TSR, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSRI), a provider of computer programming consulting services, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended February 29, 2020.
For the quarter ended February 29, 2020, revenue decreased 4.3% from the same quarter last year to $14.1 million. Net loss attributable to TSR for the third quarter was $945,000 as compared to net loss attributable to TSR of $676,000 in the prior year quarter. The third quarter included recognizing an $818,000 expense to finalize long standing issues with the Company’s largest investor. Net loss per share for the third quarter was $0.48 compared to net loss per share of $0.34 in the prior year quarter.
Bradley Tirpak, Chairman, stated, “During the quarter, five members of the Board resigned in accordance with the Settlement Agreement entered into in August 2019. The new Board, consisting on Tim Eriksen, Robert Fitzgerald and myself have been working diligently to improve the Company. We are committed to working with and for shareholders rather than spending money to fight against them. As part of that we have implemented a number of changes, including appointing Thomas Salerno CEO and settling the matter with the Company’s largest investor.”
Thomas Salerno, CEO, stated, “Revenue decreased 4.3% for the third quarter. The revenue decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the number of consultants on billing with customers and a decrease in average billing rates for IT consultants on billing with customers resulting from a shift in business mix with fewer placements for high end skills. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $224,000 for the quarter. The increase in SG&A was due to a settlement with the Company’s largest shareholder, with an estimated present value of $818,000, to reimburse expenses incurred during its solicitations in connection with the Company’s annual meeting in 2018 and 2019, the costs incurred in connection with litigation initiated by and against the Company, as well as execution and enforcement of the Settlement and Release Agreement by and between the Company, the shareholder and certain other parties. There was also a decrease in the Company’s professional and advisory fees of $625,000 due to the settlement of various lawsuits and the contested proxy solicitation relating to our 2018 annual meeting, which had been rescheduled and was held on October 22, 2019. Additionally, our business is holding up well in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, in excess of 95% of our IT consultants and 75% of our administrative workers on billing with customers have been able to transition to working from home. However, there can be no assurance that the customers will continue this arrangement.”
Bradley Tirpak stated, “COVID has presented unique challenges for all businesses, including ours. I am extremely thankful that, thus far, all of our employees have remained healthy. I applaud their efforts to adjust during this difficult time.”
The Company will file its Form 10-Q for the quarter and nine months ended February 29, 2020 today with further details at www.sec.gov.
