BUFFALO, N.Y., Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CTG (Nasdaq: CTG) (“Company”), a leader in North America and Western Europe helping companies employ digital IT solutions and services to drive their productivity and profitability, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Filip Gydé, CTG President and CEO commented, “We believe our results continue to validate the effectiveness of our strategy to evolve into a digital solutions and services focused business with solid margin expansion against revenue headwinds. Our strategy is delivering an improved mix of digital IT solutions while reducing lower-margin, non-core business. Our gross margin expanded 190 basis points year-over-year and 40 basis points sequentially, and gross margin for our North America and Europe IT Solutions and Services segments was a combined 29.1%. We continued to strengthen our business and disengaged from $8.8 million of non-strategic staffing business in the quarter.”

Mr. Gydé added, “We are excited to add Eleviant, which we acquired at the end of the quarter on September 29, 2022, to our solutions team. A compelling addition, Eleviant further advances our strategy of transformation into a higher value digital IT solutions provider. Eleviant provides strong offerings in AI, machine learning, and intelligent automation while complementing many of our other solutions and services. With the addition of established talent in India gained with the acquisition, we have increased capacity and added greater flexibility and agility to our global delivery network. From a financial perspective, Eleviant provides approximately $10 million of incremental annual revenue and given its industry-leading margin profile, is immediately accretive to EBITDA margin. We expect to leverage the capabilities of our growing global team of associates to drive sales synergies and deliver even greater value for our clients.”

  • Excluding the $5.7 million negative impact to revenue due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and $8.8 million related to the disengagement from lower-margin non-strategic technology services business, revenue was down approximately 1%. Last year’s third quarter also benefited from the initial ramp up of a major engagement in North America.
  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses declined 9.2% to $16.0 million reflecting strong cost discipline even as the Company continues to make investments in organic growth. As a percentage of sales, SG&A increased 190 basis points due to reduced operating leverage.
  • The effective tax rate was elevated in the quarter at 40.8% due to a reversal of deductions previously taken in a foreign jurisdiction.

Successfully Executing on Strategy

CTG is a catalyst for digital transformation, helping IT and business leaders accelerate their effort to integrate digital technology into all areas of their operations to improve productivity, strengthen business processes, elevate internal controls, and deliver a higher value proposition to their customers. CTG’s strategy for growth is to transform into a higher performing, digital solutions based business. The three key elements of its strategy are to:

  • Become a larger, more relevant global provider of digital IT solutions by capitalizing on the compelling trend of digital transformation, leverage the CTG brand built on reliability and results, and deliver solutions primarily to the energy, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing sectors.
  • Expand the team organically by adding highly qualified and experienced associates and employing innovative tools and methodologies, and by making selective acquisitions.
  • Strengthen its margin profile both by the mix of business and by reducing delivery costs including the disengagement from low margin IT staffing service support in its Non-Strategic Technology Services segment.

2022 Outlook

John M. Laubacker, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We continue to be impacted by a range of macroeconomic headwinds as well as business-specific challenges. These include the foreign currency translation impacts resulting from the significantly devalued Euro in the first three quarters of 2022. Additionally, the recent increase in the competition for resources in Europe is creating labor constraints in meeting client demand. Finally, the macroeconomic climate in both North America and Europe has slowed our clients’ decision-making process for IT solutions and services. As we mentioned in our first quarter release, we expected quarterly performance at the outset of 2022 to be uneven due to engagement timing, and we now expect that to continue for the rest of the year. As a result, we are adjusting our revenue for 2022 to range from $320 million to $330 million which includes a reduction of approximately $30 million from the prior year as a result of the intentional disengagement from the lowest margin business in our Non-Strategic Technology Services segment, $20 million from foreign currency exchange impacts, and a significant expected reduction in fourth quarter 2022 revenue compared with the prior year due to the completion of a large project in 2021.”

“Despite the top-line decrease and challenging macroeconomic headwinds, we expect our operating margins for the year to improve over the prior year given the positive ongoing changes to our business mix, and the lower revenue will be offset in part by these improving operating margins. We now expect 2022 GAAP diluted earnings per share to range from $0.42 to $0.48, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to range from $0.52 to $0.58. Our long-range goal remains unchanged as we drive our adjusted EBITDA margins to approximately 7%* by the end of 2023.”

* The corresponding GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA is net income. The Company is not providing forward looking net income guidance given the significant effort and assumptions involved in measuring net income. The GAAP to non-GAAP tables below include net income to adjusted EBITDA displayed on historical results for the past five quarters and the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2022.

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Information

The Company has referenced non-GAAP information in this news release. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to investors and management to gain an overall understanding of its current financial performance and prospects. In addition, management uses non-GAAP financial measures for forecasting, facilitating ongoing operating decisions, and measuring the Company’s overall performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures align closely with its internal measurement processes and are reflective of the Company’s core operating results.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP information is included in the financial tables below. The non-GAAP financial information is presented using a consistent methodology from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Also, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures. As such, the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release should be carefully evaluated.
