DRC Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results

Margin Expansion Drives Double-Digit Earnings Growth

ANDOVER, Mass., July 28, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dynamics Research Corporation (Nasdaq:DRCO), a leading provider of innovative management consulting, engineering, technical and information technology services and solutions to federal and state governments, today announced operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Financial Results

The Company reported income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2010 of $2.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, up 18.6 percent from $2.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009. Revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $65.3 million compared with $68.1 million for the same period in 2009. Excluding the expiration of restricted 8(a) contracts assumed with the Kadix acquisition in 2008, second quarter 2010 revenue for the Federal business was down 0.8% compared with the same period a year ago. 

For the six month period ended June 30, 2010 income from continuing operations was $5.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared with $4.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 revenue was $133.9 million compared with $135.3 million for the same period in 2009. Excluding the expiration of restricted 8(a) contracts assumed with the Kadix acquisition in 2008, revenue for the Federal business during the six month period rose 3.4% compared with the same period a year ago.

Business Highlights

"We remain well positioned in growth sectors of the Federal market and are aggressively pursuing new business in these target markets, as evidenced by $63 million in new business contract awards for the first half of the year and $377 million in submitted new business bids awaiting award – a record for DRC. Although top line growth is lower than we had anticipated primarily due to insourcing and a delay in contract awards, the prospects for accelerated revenue growth are strong. We also are pleased with the nearly one-and-a-half points of operating margin expansion reported this quarter versus a year ago," said Jim Regan, DRC's chairman and chief executive officer. "We continued to generate solid positive cash flow, as our federal business receivables days outstanding dropped to 65, down another three days from the first quarter of 2010." 

In other matters the Company reported the sale of the Metrigraphics unit effective July 19, 2010, which was classified as a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes as of December 31, 2009. The financial effect of the sale is reflected in second quarter 2010 operating results.

Also, the Company noted that an agreement in principle had been reached regarding an outstanding Fair Labor Standards Act claim, the effect of which was accrued on the Company's June 30, 2010 balance sheet. 

Company Guidance

The Company's estimate for revenue for 2010 is in the range of $271 to $278 million. Regarding earnings from continuing operations for 2010, the Company anticipates results to be in the range of $1.18 to $1.24 per diluted share.  For the third quarter of 2010 the Company anticipates revenue in the range of $67 to $69 million and earnings from continuing operations per diluted share of $0.27 to $0.30.
