EHT Provides Clarification of Prior Disclosure
TORONTO, Nov. 5, 2015 /CNW/ - Enerdynamic Hybrid Technologies Corp. ("EHT" or the "Company") (TSX-V: EHT) announces that, as a result of review by staff of the Ontario Securities Commission, we are issuing the following news release. The Company wishes to clarify certain disclosure in the Company's news release, disseminated on the 2nd day of September, 2015 (the "News Release").
Revenue for the first half year ended June 30, 2015
The News Release disclosed that the Company's "…revenue for the first half year ended June 30, 2015 (unaudited) was a combined CAD $26.6 million with EBITDA of approximately CAD $7.6 million." The Company wishes to clarify that the News Release was intended to provide readers with an illustration of total revenue generated by the Company, and calculated on a pro forma basis, for the first half year ended June 30, 2015, in the event that the acquisition of EVIA Finance S.A.R.L. ("EVIA") had been completed effective January 1, 2015. The News Release was not intended to convey that the Company's actual revenue for the first half year ended June 30, 2015 was CAD $26.6 million; rather, the Company's intent, in light of the acquisition of EVIA, was to provide guidance to investors as to what the Company's consolidated financial performance would have been for the 6 month period ended June 30, 2015, including EVIA as a subsidiary of the Company for such period.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As set out above, the News Release disclosed that the Company's "…revenue for the first half year ended June 30, 2015 (unaudited) was a combined CAD $26.6 million with EBITDA of approximately CAD $7.6 million." Similar to the foregoing clarification regarding the disclosure of the Company's revenue for the first half year ended June 30, 2015, the Company wishes to clarify that EBITDA of approximately CAD $7.6 million was intended to illustrate the Company's EBITDA, calculated on a pro forma basis, in the event that the acquisition of EVIA had been completed effective January 1, 2015. The Company wishes to clarify that EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and, as such, the Company wishes to add the following disclosure to accompany the Company's use of the non-GAAP financial measure in the News Release. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure used by management and the Company's board of directors to assess performance and in making decisions regarding prospective acquisitions. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of an issuer's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flow, which either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with such issuer's GAAP. EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by the Company's GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Revenue Guidance
The News Release further disclosed that "In November 2014, the Company provided guidance of $40 million in revenue for the fiscal year 2015 (year-end November 30, 2015). Management believes this guidance remains applicable…" The Company wishes to clarify that the revenue guidance of $40 million represents a pro forma revenue amount assuming that the acquisition of EVIA had been completed effective January 1, 2015. The Company confirms that this pro forma revenue guidance remains applicable based on its anticipated consolidated financial results.
