Transcat Reports 27.2% Increase in Operating Income on 9.2% Growth in Net Revenue for Third Quarter Fiscal 2010

• Sales to wind energy industry drove quarterly product segment sales growth of 8.5% while sales and order trends also indicate signs of recovery in other industries served

• Sustained double-digit growth in service segment with revenue increase of 10.7%

• Net income increased by 41.2% to $0.5 million

• Significant liquidity: Generated $4.0 million in cash from operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2010

ROCHESTER, NY, January 25, 2010 – Transcat, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNS), a leading global distributor of professional grade handheld test and measurement instruments and accredited provider of calibration, repair services, parts inspection and production model engineering, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2010 ended December 26, 2009.

Net revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $21.8 million, an increase of 9.2% when compared with net revenue of $20.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Service segment net revenue, which represented 30.4% of total net revenue, was up $0.6 million, or 10.7%, to $6.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, when compared with net revenue of $6.0 million in the prior year third quarter. Product segment net sales, representing the Company’s distribution business, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were $15.2 million, up $1.2 million, or 8.5%, when compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year. Service and Product sales to the wind energy industry, which represented 7.3% of total net revenue, helped to drive growth in both segments. There were 61 business days in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, one less than the 62 business days in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

Net income was $0.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, up from net income of $0.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net income was positively impacted by a measurably reduced operating loss in the Company’s service segment.

Charles P. Hadeed, President, CEO and COO of Transcat, commented, “Third quarter orders and revenue provided clearer indications to us that our business, which began to stabilize in the second quarter, has now entered what we believe is a recovery phase, especially in our Product segment. This was the first quarter with quarter-over-quarter product segment growth since last fiscal year’s third quarter. Product segment gross profit margins, however, were comparatively impacted by sustained price pressure and no vendor point-of-sale rebate income. As planned, we continue to see double-digit growth in Service segment revenue although the mix of services in the quarter minimized our ability to fully leverage that growth with even greater margin improvement than realized on the volume.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2010 Review

Gross profit was $4.8 million, or 21.8% of net revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $4.6 million, or 23.2% of net revenue, in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increased gross profit was primarily due to increased gross profit in the Service segment, offset partially by product pricing pressures and lower manufacturer growth-based rebate income which decreased gross profit in the Company’s Product segment.

in Net Revenue for Third Quarter Fiscal 2010
January 25, 2010

Selling, marketing and warehouse expenses decreased 3.0% to $2.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $2.7 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year, an indication of the Company’s continued cost control efforts. Administrative expenses of $1.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were relatively flat with the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $0.8 million, or 3.6% of net revenue, an increase of 27.2% when compared with $0.6 million, or 3.1% of net revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily the result of higher service segment gross profit.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, total other expense decreased 83.8% to $16 thousand, compared with $99 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease was the result of a $34 thousand drop in interest expense due to lower debt levels and a $49 thousand decrease in other expense, primarily due to reductions in foreign currency losses. The Company has a program in place to hedge the majority of its risk to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 37.7%. For the fiscal year, the effective tax rate is expected to be in the 37% to 40% range.

Product and Service Segment Review

Transcat is uniquely positioned to serve the pharmaceutical and FDA-regulated, energy and chemical process industries as well as utilities, industrial manufacturing and other industries through its ability to bundle a broad variety of premium test and measurement instruments with quality calibration services, repair capabilities, parts inspection and production model engineering for its customers through its distribution operations in New York and Oregon and its 12 Calibration Centers of Excellence in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Its automated calibration tracking and management systems, breadth of calibration disciplines and product lines, and its refined product delivery systems enable it to rapidly respond to its customers’ requirements for quick turn-around times, which it believes provides a competitive advantage.

Product Segment

Through its Product segment, Transcat markets and distributes national and proprietary brand instruments to over 13,000 global customers. The Company offers access to more than 25,000 test and measurement instruments. The Product segment primarily uses direct marketing and the Company’s website to market to end-users as well as to resellers.

Product segment net sales increased $1.2 million, or 8.5%, to $15.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $14.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year, with $1.1 million in sales into the wind energy industry being the primary driver of the sales growth. In addition, the Company experienced over a $0.4 million increase in pending product shipments from the end of the second quarter to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and a cumulative increase of $1.2 million since the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company believes that manufacturers’ reaction to increased production was slower than that of the increased demand it has seen in the market.

Average Product segment sales per day were $249 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $226 thousand in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Sales of the Company’s products over its website increased 13.5% to $1.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $1.1 million in the same period the prior fiscal year.

Product segment gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $3.3 million, or 22.0% of net product sales, compared with $3.4 million, or 24.4% of net product sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Gross margin for the Product segment is a function of a number of factors including volume, market channel mix, manufacturers’ rebates, product mix and discounts to customers. The reduction in gross profit and gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to increased price discounting for market share retention in a competitive economic environment and lower vendor point-of-

sale rebates. Vendor point-of-sale rebates are based on product segment sales growth on a year-over-year basis. The Company did not qualify for this type of rebate in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, point-of-sale rebates were $0.1 million.

Product segment operating income was $0.9 million, or 5.8% of net product sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $0.9 million, or 6.6% of net product sales, in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Service Segment

Transcat’s customers purchase calibration services for the purpose of measurably reducing their risk of product or process failures that can be caused by inaccurate measurements. Transcat annually performs more than 140,000 calibrations at its 12 Calibration Centers of Excellence or at its customers’ locations.

