The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Rocco Campanelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of RCM Technologies, commented, “We are pleased that our second quarter results were consistent with our expectations. Once again, our Health Care segment’s results were exceptional, as we achieved historic second quarter highs in both revenues and gross profit. Also, our Health Care segment continued to diversify by launching a new Locum Tenens Group to staff physicians, a large and growing Health Care staffing sector that we believe is well suited for our business model. While our revenues from our IT segment declined this quarter, we are increasing our sales activity across all of our IT divisions to improve our performance. Additionally, we are anticipating improved results in our Canadian Engineering Group, starting late in the third quarter. We are kicking off awarded projects at our major clients in Canada and have continued to retain our professional workforce in order to execute these significant awards.”

Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, added, “We are pleased with the year-over-year second quarter increase in operating income of 26%. We also experienced strong cash flow from operations with a $5.4 million reduction in accounts receivables. We are optimistic that we will continue to see strong cash flow in the second half of 2016.”

Conference Call
On Thursday, August 11, 2016, RCM Technologies will host a conference call to discuss these results. The call will begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.  The dial-in number is (888) 272-8703.
