Merger proposal receives scrutiny in Austria. The Austrian Federal Competition Authority (AFCA) is of the opinion that the proposed merger between Haynes International and North American Stainless, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Acerinox S.A., should not receive clearance in its current form but should be subjected to a detailed examination by the Austrian Cartel Court. The AFCA filed an application with the Austrian Cartel Court for a Phase II in-depth examination. Like Haynes, Acerinox is active in the field of specialty alloys through its VDM Metals subsidiary.
What is the problem? Based on the release, the AFCA is concerned that the merger would further strengthen Acerinox’s market position in the nickel alloy products sector which could have a negative impact on competition and lead to higher prices.

Government Budgets. With the budgets for the 2024 fiscal year passed, DLH is prepared to capitalize on the expected increased bidding environment, in our view. The Company has roughly $500 million in outstanding bids, and we expect to see awards to be announced throughout the fiscal year.
Increasing Cash Flow. The Company generated $10.3 million in cash from operations year-to-date, above 2023’s cash generation of $6.9 million. The result is from an improvement in the Company’s Day Sales Outstanding, which improved to 50 days from 61 days last year. Improved cash collections corresponds to quicker debt reduction, in our view.

Past the Continuing Resolution. With the Continuing Resolution in the rear view mirror and building momentum in government decision making, DLH is positioned to realize any opportunities for awards throughout 2024, in our view. With the more positive environment, DLH already experienced an increase in its backlog, up $80 million sequentially, and we believe there is still more to come.
2Q Results. Revenue for the second quarter was $101.0 million, an increase from $99.4 million last year and above our estimate of $99 million. Net income totaled $1.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, versus $0.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for 2Q23 and in-line with our estimate. EBITDA for 2Q24 was approximately $10.2 million versus $10.5 million in the prior year, or a margin of 10.1% and 10.5%, respectively, slightly below our $11.3 million projection.

Revenue Grows and Backlog Strengthens as Debt Reduction Continues
ATLANTA, May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DLH Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: DLHC) (“DLH” or the “Company”), a leading provider of science research and development, systems engineering and integration, and digital transformation and cyber security solutions to federal agencies, today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Second Quarter Highlights
Second quarter revenue was $101.0 million in fiscal 2024 versus $99.4 million in fiscal 2023
Earnings were $1.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus $0.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) were $10.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to $10.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Total debt was $170.8 million as of March 31, 2024 versus $174.4 million as of December 31, 2023
Contract backlog was $736.2 million as of March 31, 2024 versus $653.5 million as of December 31, 2023.
Management Discussion “I am very pleased to announce that, with the Continuing Resolution behind us and decision-making in Washington getting back on track, we posted both revenue and backlog growth during the quarter — positioning us well for the remainder of fiscal 2024,” said Zach Parker, DLH President and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue rose to $101.0 million, up slightly year-over-year, and our backlog climbed more than $80 million sequentially from the end of the first quarter, to $736.2 million. Our bottom line also improved over fiscal 2023 results, reflecting the positive impact of focusing cash flow on de-levering our balance sheet. We were proud to announce renewal contract awards with the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute on Drug Abuse as we were selected to continue supporting their critical missions and potentially increase our presence at each institute through significant contract provisions for optional IT services. Over the past quarter we saw momentum building in government decision making and, with an active pipeline of opportunities, we expect to deliver further backlog gains and top line growth going forward. This should position us well for fiscal 2025 and beyond, while our ongoing debt reduction strategy continues to enhance underlying performance and shareholder value.
“With respect to the VA CMOP program, as reported during the quarter, the VA issued notices of intent to award short term contracts for each of the CMOP locations. They subsequently cancelled those notices and issued us a new contract to provide services while the procurements for new five-year contracts are evaluated and awarded. The contract has a ceiling value of $200 million, with initial tasking through July 31, 2024.”
Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $101.0 million versus $99.4 million in fiscal 2023, reflecting growth across the Company’s programs, particularly in public health and IT services offset in part by national security contracts converting to small business set-aside companies.
Income from operations was $5.9 million versus $6.0 million in the fiscal 2023 second quarter and, as a percentage of revenue, the Company reported operating margin of 5.9% in fiscal 2024 second quarter versus 6.0% in the prior-year period. For the quarter, general and administrative costs increased as a percentage of revenue to 11.6% from 10.8%, primarily due to an increase in legal costs associated with customer procurements and strategic corporate planning costs.
Interest expense was $4.2 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2024 versus $4.8 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower debt outstanding due to the Company’s use of cash flow generation to de-lever the balance sheet. Income before income taxes was $1.8 million for the second quarter this year versus $1.2 million in fiscal 2023, representing 1.7% and 1.2% of revenue, respectively, for each period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, DLH recorded a $(0.1) million and $0.4 million provision for income tax expense, respectively, with the lower tax in fiscal 2024 reflecting the beneficial impact of stock based compensation expense as options are exercised. The Company reported net income of approximately $1.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus $0.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. As a percentage of revenue for the second quarters of fiscal 2024 and 2023, net income was 1.8% and 0.8%, respectively.
On a non-GAAP basis, EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $10.2 million versus $10.5 million in the prior-year period, or 10.1% and 10.5% of revenue, respectively.
Key Financial Indicators During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, DLH generated $5.2 million in operating cash. As of March 31, 2024 the Company had cash of $0.2 million and debt outstanding under its credit facilities of $170.8 million versus cash of $0.2 million and debt outstanding of $179.4 million as of September 30, 2023. The debt reduction of $3.6 million was all voluntary prepayments applied to floating rate debt. The Company expects to reduce its total debt balance to between $157.0 million and $153.0 million by the end of fiscal 2024.
As of March 31, 2024 total backlog was approximately $736.2 million, including funded backlog of approximately $106.9 million and unfunded backlog of $629.3 million.

Improved Margin. In spite of the revenue shortfall caused by unanticipated project delays, management’s focus on improved bidding and cost controls resulted in gross margin increasing to 9.7% in the quarter from 3.7% a year ago. We anticipate ongoing margin improvement.
Environment Ripe with Opportunity. As we have outlined in previous reports, the opportunity set continues to grow, now at $11 billion with solid growth potential in both the Marine and Concrete segments.

Favorable outlook. In 2024, we estimate revenue will grow roughly 60% from the prior year, reaching $94.1 million. In 2025, revenue is expected to reach $140.3 million, an increase of 49% over 2024. The strong revenue growth is to be driven by the company’s owned and operated lighting websites, as well as its key partnerships, detailed later in this report.
