Outlook:

CEO Bill Laursen commented, “We are excited about our performance in the third quarter of 2020, which was characterized by a strong improvement in gross profit and significantly increased Adjusted EBITDA. We are pleased to report that we had successive quarters of profitability which is attributable to the accomplishments of our team as we work to complete the turn-around we began less than two years ago. As an essential services provider, we believe that we have fared comparatively well given the unpredictable impacts of the pandemic as demonstrated by our 30.1% increase in revenues. While we, like all companies, face continued uncertainty during these difficult times, we credit the resiliency of our workforce with these healthy gains.”

CFO Wayne Coll commented, “On August 25, 2020, we announced that we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale and leaseback of our main manufacturing facility. The transaction was subject to a number of conditions and was expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020. We continue to work through due diligence matters with purchaser, and now expect the closing of the sale-leaseback to take place by the end of the fourth quarter of 2020 or within the first quarter of 2021.”

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting net income (loss), a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, this news release contains information about Adjusted EBITDA (income from continuing operations adjusted for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring income and expenses), which is a non-GAAP measure. Share-based compensation includes directors fees paid by means of stock grants versus cash as well as non-cash incentives. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to view its performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management and provides additional insight into its operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated through the application of GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income (loss) and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.
