Second Quarter 2022 Results:

Revenues for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $62.1 million compared to $53.7 million during the corresponding quarter of 2021. Gross profits in the second quarter of 2022 increased by 17% to $16.7 million from $14.3 million in the same quarter of 2021. GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $2.4 million or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $3.7 million or $0.31 per diluted share during the same period of 2021. As noted above, the Company's second quarter of 2021 included a revaluation of a contingent consideration liability which favorably impacted net income by $1.4 million and earnings per share by $0.12. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $3.6 million or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $3.4 million or $0.29 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2021.

Activity levels at the Company's Data and Analytics Services segment were solid, as revenues expanded by 26% over the second quarter of 2021 and 11% sequentially over the first quarter 2022. Data and Analytics gross margins took a dip during the quarter as the business increased its billable staff by 22% in anticipation of higher revenues during the second half of 2022. Many of these resources were in training programs during Q-2 2022, which impacted utilization. Demand for the Company's IT Staffing Services segment remained elevated during the second quarter, as the segment achieved record revenues and gross margins.

Commenting on second quarter financial results, Vivek Gupta, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer stated,"Both of our business segments delivered solid double digit year-over-year revenue growth, as well as strong sequential revenue growth during the quarter. While net income was impacted by investments made in the Data and Analytics segment to support future growth and strengthen our cloud services capabilities, I am very pleased with our overall strategic progress during the quarter."

"I'm happy to say that we delivered record revenues in the Data and Analytics segment during the second quarter and we are excited about the future opportunities for this business," said Ganeshan Venkateshwaran, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company's Data and Analytics Services segment.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures:

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures are included in the attached financial tables.

We believe that providing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share offers investors useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enables comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business. Additionally, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's performance.

Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures contained herein exclude the following expense items:

Amortization of acquired intangible assets: We amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with our June 2015 acquisition of Hudson IT, our July 2017 acquisition of the services division of InfoTrellis, Inc. and our October 2020 acquisition of AmberLeaf Partners. We exclude these amortization expenses in our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe it allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies within our industry and facilitates a helpful comparison of our results with other periods.

Stock-based compensation expenses: We incur material recurring expense related to non-cash, stock-based compensation. We exclude these expenses in our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that it provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use under ASC 718, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these expenses allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies within our industry and facilitates comparison of our results with other periods.

Contingent consideration liability revaluation: In connection with the AmberLeaf acquisition, the Company was required to pay future consideration contingent upon the achievement of specific financial objectives. As of the acquisition date, the Company recorded a contingent consideration liability representing the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration that was expected to be paid. In the second quarter of 2021, this contingent consideration liability was reduced by $2.0 million to $900,000, and in the fourth quarter of 2021 the liability was reduced to $0, after the Company determined that relevant conditions for the payment of such liability were unlikely to be satisfied. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these adjustments to expense are useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operating expenses and facilitate comparison of our results with other periods.

Forward-Looking Statements:

Certain statements contained in this release are forward-looking statements based on management's expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "scheduled," "estimates" and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to projections of and statements regarding the Company's ability to generate revenues, earnings, and cash flow. These statements are based on information currently available to the Company and it assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements as circumstances change. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results and trends may differ materially from what is forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the level of market demand for the Company's services, the highly competitive market for the types of services offered by the Company, the impact of competitive factors on profit margins, market conditions that could cause the Company's customers to reduce their spending for its services, the Company's ability to create, acquire and build new lines of business, to attract and retain qualified personnel, reduce costs and conserve cash, the extent to which the Company's business is adversely affected by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental responses to limit the further spread of COVID-19 and other risks that are described in more detail in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
