  Reduced $1.7 million in long-term debt during quarter

ROCHESTER, NY, May 20, 2009 — Transcat, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRNS), a leading global distributor of professional grade test and measurement instruments and accredited provider of calibration, parts inspection, production model engineering and repair services, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009, which ended March, 28, 2009. Reported results include those of Westcon, Inc. (Westcon), a test and measurement instrument distributor and calibration laboratory, which the Company acquired on August 14, 2008. The Company has integrated Westcon into its distribution and calibration operations in order to operate as a single entity. This included combining Westcon’s operations into Transcat’s lab network and financial systems. As a result, the Company’s financial results are reported on a consolidated basis without segregating Westcon results from its organic business.
Net revenue of $19.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was marginally lower when compared with $19.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Sales of the Company’s Distribution Products (Product segment), which represented 64% of total net revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, were $12.2 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 1.4%, when compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Calibration Services (Service segment) revenue was down 0.9% to $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with revenue of $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
For the fiscal year ended March 28, 2009, total net revenue was $75.4 million, a $5.0 million, or 7.0%, increase compared with total net revenue of $70.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2008. Fiscal 2009 Product segment sales were $51.5 million, a $3.9 million, or 8.3%, increase compared with sales of $47.5 million in fiscal 2008. Product segment sales contributed 68% and 67% of total net revenue in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Service segment revenue was $23.9 million in fiscal 2009, up $1.0 million, or 4.5%, compared with revenue of $22.9 million in the prior fiscal year.
Net income was $0.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, down from $0.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2008. Lower net income was primarily due to lower gross profit from the Product segment that was partially offset by improvement in gross profit from the Service segment. Net income for fiscal 2009 was $1.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with $2.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in fiscal 2008. Fiscal 2008 had the benefit of a $0.8 million reversal of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Excluding this item, net income for fiscal 2008 would have been $1.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.
Charles P. Hadeed, President, CEO and COO of Transcat, commented, “The contracted economy impacted our 2009 fourth quarter results offsetting the gains we had been making through the first half of

the year. We’ve carefully managed costs through this period and focused on improving working capital. Our disciplined cash management enabled us to repay $1.7 million in long-term debt during the quarter.”
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2009 Review
Gross profit was $5.0 million, or 26.6% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $5.4 million, or 27.9% of net revenue, in the prior fiscal year fourth quarter. The 5.8% decline in gross profit was attributed to a decrease in Product segment gross margin, partially offset by an improved gross margin in the Service segment.
Selling, marketing and warehouse expenses increased 4% to $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with $2.4 million in the same period the prior fiscal year. Administrative expenses were $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease of 8.7% compared with $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Total operating expenses were down $0.1 million to $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the same period the prior fiscal year. The slight decline reflected a $0.4 million reduction in performance-based management bonus and profit sharing expense, which was primarily offset by expenses related to the Westcon acquisition and related integration costs.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $0.9 million, or 4.9% of net revenue, a decrease when compared with $1.2 million, or 6.2% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Impacting the operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was a 290 basis point decline in Product segment operating margin.
The provision for income taxes in the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter was $0.4 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 38.8%, relatively flat when compared with $0.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 37.8%, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income was $0.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with $0.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
John J. Zimmer, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Days sales outstanding for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 improved from both the third quarter and prior year end as we focused on our credit management efforts. We also carefully managed our inventory through this sales decline to reduce it to much lower levels without compromising customer service.”
Product and Service Segment Review
Transcat is uniquely positioned to serve the pharmaceutical and FDA-regulated, industrial manufacturing, energy, utilities, chemical process, and other industries through its ability to bundle a wide variety of premium test and measurement instruments with quality calibration, parts inspection, production model engineering and repair services for its customers through its two distribution operations in New York and Oregon and its 12 calibration laboratories in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Its automated calibration tracking and management systems, breadth of calibration capabilities 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 13,500 global customers. The Company’s Master Catalog offers access to more than 25,000 test and measurement instruments. The Product segment primarily uses direct marketing and the Company’s website, which has online ordering capabilities, to market to end-users as well as to resellers.
Product segment sales decreased 1.4% to $12.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $12.4 million, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The decline in Product segment sales was attributed to the general weakness in the economy as demand from existing customers weakened despite aggressive

