Chief Executive Officer, Rodney Schutt, stated, “We started the quarter off strong with the Health Diagnostics multi-location order. Since then, our pipeline for new systems sales continues to expand, however; the Company is experiencing a delay in system sales closing, likely attributable to the overall paralysis of capital healthcare IT spending within the industry.” He continued, “Alternatively, we are seeing an increase in ancillary and upgrade sales for existing customers. This further demonstrates the Company’s strong customer following, which provides positive references for new system prospects.”

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information

The term EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP financial measure that the management of Aspyra believes is useful to investors in evaluating the Company's results. EBITDA is defined as income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense and certain non-cash charges, specifically Aspyra’s non-cash compensation charges. These items are not included in EBITDA as management considers the charges to be items that are not indicative of the performance of its underlying business. EBITDA is presented because it is commonly used by certain investors and analysts to evaluate a company's ability to service debt. However, our method of computation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA, as defined, is not a measure of performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Net income/(loss), Income/(loss) from operations, Cash flows from operating activities or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. The most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP to EBITDA is Income/(loss) from operations.
