Volt Information Sciences Reports Fiscal 2017 Second Quarter
Financial Results

NEW YORK, NY, June 9, 2017 – Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (“Volt” or “the Company”) (NYSE-MKT: VISI), an international provider of staffing services and technology outsourcing services, today reported results for its fiscal 2017 second quarter ended April 30, 2017. Key highlights include:
       
·
Net revenue of $303.0 million, down 9.7% or $32.6 million year-over-year; on a same store basis, excluding net revenue contributed from businesses sold or exited during the past year and the effect of currency fluctuations, net revenue declined 5.6% year-over-year
         
·
Second quarter gross margin percentage of 15.6% increased 30 basis points year-over-year
         
·
Net loss of $0.9 million down from a net loss of $1.8 million in the prior year
 
·
Completed the sale of Maintech, Inc., a non-core business, for a purchase price of $18.3 million
 
·
Received IRS federal income tax refund of $13.8 million
 
·
Deployed new information technology systems enterprise-wide in North America to improve time to market and enhance competitiveness in sales delivery to support future growth

Commenting on Volt’s second quarter performance, Michael Dean, President and CEO, said, “Volt had a productive second quarter, with progress in several key aspects of our business. I am pleased with our ongoing efforts to strengthen our balance sheet as evidenced by further reductions in total debt and improvements in our liquidity position. During the quarter, we completed the previously announced sale of our last remaining non-core business, Maintech, and also received payment from the IRS on our long-standing tax refund. We also continue to benefit from our ongoing focus on higher margin business with second quarter gross margins expanding on both a sequential quarter and year-over-year basis. In addition, we expect to improve our competitive position and operational efficiencies with new information technology that we successfully deployed in the quarter.”

Mr. Dean continued, “While the completion of large projects with several customers impacted second quarter revenue growth, we added to our book of business with important new client relationships established in the quarter, and grew our pipeline of new opportunities as we look ahead to the second half of fiscal 2017. Based on our steady progress, I remain highly confident in our ability to return Volt to sustained profitable growth.”

Fiscal 2017 Second Quarter Results
Total revenue for the fiscal 2017 second quarter was $303.0 million, down $32.6 million, or 9.7%, compared to $335.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. On a same store basis, excluding net revenue contributed from businesses sold or exited during the past year and the effect of currency fluctuations, net revenue declined 5.6% year-over-year.

Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
The Company has provided certain Non-GAAP financial information, which includes adjustments for special items and certain line items on a constant currency basis, as additional information for its segment revenue, consolidated net income (loss), segment operating income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA.  These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and may be different from Non-GAAP measures reported by other companies.

The Company believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP measures on a constant currency basis and eliminating special items provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because they permit evaluation of the results of the Company without the effect of currency fluctuations or special items that management believes make it more difficult to understand and evaluate the Company’s results of operations. Special items include impairments, restructuring and severance as well as certain income or expenses not indicative of the Company’s current or future period performance and are more fully disclosed in the tables.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense as well as the special items described above.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure rather than a cash flow measure.  The Company believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management.
 
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Company’s results of operations and operating cash flows as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA: does not reflect capital expenditures or contractual commitments; does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service the interest payments, on the Company’s debt; and does not reflect cash required to pay income taxes.
 
The Company’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because all companies do not calculate these measures in the same fashion.
