ENGlobal Reports Record Revenue and Profit;
Revenue Growth Exceeds 30%
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2003--ENGlobal Corporation
(Amex:ENG), a leading provider of engineering services and engineered
systems, today reported financial results that include record
quarterly revenues of approximately $30 million, a 31% increase over
second quarter 2002 revenues. The Company also reported record profits
for the quarter, with net income showing a 7% increase when compared
to the second quarter 2002. Earnings for the quarter equaled two cents
per common share.
On a sequential basis, the comparisons are also favorable, as
second quarter 2003 revenues outpaced the first quarter by 27% and net
income increased 5%. ENGlobal's results were primarily driven by a
strong performance in its engineering services segment, resulting from
the award of several new contracts and the onset of a new phase of a
large project.
While consolidated gross profits showed a 10.3% increase as
compared to the second quarter 2002, as a percentage of revenues,
gross profits declined from 17.3% to 14.6% in the second quarter 2003.
Procurement activities on a major EPC project, which commenced in the
second quarter 2003, contributed $4.8 million of the $30 million
revenue increase reported above. However, these large material
purchases generally have a lower markup, deflating the overall gross
profits of the Company. It is important to note, however, that the
margin for our core business, engineering services, after excluding
the procurement activities, increased to 18.5% from 16.6% reported for
the second quarter 2002.
Mike Burrow, Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are pleased to report
yet another profitable quarter, despite a weak marketplace in both the
petrochemical and pipeline arenas. Our business development activity
is in high gear, which I believe is a big contributor to our current
success. Going forward, we plan to implement an aggressive growth
strategy that will complement our current business development
efforts." Mr. Burrow further commented, "To illustrate the growth in
the engineering side of our business, during the last quarter we
opened a new office in Freeport, and relocated our offices in both
Lake Charles and Tulsa, all in an effort to better serve our clients
in those areas."
ENGlobal has recorded a webcast in conjunction with today's
release to allow securities analysts, shareholders, news media and the
