Forward Looking Statements

 

This Report, the Release and the above referenced conference call contain "forward-looking statements". There also are "forward looking statements" contained in SGRP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the "Annual Report"), as filed on April 15, 2015, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in SGRP's definitive Proxy Statement respecting its Annual Meeting of Stockholders currently scheduled to be held on May 12, 2015 (the "Proxy Statement"), which is expected to be filed on or about April 20, 2015, and the Company's other filings under applicable law with the SEC (including this Report, the Annual Report, the Proxy Statement and the Quarterly Report, each a "SEC Report"). "Forward-looking statements" are defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and other applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations, as amended (together with the Securities Act and Exchange Act, collectively, "Securities Laws").

 

The forward-looking statements made by the Company in this Report, the Release and the above referenced call include (without limitation) any expectations, guidance or other information respecting the pursuit or achievement of the Company's five corporate objectives (growth, customer value, employee development, productivity & efficiency, and earnings per share), building upon the Company's strong foundation, leveraging compatible global opportunities, improving on the value we already deliver to customers, our growing client base, continuing balance sheet strength, customer contract expansion, growing revenues and becoming profitable through organic growth and acquisitions, attracting new business that will increase SPAR Group's revenues, improving product mix, continuing to maintain or reduce costs and consummating any transactions. The Company's forward-looking statements also include, in particular and without limitation, those made in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources" in the Quarterly Report, and "Business", "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Annual Report. You can identify forward-looking statements in such information by the Company's use of terms such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "believe", "estimate", "anticipate", "continue" or similar words or variations or negatives of those words.

 

You should carefully consider all forward-looking statements, risk factors and the other risks, cautions and information made, contained or incorporated by reference in the Release, the above referenced conference call, this Report, the Annual Report, the Proxy Statement and the Company's SEC Reports that could cause the Company's actual assets, business, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, performance, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks, trends or condition to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company and described in the information in the Company's forward-looking and other statements, whether express or implied, as they are based upon the Company's plans, intentions, expectations and estimates (although it believes them to be reasonable) and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors (many of which are beyond the Company's control) that could cause them to fail to occur or be realized or to be materially and adversely different from those the Company planned, intended, expected or estimated.

Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions, expectations and estimates reflected or implied in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that such plans, intentions, expectations or estimates will be achieved in whole or in part, that the Company has identified all potential risks, or that the Company can successfully avoid or mitigate such risks in whole or in part. You should carefully review the risk factors described in the Annual Report (See Item 1A – Risk Factors) and any other risks, cautions or information made, contained or incorporated by reference in the Release, the above referenced conference call, this Report, the Annual Report or other applicable SEC Report. All forward-looking and other statements or information attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly subject to and qualified by all such risk factors and other risks, cautions and similar information.

 

You should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements and similar information because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond its control. The Company's forward-looking statements, risk factors and other risks, cautions and information (whether contained in the Release, the above reference conference call, this Report, the Annual Report, the Proxy Statement or any other applicable SEC Report) are based on the information then available to the Company and speak only as of the date specifically referenced, or if no date is referenced, then as of December 31, 2014, in the case of the Annual Report or the Proxy Statement or the last day of the period covered by the Release, this Report or any other applicable SEC Report. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect the Company. Over time, the Company's actual assets, business, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, performance, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievements, results, risks, trends or condition will likely differ from those expressed or implied by the Company's forward-looking statements and other information, and such difference could be significant and materially adverse to the Company and the value of your investment in the Company's Common Stock.

 

The Company does not intend or promise, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, risk factors or other risks, cautions or information (in whole or in part), whether as a result of new information, risks or uncertainties, future events or recognition or otherwise, except as and to the extent required by applicable law.

SPAR Group Announces Financial Results for the Year Ending December 31, 2014

 

 

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., April 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPAR Group, Inc. (SGRP) ("we", the "Company" or "SPAR Group"), a leading supplier of retail merchandising and other marketing services throughout the United States and internationally, today announced the financial results for the year and fourth quarter ending December 31, 2014. Revenue for the 2014 year and fourth quarter totaled $122 million and $32.1 million, an increase of 9% and 1%, respectively. Adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation, revenue growth year over year was 14% and 5% for the total year and fourth quarter. 2014 Earnings per diluted share were $0.15 for both fiscal years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013. After adjusting for the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance in both years, the diluted earnings per share were $0.08 and $0.07 for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Jill Blanchard, Chief Executive Officer of SPAR Group, commented, “During 2014, we built a strategic plan for 2015 and beyond that lays the foundation for long-term growth through investments in new industry trends, newly evolving technologies and senior-level personnel. This effort has further enhanced our global capabilities and knowledge base, and we believe it is the key to long-term differentiation in our industry. A driving force in our plan is the shift that is unfolding within the retail industry that is resulting in the reinvention of the in-store experience and the growth of brick and mortar retail sales. As Omni-channel retail grows, stores will increasingly need to optimize their sales floor to enhance the shopping experience and integrate with online activities. With our efficient global operations, flexibility and commitment to technological leadership, we are poised to capitalize on these trends to re-format and re-set stores, increase Click & Collect services, and provide merchandising data analysis on a worldwide basis.”

 

Jill Blanchard continued, “We are pleased with our 2014 financial results. Revenue during that period increased 9% year-over-year to $122 million. Since 2010 our business has grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 18%. International operations were a driving force in our growth. In 2014 international revenue increased 12% and adjusted for local currency, growth was 20%. Our balance sheet remains strong with $4.4 million in cash. As we look to the future, we continue to explore acquisition opportunities as the industry is highly fragmented with smaller players that while profitable, lack the technology capability of SPAR.”

 

 

Financial Highlights for the Year Ending December 31, 2014

 

2014 revenue totaled $122 million, an increase of 9%, as compared to $112 million in 2013,

International revenue increased $8.2 million year over year or 12% to $75.6 million,

The $8.2 million or 12% increase in international revenue year over year was due primarily to a recent acquisition in China of Unilink ($4 million) in addition to growth primarily in Mexico, India and South Africa. Adjusting for the impact of foreign currency ($5.1 million), international revenue actually increased by 20% year over year The $1.8 million increase in domestic revenue year over year was due to a mix of clients and the full year impact of the MFI acquisition late in the first quarter of 2013.

 

Internationally, gross profit margins for 2014 were 20.8% as compared to 20% in 2013, primarily due to the China Unilink acquisition and margin improvement in South Africa and Canada. Domestic gross profit margins for the fiscal year 2014 remained consistent at 32% compared to 2013.

 

The Company reported net income attributable to SPAR Group, Inc. of $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, or $0.15 per diluted share. Adjusting for the one time impact of the partial release of the valuation reserves in both years, the Company’s earnings per share would have been $0.08 and $0.07 on a diluted basis for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

 

Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter Ending December 31, 2014

 

Revenue for the 2014 fourth quarter totaled $32.1 million compared to $31.8 million for the same period in 2013,

2014 fourth quarter international revenue totaled $20.9 million, an increase of 7%, as compared to $19.6 million in 2013,

2014 fourth quarter gross profit totaled $9.1 million, an increase of 5%, as compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2013,

2014 fourth quarter net income totaled $2.7 million, as compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2013.

 

International revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $20.9 million as compared to $19.6 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in international revenue was directly attributable to a newly integrated acquisition in China and revenue increases in South Africa. Domestic revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was at $11.1 million, a decrease of $1 million from the same period in 2013.
