EX-99.3 3 ex993eg.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED MAY 29, 2003 Exhibit 99.3 HALIFAX ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL 2003 FINANCIAL RESULTS Company Reports Net Income Growth of 115% for the Year ALEXANDRIA, VA - May 29, 2003 - Halifax Corporation (AMEX:HX) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. For the year, revenues were $50.4 million versus $49.4 million for fiscal 2002, an increase of 2%. Revenues increased despite a reduction in hardware sales as the Company continued its migration to a services- driven model. The Company reported operating income of $1.3 million for fiscal 2003 compared to $987,000 for the previous year. Net income rose 115% to $648,000, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share, for fiscal 2003 compared to $302,000, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, for the prior year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, revenues were $11.0 million versus $13.6 million for the comparable period in 2002, a decrease of 19%. The revenue decrease was due to reductions in hardware orders principally from governmental customers and reflective of the Company's strategy to shift to a model composed primarily of higher-margin services. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, was $164,000, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, versus $115,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable quarter of 2002. Charles McNew, president and chief executive officer, stated, "Fiscal 2003 was another successful year for our Company. Despite a difficult economic environment, we continued to build upon our position as a leader in Enterprise Maintenance Solutions. Once again, we have increased revenues and improved profitability, and we also reduced our bank debt by $1.5 million." He added, "For the coming year, we'll continue to position Halifax as a leader in Enterprise Maintenance Solutions. Our plan to become the `Outsourcer's Outsourcer' is resonating with the global service provider community, and we've built our customer base to include such prestigious clients as IBM Global Services and Hewlett-Packard. In addition, we are providing direct services for the Department of Defense, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Virginia Department of Transportation. "Our goals for fiscal 2004 include working to grow these Enterprise Maintenance Solutions accounts and add new customers; add new partner relationships; and continue to build our federal and state government business," noted McNew. "We plan to increase revenues and profitability for the year, and we hope to see continued gross profit margin improvement as we build our service delivery capabilities. Additionally, we are reviewing selective acquisition possibilities that would accelerate growth for our Enterprise Maintenance Solutions platform." He concluded, "We continue to believe our Company is well positioned to grow in today's market while we continue to pursue our long-term objective of market leadership in our chosen niches."
