AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT - News), a leading information technology consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers throughout the United States, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

* Services revenues, including reimbursed expenses, increased 77% to $42.8 million compared to $24.2 million during the third quarter of 2005;

* Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were up 25% to $0.10 compared to $0.08 per share during the third quarter of 2005. The impact of non-cash stock compensation reduced GAAP earnings per share on a fully diluted basis $0.02 per share in the third quarter of 2006;

* Cash earnings per share(1) on a fully diluted basis were up over 60% to $0.15 compared to $0.09 per share during the third quarter of 2005;

* Net income was up 37% to $2.8 million compared to $2.1 million during the third quarter of 2005. Net income included GAAP non-cash stock compensation expense net tax effect of approximately $520,000 and $45,000 in the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively;

* EBITDA(2) was up 50% to $6.3 million compared to $4.2 million during the third quarter of 2005. EBITDA(2) included GAAP non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $758,000 and $73,000 in the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively;

* Gross margin for services revenue was 38.7% compared to 38.4% in the third quarter of 2005. Gross profit for services revenue included GAAP non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $243,000 and $-0- in the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Gross Margin for services revenue excluding stock compensation expense was 39.3% compared to 38.4% in the third quarter of 2005; and

* Gross margin for software revenue was 18.6% compared to 21.6% in the third quarter of 2005.

"The third quarter was another record quarter for Perficient, with 77% total services revenue growth over the prior year quarter and record profitability," said Jack McDonald, Perficient's chairman and chief executive. "Our organic growth continues to be extremely strong at north of 25% on a trailing twelve month basis. Our strong cash flows and improved cash management have enabled us to pay down debt to less than $7 million as of September 30th and approximately $3 million as of November 2nd. We enter Q4 with an annualized revenue run-rate of more than $180 million, great organic growth prospects, an acquisition pipeline that's stronger than it's ever been and nearly $50 million available under our credit facility."

"On a number of key operating metrics, our strong performance is continuing," said Jeffrey Davis, Perficient's president and chief operating officer. "Services gross margin, excluding stock compensation, was north of 39% and it's notable that we achieved this at a utilization rate of 84%, within our sustainable range. Average bill rate remained strong - we've already begun to increase the lower bill rates which accompanied the two most recent acquisitions. This is indicative of the operational diligence we bring to acquired firms, the marketplace leverage the Perficient brand brings and the underlying strength in the legacy businesses. Our backlog and project pipeline continue to be strong. Finally, we remain on track to meet our goal to hire 250 professionals in 2006, having hired 206 billable resources through the third quarter."

Thanks for the update BigSully1.......great day today ! Record price large gain.
I'll keep an eye on it... ;)
I have found the best time for entry is when the MACD hooks up from center line. The center line should be close to the bottom of the graph. This indicates the previous trend was strong. Although a hook up of the MACD above center is positive, I've found good profits when the lines go to zero then hook up on increase volume.

Perficient Reports First Quarter 2007 Results
Thursday May 10, 8:02 am ET
Company Reports Record Quarterly Revenues, Realizes Higher Gross and EBITDA Margins and Exceeds Consensus Analysts' Earnings Forecast

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT - News) a leading information technology consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers throughout the United States, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Financial Highlights

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2007:

    * Revenues increased 69% to $50.0 million compared to $29.6 million during the first quarter of 2006;
    * Services revenues, including reimbursed expenses, increased 69% to $43.3 million compared to $25.6 million during the first quarter of 2006;
    * Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were up 57% to $0.11 compared to $0.07 per share during the first quarter of 2006;
    * Non-GAAP earnings per share (formerly called cash earnings per share or Cash EPS as defined in the schedule that reconciles to GAAP EPS which accompanies this release) on a fully diluted basis were up 60% to $0.16 compared to $0.10 per share during the first quarter of 2006;
    * Net income was up 88% to $3.2 million compared to $1.7 million during the first quarter of 2006;
    * Non-GAAP net income was up 92% to $4.8 million compared to $2.5 million during the first quarter of 2006;
    * EBITDA (a non GAAP measure, see attached schedule which reconciles to GAAP net income and net cash flows from operating activities) was up 84% to $6.8 million compared to $3.7 million during the first quarter of 2006. EBITDA included GAAP non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $1.6 million and $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively;
    * Gross margin for services revenue was 37.8% compared to 34.7% in the first quarter of 2006. Gross profit for services revenue included GAAP non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $365,000 and $232,000 in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gross margin for services revenue excluding stock compensation expense was 38.6% compared to 35.6% in the first quarter of 2006; and
    * Gross margin for software revenue was 16.8% compared to 14.7% in the first quarter of 2006.

