Houston, TX, July 27, 2016 - Lapolla Industries, Inc. (“Lapolla” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: LPAD), a Houston-based global supplier and manufacturer of spray polyurethane foam insulation, reflective roof coatings, and equipment, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

“The first half results of 2016 further demonstrate the resolve our Company has to providing value to our shareholders,” stated Douglas J. Kramer, Chief Executive Officer and President of Lapolla. “All of our strategies and efforts revolve around delivering a quality product that is designed to reduce energy consumption in a cost efficient manner to select target markets around the globe. We see our business as a moral imperative towards combatting climate change. Having been in this business for over 25 years I have never been more excited about our industry and our company. We are more determined than ever on growing the bottom line and building shareholder value.”
Kramer continued, “We have built a great team of professionals in all aspects of our company from Sales, to having by the far the most qualified experienced Technical Service team in the industry, to our Finance and Operations team; as a result of their hard work and dedication, Lapolla has achieved a record Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2016. It is tremendously rewarding to be a part of a company that has come so far in such a short period of time.”
The company’s Chief Financial Officer, Jomarc Marukot added, “Our goal is to continue to grow profitably and provide a return to our shareholders. Our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (excluding non-scheduled principal payments) was 5.57:1 at June 30, 2016 vs 3.73:1 at December 31, 2015 and our leverage ratio was 2.2 at June 30, 2016 vs 3.5 at December 31, 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was $7.6 million vs $4.1 million for the period ended December 31, 2015. These are demonstrations of the significant financial performance the company has achieved in 2016.”
As a further commitment to our shareholders, Lapolla has moved to the OTCQX, “Moving up to the OTCQX is an important strategic step in our investor outreach commitment. Being traded on the OTCQX will allow for greater exposure, accessibility, and liquidity from the investment community,” commented Michael T. Adams, the company’s Chief Governance Officer.
“Lapolla continues to seek top industry performers, in terms of personnel and independent installers and distributors, to facilitate growth and promote our value proposition,” concluded Mr. Kramer.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose non-GAAP measures as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in its business, and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, we believe many investors use these non-GAAP measures to monitor the Company’s performance. Our presentation includes these non-GAAP financial measures, and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measures most directly comparable thereto. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income or loss. The non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and have important limitations as analytical tools. You should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and is defined differently by different companies, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA increased by total share based compensation included in net income or loss.
The Company believes that presenting EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides investors greater transparency to the information used by management for financial and operational decision-making, and allows investors to see the Company’s results "through the eyes" of management. We further believe that providing this information assists investors in understanding the Company’s operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.
We recognize that the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an evaluative tool may have certain limitations, including:
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and impacts our ability to generate profits and cash flows. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense may have material limitations;
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not include depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets expense. Because we use capital assets, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate profits. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets expense may have material limitations;
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not include tax expenses. Because the payment of taxes is a necessary element of our costs, any measure that excludes tax expense may have material limitations;
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and
•Adjusted EBITDA does not include share-based compensation expense.
