RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS

FOR THE THIRTEEN AND THIRTY-NINE WEEK PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 29, 2012

Pennsauken, NJ - November 7, 2012 -- RCM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCMT) today announced financial results for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 29, 2012.
The Company announced revenues of $34.8 million for the thirteen week period ended September 29,
2012, increased from $33.6 million for the thirteen week period ended October 1, 2011 (comparable prior year period). The Company had operating income of $1.1 million for the thirteen week period ended September 29, 2012 as compared to $0.7 million for the comparable prior year period. Net income for the thirteen week period ended September 29, 2012 was $0.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
The Company announced revenues of $108.8 million for both thirty-nine week periods ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 (comparable prior year period). The Company had operating income of $3.9 million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 2012 as compared to $4.8 million for the comparable prior year period. Net income for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 2012 was $2.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $3.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
The Company announced that during the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 2012, the Company repurchased 814,841 shares of its common stock under its existing common stock repurchase plan for an aggregate cost of $4.4 million, an average price of $5.43 per share. The Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan of up to $7.5 million of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock in February 2010, which plan has been extended through February 2013. Through September 29, 2012 the Company has purchased a total of 1,406,627 shares under this plan for an aggregate of $7.1 million, an average price of $5.07 per share.

Leon Kopyt, Chairman and CEO of RCM, commented: "Overall we were pleased with the results of our 2012 third quarter with an approximate 49% increase to operating income as compared to the prior year. Our IT segment did not meet our revenue expectations in the 2012 third quarter but we did experience our second consecutive quarterly increase in gross profit dollars of approximately $0.3 million, or approximately 10%, as compared to the prior year. Our Engineering segment revenues and gross profit dollars also grew approximately 10% as compared to the prior year, due primarily to our recent acquisition of BGA. While our Canadian Engineering group continues to see delays in the release of contracts RCM hopes to win, 2012 third quarter revenues grew by approximately $1.3 million as compared to the second quarter of 2012. After normalizing for the BGA acquisition and our Canadian Engineering group, the Engineering segment experienced modest revenue growth as compared to the prior year. Our Specialty Healthcare segment experienced a decline in revenues of approximately 2% in the 2012 third quarter.

We are cautious in our expectations heading into the fourth quarter of 2012 as much of our business is concentrated in areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy. As of today, we believe we will lose at least $1.0 million in revenues because of Hurricane Sandy and that estimate may grow significantly."
