“We concluded fiscal 2016 with a solid fourth quarter highlighted by strong year-over-year growth in gross margin percentage along with careful expense management that helped produce the most profitable quarter for Volt in five years, said President and CEO Michael Dean. “In addition, we continued to add to our book of business with several significant new customer engagements. This, coupled with a slower rate of revenue decline from existing customers, is helping to stabilize revenue from our core North American Staffing business.”
