Argyle Security, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2008 Financial Results

Third Quarter 2008 Adjusted Pro Forma Financial Highlights vs. Third Quarter 2007










SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 14  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Argyle Security, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ARGL), ("Argyle") a service and solutions provider in the physical electronic security industry, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Revenues and gross profit for the third quarter of 2008 were $31.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, compared to $17.1 million of revenues and $3.7 million of gross profit in the third quarter of 2007, which reflected two months of operations. The operating loss was ($20.3) million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 (including the $16.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge), compared to an operating income of $46,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Argyle's net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was ($18.4) million, or ($3.19) per share (basic and diluted) (including the $16.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge), compared to a net loss of ($116,000), or ($0.02) per share (basic and diluted), in the third quarter of 2007.

Revenues and gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $105.8 million and $16.0 million, respectively, compared to $17.1 million of revenues and $3.7 million of gross profit in the third quarter of 2007, which reflected two months of operations. The operating loss was ($21.4) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to an operating loss of ($0.5) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Argyle's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was ($20.1) million, or ($3.51) per share (basic and diluted), compared to a net loss of ($15,000), or ($0.00) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Adjusted Pro Forma Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, Argyle's adjusted pro forma revenues increased by 13%, to $31.7 million, compared to $28.0 million for the same period last year. Adjusted pro forma revenues in Argyle Corrections Group rose by 14.3% to $22.6 million, driven largely by favorable industry trends, retention and expansion of business with existing customers, as well as new customers. Adjusted pro forma revenues in Argyle Commercial Security increased by 10.2% to $9.1 million. Argyle Commercial Security has continued to make investments in its sales force, which are expected to drive both contract and service revenues.

Adjusted pro forma gross profit decreased by 27% to $4.7 million, or 15% of sales, compared to $6.5 million, or 23% of sales, in the comparable period of 2007. The gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 2008 was adversely impacted by higher than expected project cost overruns and an increase in the price of raw materials within the Corrections segment. Commercial margins were unaffected and were up slightly quarter over quarter.

Third-quarter gross margins in Argyle Corrections were negatively impacted by significant cost overruns on several very large correctional jobs within its detention contracting and security electronics businesses, as well as material cost increases at its prison furniture business. The cost overruns are primarily attributable to the Company's failure to adequately scale its project management infrastructure and management, as necessary, due to the significant revenue growth in 2008.  The additional costs were primarily incurred because of our need to provide unanticipated additional training to a large number of new employees, as well as training to expand the skills of our existing employees, and the unexpected overtime required on certain jobs. These issues first became apparent in the first quarter of 2008, and were thought to largely to have been corrected in the second quarter of 2008. Argyle believes that margins will likely begin to improve during the fourth quarter, primarily due to the operational improvements that have been implemented and the cost reduction initiative undertaken during the fourth quarter.

Adjusted pro forma operating expenses were $23.4 million, up 388% from $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2007. In the third quarter of 2008, Argyle recognized a $16.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to its previous acquisitions.   The Company also incurred higher-than-expected legal and accounting fees related to being a public company. Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2008 was ($18.7) million, or (59%) of sales, compared to $1.7 million, or 6% of sales, in the third quarter of 2007.

Pro forma adjusted EBITDA was  ($18.1) million, or (57%) of adjusted pro forma revenues, which includes $16.9 million of non-cash goodwill write-down, compared to the third quarter 2007 pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million, or 8% of revenues. In the third quarter of 2008, adjusted pro forma net income was ($17.3) million, or ($3.01) per diluted share, compared to adjusted pro forma net income of $2.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the prior- year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Argyle's pro forma revenues increased by 47% to $107.5 million, compared to $73.1 million in the same period of 2007. Gross profit increased by 15% to $20.1 million, or 19% of sales, compared to $17.4 million, or 24% of sales, in the nine-month period of 2007.

EBITDA decreased 397% to ($14.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $4.9 million for the same period last year. The comparable EBITDA margin was (14%), compared to 7% last year. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was ($17.0) million, or ($2.96) per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share in the comparable period last year.

Backlog

As of September 30, 2008, net backlog for the Company was $56.1 million, which included Argyle Corrections' backlog of $41.5 million and Argyle Commercial Security's backlog of $14.6 million. New project bookings for ISI Detention, the Company's largest business unit, exceeded $22 million in October, which was more than its bookings year to date through September.

Beginning in 2008, Argyle had opted to disclose net backlog only for Argyle Corrections (and after the elimination of intercompany revenues), and following long standing practice, such  backlog had contained verbal commitments in addition to signed contracts and letters of intent.  To more consistently follow industry practice whereby companies disclose contract revenue backlog for percentage-of-completion contracts, the Company has changed its policy to include backlog related to its Argyle Commercial segment and to exclude PDI's backlog because, unlike the other business units in Argyle Corrections, it does not account for its contracts on a percentage-of- completion basis.  Additionally, the Company will include only those projects for which it has executed contracts and letters of intent.  As a result of this new policy, a comparison of current backlog information to historical backlog information may not be useful.

Argyle Reports Material Weakness and Impairment to Goodwill

Management announced that it has identified several internal control deficiencies that resulted in a material weakness in its revenue recognition processes. The deficiency consists of inadequate levels of review of complex and judgmental accounting issues. To address the deficiency, among other things, Argyle is in the process of implementing its remediation plan for the deficiencies and material weakness, including making personnel changes, implementing additional oversight and approval processes to ensure updating of expenses and the accuracy of its results. Management does not anticipate that it will be necessary to restate any of its previously reported financial statements.

