TeamStaff Reports First Quarter Results
Continues to invest in strategic plan for government services business
SOMERSET, N.J., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TeamStaff, Inc., (Nasdaq: TSTF) a leading healthcare and logistical staffing provider serving the Federal Government, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009. As a result of the previously disclosed sale of TeamStaff Rx, which was completed on January 4, 2010, all results reported in this release have been reclassified to show TeamStaff Rx as a discontinued operation.
TeamStaff's revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $10.8 million as compared to $12.0 million in the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in revenues from the prior year is due primarily to government in-sourcing of selected positions under our existing contracts and overtime restrictions at certain Government facilities. Loss from continuing operations was $0.7 million or ($0.13) per basic share compared to income from continuing operations of $0.6 million or $0.12 per basic share in the comparable quarter last year. The loss this quarter includes $0.4 million in costs associated with the development and implementation of the Company's revised government services business strategic plan.
Commenting on the Company's results, TeamStaff's Chairman of the Board Rick Wasserman stated, "The first quarter of fiscal 2010 was a time of change and transition for TeamStaff. We divested the TeamStaff Rx non-government healthcare staffing business and increased our focus on the development of a new government services initiative for TeamStaff Government Solutions. As announced last week, the Company named Zachary C. Parker as its new Chief Executive Officer to implement a new strategic plan for the government services business. Zach's combination of experience in the government services sector and his strong background in new business development will be integral to our future growth."
Further commenting, TeamStaff's Acting President and Chief Financial Officer Cheryl Presuto stated, "Despite the costs associated with the recent changes at the Company, TeamStaff GS posted EBITDA of $0.4 million on a stand-alone, fully allocated basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. While this represents a decrease as compared to EBITDA of $1.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we are encouraged by this subsidiary's results in the current economic climate. As previously mentioned, our gross margins have been adversely impacted as the government continues its restriction on overtime and we incur increases in various costs of sales such as vacation, health insurance and workers' compensation."
TeamStaff's gross profit was $1.4 million, or 12.6% of revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to $2.1 million, or 17.7% of revenues, for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Several factors are impacting the decline in gross margin. As a result of current economic conditions, the Company is experiencing lower employee turnover rates than last year, resulting in increased vacation accruals for over 750 contract employees at certain government facilities. The previously mentioned overtime restrictions imposed by these facilities affects gross profit as overtime earns a higher profit percentage than regular hours. The Company also experienced adverse workers' compensation experience in the current quarter and continues to work with a risk control consultant in an effort to mitigate claims in the future.
SG&A expenses and officer severance for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The Company incurred $0.4 million in costs associated with the development of its government services business strategic plan, including severance for the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, management consulting fees related to the strategic business review and fees related to the search for a new CEO. The Company continues to invest in new business development at TeamStaff GS, incurring $0.1 million in increased new business expense over the comparable period last year for additional sales related headcount and marketing expense at TeamStaff GS. To offset this spending, the Company continues with its cost saving initiatives, which have resulted in reduced headcount in non-revenue generating departments and G&A costs. The Company seeks continued elimination of overhead costs deemed to be non-essential to growth or infrastructure.
The Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations related to the sale of TeamStaff Rx for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of $1.1 million or ($0.23) per basic share. Included with the operating loss of the discontinued business for the quarter is accrued severance of $0.1 million, $0.3 million from recognition of the remaining unfunded operating lease payments, and $0.3 million in various accruals for expenses related to the sale and shut down of the business.
At December 31, 2009, the Company had $1.7 million in cash and $1.6 million in availability under its credit facility. The initial proceeds of $375,000 from the sale of TeamStaff Rx were received on January 4, 2010. The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity resources to fund operations over the next twelve months.

(1) The Company reports financial results on a consolidated basis but
has elected to present separately the data relating to the
performance of each of its reporting units on a stand-alone basis
to allow for a better understanding of the overall performance of
the Company's business. Management believes that this information
provides greater insight into our Company's underlying operating
performance that facilitates a more meaningful comparison of its
financial results in different reporting periods.
(2) Expenses related to TeamStaff Inc. on a stand alone basis include
the costs associated with being a publicly traded company, general
corporate expenses and certain direct expenses of the TeamStaff GS
business.
(3) EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as earnings before
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Items
excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding
and assessing financial performance. Management presents EBITDA
because it believes that EBITDA is a useful supplement to net
(loss) income as an indicator of operating performance. The Company
believes it is useful for management to review both GAAP information
and non-GAAP financial measures to have a better understanding of
the overall performance of the Company's business and trends relating
to its financial condition and results of operations. Management
believes that this information provides greater insight into our
Company's underlying operating performance that facilitates a more
meaningful comparison of its financial results in different
reporting periods.
