Outlook
"In the second quarter we saw a very strong resurgence of demand due both to the continued recovery from the pandemic and the pent-up demand as a result of the Texas freeze event in February. The demand improvement allowed us to realize price increases across our entire product offering. Some of these benefits were muted by supply chain disruptions both with our suppliers and service providers. While some issues remain, we took positive steps to mitigate impacts to our customers by expanding our owned trucking fleet and extending our third party trucking network.
"Demand in the third quarter remains strong reflecting the general economy and likely some inventory building in the supply chain as our customers deal with their own supply chain issues. We also continue to advance our organic growth program with two new commercial trials expected in the quarter. Benefits from restructuring acitivies in our South Hampton product handling function will reduce our costs in the second half of the year. Continued increases in the price of natural gasoline are also impacting margins on our market-based prime products.
"The second quarter was one of major progress at Trecora and we continue to believe that with an improving economic environment, increasing levels of vaccinations, and activity levels increasing in our end-markets, we expect to drive sustainable profitability in the quarters to come. The improvements that we have made in our company make us very confident about our progress and outlook for the second half of 2021," concluded Mr. Quarles.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This earnings press release includes non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and provide reconciliations from our most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to those measures.
We believe these financial measures provide users of our financial statements with supplemental information that may be useful in evaluating our operating performance. We also believe that such non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our operating results presented under GAAP, can be used to better assess our performance from period to period and relative to performance of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure. These measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, analysis of our results under GAAP.
We define EBITDA from continuing operations as net income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as EBITDA from continuing operations plus share-based compensation and plus or minus gains or losses on disposal of assets.

Statements regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of the Company's management for future operations and other statements that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as "outlook," "may," "will," "can," "shall," "should," "could," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "contemplates," "proposes," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "projects," "potential," "continue," "intend," or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or our achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from historical results, any future results, or performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial results and financial condition and that of our customers, suppliers, and other counterparties; general economic and financial conditions domestically and internationally; insufficient cash flows from operating activities; our ability to attract and retain key employees; feedstock and product prices; feedstock availability and our ability to access third party transportation; competition; industry cycles; natural disasters or other severe weather events (such as the Texas freeze event), health epidemics and pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and terrorist attacks; our ability to consummate extraordinary transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions, and realize the financial and strategic goals of such transactions; technological developments and our ability to maintain, expand and upgrade our facilities; regulatory changes; environmental matters; lawsuits; outstanding debt and other financial and legal obligations (including having to return the amounts borrowed under the PPP Loans or failing to qualify for forgiveness of such loans, in whole or in part); difficulties in obtaining additional financing on favorable conditions, or at all; local business risks in foreign countries, including civil unrest and military or political conflict, local regulatory and legal environments and foreign currency fluctuations; and other risks detailed in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, but not limited to, "Part I, Item 1A.
