Results of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to the
quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Revenue. Revenue increased $1,344,000, or 7.8%, to $18,497,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2008, from $17,153,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007.
Our Fitness Management segment declined $301,000, reflecting a decline in
staffing services of $340,000 and growth in program services of $39,000. The
decline in staffing services for the third quarter is primarily due to contract
terminations in 2007.
Our Health Management segment contributed total growth of $1,646,000, which
includes growth of $536,000 from staffing services and growth of $1,110,000 from
program services. Overall, the growth in staffing revenue is attributable to new
customers and the expansion of services to existing customers. The increase in
program services revenue is primarily due to new and existing customers in the
areas of biometric screening services, health coaching and advising services and
eHealth platform participation.
During the third quarter of 2008, we secured four new health management
commitments and two new fitness management commitments, which combined may
realize annualized revenue of $1.7 million. This growth will be partially offset
by a potential annualized revenue loss of $1.1 million from fitness and health
management contract cancellations.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $1,102,000, or 22.6%, to $5,987,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2008, from $4,885,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2007. Total gross margin increased to 32.4% from 28.5% for
the same period last year.
Of this increase in gross profit, our Fitness Management segment grew $95,000,
which includes growth of $180,000 from staffing services and a decline of
$85,000 from program services. Gross margin for our Fitness Management segment
increased to 24.9%, from 23.3% for the same period of 2007. This result is
primarily due to a gross margin increase for staffing services, which increased
to 24.3%, from 21.7%, reduced by a decrease in gross margin for program
services, which decreased to 33.8% from 50.7%. The margin increase for staffing
services is primarily due to lower costs for employee paid time off and medical
benefits, in addition to expense savings for equipment maintenance, group
classes, operating supplies and liability insurance. The margin decrease for
program services is primarily due to higher costs to deliver site-based personal
training and massage therapy services.
Our Health Management segment contributed gross profit growth of $1,008,000,
which includes growth of $244,000 from staffing services and growth of $764,000
from program services. Gross margin for our Health Management segment increased
to 41.8% from 37.0%. This increase is due to a gross margin increase for program
services, which increased to 59.1% from 54.8%, and a gross margin increase for
staffing services, which increased to 28.1%, from 25.8%. The increase in gross
margin for program services is primarily due to revenue growth and productivity
enhancements related to biometric screenings and health coaching and advising
services. The increased margin for staffing services is primarily due to revenue
growth, lower costs for employee paid time off and expense savings for marketing
initiatives, operating supplies and staff training.
Operating Expenses and Operating Income. Operating expenses decreased $175,000,
or 3.8%, to $4,478,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from
$4,653,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
This decrease is due primarily to a $350,000, or 19.1%, decrease in other
selling, general, and administrative expenses reduced by a $175,000, or 6.3%,
increase in salaries. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative
expenses reflects prior year cost increases to evaluate and improve corporate
governance and compliance procedures and non-recurring legal and business
consulting costs. The increase in salaries expense primarily reflects annual
wage increases and the expense increases related to our equity incentive
performance program, reduced by lower stock based compensation costs.
Operating margin increased to 8.2% for the third quarter 2008, from 1.3% for the
same period 2007. This increase is primarily due to improved gross margins for
Fitness Management staffing services, improved gross margins for our Health
Management segment, and the elimination of one-time, non-recurring expenses we
incurred during the third quarter of 2007.
Other Income and Expense. Interest expense was inconsequential during the
quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $458,000 to $651,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2008, from $193,000 for the same period last year.
The increase is primarily due to higher operating income for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 as compared to same period of 2007, reduced by a prior year
tax expense adjustment of $94,000 resulting from a change in estimated 2006
income taxes payable.
Our effective tax rate was 43.6% of earnings before income taxes for the third
quarter of 2008, compared to 45% for the same period last year (excluding the
prior year tax expense adjustment for the change in estimate for 2006
income taxes payable). Compared to a normal effective tax rate of 41%, our
current effective tax rate is slightly higher due primarily to the
non-deductibility of compensation expense for incentive stock options.
