(1) TRC believes net service revenue (NSR) best reflects the value of services provided and is the most meaningful indicator of revenue performance.
(2) TRC presents EBITDA because it believes that it is a useful tool for the Company, its lenders and its investors to measure the Company’s ability to meet debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. As used in the presentation, EBITDA is operating income plus depreciation and amortization.
(3) Excludes acquisition and integration expenses of $1.6 million and $3.7 million for the three months and nine months ended March 25, 2016, respectively, and a goodwill impairment charge of $24.5 million for the three months and nine months ended March 25, 2016. For a complete reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP results, please see the associated reconciliation tables, which are posted on the Company’s website.
                     

“Our third quarter results were driven by robust demand in the majority of our markets. NSR was $128.7 million, up 6% from $121.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase was driven primarily by large capital projects in our Power segment, including a significant program management project in California,” said Chris Vincze, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Infrastructure segment also contributed to NSR growth, driven by transportation-related spending associated with several large public-private partnership projects. Our strong topline performance drove operating income of $7.0 million, net income of $4.5 million and EBITDA of $11.5 million."
