Tom Brisbin, Willdan’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: ““Our first quarter was a slow quarter, and our results reflect that. We continue to see solid growth opportunities across our businesses and we are investing in key personnel and technology so we are positioned to capitalize on them.

Loss from operations was $0.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to income from operations of $0.4 million for the comparable period last year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by Willdan’s management to measure its operating performance. Willdan defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income plus net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, lease abandonment (recapture) and gain on sale of assets. Willdan’s 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 net income. Willdan believes Adjusted EBITDA enables management to separate unusual or infrequent income and expense items from its results of operations to provide a more normalized and consistent view of operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Willdan uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance for, among other things, budgeting, forecasting and incentive compensation purposes. Willdan also believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors, research analysts, investment bankers and lenders because it removes from its operational results the impact of certain unusual or infrequent income and expense items, which may facilitate comparison of its results from period to period.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income from operations or net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.6 million to $10,000 for the three months ended April 1, 2011 from $0.6 million for the comparable period last year.
