NEW YORK, NY, January 13, 2016 – Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (NYSE-MKT: VISI), a global provider of staffing services and information technology infrastructure services, today reported results for its fourth quarter and full year ended November 1, 2015. Key elements include:

·
Fourth quarter income from continuing operations of $0.1 million or $1.0 million excluding special items; Full year loss from continuing operations of $19.8 million, or $5.5 million excluding special items
 
 
·
Significant progress in ongoing efforts to sell non-core operations during fiscal 2015 including the sale of substantially all of the assets of Volt Telecommunications Group in the fourth quarter, the sale of the Uruguayan publishing and printing business in the third quarter and sale of the computer systems business in the first quarter. Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, the Company completed the sale of its Uruguayan staffing business and today announced plans to sell Maintech, its IT infrastructure services business
 
 
·
Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, the Company implemented a cost reduction plan that included a reduction in workforce of approximately 200 employees. Estimated restructuring charges are expected to be $3.0 million throughout fiscal 2016, with estimated annual cost savings of $10 million
 
 
·
Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, the Company entered into a one-year extension of its $150.0 million Financing Program with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) with an expiration date of January 31, 2017
 
Commenting on Volt’s fourth quarter results, Michael Dean, President and CEO, said, “We ended fiscal 2015 with a productive fourth quarter. We have made meaningful progress in our efforts to stabilize Volt’s financial performance. We were successful in maintaining our book of business and our fourth quarter revenues held steady compared to the prior quarter. Importantly, we also made significant progress on our strategic initiatives to divest non-core assets with the sale of substantially all of the assets of Volt Telecommunications Group and more recently, our Uruguayan staffing business. I’m also pleased to announce that we have commenced the sale process for our last remaining non-core business, Maintech. The divestiture of these assets will enable us to better focus management’s attention on resources and opportunities within our core staffing business where we believe we are better positioned to add value.”

Mr. Dean concluded, “In the fourth quarter, we took concrete steps towards advancing our plan to shore up our balance sheet and provide the foundation for returning Volt to profitable growth. We remain focused on strengthening our liquidity position, reducing expenses and improving our cost structure, as well as reinvesting in the growth of our business. I am confident our efforts will lead to a significant improvement in our financial and operational performance going forward.”

Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
The Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information, which includes adjustments for special items, as additional information for its consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations, segment operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA.  These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and may be different from Non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these Non-GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it permits evaluation of the results of the Company’s continuing operations without the effect of special items that management believes make it more difficult to understand and evaluate the Company’s results of operations.
