Improvement in EBITDA but Deterioration in Earnings: EBITDA in Q2-2019 was $92.1k versus $28.2k in Q2-2018. The company reported a net loss of -$0.60 million (EPS: -$0.02) in Q2-2019, versus a net loss of -$0.33 million (EPS: -$0.01) in Q2-2018. Although EBITDA was higher YoY, the company’s bottom line was adversely affected by higher depreciation, and interest and bank charges.
Portfolio Update: Previously announced acquisition of an undisclosed electrical efficiency company has been pushed from Q3-2019 to Q4-2019. Although we had anticipated this acquisition to close in Q3-2019, the delay does not impact our revenue forecasts as we had initially modelled this acquisition to be accretive to revenue starting 2020.
