PENNSAUKEN, N.J., Nov. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RCM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:RCMT) today announced financial results for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 26, 2009.

The Company announced revenues of $44.8 million for the thirteen week period ended September 26, 2009, down from $51.6 million for the thirteen week period ended September 27, 2008 (comparable prior year period). Net income for the thirteen week period ended September 26, 2009 was $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

The Company had net operating income for the thirteen week period ended September 26, 2009 of $0.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, down from net operating income of $0.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

The Company announced revenues of $140.0 million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 26, 2009, down from $155.7 million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 27, 2008 (comparable prior year period). Net income for the thirty-nine week period ended September 26, 2009 was $6.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

The Company had net operating income for the thirty-nine week period ended September 26, 2009 of $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, up from a net operating loss of $1.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

The Company recorded legal settlement proceeds of $9.8 million, or $5.8 million net of income tax expense, for the thirty-nine week period ended September 26, 2009. The legal settlement resulted in an increase to earnings per diluted share of $0.45. During the comparable prior year period, the Company recorded a $6.1 million bad debt charge, or $3.7 million net of income tax benefit, relating to a note receivable that the Company wrote off. The loss resulted in a reduction of earnings of $0.29 per diluted share.

Leon Kopyt, Chairman and CEO of RCM, commented: "Revenues in the third quarter for our Information Technology (IT) and General Support Services groups remained sluggish due in part to a continued weakness in enterprise IT spending and light industrial services, respectively. The Engineering group and, despite a seasonal slowdown, the Specialty Healthcare group each maintained an expected level of performance during the quarter.

While we are not satisfied with our revenue numbers, the net income results for the quarter were modestly profitable and the balance sheet showed continued improvement. For the fifth consecutive quarter, we achieved positive cash flow from operations totaling approximately $20.6 million over this time period."
