RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2019 RESULTS

Pennsauken, NJ – March 4, 2020 -- RCM Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGM: RCMT), a premier provider of business and technology solutions designed to enhance and maximize the operational performance of its customers through the adaptation and deployment of advanced engineering, specialty health care and information technology services, today announced financial results for the thirteen and fifty-two week periods ended December 28, 2019.

RCM Technologies reported revenue of $48.6 million for the thirteen week period ended December 28, 2019 (the current period), a 12.2% decrease as compared to $55.3 million for the thirteen week period ended December 29, 2018 (the comparable prior year period). Gross profit was $12.7 million for the current period, a 2.9% decrease as compared to $13.0 million for the comparable prior year period.  The Company experienced GAAP operating income of $2.0 million for the current period, as compared to $1.6 million for the comparable prior year period.  GAAP net income was $1.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the current period as compared to $0.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

RCM Technologies reported revenue of $191.1 million for the fifty-two week period ended December 28, 2019 (the current period), a 4.6% decrease as compared to $200.4 million for the fifty-two week period ended December 29, 2018 (the comparable prior year period). Gross profit was $48.6 million for the current period, a 1.5% decrease as compared to $49.3 million for the comparable prior year period.  The Company experienced GAAP operating income of $6.6 million for the current period, as compared to $5.4 million for the comparable prior year period.  GAAP net income was $4.1 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the current period as compared to $2.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

The Company had adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $2.4 million for the thirteen week period ended December 28, 2019, a 4.8% decrease as compared to $2.6 million for the comparable prior year period.  The Company had adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $8.2 million for the fifty-two week period ended December 29, 2018, a 8.1% decrease as compared to $8.9 million for the comparable prior year period.  A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to EBITDA (non-GAAP) and net income (GAAP) can be found on the fourth page of this press release.

Bradley Vizi, Executive Chairman of RCM Technologies, commented, “Our Specialty Healthcare Group had a strong 2019, setting the stage to deliver what we anticipate will be another record year in 2020. Our Information Technology group delivered profitable growth in 2019 while making investments to position the business for long-term success. While we are disappointed with the performance of Engineering, we believe we have repositioned the business to begin to deliver sustainable growth in fiscal 2020 and beyond. In particular, our strategy of focusing on major utilities and OEMs that have one billion dollar plus capital spending budgets in growing markets is starting to bear fruit.”




Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, added, “We expect cash flow from operations to exceed $10 million in fiscal 2020. We believe we will materially deleverage the business in 2020, especially in the first half. We are already making good progress in the first quarter.”

Conference Call
On Thursday, March 5, 2020, RCM Technologies will host a conference call to discuss these results. The call will begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.  The dial-in number is (866) 403-9129.

RCM Technologies, Inc.
Supplemental Operating Results on a Non-GAAP Basis
(Unaudited)
(In Thousands)

The following non-GAAP data, which adjusts for the categories of expenses described below, is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Our management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful information for investors, shareholders and other stakeholders of our Company in gauging our results of operations on an ongoing basis.  We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures and have provided a reconciliation between net income and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.  Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of performance.  In addition, neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA takes into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows.  We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following unaudited table presents the Company's GAAP net income measure and the corresponding adjustments used to calculate “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA” for the thirteen and fifty-two week periods ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018.
