ANDOVER, Mass., July 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dynamics Research Corporation (Nasdaq:DRCO), a leading provider of innovative management consulting, engineering, science and information technology services and solutions to federal and state governments, today announced preliminary operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. The preliminary results are subject to change based upon the conclusion of impairment testing being undertaken by the Company. Preliminary Financial Results
The Company reported preliminary net income for the second quarter of 2012 of $1.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, versus $2.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011, excluding transaction costs of $2.2 million. Preliminary earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the second quarter of 2012 was $7.1 million, or 8.7 percent of revenue, up 14 percent from $6.2 million, or 9.1 percent of revenue, for the second quarter a year ago. Revenue for the second quarter of 2012 of $80.8 million was $12.3 million higher than $68.5 million for the same period in 2011 as a result of the merger with High Performance Technologies, Inc. on June 30, 2011.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, preliminary net income was $3.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with $5.4 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the same period in 2011, excluding the second quarter 2011 transaction costs of $2.2 million. Preliminary EBITDA for the first six months of 2012 was $14.9 million, or 8.9 percent of revenue, up 22 percent from $12.3 million, or 8.9 percent of revenue, for the same period a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, revenue of $166.7 million was $28.7 million higher than $138.0 million for the same period in 2011 as a result of the merger with High Performance Technologies, Inc. on June 30, 2011.
As noted in the Company's most recent quarterly report filed with the SEC, the Company experienced in the second quarter of 2012 a significant decline in the market price of the Company's common stock, which has elevated the risk of goodwill impairment. The Company's step one goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2012 presently is not complete. As a result, the Company has not reached a conclusion as to whether goodwill, which had a book value of $212 million as of March 31, 2012, is impaired and for this reason the Company's results are preliminary. Prior to filing its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2012, the Company expects to complete the step one impairment test and estimate the range of impairment, if any. The Company's evaluation could result in a non-cash impairment charge for a substantial portion of the $212 million book value of goodwill for the second quarter of 2012.
In the event an impairment charge is recorded, the Company's net income would be negatively affected, although revenue and cash flow from operations would not be impacted. The Company expects to conclude its evaluation of goodwill impairment during the third quarter of 2012. Business Highlights
"Federal government cost management actions, which are effecting award decisions, continue to impact our operating results and outlook for the year," said Jim Regan, DRC's chairman and chief executive officer. "In response to the challenging conditions facing our industry we have been aggressively pursuing new business, pricing competitively and reducing costs.
"Notwithstanding these industry issues we continued to post strong EBITDA margins this quarter and generated free cash flow of $5.6 million, or 7 percent of revenue. We are well positioned in the market and are experiencing an uptick in bidding and proposal activity. The estimated total contract value of our qualified pipeline of new business opportunities now stands at $953 million, up $101 million in just three months, and includes $303 million in bids submitted and awaiting award. We also saw an improvement in new business wins in the second quarter, as well as solid funded bookings, which resulted in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1-to-one. We expect that our differentiated capabilities, combined with strong presence in important growth markets, will enable us to capture our share of opportunities as the pace of award decisions picks up." Company Guidance
The Company's estimate for 2012 full year revenue is in the range of $318 to $326 million. The Company's estimates for 2012 full year earnings, excluding any potential impairment charge, is in the range of at $0.68 to $0.72 per diluted share. For the third quarter of 2012, the Company anticipates revenue in the range of $77 to $79 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.13 to $0.15 excluding the impact of any potential impairment charge. Conference Call
The Company will conduct a second quarter 2012 conference call tomorrow, July 26, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. ET. The call will be available via telephone at 877-303-4382 and accessible via Web cast at www.drc.com.
