Labor SMART, Inc. (OTCQB: LTNC) (the "Company"), an emerging provider of on-demand blue collar staffing primarily in the southeastern United States, today announced record February revenue as well as an increase in same branch sales year over year. For those offices that have been open for at least one year, February 2014 revenue was $959,472 compared to $778,748 one year ago for the same branches. This 23 percent increase was achieved despite negative effects from significant weather-related issues that occurred during the month in the Southeastern US. Overall February 2014 revenue for Labor SMART was $1,413,126 compared to $778,748 for the same month prior year, representing an 81% year over year increase.
Ryan Schadel, Labor SMART's CEO stated, "We were extremely pleased with this revenue growth in February as weather-related events negatively impacted many businesses in the US, particularly in our primary areas of operations during the month. Without these weather-related issues, we believe our revenue would have been much higher than what was achieved. This marks the fifteenth straight month we have recorded a year-over-year increase in revenue at branches that were open at least one year."
Labor SMART reported a significant increase in revenue last month as well and recently reported that its 2013 revenue was 130.7 percent higher than that recorded in 2012. "We are part of a growth industry as more and more companies choose to outsource many jobs rather than deal with new regulatory employment issues," Mr. Schadel said. He added that the company intends to continue to grow organically, to open new stores and explore acquisitions that would be accretive to the company's revenue and earnings.
