FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PDG Environmental Announces Third Quarter Results
PITTSBURGH, PA, December 14, 2007 PDG Environmental, Inc. (OTC BB: PDGE), a leading provider of environmental remediation and specialty contracting services, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended October 31, 2007.
Revenue for the quarter was $26.6 million, up 34.5% from the $19.8 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The company reported a net after-tax loss of $(1.0) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with a net loss of $(2.0) million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The loss for the current quarter was due to negative margin adjustments of approximately $1.8 million, including a $0.8 million loss on an asbestos contract performed in the third quarter. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was a negative $(0.2) million for the current quarter versus a negative $(0.6) million for the comparable period in fiscal 2007. SG&A and other direct costs as a percent of revenue decreased to 23.5% for the current quarter as compared to 29.9% for the comparable quarter last year although the costs increased $0.35 million largely related to increased selling costs, initial implementation costs for Sarbanes Oxley, and higher legal costs. In the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and third quarter of fiscal 2007, PDG Environmental recorded non-cash accounting costs of $0.2 million related to its July 2005 private placement. The third quarter of fiscal 2007 also included $0.15 million in one-time charges related to employee fraud and $0.1 million for a non-cash impairment charge for goodwill, while the current quarter included other income of $0.2 million largely related to the partial insurance recovery from the fraud claim. Fully diluted shares outstanding rose to 20.7 million from 20.4 million.
For the nine months ended October 31, 2007, revenue rose to $74.9 million, up 28.0% versus the $58.6 million recorded during the same period in the prior fiscal year. PDG Environmental reported net after-tax loss of $0.18 million for the nine month period, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $(5.4) million, or $(0.28) per share, last year. EBITDA improved to $2.8 million from a negative $(2.2) million last year due to the increased level of revenues. SG&A and other direct costs decreased by $0.65 million in spite of being adversely impacted by the increased costs in the third quarter noted above. The non-cash accounting cost of the July 2005 private placement totaled $0.7 million in fiscal 2008 versus $1.9 million in fiscal 2007. Fiscal 2007 also included $0.7 million in one-time charges related to employee fraud, while fiscal 2008 included other income of $0.3 million largely related to the insurance recovery from the fraud claim. Fully diluted shares outstanding rose to 20.6 million from 19.5 million in fiscal 2007.
“While we are very pleased with the top line growth we have experienced this fiscal year, we are obviously very disappointed with our bottom line results which were adversely impacted by losses on a single project performed this quarter. Prospectively we have put in place new policies and procedures to mitigate the level of contract adjustments noted above. With backlog remaining at

 


 

$50 million, over half of which is reconstruction related, and with additional controls in place we look forward to improved results going forward,” said John C. Regan, chairman and chief executive officer of PDG Environmental.
Conference Call
PDG Environmental will host a conference call on December 14, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern. During the call, John C. Regan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Nick Battaglia, Chief Financial Officer, will discuss the Company’s quarterly performance and financial results. The telephone number for the conference call is 1-888 339-9446.
Investors will be able to access an encore recording of the conference call for one week by calling 1-800-406-7325, conference ID# 3814622. The encore recording will be available two hours after the conference call has concluded.
The company makes use of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as a financial measure which it believes is a useful performance indicator. EBITDA is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP,” and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or net cash provided by operating activities, which are GAAP measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income/(loss) appears at the end of this release, as do both actual results for the quarter and year-to-date periods.
