“We are optimistic that we will deliver good cash flow again in fiscal 2016, through improved operating income and/or reduced days outstanding in our accounts receivable,” said CFO Kevin Miller. “We expect to improve our fiscal 2016 operating income as compared to fiscal 2015 by achieving attractive gross profit growth rates while efficiently managing our growth in SGA expense. However, due to expected project delays in our Canadian Engineering group, we expect a slow start to fiscal 2016.”
