Mike Matacunas, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Although the year-over-year comparisons of the consolidated financials remain complicated by the divestitures in the prior year, our second quarter revenues of $38.6 million for the continuing U.S. and Canada businesses were strong. U.S. and Canada revenues were up 5%1 compared to the prior year quarter and increased sequentially by 13.5% compared to the first quarter’s revenues. Notably, the U.S. and Canada gross profit dollars of $9.1 million and margins of 23.5% increased for the second quarter from the first quarter and the year-ago quarter.  We continue to build on the largest pipeline of opportunity in SPAR’s history for the U.S. and Canada business, with more than $200 million of future business to win.

income attributable to SPAR Group adjusted for the removal of a one-time positive adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before, as applicable from time to time, (i) depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, (ii) interest expense (iii) income tax expense, (iv) Board of Directors incremental compensation expense, (v) restructuring, (vi) impairment, (vii) nonrecurring legal settlement costs and associated legal expenses unrelated to the Company's core operations, (viii) and special items as determined by management. These metrics are supplemental measures of our operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. We present Adjusted net income attributable to SPAR Group and per share amounts, and Adjusted EBITDA because management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe that securities analysts, investors and others use these measures to evaluate companies in our industry. Our calculation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.
