Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenues increased 15% ($10.3 million) for the quarter and 14% ($18.3 million) for the six months compared to the prior year. Growth was driven by the GSI acquisition ($4.7 million contribution) and increased sales to commercial customers and Federal civilian agencies.
- Profitability: Operating income remained flat for the quarter ($5.1 million) but decreased $0.5 million for the six months ($9.3 million vs. $9.8 million). The prior year included a $0.5 million gain from a favorable government cost rate settlement not present in the current period.
- Expense Structure: Direct costs as a percentage of revenue rose to 53.8% (from 52.5%) due to the GSI acquisition, which has a higher proportion of direct costs. Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.8 million due to new goodwill and capital expenditures.
- Debt and Liquidity: Long-term debt increased significantly to $36.9 million (from $8.8 million) to finance the GSI acquisition. The company amended its credit facility, increasing capacity to $70 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $38.1 million, primarily for acquisitions.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Acquisitions: GSI (acquired Nov 1, 1997) and AnaData (acquired Nov 1997) are expected to contribute to future revenue. GSI goodwill of $23 million is being amortized over 20 years.
- Legal Proceedings: A lawsuit with Ceridian Corporation was settled on confidential terms. A separate suit against the Arizona Department of Transportation (seeking ~$2.9 million) remains in discovery with settlement discussions ongoing.
- Forward-Looking Risks: Management cites risks including changes in government spending, competitive pricing pressures, technology developments, and the ability to retain technical talent. Commercial software revenue is noted as inherently less predictable than government contracts.
- Accounting Changes: The company adopted SFAS No. 128 (Earnings Per Share) effective for this period, restating prior periods for comparability.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the integration progress and revenue contribution of the GSI and AnaData acquisitions against the preliminary purchase price allocations.
- Monitor the status of the Arizona Department of Transportation litigation and potential settlement outcomes.
- Assess the sustainability of the 14-15% revenue growth rate given the one-time nature of the prior year's cost rate settlement gain.
- Review the utilization of the expanded $70 million credit facility and the company's ability to service the increased debt load ($36.9 million).
- Track the volatility of commercial software revenues, which management notes are less predictable than government contracts.
