“Despite the significant impact of supply chain shortages, we achieved fourth quarter and annual positive Adjusted EBITDA,” said Anthony Angelini, President and Chief Executive Officer of TSS. “The decline in revenue year over year was primarily related to our opportunistic reseller revenues. This decline in revenue had a very small impact on our overall gross profits as we benefited from a favorable revenue mix and cost management initiatives. Our current backlog of projects is very large and we expect to see a large improvement in our 2022 results as supply chain shortages improve and we deliver our backlog.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure not defined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, and provision for bad debts. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this supplemental measure of operating performance is helpful in comparing our operating results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding non-cash items that may, or could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on our results of operations in any particular period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined under GAAP. Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, and this reconciliation is located under the heading “Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation” following the Consolidated Statements of Operations included in this press release.
