earnings (loss) and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should not be considered measures of financial performance in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings (loss) from continuing operations or net earnings (loss) as determined in the Statement of Operations in accordance with GAAP, and, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
