Tempe, Ariz. (April 7, 2017) – VirTra, Inc. (OTCQX: VTSI), (the “Company”), a leading provider of judgmental use of force simulators and firearms training simulators, today announced a correction to the reported amount of its Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016, which was previously reported in the Company’s press release issued on Friday, March 31, 2017 (the “Original Release”). The correction has no impact on the Company’s audited financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with GAAP, as reported in the Original Release.
The table below shows the corrected adjusted EBITDA:
Explanation and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-operating costs and income (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA are non-U.S. GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA means net income (i) plus depreciation, (ii) plus non-cash stock option expense, (iii) plus treasury stock canceled, (iv) minus other income – receipt of unclaimed property, and (v) plus provision for income taxes. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. We calculate adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items we do not consider to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to the Company’s investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and because adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, several of which present EBITDA and a form of adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net (loss) income, cash flows from operating activities and other consolidated income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
