ALVIN, Texas, April 4, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Team, Inc., (Nasdaq:TISI) today reported adjusted earnings of $0.08 per diluted share on revenues of $108.8 million for its third quarter ended February 28, 2011. This compares to adjusted earnings of $0.06 per diluted share on revenues of $104.1 million in the prior year third quarter. "Looking ahead, we are pleased with our activity levels entering the spring turnaround season and have a strong outlook for the fourth quarter," said Phil Hawk, Team's Chairman and CEO. "Consequently, we are affirming our full year adjusted earnings guidance of $1.10 to $1.25 per fully diluted share for fiscal year 2011," said Hawk.
The Company's net income reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (including non-routine items) was $3.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the current year third quarter, as compared to a loss of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the prior year third quarter.
Revenues for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 were $346.5 million and adjusted net income for the same period was $14.4 million ($0.72 per diluted share), versus adjusted net income of $9.5 million ($0.49 per diluted share) in the prior year period. Including non-routine items incurred during both the nine month periods, net income reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles was $15.8 million ($0.79 per diluted share) in the current year period, versus $6.5 million ($0.34 per diluted share) in the prior year period.

Non-routine Items
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company identified and corrected accounting errors relating to the effect of share-based compensation on tax provisions for fiscal years 2007 through 2010 and the first two quarters of fiscal year 2011. During those periods, reported earnings were understated because effective tax rates were overstated as a result of the previously undetected errors in the tax provision calculation. No restatement of previously issued financial statements was required because the effect on those statements was immaterial. The cumulative effect of the errors in the tax provision calculation was a tax benefit, which was recorded in the current quarter, consisting of $1.8 million associated with the prior years and $0.5 million associated with the first two quarters of the current fiscal year. Excluding the effect of the $1.8 million portion of the cumulative adjustments related to prior years, the Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 is expected to be 38% versus the 40% tax rate previously reported. Excluding the $2.2 million of cumulative adjustments recorded in the quarter, third quarter adjusted net income was $1.7 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share.
In the prior year third quarter, the Company recorded a $2.1 million pre-tax charge associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar and a $0.5 million pre-tax charge associated with legal and accounting costs related to an independent investigation. For the nine month period of the prior year, the total pre-tax charge associated with the independent investigation was $2.8 million. Both the currency devaluation and the costs associated with the investigation are non-routine items. Excluding these items, adjusted net income for the three month and nine month periods of the prior year was $1.2 million ($0.06 per diluted share) and $9.5 million ($0.49 per diluted share), respectively.
