Analyst Update: Quarterly Earnings Updates

The U.S. markets ended lower on Monday as the concern over Greece's precarious financial condition and China's slowing growth weighed on the investor sentiment. The energy index saw a sharp sell off on the back of weak oil prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 85.94 points or 0.47% to close the day at 18,105.17. The NASDAQ and S&P 500 ended the day at 4,993.57 and 2,105.33, respectively, down by 0.2% and 0.51%, respectively, for the day. The European markets too ended the day in the red on Greece debt fears. The FTSE 100 was down 0.24%, DAX lost 0.31%, and CAC 40 plunged 1.23%. However, Asian markets (excluding Australia), traded higher as investors cheered China's latest cut in interest rates to boost its slowing economy.

Performant Financial Corporation announced its financial results for the first quarter 2015 on May 6, 2015. The Company reported revenue of $38.6 million, representing a 34.2% YoY decrease from $58.6 million in Q1 2014.

The Company's revenue declined 28.4% YoY from 1,967 million in Q1 2014 to $1,407 million during this quarter, primarily due to the significantly lower market prices for fuel in the first quarter of 2015. The Company reported $50.1 EBITDA for the first quarter of 2015 which increased by $29.4 million over the 2014 first quarter.

Cenveo Inc. on May 6, 2015 announced its first quarter results. Cenveo reported revenue for the first quarter of $475.1 million, a decline of 3.1% YoY. The revenue missed the Thomson's consensus estimate of $479.00 million.
