FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FlagshipPDG Announces Fourth Quarter and Annual Results
PITTSBURGH, PA, April 25, 2008 PDG Environmental, Inc. (dba FlagshipPDG) (OTC BB: PDGE), a leading provider of environmental remediation, disaster response and reconstruction services, today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and twelve months ended January 31, 2008.
Revenue for the quarter was $22.1 million, up 35.0% from the $16.4 million reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Field margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $6.4 million or 28.8% of revenue as compared to field margin of $3.6 million or 22% of revenue in the prior year fiscal quarter. The company reported a net after-tax loss of $(0.7) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with a net loss of $(1.8) million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The loss for the current quarter was largely due to a contract claim adjustment of $500,000 impacting the revenue and ultimately the pre-tax income of the Company for this quarter. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was a positive $0.2 million for the current quarter versus a negative $(2.6) million for the comparable period in fiscal 2007. SG&A and other direct costs as a percent of revenue decreased to 29.8% for the current quarter as compared to 39.8% for the comparable quarter last year. SG&A costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 were $0.3 million higher than the prior year due to higher variable sales costs driven by the higher revenue for the current quarter. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, FlagshipPDG recorded non-cash accounting costs of $0.2 million related to its July 2005 private placement. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 also included $0.2 million in one-time charges related to employee fraud. Average shares outstanding for the quarter rose to 20.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 from 19.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
For the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, revenue rose to $97.1 million, up 29.5% versus the $75.0 million recorded during the same period in the prior fiscal year. FlagshipPDG reported net after-tax loss of $(0.9) million for the twelve month period, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $(7.2) million, or $(0.36) per share, last year. EBITDA improved to $3.0 million from a negative $(4.9) million last year. SG&A and other direct costs as a percent of revenue decreased to 25.0% for the current twelve month period as compared to 33.1% for the comparable period last year. SG&A costs increased $0.5 million from prior year due to higher variable selling and incentive costs, higher legal costs, and initial SOX implementation costs. The non-cash accounting cost of the July 2005 private placement totaled $0.9 million in fiscal 2008 versus $2.1 million in fiscal 2007, the decrease was a result of no conversions of preferred stock in fiscal 2008. Fiscal 2007 included $0.9 million in one-time charges related to employee fraud. Average shares outstanding rose to 20.7 million from 19.8 million in fiscal 2007.
“We are very pleased with the top line growth and the level of field margin we were able to attain this quarter, which is typically a slow time of year for FlagshipPDG. We are disappointed with our bottom line results for this fiscal year which were adversely impacted by a loss on a single project performed in the third quarter and a negative claim adjustment this quarter. Our backlog continues to be strong, exceeding $56 million, and we are focused on improving our bottom line results going forward. The rebranding initiative announced in mid-March

 


 

has been extremely well received and we look forward to the benefits that a consistent message will have on our business development efforts,” said John C. Regan, chairman and chief executive officer of FlagshipPDG.

The company makes use of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as a financial measure which it believes is a useful performance indicator. EBITDA is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP,” and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or net cash provided by operating activities, which are GAAP measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income/(loss) appears at the end of this release, as do both actual results for the quarter and year-to-date periods.
