Management
Thank you, Greg. Yesterday, we reported first quarter revenues of $287 million, representing a growth of 14% over the first quarter of last year. However, on an adjusted pro forma basis, as if the Furmanite had been acquired on January 1, 2016, our revenues would have been down $8 million or 3% in the first quarter. On a GAAP basis, we reported a loss of $0.32 per share in the current year quarter versus a loss of $0.27 in last year's quarter. On an adjusted basis, our first quarter loss was $0.24 per diluted share versus an adjusted loss of $0.01 per share in the 2016 quarter. Again, on a pro forma adjusted basis, again assuming Furmanite results had been included in for the full 2016 quarter, the 2016 quarter would have reflected a loss of $0.09 per share. I know it's confusing when we have both non-routine items and incomparable data across both the years. The good news is that starting in Q2, the comparisons will be more apples-to-apples, as the Furmanite transaction will be fully incorporated in prior year numbers. It's important to emphasize that our first quarter of the year is clearly our seasonally weakest quarter. The seasonal weakness of Q1 of 2017 was exacerbated by the continued weak demand environment of 2016 that continued through January of 2017. On the last call, I mentioned the sudden deterioration that we experienced at the early conclusion of the fall turnaround season seasons during the months of November and December of 2016. And as I indicated on our last call, that weakness extended into January 2017. January revenues were below $80 million the weakest month we'd experienced in the last two years. In fact, we had an operating loss of $14 million in that month, creating a big hole for the quarter that we were unable to climb out of. The good news is that following a very dismal January, the first quarter delivered sequential improvement during the last two months of the quarter. In fact, February revenues were up 26% over January and March was up 35% over February. After 13 consecutive months of consolidated year-over-year monthly revenue declines, February and March were both up on a pro forma basis year-over-year. What should not be lost in the discussion is that we have continued to refine our business model and invest in tools to optimize resource allocations and utilizations. We believe these company-wide initiatives will allow us to leverage our broader customer base, focus on resources and expertise, what is valued most, and fortify the platform from which we can efficiently grow. I'll provide more detail about that later in the call. With that though, I want to turn it back over to Greg, who'll provide more detail on our financial results, again after which I'll provide more commentary about each of our business units, our Q1 results and our outlook.
