Command Security Corporation Announces Loss of Contract

HERNDON, Va., May 02, 2018 -- Command Security Corporation (NYSE MKT:MOC) today reported the loss of a significant portion of the Company’s scope of work with a major internet retailer.  In response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the customer, and focused on the evaluation of base wage rates, the Company had recently submitted a price proposal and after review of the proposal by the customer the Company was advised that the customer intends to transition the work to another vendor.  Estimated total revenue associated with this portion of the scope of work for this customer during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was approximately $34.3 million.

During the past several months, the Company had sought wage adjustments in several geographic locations in response to the tightening of the labor market, lower unemployment rates and increasing wage requirements.  The customer determined an RFP process would provide the necessary market assessment.  The Company’s approach is to pay a fair and competitive wage to our security officers and supervisors while delivering high quality security services.

The Company will continue to fulfill all its obligations under the terms of the agreement with this customer and expects the transition of this work to the new vendor to be complete on or about May 31, 2018.  The Company will immediately begin to make the necessary cost-reductions commensurate with the loss of this work.

Craig P. Coy, the Company’s CEO said, “This is an obvious disappointment as we had invested significant resources to support this customer and meet their service needs.  The Company continues to have an active pipeline of new business opportunities and proposals issued and under evaluation.”
