LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, May 30, 2019 - Omni-Lite Industries Canada Inc. (the “Company”) (TSXV: OML; OTCQX: OLNCF) reported financial and operating results for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, ended March 31, 2019.
First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Results
First quarter fiscal 2019 revenue was US$2.4 million, representing an 82% increase compared to first quarter of fiscal 2018 of US$1.3 million. The first quarter fiscal 2019 results included contributions from the Monzite acquired business, and the continued focus and execution, strategically and operationally, on revenue conversion of the Company’s aerospace and defense bookings and backlog.
First quarter fiscal 2019 Adjusted EBITDA(1) was US$786,850 an increase of 305% compared to US$194,077 for first quarter fiscal 2018. First quarter fiscal 2019 results were offset by approximately US$140,000 investment in SG&A in support of enhancing senior management and systems capabilities to drive future growth and operational capabilities.
Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was US$235,011, or US$0.02 per diluted share, an increase of US$422,844 compared to first quarter 2018 loss of US$187,883, or US$(0.02). Increases in first quarter fiscal 2019 Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Net Income compared to the year ago quarterly period were largely a result of operating leverage gained from increased revenue on relatively fixed base of manufacturing costs and overhead, and product mix.
Management Comments
David Robbins, Omni-Lite’s CEO, stated "The pipeline of opportunities in the aerospace and defense markets are increasing as expected and is a driver of our growth. Our investments in inventory, manufacturing systems and personnel are beginning to yield the intended benefits, including an increase in productivity and higher intra-quarter revenue conversion rates, as we look to add more recurring aerospace and defense products to our manufacturing mix in an effort to meet our customers' demands and expectations.”

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation provision, gains (losses) on sale of assets, and non-recurring items, if any. These are non-IFRS financial measures, as defined herein, and should be read in conjunction with IFRS financial measures and they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS financial measures as used herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA along with IFRS financial measures enhances the understanding of our operating results and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance with that of other companies and estimating our enterprise value. EBITDA is also a useful tool in evaluating the operating results of the Company given the significant variation that can result from, for example, the timing of capital expenditures and the amount of working capital in support of our customer programs and contracts. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate the operating performance of the Company, to allocate resources and capital, and to evaluate future growth opportunities.
