2QFY23 Results. DLH reported revenue of $99.4 million compared to $68.9 million the year prior, excluding FEMA contract contribution. GRSi contributed $32.6 million of revenue, indicating the core DLH business saw revenue decline $2.1 million y-o-y. Net income was reported at $0.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, versus $7.2 million, or $0.50, last year. EBITDA was at $10.5 million compared with $12.1 million last year, or $6.6 million excluding FEMA.

Focusing In. Although revenue came in lower than our expected $104 million, we believe this to be more a function of some business moving to the right and the challenge in estimating the recently acquired GRSI business. We do not believe the “miss” indicates a deterioration of the core business. We continue to believe the new DLH has significant growth opportunities. The Company has noted multiple cross selling opportunities, with a recent example being the award given by the National Cancer Institute’s Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology for IT services.

A Stronger DLH. The addition of GRSi is a transformative event, in our opinion, creating a more differentiated and powerful Company, with a combined nearly $1 billion of backlog and a new business pipeline that provides significant future growth opportunities. With favorable end markets, DLH is in the right place, at the right time, with the right solutions, in our view.

Strong Growth in Key Programs. DLH saw excellent growth in its key VA and HHS programs. VA pharmacy revenue rose 23% y-o-y to $19.2 million, VA logistics services revenue jumped 15% to $14.5 million, and HHS Head Start revenue increased 34% to $9.1 million, as services offered under this program returned to a more normal pre-COVID level.

Investor Call. Earlier this week, DLH management hosted a conference call to discuss the acquisition of Grove Resource Solutions. We came away from the call even more excited about the combination of the two firms and the significant growth potential. We believe this transaction to be a case of where one plus one equals more than three.

Rationale. In a sentence: GRSi offers significant expansion opportunities by broadening DLH’s capabilities thus providing access to mission-critical programs that are expected to accelerate growth, both near and long-term. Combining GRSi’s technical capabilities with DLH’s research expertise creates a highly differentiated solution offering, in our view.
