FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Willdan Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results
ANAHEIM, Calif.,—(BUSINESS WIRE)—August 7, 2008—Willdan Group, Inc. (“Willdan”) (NASDAQ:WLDN), announces financial results for its second quarter ended June 27, 2008.
For the second quarter of 2008, Willdan reported total contract revenue of $17.8 million and a net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.01 loss per basic and diluted share.
On June 9, 2008, Willdan purchased the outstanding stock of Intergy Corporation (“Intergy”), a California-based consulting firm that assists companies, institutions and agencies with planning and implementing their energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy strategies. Intergy’s results of operations from June 9 to June 27, 2008 are included in the consolidated results of Willdan.
Tom Brisbin, Willdan’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: “In the second quarter, we continued to see a general decline in the markets we have traditionally served. While our financial results were below plan, we continue to collect cash and we are making tangible progress in executing our strategy of diversifying services. I’m particularly excited about our acquisition of Intergy, which provides us an entirely new service offering in an accelerating area—energy efficiency and sustainability. Demand for energy efficiency solutions is growing and both governments and institutions consider it an essential area of investment. We also made some key new hires, including Mike Deblieux, who will lead Willdan Management Services’ efforts to help clients implement effective leadership techniques and practices.
“We believe we have the right strategy in place to succeed in the long-term. We will continue to focus on expanding our service offerings to diversify our revenue base, and to leverage our centralized new business development team to cross sell business and win new and different types of work,” concluded Brisbin.

Outlook
The following statement is based on current expectations. This statement is forward-looking and actual results could differ materially from current expectations. This outlook should be read in conjunction with the information on forward-looking statements at the end of this press release.
Based on our first half results and the outlook for the remainder of the year, Willdan has revised its fiscal 2008 revenue guidance down to between $72 million and $75 million from the previous range of between $80 million and $83 million. Management believes this decline may be somewhat offset by new initiatives and revenue from Intergy.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by our management to measure our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and loss (gain) on sales of assets. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from those of many companies reporting similarly named measures. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, such as operating income and net income. We believe Adjusted EBITDA enables management to separate non-recurring income and expense items from our results of operations to provide a more normalized and consistent view of operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance for, among other things, budgeting, forecasting and incentive compensation purposes. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors, research analysts, investment bankers and lenders because it removes from our operational results the impact of certain non-recurring income and expense items, which may facilitate comparison of our results from period-to-period.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to operating income or net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 48.4% to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 27, 2008 from $1.5 million for the comparable period last year. Adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 2.2% for six months ended June 27, 2008 from 3.7% for the comparable period last year.
The following is a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA:
