(NNM: RCMT) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003. The Company announced revenues of $206.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, up from $186.7 million for the prior year. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $2.8 million, or $.26 per share, as compared to net loss of $24.1 million, or $2.28 per share, for the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2003, earnings before interest income, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, income taxes, other non-operating income and expense, litigation charge, impairment of goodwill, and compensation expense for stock tender offer (Adjusted EBITDA) was $12.0 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, as compared to $13.3 million, or $1.26 per share, for the prior year. The Company announced revenues of $45.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003, up from $45.3 million for the same period a year ago. Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2003 was $2.3 million, or $.21 per share, as compared to net loss of $29.4 million, or $2.77 per share, for the same period a year ago. For the three months ended December 31, 2003, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $3.1 million, or $.28 per diluted share, as compared to $2.3 million, or $.19 per share, for the same period a year ago. The Company also announced the previously anticipated conclusion of two major contracts in late 2003 (which accounted for $56.1 million of revenue in 2003). Under these contracts, the Company performed certain of the services and subcontracted to third parties on a "pass through" basis other services recognizing a 1.2% processing fee for the subcontracted services. The portion of these services performed by the Company represented $32.0 million in revenues, and "pass through" subcontracted revenue was $24.1 million, in 2003. The Company has been working to replace the non-subcontracted portion of the lost revenue and remains optimistic about its prospects for 2004 and beyond based on the current level of new projects and proposal activities in the Company's pipeline. Leon Kopyt, Chairman and CEO of RCM, commented: "Although the confluence of positive economic factors combined with prospects for a rebound in technology spending have elevated belief, momentum and expectation towards a recovery, we still have not seen compelling and pervasive evidence of significant new spending across a number of relevant sectors. Nonetheless, we hope to continue the transition back to internal growth from earlier priorities of revenue stabilization and profit preservation."

RCM Technologies, Inc. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) and Cash Provided by Operating Activities As used in this report, Adjusted EBITDA means earnings before interest income, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, income taxes, other non-operating income and expense, litigation charge, impairment of goodwill, and compensation expense for stock tender offer. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, represents a useful measure of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as it reflects our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash and unusual charges or income. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by our creditors in assessing debt covenant compliance. We understand that, although security analysts frequently use Adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of companies, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance, nor as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to both net income (loss) and cash flow provided by operating activities.
