ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 10, 2019
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX), a leading manufacturer and distributor of automotive and consumer technologies for the global markets, today announced financial results for its Fiscal 2020 second quarter ended August 31, 2019.
Pat Lavelle, President and Chief Executive Officer of VOXX International stated, "We are continuing to realign our operations to put VOXX in a position where more sustainable profitability will be achieved. While we do have some near-term headwinds with respect to the Automotive market, especially given the timing of new vehicle launches, we are very optimistic about our position as we've been awarded new OEM, rear-seat entertainment programs which will create incremental business beginning in late Fiscal 2021 and significant volume in the years that follow. Premium audio products continue to be well-received and we have expanded distribution. While consumer accessory product sales are down, this was expected due to our SKU rationalization programs and we outperformed our internal projections through the first half of the fiscal year. This past quarter, we launched new products in our biometrics segment; were awarded a new program in the healthcare industry; and are nearing completion of testing with other potential partners. Overall, operating losses declined through the first half of the year; we expect to be profitable in the second half of the year; and our balance sheet remains very strong. There are a lot of positive developments at VOXX and our outlook is improving."

Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share are not financial measures recognized by GAAP. EBITDA represents net (loss) income attributable to VOXX International Corporation, computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense and bank charges, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, investment gains, life insurance proceeds, as well tangible and intangible asset impairment charges. Depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and tangible and intangible asset impairment charges are non-cash items. Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share represents the Company's diluted earnings per common share based on Adjusted EBITDA.
We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share in this Form 10-Q because we consider them to be useful and appropriate supplemental measures of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share help us to evaluate our performance without the effects of certain GAAP calculations that may not have a direct cash impact on our current operating performance. In addition, the exclusion of certain costs or gains relating to certain events allows for a more meaningful comparison of our results from period-to-period. These non-GAAP measures, as we define them, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share should not be assessed in isolation from, are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.
