Hebron, KY – May 18, 2009 – Pomeroy IT Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PMRY) an information technology ("IT") solutions provider with a comprehensive portfolio of hardware, software, technical staffing services, as well as infrastructure and lifecycle services, today reported revenues of $89.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $145.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The reported first quarter 2009 net loss of $(0.6) million, or $(0.06) per share compares to a first quarter 2008 net loss of $(4.2) million, or $(0.35) per share.

Chris Froman, President and CEO of Pomeroy IT Solutions, said “In spite of a soft demand environment, and a significant reduction in customer’s capital spending, I am proud of our execution and continued improvement in critical areas of the business. Our gross profit margin of 14.5% represents a year to year improvement of 370 basis points, service gross profit increased over first quarter 2008 even though we intentionally reduced our staffing business, and operating expenses declined 31%. These efforts contributed to our fourth consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA.”

“Our cash flow and cash management was exceptional, and we continue to operate the Company with no long term debt. In recognition of the ongoing economic climate and likely softness in product sales, we are continuing to make necessary adjustments to our operating expenses, and we remain focused on improving profitability” added Froman.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

First Quarter 2009 versus First Quarter 2008

Total Net Revenues: Total net revenues decreased $55.7 million or 38.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. For the first quarters of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, the net revenues were $89.5 million and $145.2 million, respectively.

Product revenues were $53.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease of $28.3 million or 34.8% from the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in revenue was primarily generated by a reduction in capital expenditures of large customers within the Financial, Manufacturing and Retail markets. These expenditures were previously approved in the current year budgets but were delayed due to ongoing economic uncertainty.

Service revenues were $36.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease of $27.4 million or 43.0% from the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company groups services sales into Technical Staffing and Infrastructure Services. Technical Staffing Services support clients’ project requirements, ensures regulatory and customer compliance requirements and fulfills interim and permanent staffing requirements of the staffing projects. Infrastructure Services help clients optimize the various elements of distributed computing environments. Encompassing the complete IT lifecycle, these services include desktop and mobile computing, server and network environments.

	(in millions)
	Quarter ended April 5,
Service Revenue	2009		2008
Technical Staffing	$	7.6	$	32.5
Infrastructure Services		28.7		31.2
Total Service Revenue	$	36.3	$	63.7

Technical Staffing revenue decreased $24.9 million, or 76.6%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. In June 2008, the Company elected not to renew a technical services contract with a major customer because the proposed terms would have been unprofitable for the Company. As a result of the loss of this business, we expect a decline of approximately $80 million in technical staffing revenue for the full year in fiscal 2009. Technical Staffing revenue accounted for approximately 21.0% of total service revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 51.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Infrastructure Service revenues decreased $2.5 million, or 8.0%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, primarily due to a decline in short-term project engagements and a loss contract which was exited at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Infrastructure Service revenues accounted for approximately 79.0% of total service revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 49.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Gross Profit: Gross profit was $13.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $15.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross profit margin, as a percentage of revenue, was 14.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to 10.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Product gross profit was $5.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $8.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Product gross profit margin as a percentage of product revenues increased slightly to 10.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to 10.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Service gross profit was $7.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $7.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Service gross profit margins were 20.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to 11.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

	(in millions)
	Quarter ended April 5,
Service Gross Profit	2009		2008
Technical Staffing	$	1.2	$	2.6
Infrastructure Services		6.2		4.7
Total Service Gross Profit	$	7.4	$	7.3

Gross profit from Technical Staffing Services was $1.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross profit margin increased to 16.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from 8.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in gross profit dollars and increase in gross margin is primarily the result of the non-renewal of the technical services contract with a major customer in June 2008 which would have been unprofitable for the Company. We expect a decline in technical staffing gross profit of approximately $6.2 million for the full year in fiscal 2009.

Gross profit from Infrastructure Services was $6.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $4.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross profit margin increased to 21.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from 15.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in gross profit margin is the result of engagements during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 that generated revenue of approximately $1.4 million at zero gross profit and cost reductions in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2008 resulting in improved utilization and productivity of the technical resources.

Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses were $13.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $19.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $6.1 million or 31.3%. The decrease is primarily the result of the following:

In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded a $1.0 million charge to reserve against the collection of Technical Staffing Services revenues that were overbilled by subcontractors in 2005 and 2006. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company reversed $0.2 million of this charge after reevaluating the amounts overbilled.

Severance charges for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $0.1 million compared to severance charges of $0.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

The provision for bad debts decreased from $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Selling expenses were reduced by $0.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of decreased revenues.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded accruals for loss contracts of $0.3 million, as well as a $0.3 million start-up penalty for a new contract.

Payroll and payroll related expenses decreased approximately $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008 due to reductions in staffing support resources which were made as a result of the non-renewal of the Technical Services contract with a major customer in June 2008. In addition the Company made changes in order to right-size the business as a result of the overall decline in revenues.

The decreases in operating expenses described above were partially offset by a $0.4 million charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 associated with the Company’s leased aircraft.

Loss from Operations: Loss from operations decreased $3.4 million, to a loss of $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from a loss of $3.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in loss from operations is the result of the decrease in operating expenses offset by the decrease in revenues, as described above.

Other income (expense): Net other expense was $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $0.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Although the Company has significant cash balances, the Company’s interest expense exceeds its interest income due primarily to outstanding balances under its floor plan and credit facilities at rates that exceed those rates earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents. The decrease in net other expense is primarily the result of a $0.2 million decrease in interest expense for outstanding borrowings under the Company’s credit facility during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008 resulting from the timing of payments of accounts payable and payroll, as well as a lower outstanding floor plan liability during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Income Taxes: For the first quarters of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, the Company had no income tax expense or benefit. During the first quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company increased its tax valuation allowance by $200 thousand and $1.6 million, respectively, due to the future uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize its deferred tax assets.

Net Loss: Net loss was $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in net loss is a result of the factors described above.
