FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.,
February 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SFN
Group, Inc. (NYSE: SFN) today announced financial results for the
fourth quarter ended December 26,
2010.
SFN Group President and CEO Roy
Krause commented, "Our fourth quarter and full year results
reflect solid execution of our strategy and disciplined operational
management. We took advantage of improving industry trends to
grow revenue, particularly within Professional Services, improve
EBITDA margins to 3.0% for the full year and generate significant
operating cash flow. I would like to thank our associates for
delivering strong results in 2010."
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Fourth quarter 2010 revenues were $549
million compared with $456
million last year, an increase of 20.5%.
- Earnings from continuing operations in the fourth quarter were
$9.4 million, or $0.17 per share on a diluted basis, compared with
breakeven results in the prior year.
- Adjusted earnings from continuing operations (defined below) in
the fourth quarter were $9.4 million,
or $0.17 per share, compared with
adjusted earnings from continuing operations in the same prior-year
period of $3.2 million, or
$0.06 per share.
- Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) in the fourth quarter was
$24.3 million, or 4.4% of revenues,
compared with $14.8 million, or 3.2%
of revenues, in the prior year.
- In 2010, revenues were $2.1
billion for the full year compared with $1.7 billion in 2009. Adjusted EBITDA
increased to $62.5 million, or 3.0%
of revenue, for the 12 month period in 2010, compared with
$34.0 million, or 2.0% of revenue,
for the same period in 2009.
- Operating cash flow in the fourth quarter was $46.5 million and total debt was $5.0 million at the end of the period.
Availability under the credit facility was $157.6 million as of the end of the quarter.
Krause continued, "Longer-term industry dynamics are positive,
and we are positioned well for continued growth. In the
second half of 2010, we made operating investments in sales and
recruiting staff to further organic growth. Additionally, in
the fourth quarter, we repaid the balance on our revolver with our
strong cash flow. Future investments will be focused on
expanding our presence in key Professional Services areas and share
repurchases, as appropriate."
FOURTH QUARTER OPERATING PERFORMANCE
In the fourth quarter, Professional Services revenues were up
28.8% compared with the same prior-year period. Professional
Services represented 46.3% of total Company revenues and
experienced increases due to the first quarter Tatum LLC
acquisition and continued year-over-year growth in all skills and
services. Gross profit margin of 28.2% is up 350 basis points
from the same period last year, primarily a result of increased
pay/bill spreads, growth in higher-margin outsourcing and permanent
placement services and lower payroll taxes. Segment operating
profit was $14.4 million in the
fourth quarter, or 5.6% of revenues, compared with $9.3 million or 4.7% in the prior year.
Staffing Services revenues increased 14.2% year over year in the
fourth quarter compared with the same period last year. Gross
profit margins increased 50 basis points compared with last year,
primarily as a result of increased pay/bill spreads. SG&A
expenses were $41.1 million or 14% of
revenue in 2010, a 110 basis point improvement from the same period
last year. Segment operating profit increased to $8.7 million or 3.0% of revenues, compared with
$3.4 million or 1.3% of revenues in
the fourth quarter of last year.
SHARE REPURCHASES
During the fourth quarter, the Company purchased approximately
500,000 shares at an average price of $9.69 per share. Under its existing
authorization, the Company may purchase up to an average of 50,000
shares per week or 2.6 million shares on an annual basis.
OUTLOOK
Revenue trends in the first four weeks of January 2011 are consistent with normal seasonal
pullback in revenues in the first quarter of approximately 5% to 8%
compared with the fourth quarter of 2010. Based on continued
improvements in industry trends and anticipated growth in our
business, we expect to further improve our operating leverage and
increase our adjusted EBITDA margin by 50 to 90 basis points over
the course of the year, generating a full-year adjusted EBITDA
margin of between 3.5% and 3.9% of revenue in 2011.

This release contains statements that are forward looking in
nature, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, as amended, 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 – significant economic downturns could result in 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, or the deterioration in the financial condition of
customers, may have 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 and related integration activities
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operation and cash flows; Business interruptions –
business interruptions could have an adverse effect 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; Workers' compensation insurance –
unexpected changes in claim trends or regulations could result in
significant increased costs; 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 from continuing operations is a non-GAAP
financial measure, which excludes certain non-operating related
items. Items excluded from the calculation of adjusted
earnings from continuing operations include restructuring and other
charges related to acquisition transaction and integration expenses
and cost reduction initiatives and impairment of goodwill and other
intangibles. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a
non-GAAP financial measure which excludes interest, impairment of
goodwill and other intangibles, restructuring and other charges,
taxes, depreciation and amortization from earnings (loss) from
continuing operations. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA
from continuing operations are key measures used by management to
evaluate its operations. Adjusted earnings 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.
