Fourth Quarter Results:
Revenues for the quarter were $20.3 million and represented a 30.2% increase over the corresponding quarter last year and a 7.5% sequential improvement over third quarter 2010 results. Gross margins in the 2010 quarter totaled 19.7% compared to 19.2% for the 2009 quarter. Consolidated net income for the fourth quarter 2010 totaled $304,000 or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $219,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the same period last year. These results were $0.03 better than third quarter 2010.
Demand for our IT staffing services remained solid during the fourth quarter when considering the normal year-end industry trends. Market conditions in healthcare continue to show some signs of stabilization and we were able to achieve sequential revenue growth for the second consecutive quarter.
Full Year Results:
Revenue for the year totaled $71.8 million, compared to $71.1 million in 2009. Gross margins for the full year 2010 were 19.6% compared to 18.9% in 2009. Consolidated net income for 2010 totaled $663,000 or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million or $0.38 per diluted share in 2009.
During 2010 we grew our billable IT consultant-base by over 20%, increased our gross margins and achieved year-over-year revenue growth for the first time since 2006. Additionally, we expanded our service offerings, made critical investments in our sales and recruitment organizations and enhanced our operational processes and accountability metrics.
Thomas Moran, Chief Executive Officer of Mastech, stated, "We are pleased with the results that we delivered for the quarter and the progress that we made during 2010 to strengthen our organization for future growth. During the quarter, we again grew our business in terms of revenues and earnings per share on both a year-over-year and sequential basis."
Commenting on the Company's financial position, Jack Cronin, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Our balance sheet remains strong with $6.3 million of cash on hand, no outstanding debt and access to $8.1 million of credit under our existing revolving credit facility. We believe that we are in an excellent financial position to capitalize on value creation opportunities, as evidenced by our recently announced share buyback program."
