COMMAND SECURITY CORPORATION REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS

FOR NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015

 

Herndon, VA***February 16, 2016***Command Security Corporation (NYSE MKT: MOC) today reported its financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015.

 

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were $33.5 million compared with revenues of $34.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $3.4 million (10.1% of revenues) compared with $5.0 million (14.5% of revenues) for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Operating loss for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $1.0 million compared with operating income of $0.4 million (1.0% of revenues) for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $0.7 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share outstanding, compared with net income of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

 

Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 were $101.6 million compared with revenues of $106.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. Gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was $12.8 million (12.6% of revenues) compared with $15.2 million (14.3% of revenues) for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. Operating loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was $2.1 million compared with operating income of $2.1 million (1.9% of revenues) for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. Net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was $1.3 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share outstanding, compared with net income of $1.3 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share outstanding for the nine months ended December 31, 2014.

 

Changes in revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2015, included decreases in security services from California based technology companies, New York based healthcare facilities, construction related services and other commercial, industrial and residential customers. These decreases were partly offset by increases in aviation related services with several domestic and international airlines operating primarily in New York and California.

 

The decrease in revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to a reduction of revenues from a major transportation company following the loss of a Western region security services contract with the customer effective May 31, 2014, a net reduction in revenues at New York based healthcare facilities, California based technology companies, and various other commercial, industrial and residential customers. These decreases were partly offset by increases in aviation related services with several domestic and international airlines operating primarily in New York and California.

 

 
 

 

The decrease in operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2014, was driven primarily by an increase in workers compensation costs and decreases in revenues from certain groups of customers as noted above. These decreases were partially offset by increases in aviation related services with several domestic and international airlines and reductions of certain operating expenses.

 

The decrease in operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2014, was driven primarily by a $1.4 million provision in our fiscal second quarter related to the settlement of a California class action lawsuit, a $1.1 million increase in workers compensation costs as described below, a net reduction in revenues from New York based healthcare facilities, the loss of the Western region security services contract with a major transportation company, and decreases in revenues from other commercial, industrial and residential customers, partly offset by a decrease in certain operating expenses.

 

The decreases in net income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same periods of the prior year were due to the above mentioned decrease in operating income and a decrease in equity earnings of Ocean Protection Services (OPS), partly offset by a reduction in income taxes. The decreases in the earnings of OPS for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same periods of the prior year were the result of an overall decline in shipping in high risk regions, a reduction in total missions as well as changes in the number and composition of assigned security personnel. 

 

The non-cash adjustment to the Company’s workers compensation reserves of $1.1 million was in large part due to the change on October 1, 2014 from a carrier managed claims program to a third party administrator (TPA) managed program and the change of the Company’s workers compensation insurance carrier. Under the former carrier managed claims approach, the carriers controlled day-to-day claim management activities, including the estimation of total future claim costs, management and settlement strategies. Under our current TPA managed program, the Company retains a greater level of influence and control over the planning and oversight of decisions regarding day-to-day management of claims, estimating total and future estimated costs, developing and managing settlement strategies and activities designed to lead to a more timely and efficient resolution of claims. An element of this initiative includes developing a more timely and accurate acknowledgement of the eventual total cost of each claim. The Company believes these improved management practices and the TPA managed program will help to mitigate increases in workers’ compensation costs in future years. However, these changes have led to an acceleration of the recognition of costs earlier in the life of a claim.

 

Craig P. Coy, Chief Executive Officer of Command Security, said, “We continue to see positive progress on the major challenges that have faced the Company. During the last nine months, we have resolved a major class action lawsuit similar to those impacting most security companies in California, and addressed two other major law suits which combined have adversely impacted the Company by approximately $2 million. In addition, over the past year we have aggressively improved our oversight and management of our workers compensation program by revamping our management practices and insurance carrier arrangements which has contributed to the $1.1 million non-cash adjustment. We believe these improvements will serve to mitigate increases in workers’ compensation costs in future years. Our efforts to garner new, larger contracts are beginning to show success and we continue to remain confident that the U S. Postal Service delay will be resolved in the near term. Our entire team has labored diligently through increased operational tempos for the holiday surge season and through challenging weather events. Their dedication and our commitment to serving our customers remains a hallmark of our culture and bodes well for our future.”
