    Year-to-Date 2021 Highlights (September 30, 2021) 

    • Revenue was $109.3 million, a 54.0% increase compared with the same period of 2020. 
    • Gross profit was $20.1 million, a 49.2% increase compared with the same period of 2020. 
    • Gross margin was 18.4% of revenue compared with 19.0% for the same period of 2020. 
    • GAAP Net income per share attributable to common stockholders increased to $0.12 ($0.11 per diluted shared), compared with $0.04 per basic and diluted share during the same period of 2020. Included in the results for year-to-date of 2020 was other income of $1.4 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, related to PPP Loan proceeds to fund eligible expenses under the CARES Act.
    • Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA was $7.6 million, a 184.9% increase compared to the same period of 2020. 

    “The execution of our strategic initiatives resulted in another quarter of exceptional financial performance. During the third quarter, growth came from multiple sources including onboarding new customers, expansion of our services and locations with existing customers, continued economic recovery, as well as from contribution from acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA growth for the quarter and year-to-date period outpaced growth in gross profit dollars, an ongoing demonstration of the earnings leverage in our business,” said S. Ray Hatch, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although supply chain and labor issues may cause some volatility in certain end markets, we believe any impact from these conditions will be temporary. We believe that we remain well positioned on our path for growth with organic growth from new and established customers, along with expansion from acquisitions.”

    Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In this press release, a non-GAAP financial measure, "Adjusted EBITDA," is presented. From time-to-time, Quest considers and uses this supplemental measure of operating performance in order to provide an improved understanding of underlying performance trends. Quest believes it is useful to review, as applicable, both (1) GAAP measures that include (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, (iii) stock-based compensation expense, (iv) income tax expense, and (v) certain other adjustments, and (2) non-GAAP measures that exclude such items. Quest presents this non-GAAP measure because it considers it an important supplemental measure of Quest's performance. Quest's definition of this adjusted financial measure may differ from similarly named measures used by others. Quest believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company's GAAP measures. (See attached table "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.")
