(MENAFNEditorial) SPRINGFIELD, VA / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2017 / Versar, Inc. (NYSE American: VSR), today announced financial results for fiscal 2017, ended June 30, 2017. The Form 10-K will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) later today. In addition, Bank of America and Versar signed the Seventh Forbearance Agreement on September 22, 2017 (the "Effective Date"), extending the forbearance period to November 17, 2017, at the latest. Versar will file an 8-K related to the Seventh Forbearance Agreement by no later than September 28, 2017.
Fiscal 2017 Financial Results
Fiscal 2017 gross revenue decreased 33% to $111.8 million, compared to revenues of $167.9 million during fiscal 2016. The decrease is largely attributable to the Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) project wind down, reduced work from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Performance Based Remediation (PBR) wind down, the sale of PPS (Versar's personal protective gear subsidiary sold in April), Versar Security Systems (VSS) lower than expected revenues, decreased work in Iraq and Afghanistan, and loss of contracts previously held. Both the DAFB and PBR ramp-downs were anticipated, with those projects scheduled to end in calendar years 2017 and 2020, respectively.
Purchased services and materials decreased 43% to $60.9 million from $107.2 million. The decrease is a result of the slow-down in the Dover project, the decrease in EPA projects, reduced revenue levels within VSS, project loss reserves within PSG, a project at Fort Belvoir, and the Cedar Point Shoreline project.
Direct costs of services and overhead for fiscal 2017 were $45 million, a decrease of 22% compared to 57.5 million during fiscal 2016. The decrease is a result of a cost savings plan we initiated during fiscal 2017, as well as full year impacts of the costs savings reductions we made in fiscal 2016. The wind down in DAFB was also a driver of that decrease.
Gross profit was up 84% from $3.2 million to $5.9 million. Cost savings actions just mentioned also contributed to the increase in gross profit for fiscal 2017. Gross margin percentage for fiscal 2017 was 5.3%, compared to gross margin of 1.9% last year. SG & amp;A expenses for fiscal 2017 were $12.9 million, or 12% of gross revenue, compared to $13.0 million, or 8% of gross revenue in fiscal 2016. While this is an increase percent of gross revenue over the prior fiscal year, the overall level of SG & amp;A is down.
Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $5.9 million, compared to a gross profit of $6.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2016. Gross margin increased from 5% to 7%. While SG & amp;A remained flat on a dollar amount, it increased as a percent of revenue from 7% to 11%. Included in the last nine months of SG & amp;A are approximately $900 thousand related to requirements of the Bank of America Loan Amendment. In addition, the Company paid for two outside audits and unusual legal fees associated with our restructuring. Despite these additional expenses, the Company was able to control indirect costs.
Net loss for fiscal 2017 was $9.6 million, or a loss of 96 cents per share, as compared to a net loss of $37.9 million, or a net loss of $3.84 per share, in fiscal 2016.
