Press Release

PRGX Global, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2018 Financial Results

ATLANTA, May 1, 2018—PRGX Global, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRGX), a global leader in Recovery Audit and Spend Analytics services, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018.

“The year is off to a great start with continued momentum and our seventh straight quarter of year-over-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth. Revenue in the first quarter grew over 9% and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations grew over 52%. Our core recovery audit business led the way, delivering growth across each region and service line. While we continue to make strategic investments in people, processes and technology, our growth in adjusted EBITDA is a testament to our past investments and the benefits of scale in our operating model,” said Ron Stewart, president and chief executive officer.

“We entered the second quarter with a solid sales pipeline across the business, driven by stronger technology solutions and improved go-to-market capabilities, which together have made us more competitive across the globe. Given our overall positive performance in the quarter, we remain confident in our 2018 guidance of year-over-year revenue growth in the range of 8% to 10% and adjusted EBITDA growth in the range of 17% to 22%,” concluded Stewart.

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2018 was $36.7 million, compared to $33.6 million for the same period last year, an increase of 9.4%. First quarter 2018 revenue from the Recovery Audit Services segments was $36.0 million compared to $32.2 million in the prior year, and from the Adjacent Services segment was $0.7 million compared to $1.4 million in 2017. On a constant dollar basis adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, revenue increased by 5.7% in the first quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in the prior year. On a constant dollar basis, revenue from the Recovery Audit Services segments increased 8.1% in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Total cost of revenue from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2018 was $24.8 million, or 67.6% of revenue, compared to $23.0 million, or 68.5% of revenue, in the same period last year, representing a 0.9% improvement as a percentage of revenue.

SG&A expenses from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2018 were $11.3 million, compared to $10.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to stock- based compensation expense and investments in our sales, marketing and product development teams.

Consolidated net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2018 was $(2.3) million, or $(0.10) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(1.8) million, or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2017.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2018 was $3.3 million, or 9.0% of revenue, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 million, or 6.4% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.1 million or 52.0%. Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to each of EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2018 was $3.0 million, compared to net cash used of $3.3 million in the first quarter of the prior year. The first quarter 2018 use of operating cash included the payout of $5.4 million related to performance based restricted stock units granted in 2016. Excluding this payout, cash flow from operating activities was $2.4 million, an improvement of $5.8 million compared to the prior year.

At March 31, 2018, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $15.0 million, and borrowings of $13.6 million against its $35.0 million revolving credit facility.

In addition to historical information, this press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include both implied and express statements regarding the Company’s overall condition and growth prospects, the Company’s execution of its business strategy, the benefits of past investments and scale in the Company’s operating model, the Company’s sales pipeline, and the Company’s expectations regarding its 2018 financial performance.

Risks that could affect the Company’s future performance include revenue that does not meet expectations or justify costs incurred, the Company’s ability to develop material sources of new revenue in addition to revenue from its core recovery audit services, changes in the market for the Company’s services, the Company’s ability to retain and attract qualified personnel, the Company’s ability to integrate recent and future acquisitions, uncertainty in the credit markets, the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with its financial covenants, client bankruptcies, loss of major clients, and other risks generally applicable to the Company’s business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are all “non-GAAP financial measures” presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance. They are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The Company believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating its performance over time, and that the rating agencies and a number of lenders use EBITDA and similar measures for similar purposes. In addition, a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is used in the restrictive covenants contained in the Company’s secured credit facility. However, EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, as described above, the adjustments may vary from period to period and in the future the Company will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Schedule 3 to this press release provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to each of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
