Frisco, TX – November 14, 2013 – Quest Resource Holding Corporation (QRHC), a leading provider of integrated sustainability and recycling solutions to businesses, today announced three and nine months financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter 2013 Highlights:

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2013, revenues increased by $28,562,728 to $28,898,614 from $335,886 in the third quarter of 2012. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $29,614,116, an increase of $28,823,872 over revenues of $790,244 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue recognized after the acquisition of Quest Resource Management Group, LLC on July 16, 2013, which contributed approximately $28,609,000 in revenues.

The loss per share on a basic and diluted basis was ($0.10) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a loss per share of ($0.01) for the comparable period in 2012. For the nine month period, the loss per share on a diluted basis was ($0.21), compared to a loss per share of ($0.08) for the comparable period in 2012.

EBITDAS was $(5,114,864) and $(7,053,255) for three month and nine month periods, respectively, and included over $5.1 million in non-recurring charges incurred in the third quarter of 2013.

“We are pleased with the performance of the Company during the third quarter, particularly in light of the fact that our results were significantly impacted by a one-time $3.4 million goodwill impairment charge as well as roughly $1.7 million in costs related to our recent reorganization,” commented Brian Dick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quest Resource Holding Corporation. “Our financial condition remains strong, with adequate liquidity and minimal debt. Going forward, we will continue to focus on generating working capital by increasing sales, maintaining efficient operating expenses, as well as through additional initiatives.”

“We are very excited about our recently announced acquisition of the national accounts portfolio assets from Southern Waste Systems. I believe this is only the beginning, as we fully intend on seeking additional strategically targeted acquisitions to grow revenues and continue to gain a significant foothold in a multi-billion dollar industry. Our Company continues to provide a one-stop shop recycling solution across the entire waste stream to our existing customers. Our programs are designed to enable regional and national companies to maximize the value of their recyclables and lower cost. These programs are offered at over 14,000 client locations every month. We are currently implementing additional new contracts as we continue to position our company for strong future growth.”

The company will file its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2013.
