  1. March 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PRGX Global, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRGX), a global leader in Recovery Audit and Spend Analytics services, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017.

“We are pleased to report a strong finish for 2017, with fourth quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations growing 17% and 41%, respectively, on a year-over-year, constant dollar basis. These results mark our sixth consecutive quarter of revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth. For the year, we grew revenue by over 14% and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations by over 25% on a year-over-year, constant dollar basis, with each service line and region showing revenue growth on a constant dollar basis. Cash flow from operations in 2017 exceeded $13 million, an increase of over 30% compared to the prior year,” said Ron Stewart, president and chief executive officer.

“Four years ago, we laid out a strategy to refocus on our core recovery audit business and invest in people, processes and technology to drive growth and extend our client value proposition. Our 2017 performance confirms that we are making significant progress in our transformation journey, delivering meaningful, sustainable and more predictable growth,” continued Stewart.

“Looking ahead, we believe our ability to generate meaningful operating cash flow, coupled with our increasing financial strength and flexibility, positions us to continue growing in 2018 and beyond. For 2018, we are projecting continued growth, including year-over-year revenue growth in the range of 8% to 10% and adjusted EBITDA growth in the range of 17% to 22%,” concluded Stewart.

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017

  1. revenue from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $47.1 million, compared to $39.2 million for the same period last year, an increase of 20.2%. Fourth quarter 2017 revenue from the Recovery Audit Services segments was $46.4 million compared to $38.1 million in the prior year, and from the Adjacent Services segment was $0.7 million compared to $1.1 million in 2016. On a constant dollar basis adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, revenue increased by 17.0% in the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year. On a constant dollar basis, revenue from the Recovery Audit Services segments increased 18.7% in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Total cost of revenue from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $26.7 million, or 56.8% of revenue, compared to $23.9 million, or 60.9% of revenue, in the same period last year, representing a 4.1 % improvement as a percentage of revenue.

  1. expenses from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2017 were $12.8 million, compared to $11.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to operating costs associated with the Cost & Compliance Associates (“C&CA”) acquired business that was not in the prior year and incentive-based compensation expense.

Consolidated net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $5.7 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2016. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by the increase in revenue and improvement in cost of revenue and a $2.3 million acquisition-related income item resulting from an earn-out adjustment.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $9.3 million, or 19.8% of revenue, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $6.3 million, or 16.2% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of $3.0 million or 46.8%. Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to each of EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2017

  1. revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $161.6 million, compared to $140.8 million in 2016, an increase of 14.8%. On a constant dollar basis adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, revenue increased by 14.1% in the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the prior year. On a constant dollar basis, revenue from the Recovery Audit Services segments increased 14.2% in the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016. Revenue from the Adjacent Services segment increased 11.5% on a constant dollar basis for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior year.

Total cost of revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $102.1 million, or 63.1% of revenue, compared to $91.3 million, or 64.8% of revenue, in 2016, an improvement of 1.7% as a percentage of revenue.

  1. expenses from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $46.9 million, compared to $39.4 million in the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to operating costs associated with the Lavante and C&CA acquired businesses that were not in the prior year and an increase in our stock-based compensation. The increase was partially offset by other cost reductions.

Consolidated net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $4.6 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $21.3 million, or 13.2% of revenue, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $16.6 million, or 11.8% of revenue, for the prior year, an increase of $4.8 million or 28.6%. Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to each of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $10.0 million, compared to $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year, and $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $10.1 million in in the prior year.

At December 31, 2017, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $18.8 million, and borrowings of $13.6 million against its $35.0 million revolving credit facility.

Forward-Looking Statements

  1. addition to historical information, this press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include both implied and express statements regarding the Company's overall condition and growth prospects, the Company's execution of its business strategy, the sustainability and predictability of the Company’s growth, and the Company's expectations regarding its 2018 financial performance. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from the historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that could affect the Company's future performance include revenue that does not meet expectations or justify costs incurred, the Company's ability to develop material sources of new revenue in addition to revenue from its core recovery audit services, changes in the market for the Company's services, the Company's ability to retain and attract qualified personnel, the Company's ability to integrate recent and future acquisitions, uncertainty in the credit markets, the Company's ability to maintain compliance with its financial covenants, client bankruptcies, loss of major clients, and other risks generally applicable to the Company's business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are all "non-GAAP financial measures" presented as supplemental measures of the Company's performance. They are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The Company believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating its performance over time, and that the rating agencies and a number of lenders use EBITDA and similar measures for similar purposes. In addition, a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is used in the restrictive covenants contained in the Company's secured credit facility. However, EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, as described above, the adjustments may vary from period to period and in the future the Company will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. The Company's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Schedule 3 to this press release provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to each of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
