HALIFAX ANNOUNCES FISCAL
2009 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net Income of $903,000 and Earnings Per Share of $.28
ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 30, 2009 -- Halifax Corporation of Virginia (NYSE Amex: HX)
today announced its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended March
31, 2009.
Revenues for of fiscal year 2009 were $34.0 million compared to $43.9 million for
the prior year. The decrease in revenues in 2009 was attributable to the termination
of certain large nation-wide enterprise maintenance contracts, including the loss
of a large aeronautic manufacturing customer at the end of fiscal year 2008.
The Company reported operating income of $1.3 million compare to an operating loss
of $1.8 million for the prior fiscal year. The improvement in operating results
was primarily due to the lowering of our operating costs which offset our reductions
in revenue, and improvement in the mix of our business to more profitable contracts.
The Company reported net income of $903,000, or $.28 per basic and diluted share.
Charles McNew, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "It's a pleasure
to be discussing profitable results on a full year basis. We are successfully executing
a difficult transformation in an extremely challenging economic environment."
"Financial performance has improved on virtually every front, under performing
contracts have been eliminated, margins are improving, working capital is growing
and bank debt continues to decline."
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009 revenues were $8.0 million compared to $9.0
million for the same period last year. The Company had operating income of $268,000
compared to an operating loss of $887,000 for the same period last year. The Company
reported net income of $241,000, or $.08, per basic and diluted share for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $955,000 or $(.30) per basic
and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
McNew added, "We have every reason to believe that our return to profitability
is sustainable going forward and as noted in a recent announcement, our supply chain
services program (Enterprise Logistics Solutions) is being well received by the
business process outsourcing community on both a domestic and international basis
and is affording us a variety of higher margin growth opportunities. Our legacy
maintenance business has its challenges but given the current state of our sales
pipeline it appears to be on track for an acceptable performance in the coming year."
