Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 238.7% year-over-year for the quarter and 212.0% for the six-month period. This surge is primarily driven by The Road Home contract with the State of Louisiana, which accounted for approximately 66% of revenue in the first six months of 2007.
- Profitability: The company transitioned from a net loss of $1.4 million (quarter) and $0.3 million (six months) in 2006 to net income of $11.2 million and $19.8 million, respectively, in 2007.
- Cost Structure: Direct costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 74.9% (quarter) and 73.4% (six months) from 62.1% and 60.6% in the prior year. This increase is attributed to high levels of subcontractor costs associated with The Road Home contract.
- Acquisitions: The company acquired Z-Tech Corporation (June 2007), Energy and Environmental Analysis, Inc. (EEA), and Advanced Performance Consulting Group (APCG) in January 2007. These acquisitions increased goodwill from $83.8 million to $116.5 million.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Client Concentration: State and local government clients generated 68% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 40% in the full year 2006. The Road Home contract remains a dominant revenue driver.
- Liquidity and Capital: The company amended its credit facility on June 28, 2007, increasing capacity from $65 million to $95 million. Borrowing availability stood at $89.5 million as of June 30, 2007.
- Risk Factors: Key risks include dependence on government contracts, potential liquidated damages or termination of The Road Home contract, audit risks associated with the contract, and the ability to win large-value procurements.
- Unusual Items: The prior year (2006) included a non-recurring $4.3 million charge for the abandonment of office space in Lexington and San Francisco, which impacted prior period comparability.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the sustainability of revenue from The Road Home contract and the risk of contract termination or audit adjustments.
- Monitor the ratio of subcontracted labor to internal labor, as high subcontracting levels impact gross margins.
- Review the final allocation of purchase price for the Z-Tech acquisition (pending as of filing date) and its impact on goodwill.
- Assess the company's ability to diversify its client base beyond the State of Louisiana to reduce concentration risk.
- Confirm compliance with financial covenants under the amended $95 million credit facility.