pricing. The decrease was partially offset by sales to the wind industry and increases in sales to resellers. Average Product segment sales per day were $191 thousand in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $197 thousand in the same period the prior fiscal year. Sales of the Company’s products over its website reached $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, up 37% over $0.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2008.
Gross margin for the Product segment is a function of a number of factors including market channel mix, manufacturers’ rebates, product mix and discounts to customers. Product segment gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $2.9 million, or 24.0% of net sales, compared with $3.4 million, or 27.1% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Reduced point-of-sale rebate income negatively impacted gross margin by 110 basis points. Pricing discounts and a higher mix of lower margin reseller business also had a negative impact on gross margin.
Mr. Hadeed commented, “Our product segment results reflect broader economic conditions and their impact on our customers. We have and will continue to make prudent investments in this business segment to optimize our performance and service our customers during this challenging period.”
The Product segment had $51.5 million in sales in fiscal 2009 compared with $47.5 million in fiscal 2008. Gross profit for the segment was $13.1 million and $13.2 million in fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 25.4% and 27.8% in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decline in gross margin reflects discount strategies to maintain competitiveness in a tight economy and the shift in sales mix to lower margin resellers. Product segment operating income in fiscal 2009 was $3.4 million compared with $3.8 million in fiscal 2008.
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 130,000 calibrations at its 12 Calibration Centers of Excellence or at its customers’ locations.
Service segment revenue was $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, a 0.9% decrease compared with $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.
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 full year trend provides a better indication of the progress of this segment. Service segment revenue for fiscal 2009 was $23.9 million, up $1.0 million, or 4.5% over fiscal 2008.
The Company’s strategy has been to focus its investments in the core electrical, temperature, pressure and dimensional disciplines. Historically, 15% to 20% of Service segment revenue is generated from outsourcing customer equipment to outside vendors for calibration beyond Transcat’s chosen scope of capabilities. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, approximately 81% of Service segment revenue was generated by the Company’s staff of technicians while 16% was subcontracted to outside vendors.
Service segment gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $2.1 million, or 31.2% of net revenue, up from $2.0 million, or 29.3% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The improvement in gross profit and margin reflects reduced performance-based bonus and profit sharing expense. Service segment operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $0.4 million compared with operating income of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
“Our service segment results blend the success we have seen in developing new customers in our targeted industry segments with the realities of existing customers deferring calibration requirements as they react to the recessionary environment,” Mr. Hadeed noted.

For fiscal 2009, Service segment revenue was $23.9 million, up 4.5% from $22.9 million the prior year. Gross profit for this segment was $5.7 million, or 23.7% of net revenue, compared with $5.3 million, or 23.3% of net revenue in fiscal 2008. Operating loss for the Service segment was $0.8 million and $0.5 million in fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. The operating loss was driven by the Company’s significant investment in selling and marketing expense.
Fiscal 2009 Year End Review
For fiscal 2009, Product segment sales generated through the Company’s website were $3.7 million, up 36% compared with $2.7 million in fiscal 2008. Approximately 80% of Product segment sales in fiscal 2009 were direct while 18% were to resellers compared with 85% and 14%, respectively, in fiscal 2008. Reseller sales increased 42.8% in fiscal 2009 as the Company added resellers to increase its market reach. Domestic sales comprised 80% of the total Product segment sales in fiscal 2009, while 7% were to Canada and 12% were to other international markets. Service segment revenue was $23.9 million for fiscal 2009, up 4.5% compared with fiscal 2008. For fiscal 2009, 80% of Service segment revenue was generated by the Company’s 12 Calibration Centers of Excellence and 17% was generated through subcontracted outside vendors. The tables at the end of this release reflect quarterly segment revenue trends for fiscal years 2008 and 2009.
Gross margin was 24.9% for fiscal 2009 compared with 26.3% in the prior fiscal year. Product segment gross margin was 25.4% and 27.8% for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. The year-over-year decline was a result of pricing, higher net sales through lower margin channels and reduced point-of-sale rebate income. Service segment gross margin improved to 23.7% in fiscal 2009 compared with 23.3% in the prior fiscal year.
Operating expenses were $16.1 million, or 21.3% of revenue, in fiscal 2009 compared with $15.3 million, or 21.7% of revenue, in fiscal 2008. Included in fiscal 2009 operating expenses were $0.8 million in Westcon expenses and $0.3 million in non-recurring expenses related to integration. The increase in operating expenses reflected investments in sales and marketing for the Service segment, partially offset by cost control measures and reductions in performance-based management bonus and profit sharing expense. Operating margin in fiscal 2009 was 3.6% compared with 4.7% in fiscal 2008.
Mr. Hadeed noted, “Our operating results for the year were clearly impacted by the economy as our customers dealt with plant consolidations, shut downs and cost reduction mandates. We have prudently made adjustments to our business, while sustaining key and strategic investments. The results of our actions are reflected in our strong balance sheet.”
Solid Balance Sheet and Steady Cash Generation
Cash generated from operations for fiscal 2009 was $3.8 million, up $0.2 million compared with
$3.6 million in fiscal 2008. The incremental cash generated was used to repay debt related to the Company’s Westcon acquisition. Long-term debt decreased to $3.6 million at March 28, 2009, compared with $5.3 million at December 27, 2008, but was up from $0.3 million at March 29, 2008.
Capital expenditures were $1.8 million in fiscal 2009 compared with $1.5 million in fiscal 2008. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2009 were primarily focused on expansion of calibration services capacity and capabilities.
At March 28, 2009, inventory was $4.9 million compared with $5.5 million at December 27, 2008 and $5.4 million at March 29, 2008. The decrease in inventory reflects the Company’s efforts to manage its inventory during the current downturn in the economy.

Outlook
The Company expects overall modest growth in revenue in fiscal 2010 with the benefit of a full year of Westcon business, growth through market share gains in calibration services and an expected improvement in the economy in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
Mr. Hadeed stated, “Both of our business segments have been and will continue to be impacted by the economy, and we do not expect to start the year strong. We expect our product sales to have a relatively flat year with our fourth quarter being our strongest, whereas, our service revenue should strengthen as we move through the year.”
He continued, “Sales of both products and calibration services to the wind industry should be a greater part of sales in fiscal 2010. We have relationships with both the major wind turbine manufacturers and the major utilities that are building wind energy power and expect that this position will enable us to accelerate our growth within this industry over the next several years. We believe we may also indirectly benefit from funds from the federal stimulus package that are dedicated to alternative energy.”
