ARLINGTON, Va., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- On-Site Sourcing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ONSS) today announced that it achieved net earnings of $128,000, or 3 cents per share, on record quarterly revenues of $7.9 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998. The Company had reported losses in the three previous quarters. In the fourth quarter of 1997, On-Site reported earnings of $232,000, or 5 cents per share, on revenues of $7.2 million. For the full year of 1998, revenues were up 23% to a record $26.0 million from the prior year's $21.1 million. The loss in 1998 was $998,000, or 21 cents per share, compared to earnings of $723,000, or 15 cents per share, in 1997. President Christopher J. Weiler commented, "We are excited and gratified that the cost-cutting and marketing efforts we undertook in midyear are producing the desired results." Mr. Weiler added, "We experienced strong revenue growth in reprographics and imaging operations in the fourth quarter. The Information Technology Group, which was launched in 1998, is now well established, is generating revenues from multiple customers, and closed 1998 with an increased backlog of orders. The Imaging Division, which was unprofitable in 1998, closed the year with a strong backlog of work and is now headed by a new general manager who joined the division as of January 1, 1999." "We are well positioned for profitable growth in 1999," Mr. Weiler said. "Our emphasis on cost controls and improved fundamentals will continue, and, with the Information Technology Group now fully staffed and operational, On-Site can now offer a full range of document management and information technology services."
