Ciber Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

Christian Mezger, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our focus remains on further reductions to our cost structure and enhancing cash generation to improve future results."

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenue of $341.0 million fell 14% in constant currency and 15% in U.S. dollars compared with last year's six months ended June 30, 2015. The North America segment posted revenue of $194.7 million, down 9% from the year-ago six month period. Revenue in the International segment was $147.0 million for the first six months of 2016, down 18% in constant currency and 21% in U.S. dollars compared to the year-ago six month period. Overall company gross margin was 21.9%, down from 25.9% in the prior year first six months.

GAAP operating loss was $148.6 million for the first six months of 2016. Adjusted operating loss was $28.2 million before goodwill impairment, bad debt allowance adjustment, amortization and restructuring charges. These adjustments totaled $120.4 million.

GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $148.7 million for the first six months of 2016, or $1.85 per share. GAAP results include a non-cash impairment charge in the first six months of 2016 of $115.5 million. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations for the first six months of 2016, before goodwill impairment, gain on sale, bad debt allowance adjustment and amortization and restructuring charges was $32.2 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $6.1 million, or $0.08 per share in the first six months of 2015.  Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP operating results and diluted EPS are included at the end of this release.

Sale of Ciber Nederland B.V.

As Ciber executes its strategy of exiting non-strategic businesses, the Company on June 16, 2016, completed a sale of certain assets and liabilities of Ciber Nederland, B.V., which has been reported as a part of the Company's International segment, for a cash purchase price of $25.0 million. The purchase price includes $5.0 million to be held in escrow, to be released in equal parts at 12 and 18 months from the closing.  The purchase price also is subject to a purchase price adjustment, capped at the amount held in escrow, six months after closing with respect to the retention of certain Ciber Nederland customers. Subsequent to quarter end, the purchase price was adjusted by $3.9 million for a working capital adjustment under the purchase agreement, resulting in total sale proceeds of $28.9 million, assuming full release of the escrow. The gain on the sale of assets was $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Capital Deployment and Liquidity

Ciber's cash balance at the end of the second quarter of 2016 was $11.3 million. The outstanding balance on the credit facility was $40.7 million. At the end of the first quarter of 2016, Ciber's cash balance was $18.4 million and the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $39.5 million.

Cash flow used in operating activities (continuing operations) in the second quarter was $32.1 million and year-to-date through June 30, 2016 was $35.5 million, compared with cash usage of $3.5 million in the year-ago quarter and $37.1 million in the first half of 2015. Days Sales Outstanding were 71 days, an increase of three days versus the prior year quarter and no change versus the first quarter of 2016. Capital expenditures totaled $8.3 million for year-to-date 2016 compared to $3.6 million in the year-earlier period.

Goodwill Impairment Charge

Ciber recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the 2016 second quarter of $29.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the write-down of goodwill related to its International segment.  A sustained decrease in the Company's stock price, lower than expected earnings and the sale of Ciber Nederland B.V. during the second quarter of 2016 resulted in a potential indicator of goodwill impairment. Ciber compared the carrying value of its segments versus fair value as of June 30, 2016. The analysis concluded that the fair value of Ciber's International segment was below its carrying value.  The non-cash impairment charge impacts neither the Company's future performance nor compliance with debt covenants under its revolving credit agreement. The Company also recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the 2016 first quarter of $85.9 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the write-down of goodwill related to its International segment. Ciber's balance sheet after the 2016 second quarter impairment charge includes no goodwill in its International segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), we also present certain non-GAAP measurements because management believes that these metrics provide meaningful supplemental information useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because they provide an additional measure to evaluate our performance without regard to special and non-core items, which can vary substantially from company to company and from period to period. These non-GAAP measurements should be viewed as supplements to (not substitutes for) our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP, and include: "constant currency;" "adjusted operating income," "adjusted operating margin," "adjusted net income/loss from continuing operations," "adjusted net income/loss per share," and "adjusted SG&A expenses." Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable U.S. GAAP measures are available in the schedules accompanying this release. These reconciliations may also be found in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://www.ciber.com/.
