Fourth Quarter of 2016 Financial Review
The Company's sales were $1.45 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $1.84 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $393,000, or 21%. The decrease in sales was due to the impact of the closure of our former New Jersey processing center in 2015, partially offset by the addition of new customers.
The Company realized a gross profit of $131,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to a gross loss of $358,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, as cost of goods sold decreased primarily as a result of the closure of the New Jersey processing facility in December 2015 and year over year improvements in operations; in particular, production improvements.
The Company reported an operating loss of $645,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to a $9.6 million operating loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. 2015 included an impairment loss, primarily related to exiting the New Jersey facility, of $8.6 million. Excluding the $8.6 million impairment loss, the operating loss for the quarter decreased approximately $338,000 as the improvement in gross margin was partially offset by increased operating expenses related to salaries and wages and general and administrative expenses as the Company built out its in house technical resources and ramped up its sales efforts.
The Company reported net income of $283,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of $9.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. 2016 includes an income tax benefit of $1.0 million related to the WEBA acquisition. 2015 included an impairment loss, primarily related to exiting the New Jersey facility, of $8.6 million.
The Company reported adjusted EBITDA of negative $423,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to negative $9.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. 2015 included an impairment loss, primarily related to exiting the New Jersey facility, of $8.6 million.
Full Year of 2016 Financial Review
The Company's sales were $5.59 million for 2016, compared to $7.36 million for 2015, a decrease of $1.77 million, or 24%. The decrease in sales was due to the impact of the closure of our former Elizabeth, New Jersey processing center in 2015, partially offset by the addition of new customers.
The Company realized a gross profit of $308,000 for 2016, compared to a gross loss of $803,000 for 2015, as cost of goods sold decreased primarily as a result of the closure of our Elizabeth, New Jersey processing facility in December 2015 and year over year improvements in operations, which are primarily attributable to significant production improvements.
The Company reported an operating loss of $3.18 million for 2016, compared to a $12.28 million operating loss for 2015. 2015 included an impairment loss, primarily related to exiting the New Jersey, of $8.6 million. Excluding the $8.6 million impairment loss, the operating loss for the year decreased approximately $463,000 as the improvement in gross margin was partially offset by increased operating expenses related to salaries and wages and general and administrative expenses as the Company built out its in house technical resources and ramped up its sales efforts and incurred approximately $500,000 of costs in the first half of 2016 related to the wind down of the NJ facility.
The Company reported a net loss of $2.26 million for 2016, compared to $12.45 million for 2015. 2016 includes an income tax benefit of $1.0 million related to the WEBA acquisition. 2015 included an impairment loss, primarily related to exiting the New Jersey facility, of $8.6 million.

Business Update
We made good progress in the fourth quarter of 2016 in several areas; most notably sustaining higher levels of production across our facilities. These production gains had a direct and visible impact on our fourth quarter and full year 2016 results. These gains were the result of thoughtful capital expenditures and the hard work of our entire operations team.
We also made significant progress in advancing our quality assurance program with a collaborative effort between our operations team and our technical resources personnel. Producing high quality products - every batch and every day - is key to the success of our business, and having a quality assurance program that supports us in producing high quality products is important. We are very proud of the products we produce and the people that make them.
We launched an aggressive sales effort in the fourth quarter of 2016. This would not have been possible without the great people of our company, including our customer service team, that provide our customers with best-in- class customer service each and every day. Our sales efforts are just getting started, but we are excited about the opportunities for growth.
Finally, we closed 2016 with several transactions - the acquisitions of WEBA, RS&T and certain Dow assets - that we expect will have a significant positive impact in 2017 and beyond.

Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
(non-GAAP)

| Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||
| 2016 | 2015 | |||||||

Presented above is the non-GAAP financial measure representing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation (which we refer to as "Adjusted EBITDA") and the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss. Adjusted EBITDA should be viewed as supplemental to, and not as an alternative for, net income (loss) and cash flows from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management as an additional measure of our Company's performance for purposes of business decision-making, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, and evaluating potential acquisitions or divestitures. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA help our management identify additional trends in our Company's financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of net income (loss) and cash flows from operations. In addition, we may use Adjusted EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to many of our employees in order to evaluate our Company's performance. Further, we believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in their analysis of our results and helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different effective income tax rates and tax attributes, different capitalized asset values and/or different forms of employee compensation. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, particularly those items that are recurring in nature. In order to compensate for those limitations, management also reviews the specific items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, but included in net income (loss), as well as trends in those items.