"The first quarter was another record for Perficient, with 69% year-over-year growth in services revenue and record profitability," said Jack McDonald, Perficient's chairman and chief executive. "We expanded our geographic footprint with the acquisition of E-Tech Solutions, and enter the second quarter at an annualized revenue run-rate of more than $200 million. Our acquisition pipeline has never been stronger and we continue to execute aggressively against our growth goals. Moreover, we are beginning to see the benefits of operating leverage and scale on our bottom line, which should positively impact profitability in the second quarter."

"We continue to execute strongly against key operating metrics," said Jeffrey Davis, Perficient's president and chief operating officer. "Rising average bill rates, coupled with utilization that remained strong helped increase EBITDA margins excluding stock compensation from 14.8% to 16.6% year over year. Strong cash flow, coupled with increased diligence around DSO collections, left us with just $2.9 million of debt, even after accounting for the acquisition of E-Tech Solutions and the payment of year-end bonuses. We're well-positioned for another year of strong growth from our existing business in 2007."

Other First Quarter Highlights:

Among other achievements in the first quarter, Perficient:

    * Completed the acquisition of E-Tech Solutions, a transaction that added a significant presence in the northeastern United States;
    * Added new customer relationships and follow-on projects with leading companies and government agencies including: Affinia, AG Edwards, Berry Plastics, Centene, Classified Ventures, Cord Blood Registry, Erie Insurance, Fiskars Brands, Highmark, Johnson Controls, Luxxotica, NetJets, Royal Carribean, The Capital Group, Johnson Controls and many others;
    * Posted its 15th consecutive quarter of positive net income and earnings per share;
    * Completed and filed our Form 10-K annual report on March 5th, 2007, which included the Company's and its external audit firm's unqualified opinion on internal controls, eliminating the 'material weakness' opinion included in our 2005 Form 10-K annual report filing; and
    * Was named a "Hidden Gem" in the March 1st, 2007 edition of the Wall Street Journal.

Business Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.

The company expects its second quarter 2007 services and software revenue, including reimbursed expenses, to be in the range of $48.5 million to $51.2 million, comprised of $46.9 million to $49.3 million of revenue from services including reimbursed expenses and $1.6 million to $1.9 million of revenue from sales of software. The guidance range of services revenue including reimbursed expenses would represent services revenue growth of 34.9% to 41.3% over the second quarter of 2006.

PRFT update:
Merger Monster Since 2004 Sees Benefits from Market Slowdown

Having just completed its 12th acquisition since 2004, Perficient, Inc. (PRFT) was recently ranked ninth as Fortune 500's 'Fastest Growing Small Public Companies' for 2007. As a result of its largest-to-date acquisition of Boldtech, the company is now poised to meet revenue guidance, and with the more recent acquisition of ePairs Inc., to address the market's Oracle-Siebel's talent supply constraints. The technology information consulting firm stated that it will now be more rigorously pursuing enterprise accounts in 2008 as the market works its way through the current state of economic uncertainty. The Company reported revenues
of $53M, and beat consensus EPS estimates by reporting adjusted earnings of 21c per share. Moving toward a goal of $500M by the end of 2010, the company leaves the quarter with no outstanding debts and is backed by a strong 4Q M&A pipeline, along with $10M in cash
flow and $50M available under its credit facility to complete future deals.
During its earnings conference call, CEO Jack McDonald explained that the reason the company did not meet analysts revenue expectations despite 40% year-over-year cash EPS growth for the quarter was due largely to about $4M worth of projects that were unexpectedly canceled
by one of its larger accounts. Minus additional acquisitions, the company still expects to be within range of $0.90 to a $1.00, and the current game plan is to process another three to for acquisitions next year to add roughly $50M in revenue. With so much activity on the M&A front
since 2004, Perficient believes its strategy stands to benefit from the market's current slowdown. With the crumbling of private equity, there hasn't been much competition for deals, and the valuations are looking attractive, with deals at lower EBITDA multiples. Since Perficient trades at about 19 times EBITDA, there appears to be opportunity to leverage
earnings from M&A deals. Said McDonald, "There aren't a lot of strategic buyers that are going after these sub-$25 million acquisitions.
If anything, a little bit of slowdown in the market is a good thing in terms of putting reality into the minds of folks that have businesses and probably makes them more apt to look favorably at an acquisition and see the benefits of being part of a larger organization with more established client relationships, stronger partnerships and a bigger sales channel.

So, all in all, it's a more positive environment on the M&A front, probably marginally more positive than it's been over the past 12 to 18 months."
