Command Security Corporation Announces Financial Results

LAGRANGEVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Command Security Corporation (NYSE Amex: MOC) announced today its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased 6.3% to $32,397,674, compared with revenues of $30,480,867 in the same period of the prior year. Net loss was $123,326, or $.01 per basic and diluted share compared with net income of $918,431, or $.09 and $.08 per basic and diluted share, respectively, in the same period of the prior year. Operating income was $205,745, or .6%, compared to $625,011, or 2.1% in the same period of the prior year.

Revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 increased 9.6% to $130,813,244, compared with revenues of $119,403,865 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Net income decreased to $1,281,883, or $.12 and $.11 per basic and diluted share, respectively, compared with $2,473,585, or $.23 and $.22 per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Operating income was $3,007,641, or 2.3%, compared to $2,969,033, or 2.5% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Revenue growth during the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 was primarily attributable to the following events:

• The acquisitions of security services businesses in Florida and Maryland;
• The expansion of aviation services to new customers at Los Angeles International Airport in California, and John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in New York;
• The expansion of security services to new and existing customers, including a major medical center, a New York based hospital and a major international commercial bank;
• A new contract with a large grocery market distribution center in California; and
• A new contract with a company that provides merchandising and distribution centers to a major grocery retailer in New Jersey.

The decrease in net income for the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year was primarily attributable to a higher effective tax rate in the current year period primarily resulting from the recognition of deferred tax assets in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Commenting on the fiscal 2009 results, Edward S. Fleury, Chief Executive Officer of Command Security, stated “Our experienced management team has been proactive in implementing financial and operational programs in this challenging economic environment. In addition to continuing to meet our top-line goals, we have and will continue to maintain our disciplined approach towards cost and expense management. We are managing the business prudently and making decisions for sustained success over the long-term, including, for example, by investing in sales and back-office efficiencies, continuing to expand our geographic footprint and utilizing customer capacity reductions as an opportunity to reduce overtime. We are doing all of this without compromising the quality of our service delivery and we are confident we will emerge from this downturn as a stronger force in the industry.”

Barry I. Regenstein, President of Command Security, stated, “Our focus on managing working capital across the business and the commitment of an expanded revolving credit facility continues to provide the resources to implement our strategy of expanding through organic growth and selective strategic acquisitions.”