Net Earnings. As a result of the above, net earnings for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 increased approximately $824,000 to $841,000, compared to net
earnings of $17,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Revenue. Revenue increased $5,293,000, or 10.4%, to $56,015,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, from $50,722,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007.
Our Fitness Management segment declined $612,000, which included a decline in
staffing services of $599,000 and a decline in program services of $13,000. This
revenue decline is primarily due to contract terminations in 2007.
Our Health Management segment contributed total growth of $5,905,000, which
includes growth of $1,800,000 from staffing services and growth of $4,105,000
from program services. Overall, the growth in staffing services revenue is
attributable to new customers and the expansion of services to existing
customers. The increase in program services revenue is primarily due to new and
existing customers in the areas of biometric screening services, health coaching
and advising services and eHealth platform participation.
During the first nine months of 2008, we received a total of 15 health
management commitments and expanded services with two existing health management
customers. In addition, we received two fitness management commitments and
expanded services with four fitness management customers. Combined commitment
and service-expansion activity for the first nine months of 2008 may realize
annualized revenue of $6.1 million, to be partially offset by a potential
annualized revenue loss of $1.7 million from contract cancellations.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $2,416,000, or 16.7%, to $16,866,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $14,450,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007. Total gross margin increased to 30.1%, from 28.5% for
the same period last year, which is primarily due to Health Management revenue
representing a larger percentage of our total revenue.
Of this increase in gross profit, our Fitness Management segment increased
$348,000, which includes an increase of $544,000 from staffing services and a
decline of $196,000 from program services. Gross margin for our Fitness
Management segment increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to
24.1%, from 22.5% for the same period of 2007. This result is primarily due to a
gross margin increase in staffing services, which increased to 23.3%, from 21.0%
for the same period last year. Gross profit for program services decreased from
46.2% to 36.1%. The margin increase for staffing services is primarily due to
lower costs for employee paid time off and medical benefits, in addition to
expense savings for group classes and liability insurance. The margin decrease
for program services is primarily due to higher costs to deliver site-based
personal training and massage therapy services.
Our Health Management segment contributed gross profit growth of $2,068,000,
which includes growth of $498,000 from staffing services and growth of
$1,570,000 from program services. Gross margin for our Health Management segment
declined in the first nine months from 38.4% to 37.6%. This result is due to a
gross margin decrease for program services, which declined to 51.5%, from 58.9%
in the same period last year, reduced by a gross margin increase for staffing
services, which increased to 25.8%, from 25.5% in the same period last year. The
gross margin increase for staffing services is primarily due to revenue growth
and lower costs for employee paid time off and operating expense savings. The
decrease in gross margin for program services is primarily due to the cost of
additional screening and health coaching staff we hired in late 2007 to meet
forecasted demand for these services. As we experience additional growth in
program services revenue, we believe that margins will improve commensurately.
Operating Expenses and Operating Income. Operating expenses increased
$1,202,000, or 9.3%, to $14,158,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008, from $12,956,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
This increase is due to a $1,130,000, or 14.4%, increase in salaries, and a
$72,000, or 1.4%, increase in other selling, general and administrative
expenses. These increases are primarily due to planned investments we made
subsequent to the first quarter of 2007 to strengthen our management
infrastructure in certain operating areas, including Research, Development and
Outcomes, Information Technology and Account Services, in order to support our
future revenue growth plans.
Operating margin increased to 4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
from 3.0% for the same period 2007. This increase is primarily due to health
management revenue growth and improved margins on staffing services for both
Health and Fitness management.
Other Income and Expense. Interest expense was inconsequential for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $392,000 to $1,159,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, from $767,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. The increase is primarily due to higher operating income for
the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the same period last year, reduced
by a prior year tax expense adjustment of $94,000 resulting from a change in
estimated 2006 income taxes payable.
Our effective tax rate was 43% of earnings before income taxes for the first
nine months of 2008, compared to 45% for the same period last year (excluding
the prior year tax expense adjustment for the change in estimate for 2006 income
taxes payable). Compared to a normal effective tax rate of 41%, our current
effective tax rate is higher due primarily to the non-deductibility of
compensation expense for incentive stock options.
