2005
DALLAS, March 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Home Solutions of America, Inc.
(AMEX:HOM), a niche provider of specialty residential services, announced today
record fourth quarter and year-end financial results for the period ended
December 31, 2004. The Company generated fourth quarter revenue of $9.0
million, a 164% increase versus the same period in 2003 when Home Solutions had
revenue of $3.4 million. Home Solutions generated $1.8 million of EBITDA
during the fourth quarter versus an EBITDA of $0.2 million during the 2003
fourth quarter. The Company generated 2004 fourth quarter net income of $.9
million or $0.03 per basic share compared to the prior year period net loss of
$(0.4) million or $(0.03) per basic share, before a non recurring item. The
Company's 2004 fourth quarter results were affected by a one-time charge of
$0.01, or one cent per share in part related to not concluding the RAM Home
Warranty transaction.
For the full-year ended December 31, 2004, the Company generated revenue of
$31.1 million, a 122% increase versus $14.0 million in 2003. The Company
generated $4.9 million of EBITDA in 2004, which includes $4.1 million of
operating profit plus $0.8 million of depreciation and amortization versus
fiscal 2003 EBITDA of $0.6 million, which included a net operating loss of
$(0.2) plus $0.8 million of depreciation and amortization. Home Solutions had
net income of $2.6 million or $0.11 per basic share versus a loss of $(0.7)
million, or $(0.06) per basic share for 2003.
"Fiscal year 2004 was a record year for HOM as we experienced strong organic
growth from both segments of our business," said Frank Fradella, Chairman and
CEO of Home Solutions. "Our strategy of identifying rapidly growing,
well-managed companies in the specialty residential services area and
integrating them into our model produced dramatic increases in cash flow and
earnings. Our ability to seamlessly integrate Southern Exposure and Fiber-
Seal into our operations contributed to these improved results. What has us
most excited about 2005 is our already announced acquisition of Cornerstone
Building and Remodeling, Inc., which we expect to complete prior to the end of
the first quarter. This deal will substantially increase the size of our
Company, generate a blue-chip customer base, and provide significant operating
economies. In addition, the acquisition, which will be immediately accretive,
will complement the significant growth opportunities in our existing
businesses, which we expect will grow organically this year by 20%. We have
already begun the year in a strong manner, and we expect this acquisition and
growth across all of our business lines, will deliver another year of record
results."
The Company expects to hold a conference call for the investment community on
April 5, 2005. At that time, it expects to provide a full-year business
outlook for 2005, which is expected to include the acquisition of Cornerstone.
