Intelligroup President and Chief Executive Officer, Vikram Gulati, commented, "We continue to be impacted by the challenging global economic environment, which led many of our existing and prospective customers to defer decision-making on a range of IT services initiatives, particularly shorter-term projects. In response, we moved quickly to adjust our staffing levels and overhead structure to address this new environment, and we were able to preserve much of our gross and operating margins on a sequential basis and improve margins versus a year ago. While we are certainly not pleased with our top line results, we are encouraged by our ability to manage the business well and cushion the impact on the earnings.
"Though we face difficult industry prospects, and visibility as to the depth and length of the current environment remains uncertain, we are convinced that the long-term prospects for the ERP market and Intelligroup remain sound. While continuing to deliver the superior execution our customers have come to expect, we will continue to actively manage our resources focusing on improving key operating metrics and aligning our costs to the changes in market dynamics. Though it is clear that the full year 2009 will be a challenging period with revenue levels below those in 2008, we are on track to improve our operational efficiency and reduce cost to best manage our margins. In addition to the efforts we undertook in Q1 '09 to preserve operating margins, we have also solidified our balance sheet and cash position with a significant increase in our cash and cash equivalent position."
Q1 Operating Results:
Revenues for Q1 '09 decreased 19.7% to $30.9 million, compared to $38.5 million in Q1 '08 and declined 17.3% compared to Q4 '08. Despite declining revenues Intelligroup continued to actively manage its staffing levels and cost structure, generating a gross margin of 31.2%, versus 29.7% in the year ago period and 32.5% in Q4 '08. Q1 '09 gross profit decreased 15.8% to $9.6 million compared to Q1 '08 gross profit of $11.4 million and 20.6% compared to Q4 '08 gross profit of $12.1 million.
SG&A decreased by 19.6% to $7.8 million compared to $9.7 million in Q1 '08 and declined by 15% compared to $9.2 million in Q4 '08. Q1 '09 operating income was $1.8 million or 5.9% of revenues, a 150 basis point improvement over $1.7 million or 4.4% of revenues in Q1 '08, and down 200 basis points compared to operating income of $2.9 million or 7.9% of revenue in Q4 '08.
Intelligroup recorded a foreign exchange loss of $0.6 million in Q1 '09 reflecting the continued impact of the Company's hedging positions on inter-company balances. This compares to a net foreign exchange gain of $0.4 million in Q1 '08 and a net foreign exchange loss of $1.4 million in Q4 '08. Tax expenses totaled $0.5 million in Q1 '09 as compared to $0.3 million in Q1 '08 and $0.4 million in Q4 '08 primarily due to the exhausting of carry forward losses in the UK operations in 2008.
Q1 '09 net income was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to Q1 '08 net income of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, and Q4 '08 net income of $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share. Diluted shares outstanding were 41.7 million in Q1 '09, a decrease of 1.8% and 1.1% compared to Q1 '08 and Q4 '08, respectively, principally reflecting the impact of the repurchases under the Company's previously announced share repurchase program. To date in 2009, Intelligroup purchased 584,850 shares at an average cost of $1.48 per share, bringing total purchases under the program to 664,150 shares.
Intelligroup generated cash from operating activities of $6.2 million in Q1 '09, ending the quarter with $14 million of cash and cash equivalents net of line of credit borrowings, an increase of approximately $4 million from year-end 2008.
Alok Bajpai, CFO, added, "By focusing on operational efficiencies including utilization, overheads, cash collection and onsite/offshore mix, we were able to mitigate much of bottom line impact of the revenue decline while also generating strong cash flow. With a disciplined approach to cost and expense management in place, we were able to preserve the strength of our balance sheet and continued to grow our cash and short term investments position to nearly $16 million.
"We continue to view accretive share repurchases as an excellent means to enhance shareholder value over the long term and believe the current valuation of Intelligroup common shares makes such share repurchases a very compelling use of capital. Pursuant to our October 2008 repurchase authorization of up to $5 million, we expect to continue to repurchase additional shares, subject to business conditions, cash flows, and the market price of our shares."