Service segment net revenue was $6.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, a $0.6 million or 10.7% increase, compared with $6.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The timing of calibration orders and segment expenses can vary on a quarter-to-quarter basis based on the nature of a customers’ business and calibration requirements. In general, a trailing twelve-month trend provides a better indication of the progress of this segment. Service segment net revenue for the trailing twelve months that ended December 26, 2009 were $25.9 million, up 7.7%, when compared with $24.0 million for the trailing twelve-month period that ended December 27, 2008. Service opportunities in the wind energy industry have helped to offset weakness in the manufacturing and oil and gas industries. Approximately 7.3% of Service segment net revenue was associated with the wind energy industry.

The Company’s strategy has been to focus its capital and marketing investments in the electrical, temperature, pressure and dimensional disciplines. Historically, 15% to 20% of service segment revenue is generated from outsourcing customer equipment to third-party vendors for calibration beyond the Company’s chosen scope of capabilities. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, 73.5% of Service segment revenue was generated by the Company’s staff of technicians while 24.0% was subcontracted to third-party vendors. The increased percentage of work performed by third-party vendors was primarily attributable to specific services provided to the wind energy industry, which fall outside the Company’s current scope of business. The Company will continue to evaluate the need for capital investments that could provide more in-house capabilities for its staff of technicians and reduce the need for third-party vendors in certain instances.

Service segment gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $1.4 million, or 21.4% of Service segment net revenue, up from $1.2 million, or 20.6% of Service segment net revenue, in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Driving this increase was operational leverage inherent in the Service segment as the Company is able to spread the fixed costs of its laboratory operations over higher volume. Organic in-house revenue expansion provides for full leverage potential whereas acquired revenue or growth in third-party vendor calibrations comes with associated cost structure and, although contributing to higher gross profit dollars, does not significantly contribute to margin expansion. Despite the increase in Service segment gross profit, the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2010 service margin expansion was somewhat limited as third-party vendor calibrations contributed a significant portion of the revenue growth.

Service segment operating loss was $0.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an improvement of $0.2 million over last year’s third quarter operating loss.

Nine-Month Review

Net revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $57.5 million, an increase of 1.9% when compared with net revenue of $56.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. The first nine months

of fiscal 2009 included nineteen weeks of operations of Westcon, Inc., which the Company acquired on August 14, 2008.

Product segment net sales were $38.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, down 2.1%, compared with $39.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Sales to wind energy customers in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 accounted for 10.1%, or $3.9 million, of net product sales. Product sales generated over the Company’s website were $3.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, up 15.9%, when compared with $2.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

Service segment net revenue was $19.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, up 11.1%, compared with net revenue of $17.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. Approximately 5.6% was associated with the wind energy industry.

Gross margin was 22.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared with 24.3% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Product segment gross margin was 22.5% and 25.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The year-over-year decrease was a result of aggressive pricing and reduced vendor volume-based rebate income. Service segment gross margin was 21.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared with 20.8% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Higher year-to-date organic service segment revenue drove the margin expansion.

Operating expenses declined $0.2 million to $11.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, when compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year. Year-over-year strategic investments in sales and marketing for the Service segment and wind energy industry were offset by cost control measures and reductions in performance-based management compensation. Included in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 were $0.2 million in one-time integration expenses related to the Company’s acquisition of Westcon, Inc. Operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $1.0 million, or 1.8% of net revenue, compared with $1.7 million, or 3.1% of net revenue, in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

Total other expense was $73 thousand in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, an improvement of 47.1%, when compared with $138 thousand in the prior year period. The decrease was the result of lower interest expense and reduced foreign currency losses.

Net income was $0.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared with $1.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Management

Net cash generated from operations was $4.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared with $1.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The incremental cash was used to repay long-term debt which decreased to $2.0 million at December 26, 2009, compared with $3.6 million at March 28, 2009. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company used $0.6 million for the repurchase of 143,000 shares of common stock from the beneficiaries of a former Board member’s estate at a price of $4.45 per share. In addition, $1.1 million of the cash generated was used in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to make a holdback payment relating to the Company’s acquisition of Westcon, Inc. as certain revenue and gross profit criteria were achieved under the terms of that acquisition.

Capital expenditures were $0.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 and were primarily used for additional laboratory capabilities and information technology. This was a decrease of $0.1 million when compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company expects capital spending for fiscal 2010 to be approximately $1.2 million.

Inventory at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $5.6 million, an increase of $0.7 million when compared with the $4.9 million of inventory at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase was due to inventory purchases in December 2009 in response to the increased demand in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and anticipated sales volume for the Company’s upcoming fiscal fourth quarter.

Expectations for Sustained Recovery in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2010

Mr. Hadeed concluded, “We remain cautiously optimistic that recovery signs we saw in the third quarter will be sustained, and that our fourth quarter should result in strong comparisons to a much weaker prior year quarter. While it remains too early to define how product sales and service to wind energy customers will affect our overall business, we expect them to continue to support our growth objectives. Our solid cash flow and strong balance sheet will continue to allow us to make prudent and strategic investments in executing our long term strategy.”
