FAQ

Why Bullish?

The release of positive earnings and increase in dividends typically correlates with stock price appreciation, as seen in similar cases like SGC’s performance in prior quarters when dividend increases followed financial improvements.

How important is it?

Positive financial results and shareholder return initiatives typically drive investor confidence, increasing the likelihood of short-term price appreciation.

Why Short Term?

The immediate effects of the earnings report and dividend announcement are likely to be visible in the short term, with potential for longer-term stability if sustained growth continues.

EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by net sales. The Company believes EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the Company’s core operating results from period to period by removing (i) the impact of the Company’s capital structure (interest expense from outstanding debt), (ii) tax consequences and (iii) asset base (depreciation and amortization). The Company uses EBITDA internally to monitor operating results and to evaluate the performance of its business. In addition, the compensation committee has used EBITDA in evaluating certain components of executive compensation, including performance-based annual incentive programs. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded to calculate EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner.  SUPERIOR GROUP OF COMPANIES, INC.
