LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Legion Partners Asset Management, LLC ("Legion Partners"), together with IRS Partners No. 19, L.P. and certain other stockholders of RCM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCMT), which has nominated two director nominees to the Board of Directors of RCM at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, said today that the financial results for the most recent quarter ended September 28, 2013 validates the need for change at RCM.
"While the headline results may seem somewhat encouraging, the multi-year declines in revenues and net income are disturbing," said Bradley Vizi of Legion Partners.
RCM announced revenues of $41.3 million for the 13-week period ended September 28, 2013, a decline of over 24% from third-quarter revenues recorded in the same quarter in 2007. The following table highlights the multi-year decline in third-quarter results at RCM:
| Fiscal Third Quarter Results | ||||||
($ in millions) | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 |
Revenue | $54.1 | $51.6 | $40.4 | $37.5 | $33.6 | $34.8 | $41.3 |
Gross profit | $13.4 | $13.3 | $11.3 | $10.6 | $9.1 | $9.7 | $10.7 |
Operating income | $2.8 | $0.9 | $0.9 | $1.9 | $0.7 | $1.1 | $1.8 |
Net income | $1.7 | $0.6 | $0.4 | $1.2 | $0.7 | $0.6 | $1.1 |
"We believe RCM's multi-year declining trend in quarterly results demonstrates the need for new directors committed to providing the necessary oversight and focus on holding management accountable for poor performance," said Mr. Vizi. "That is why we have nominated two new directors for election to the board at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders." The group led by Legion Partners is the largest stockholder of RCM, with a collective ownership of 13.3%.
The stockholder group's nominees are:
Mr. Vizi further commented: "Don't be fooled by management's attempt to paint a rosy picture of improving results. We believe the only thing this team has delivered is prolific value destruction which has been well documented in RCM's income statement over a long period."
Mr. Vizi concluded: "Our nominees, with substantial 'skin in the game,' will be resolute to maximize the value of RCM for all stockholders."
Legion Partners also announced today that stockholders would soon be receiving the stockholder group's proxy materials and GOLD proxy card. Legion Partners urges all stockholders to vote the GOLD proxy card to elect two truly independent directors who are firmly committed to representing the interests of all stockholders.
