Management’s Assessment
Mark Hess, ENGlobal’s Chief Financial Officer, said: “We are proud to have exceeded our financial targets for 2014, which was driven by an increase in margins, consistent project execution, as well as internal growth. We maintained a substantial cash balance and had no borrowings from our working capital lines during 2014. We also successfully replaced our credit facility with a similar three-year facility that will help provide the working capital needed to further our growth.”
William Coskey, P.E., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ENGlobal added: “I would like to sincerely congratulate the outstanding men and women of ENGlobal for their contributions toward a successful 2014. We will not be immune to some industry headwinds during 2015, but are currently encouraged by the continued level of spending by our largely midstream and downstream clientele. Having regained our footing once again, we now expect to explore acquisition opportunities for external growth.”
