References to “EBITDA” mean earnings (losses) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and references to “Adjusted EBITDA” mean EBITDA plus, as applicable for each relevant period, certain adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that they are useful indicators for evaluating operating performance, including the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and it uses EBITDA to evaluate prospective acquisitions. Although the Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the reasons noted above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations. Therefore, reviewers of the Company’s financial information should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include:Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on indebtedness;Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;The omission of the amortization expense associated with the Company’s intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA; andNeither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of operations.Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its businesses. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and specifically by using other GAAP measures, such as net income (loss), net sales, and operating income (loss), to measure operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and neither should be considered as an alternative to net loss or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:(Dollars in thousands)Three Months Ended September 30,Years Ended September 30,2025202420252024Net loss$(429)$(443)$(729)$(5,383)Less: Income from discontinued operations, net of tax629642043,243Loss from continuing operations(491)(1,407)(933)(8,626)Adjustments:Depreciation and amortization expense1,1091,1785,0204,784Interest expense, net3971,0151,6863,080Income tax expense6649718537EBITDA1,0811,2835,958(725)Adjustments:Foreign currency exchange (gain) loss, net (1)(1)(3)3(3)Other (income) expense, net (2)(138)50(541)302Loss on disposal of assets (3)10—104Gain on forgiven loan (4)(220)—(220)—Non-recurring severance expense (5)——(19)435Equity compensation expense (5)387173250Pension settlement/curtailment benefit (6)———60Transaction-related expenses adjustments (7)——(16)—LIFO impact (8)1,00736401862IT incident expense (benefit), net (9)—10—(594)Strategic alternative expense (10)—(126)—237Adjusted EBITDA$1,777$1,257$5,749$828(1)Represents the gain or loss from changes in the exchange rates between the functional currency and the foreign currency in which the transaction is denominated.(2)Represents miscellaneous non-operating income or expense, such as pension costs $0.2 million or other income from ERC of $0.7 million.(3)Represents the difference between the proceeds from the sale of operating equipment and the carrying value shown on the Company’s books.(4)Represents the gain on City of Cleveland loan forgiveness.(5)Represents the equity-based compensation expense recognized by the Company under the 2016 Plan due to granting of awards, awards not vesting and/or forfeitures and executive severance.(6)Represents expense incurred by its defined benefit pension plans related to settlement of pension obligations.(7)Represents credits related to transaction-related legal fees incurred primarily in connection with the unsuccessful attempt in which the Company was the acquisition target.(8)Represents the change in the reserve for inventories for which cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method.(9)Represents incremental information technology costs (and credits) as it relates to the cybersecurity incident and loss on insurance recovery.(10)Represents expense related to evaluation of strategic alternatives.Reference to the above activities can be found in the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.View source version on businesswire.com: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251222695001/en/SIFCO Industries, Inc.Jennifer Wilson, 216-881-8600www.sifco.comSource: SIFCO Industries, Inc.
