Volt Information Sciences (NYSE: VISI) reported Q4 EPS of ($0.14), versus ($0.54) reported last year. Revenue for the quarter came in at $264.8 million versus the consensus estimate of $288.48 million.

Commenting on Volt’s fourth quarter results, Linda Perneau, President and CEO, said, “I am pleased with our fourth quarter performance highlighted by improvement in same-store revenue, gross margin expansion and careful expense management, which collectively resulted in significant growth in adjusted income from continuing operations. At the top line, we are beginning to realize the benefits from changes to the North American Staffing segment’s organizational structure, designed to strengthen its service delivery, coupled with a much more robust sales engine. In addition, our focus on driving retail growth in commercial and professional job categories, as well as our renewed emphasis on direct hire business, contributed to a 160 basis point year-over-year improvement in gross margin on a same-store basis.”

Ms. Perneau continued, “Our operational performance in the fourth quarter was solid, evidenced by revenue improvements as compared to the prior year in our North American Staffing segment during each month of the quarter. During the last month of fiscal 2018, we generated year-over-year positive revenue growth in our North American Staffing Segment for the first time in many years. So far in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, that trend is continuing. This gives us confidence that this segment will generate positive year-over-year revenue growth during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. As momentum continues to build across the enterprise, I am very proud of the team’s execution of our strategy and I anticipate a strong start to the new year.”
