MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (Marketwired) -- 08/12/13 -- Analysts International Corporation (AIC) (NASDAQ: ANLY), an information technology services company, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2013, which ended on June 29, 2013.
- Revenue for the quarter was $25.7 million, compared with $27.1 million in Q2 2012 and $24.6 million in Q1 2013
- Gross profit margin was 22.6%, compared with 23.1% in Q2 2012 and 22.7% in Q1 2013
- Total operating costs were $5.3 million, compared with $5.7 million in Q2 2012 and $5.3 million in Q1 2013
- Net income was $0.5 million, or $0.10 per share, for both the 2013 and 2012 second quarters and $0.2 million, or $0.04 per share, in Q1 2013
- Net income for the first six months of 2013 totaled $748,000, or $0.15 per share, up from $731,000, or $0.14 per share, for the first six months of 2012
- The Company generated $0.9 million in operating cash flow and ended the quarter with $6.5 million in cash and no amounts outstanding under its credit facility
"As anticipated, second quarter revenue was up from Q1, and we continue to grow net income and cash.

"We remain confident in our strategic account-focused strategy and our ability to deliver high value to clients, built around the specific technology skill sets they need."
2013 Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Review
Second quarter revenue increased $1.2 million, or 4.8%, from the first quarter 2013 revenue and decreased $1.3 million, or 4.9%, from the second quarter of 2012. When compared to the prior year quarter, the decrease in revenue is due to a 4.8% decrease in the number of hours billed, which was partially offset by a 0.3% increase in average billing rates. For the first half of 2013, revenue decreased $3.5 million, or 6.5%, to $50.3 million. When compared to the first half of fiscal 2012, billable hours decreased 6.7%, which was partially offset by a 1.1% increase in average billing rates. There were 64 billing days in the second quarter of both fiscal years 2013 and 2012 and 128 billing days in the first half of both 2013 and 2012.
Year over year, revenue was negatively impacted by the continued attrition in markets the Company previously exited and the loss of one major account in late 2012, as discussed in prior quarters. These two factors resulted in a combined negative revenue impact of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.9 million for the first half of fiscal 2013.
In the second quarter of 2013, gross profit was $5.8 million, or 22.6% of revenue, compared to $6.3 million, or 23.1% of revenue in the second quarter of 2012. In the first half of 2013, gross profit was $11.4 million, or 22.6% of revenue, compared to $12.6 million, or 23.5% of revenue, in the first half of fiscal 2012. The decrease in second quarter and first half of 2013 gross profit rate is primarily due to changes in revenue mix compared to the prior year periods.
Total operating expenses were $5.3 million, or 20.5% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $5.7 million, or 21.1% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2012. For the first half of fiscal 2013, operating expenses were $10.6 million, or 21.1% of revenue, compared to $11.9 million, or 22.1% of revenue, for the first half of fiscal 2012. The decrease in operating expense for both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2013 was primarily the result of lower sales and recruiting expenses.
In the second quarter of 2013, the Company generated EBITDA of $0.7 million, flat with EBITDA of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2012. EBITDA for the first half of 2013 totaled $1.1 million, even with $1.1 million for the first half of 2012.
The Company generated $0.9 million in positive cash flow from operations during the second quarter of 2013, and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $6.5 million and no borrowings from its $15 million credit facility. Additionally, DSO decreased from 61 days in the first quarter of 2013 to 58 days in the second quarter.
Update on Key Operating Objectives
The Company has previously discussed four key objectives for 2013: growing strategic accounts, building AIC's talent community, focusing on application-based specialties and increasing personal accountability and a team-based approach. Following is an update on the progress against those objectives as well as other operational details through the second quarter.
Strategic Accounts:
The Company remains committed to its strategic account focus. Second quarter revenue from strategic accounts grew 14% year over year with over half of the Company's strategic accounts achieving double digit revenue growth. The Company is directing its sales focus and investments to the greatest opportunities for growth, which today is within these existing accounts.
To support the Company's growth efforts, the Company continues to refine its sales and recruiting model, including expanding its team-based approach in top growth accounts and building a more scalable, cost-effective recruiting model. In addition, the Company intends to increase its prospecting efforts to expand its client portfolio and reduce its concentration risk.
Talent Communities:
In order to grow, the Company also needs to attract and retain the talent necessary to meet client demand and compete for talent in a challenging labor market that remains tight, with overall IT unemployment around 3%. In addition to providing competitive pay and benefits, the Company believes that it must differentiate to be an employer of choice. The Company is therefore developing and expanding its online talent communities, which are focused on providing best practices, training materials, collaboration forums and other pertinent content to support its consultants in the field.
The Company's consultant attrition rate has continued to steadily decline. The biggest change in consultant attrition in 2013 has been a decrease in client hires and fewer consultants leaving before assignment end dates to pursue other opportunities. The Company is executing a number of programs and actions geared toward helping retain its consultants.
Application-Based Specialties:
The Company's third objective is to focus on those specific, high-growth areas where it can leverage its existing strengths, skill sets and momentum, including areas such as enterprise information management (EIM), project management and the health care industry. In Q2, the Company achieved its highest quarterly revenue from project management related engagements in five quarters and continues to increase its talent network of qualified project managers.
The Company is also making progress on positioning itself in the enterprise information management and health care spaces. The Company recently signed a master services agreement with a marquee health care account that will provide the Company with incremental long-term revenue opportunities.
Personal Accountability and Team-Based Approach:
The Company continues to change its culture from transaction-based, individual efforts to collaborative teams with a strategic account focus. The Company believes these efforts are a key contributing factor to the growth it has seen in its strategic accounts.

* Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating the Company's business, the Company's management considers and uses EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. EBITDA refers to a financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes and depreciation that are not related to the Company's operations. This measure is an essential component of the Company's internal planning process because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of the Company's operating performance by eliminating potential differences in net income caused by the existence and timing of certain non-cash items, special charges and other gains and losses. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
