Strong global demand and pricing for commodities, combined with our company's efforts to maximize the efficiency of our operations, resulted in higher sales and margins over 2006,”said Chairman and CEO Harry Kletter.“This is reflected in our ISA Recycling segment revenues, which continued to flourish with a 28% increase in 2007.

Another item affecting net income was a change in an estimate for the cost of goods sold within the Management Services division. The company recorded reductions of $858,249 in 2007 and $1,272,241 in 2006.

(1) EBITDA is calculated by the Company as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. The Company uses EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, we believe the EBITDA calculation provides additional information to investors and debt holders due to the fact that tax credits, tax rates and other tax related items vary by company. Additionally, years of service for fixed assets and amortizable assets are based on company judgment. Finally, companies have several ways of raising capital which can affect interest expense. We believe the presentation of EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of performance exclusive of these unique items. |
