The Company had operating income of $1.7 million for the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2013 as compared to $1.0 million for the comparable prior year period.

Leon Kopyt, Chairman and CEO of RCM, commented: "We are pleased with the overall results of the Company for the second quarter and particularly pleased with the record performance of our Engineering segment and the continuing strong performance of our Information Technology segment. Our Engineering segment experienced record quarterly revenues and gross profit. Our Information Technology segment experienced its fourth straight consecutive quarter with sequential growth in both revenues and gross profit, both the highest since the first quarter of 2011. While our Specialty Health Care Segment experienced a decline in revenues as compared to last year's second quarter, the revenues and gross profit improved from the first quarter of 2013, indicating an upward progressive momentum in performance."

Outlook

"As the board and management team continue to execute on RCM's strategic plan and achieve progressively positive results, we are cautiously optimistic that our overall results for the two remaining quarters of fiscal 2013 will exceed the comparative two quarters of fiscal 2012. Based on our current internal metrics we expect that we will enjoy a marked increase in performance in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013."

Initiatives to Enhance Shareholder Value

"Our Board and management team remain committed to taking swift and decisive action to deliver value to our shareholders without compromising our strong balance sheet, financial flexibility and strategic growth trajectory, or our ability to continue investing in our business. While potential future initiatives such as stock repurchases and declarations of dividends are subject to approval of the Board and will depend on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, anticipated capital requirements, business conditions, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board, we remain committed to continuing to explore further actions to enhance shareholder value," concluded Mr. Kopyt.
