Bradley Vizi, Executive Chairman of RCM Technologies, commented, “We are pleased with the quarterly trajectory of our adjusted EBITDA. After realizing just under $1 million in adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we expect to build on this progress and grow adjusted EBITDA sequentially in the first two quarters of fiscal 2021. After our school clients return from summer vacation in the fall of 2021, when we expect most schools to be in person, we believe our fourth quarter will reflect continued strength.”

Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, commented, “We ended 2020 by generating $1.5 million in cash from operations while sequentially growing revenue by $9.6 million. Our line of credit in 2020 decreased by $22.9 million, or 66%, from $34.8 million at the end of 2019 to $11.9 million at the end of 2020. We look forward to improved operating results in 2021.”

RCM Technologies, Inc.
Supplemental Operating Results on a Non-GAAP Basis
(Unaudited)
(In Thousands)

The following non-GAAP data, which adjusts for the categories of expenses described below, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Our management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful information for investors, shareholders and other stakeholders of our Company in gauging our results of operations on an ongoing basis. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures and have provided a reconciliation between net income and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of performance. In addition, neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA takes into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following unaudited table presents the Company's GAAP net income measure and the corresponding adjustments used to calculate “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA” for the fourteen and fifty-three week periods ended January 2, 2021 and the thirteen and fifty-two week periods ended December 28, 2019.