It was also reported that, based on a combination of factors, including the current economic environment, Argyle's operating results and a sustained decline in Argyle's market capitalization, management has concluded that there were sufficient indicators which required us to perform a goodwill impairment analysis as of September 30, 2008. We have not completed this analysis due to the complexities involved in determining the implied fair value of the goodwill of each of Argyle Security USA's business units. However, based on the work performed to date, we have concluded that an impairment loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Accordingly, Argyle has taken a $16.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, representing our best estimate of the impairment loss. Management expects to finalize our goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. It is possible that adjustments to the goodwill impairment charge would need to be made when the goodwill impairment test is completed. Any adjustments to the preliminary estimates as a result of completing this evaluation will be recorded in Argyle's financial statements for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, which are expected to be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC on or about March 31, 2009.

Management Overview

Bob Marbut, Chairman and Co-CEO of Argyle, stated, "In light of the unpredictable and uncertain economic times facing us, we are very pleased with our continued revenue growth during the quarter, with overall revenues increasing 13% and revenues in the Argyle Corrections Group up 15%. However, we've also continued to encounter some substantial internal challenges in the quarter, resulting in project cost overruns and an EBITDA margin that was well below our expectations.  Over the past two months, we've taken a number of steps to strengthen our infrastructure in order to deal with both operational- management and financial-control issues that have been identified as causes of the problems.  Management has put a heavy emphasis on the development of people, systems and structure.  In conjunction with these endeavors, our top three priorities are 1) the generation of profitable sales, 2) the conversion of revenues into cash and 3) the prudent management of cash. We believe that these efforts, combined with our healthy cash condition, will position us well to take advantage of market opportunities when the economy improves."

Sam Youngblood, President of Argyle Security USA, said, "We believe that we are now in position to improve our EBITDA because of the phase-out or elimination of three significant factors which have contributed to margin erosion. First, the task of  hiring and training our workers to meeting the changing demands of our customers was greater and more costly than expected; however, we believe that such investment will benefit us and our customers going forward. Second, we are still seeing the lasting negative cost effects resulting from a new venture which was ultimately more costly and riskier than anticipated. Finally, during the last six months, PDI was dramatically affected by the rising cost of raw materials from a single-source supplier, and such costs were not able to be passed on to its customers. We now purchase our raw materials from multiple vendors and have been able to implement new pricing procedures to allow greater flexibility for dealing with the volatility in the commodities market." he stated.

Ron Chaimovski, Vice-Chairman and Co-CEO of Argyle, added, "These are uncertain economic times, and Argyle's team is working to navigate through this downturn while remaining focused on maintaining and further strengthening our business model. We are very aware of the challenges ahead, but are cautiously optimistic that our plan will allow us to continue our growth. There has been continued growth in the corrections market and we believe that this trend will continue despite greater attention by local, state and federal governments on spending commitments. The amount of new bookings received in October is encouraging.  We also believe that a slower pace of acquisitive growth during 2009 will enable us to concentrate on fixing the operational issues discovered during the past six months."

Argyle Updates Provides Final Guidance for 2008

Argyle expects full-year 2008 revenues to be at the mid-range of the previously forecasted range of $128 to $142 million. Argyle now expects an EBITDA margin of approximately (10%) for the full-year 2008, which is significantly below previous guidance of approximately 7%, and is attributable to the $16.9 million in non-cash goodwill impairment charge, eroded gross margins in the Corrections segment, and higher-than-expected legal and accounting fees.  Excluding the non-cash goodwill impairment charge and non- cash compensation expense, our expected EBITDA margin is approximately 3.5% for the 2008.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Since Argyle acquired ISI Security Group, Inc. (which is now a part of Argyle Security USA) in July 2007 and Fire Quest, PDI and Com-Tec during January 2008, the Company does not believe a comparison of the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2008 versus September 30, 2007 is beneficial to stockholders. In order to assist investors in better understanding the changes in its business between the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2008, Argyle has provided adjusted pro forma results as if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2007, respectively. Argyle derived the adjusted pro forma results of operations from (i) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Com- Tec for the three months ended September 30, 2007, (ii) the unaudited financial statements of Peterson for the three months ended September 30, 2007, (iii) the unaudited financial statements of Fire Quest for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and (iv) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Argyle for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Adjusted pro forma net income is an alternative view of performance used by management, and we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We report adjusted pro forma net income in order to present the results of our major operations -- the construction, installation, marketing and sale of various electronic security systems for commercial accounts and detention hardware (including security doors and frames, jail furniture, security glazing, and other security-based systems) and electronic control systems for correctional facilities -- prior to considering certain income statement elements, principally amortization of intangible assets. We have defined adjusted pro forma net income as net income before the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations and one-time expenses associated with stock appreciation rights. The adjusted pro forma net income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is used by management as a performance measure for benchmarking against the Company's peers and competitors. The Company believes EBITDA is useful to investors, because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the security industry. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP. Argyle computes EBITDA using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. Following the attached financial statements is a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss.

The presentation of Adjusted Pro Forma Results and EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
