Quest Resource Reports Second Quarter 2015 Revenue of $42.3 Million
Further Expands Client Locations to 38,000 With Addition of Top-10 Auto Dealership Group
(firmenpresse) - FRISCO, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 08/14/15 -- Quest Resource Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: QRHC) ("Quest"), a leader in sustainability, recycling, and resource management, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Total revenue of $42.3 million, an increase of 6% from the first quarter of 2015.
Added approximately 5,900 client locations in the automotive, retail, and grocery industries.
Further expanded portfolio of blue-chip clients with the addition of the sixth largest auto dealership group.
Now serving approximately 38,000 client locations.
"We continue to add new client locations, capture market share, and strengthen our pipeline as we see demand for more cost-effective and environmentally responsible waste and recycling programs continuing to grow," commented Brian Dick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quest. "During the second quarter, we broadened our client base with the addition of a top-10 auto dealership and further penetrated our existing client base, adding to the total client locations served."
"Pricing in the secondary market for some of the commodities we monetize continues to offset the revenue growth we achieved from new clients and new locations during the quarter," Mr. Dick added. "However, the effect on our overall profit margin was limited because we do not hold these commodities in inventory. Going forward, we believe the increase in volume from new client locations in the automotive aftermarket will positively impact our commodity-related business when commodity prices rebound to more normalized and historical levels."
Mr. Dick concluded, "We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on additional growth opportunities as the anticipated stringent controls for the management of non-regulated waste comes to fruition at the federal and state levels and market demand for environmentally responsible solutions accelerates."

In this press release, a certain non-GAAP financial measure, "Adjusted EBITDAS," is presented. From time to time, Quest considers and uses this supplemental measure of operating performance in order to provide an improved understanding of underlying performance trends. The company believes it is useful to review, as applicable, both GAAP measures that include (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) acquisition-related costs, (iii) debt extinguishment costs, (iv) interest expense, (v) income taxes, (vi) depreciation and amortization, (vii) stock-based compensation expense, and non-GAAP measures that exclude such information. Quest presents this non-GAAP measure because it considers it an important supplemental measure of Quest''s performance. Quest''s definition of this adjusted financial measure may differ from similarly named measures used by others. Quest believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company''s GAAP measures. (See attached table "Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDAS.")
