Willdan Reports Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results
ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Willdan Group, Inc. ("Willdan") (Nasdaq: WLDN) , today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 28, 2013.
For the second quarter of 2013, Willdan reported total contract revenue of $20.5 million and net income of $0.7 million, or $0.09 per share.
Tom Brisbin, Willdan's Chief Executive Officer, stated: "While our second quarter revenue was lower than last year, I'm pleased to report that we generated positive cash flow and earnings for the quarter.

Our energy projects began to ramp up during the second quarter as planned and we expect revenue growth and higher levels of profitability in the second half of 2013."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by Willdan's management to measure its operating performance. Willdan defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment, lease abandonment expense, net and other non-recurring income and expense items occurring in such period. Willdan's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from those of many companies reporting similarly named measures. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, such as net income. Willdan believes Adjusted EBITDA enables management to separate non-recurring income and expense items from its results of operations to provide a more normalized and consistent view of operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Willdan uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance for, among other things, budgeting, forecasting and incentive compensation purposes. Willdan also believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors, research analysts, investment bankers and lenders because it removes the impact of certain non-recurring income and expense items from its operational results, which may facilitate comparison of its results from period to period.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income from operations or net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.8 million to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 28, 2013 from $(6.3) million for the comparable period last year.
