MAITLAND, Fla., Apr 14, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- WSTM | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Workstream (NASDAQ: WSTM), a leading provider of on demand talent management solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended February 28, 2009:

Net Revenues were $5.6 million compared to $6.2 million during the same period last year.

EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, was $1.3 million or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a loss of ($4.5) million or ($0.09) per diluted share during the same period last year.

Net income for the period in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, was $573,852 compared to a loss of ($19.7) million during the same period last year.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.01 with 58 million weighted average shares outstanding compared to a loss per diluted share of ($0.38) during the same period last year.

Cash flow from operations for the period was $351,000 compared to ($3.5) million cash used in operation during the same period last year.

In the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2009, management continued to focus and execute on increasing productivity, reducing cost and generating free cash flow.

EBITDA and EBITDA per share are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. EBITDA is commonly defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it excludes transactions not related to the core cash operating business activities. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner, and EBITDA as presented by Workstream may not be comparable to EBITDA presented by other companies. Workstream defines EBITDA as earnings or loss from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash equity compensation and non-recurring goodwill impairment, if applicable. Following the financial statements attached is a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA loss and EBITDA per share that should be read in conjunction with the financial statements.

In the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2009, management reduced employee costs, including commissions, as there was a significant decrease in headcount as part of management's overall plan to reduce costs to better align them with the Company's current revenues. Additionally, we renegotiated several major accounts with service providers and changed some of our offices to remote centers in order to lower our expenses.