Net Earnings. As a result of the above, net earnings for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 increased approximately $827,000 to $1,529,000, compared to
net earnings of $702,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our working capital increased $438,000 to $8,898,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, from $8,460,000 at December 31, 2007. This increase is
primarily due to the effect of seasonal business growth reduced by $2.3 million
of cash outlays to repurchase common shares outstanding in the three months
ended June 30, 2008, as discussed previously in Note 6.
In addition to cash flows generated from operating activities, our other primary
source of liquidity and working capital is provided by a $7,500,000 Credit
Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Wells Loan"). At our option, the
Wells Loan bears interest at prime, or the one-month LIBOR plus a margin of
2.25% to 2.75% based upon our Senior Leverage Ratio (effective rate of 5.00% and
7.25% at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively). The
availability of the Wells Loan decreases $250,000 on the last day of each
calendar quarter (to a floor of $3,250,000), beginning September 30, 2003, and
matures on September 30, 2009, as amended. Working capital advances from the
Wells Loan are based upon a percentage of our eligible accounts receivable, less
any amounts drawn and outstanding. The facility provided maximum borrowing
capacity of $3,250,000 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. No debt was outstanding at September 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007. All borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. At
September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants.
On a short and long-term basis, we believe that sources of capital to meet our
obligations will be provided by cash generated through operations and the Wells
Loan. We also believe that our current and available resources will enable us to
finance our working capital needs without having to raise additional capital.
INFLATION
We do not believe that inflation has significantly impacted our results of
operations in any of the last three completed fiscal years.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements or
transactions with unconsolidated, limited purpose entities.
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for forward-looking statements. Such "forward-looking" information is included
in this Form 10-Q, including Item 2 of Part I, as well as in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 that was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other materials filed or to be filed
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as
information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to
be made by the Company).
Forward-looking statements include all statements based on future expectations
and specifically include, among other things, our belief that margins will
improve commensurately as we experience additional growth in program services
revenue, statements relating to forecasted future demand of our screening and
health coaching services, statements relating to our planned investments made to
strengthen our management infrastructure in order to support our future revenue
growth plans, our belief that sources of capital to meet our obligations will be
provided by cash generated through operations and the Wells Loan, and our belief
that our current and available resources will enable us to finance our working
capital needs without having to raise additional capital, as well as statements
regarding increasing revenue, improving margins, marketing efforts, competitive
conditions, the effect of price competition and changes to the economy, the
sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources, and our share repurchase
plan. In addition, the estimated annualized revenue value of our new and lost
contracts is a forward looking statement, which is based upon an estimate of the
anticipated annualized revenue to be realized or lost.
Such information should be used only as an indication of the activity we have
recently experienced in our two business segments. These estimates, when
considered together, should not be considered an indication of the total net,
incremental revenue growth we expect to generate in any year, as actual net
growth may differ from these estimates due to actual staffing levels,
participation rates and contract duration, in addition to other revenue we may
lose in the future due to contract termination. Any statements that are not
based upon historical facts, including the outcome of events that have not yet
occurred and our expectations for future performance, are forward-looking
statements. The words "potential," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend,"
"may," "could," "will," "plan," "anticipate," and similar words and expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based
upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management. Such
forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that
could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly,
such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements
made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to, our inability to deliver the health management services
demanded by major corporations and other clients, the level of demand for our
services, customer acceptance of higher service pricing, our inability to
successfully cross-sell health management services to our fitness management
clients, our inability to successfully obtain new business opportunities, our
failure to have sufficient resources to make investments, our ability to make
investments and implement strategies successfully, our ability to limit and
manage expenses, continued delays in obtaining new commitments and implementing
services, and those matters identified and discussed in Item 1A of the Company's
Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Item 1A of Part II of this
Form 10-Q under "Risk Factors."
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks related to changes in U.S. and international
interest rates. The company's borrowings under the Wells Fargo Line of Credit
bear interest at a variable rate. There were no borrowings outstanding under the
Wells Fargo Line of Credit at September 30, 2008.
We have no history of, nor do we anticipate in the future, investing in
derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other such
financial instruments. We invoice our Canadian customers in their local
currency, and such transactions are considered immaterial in relation to our
total billings. As a result, the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and
other market risks is not material.
