David Bradley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nexeo Solutions stated, "I am pleased to report we delivered our third consecutive quarter of double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth. Our results are attributable to our team’s commitment to connecting our customers and suppliers utilizing our proprietary operating platform which gives us the ability to react in real-time to changing market conditions and provide a unique level of transparency to our partners." Mr. Bradley continued, "We continue to execute well on our strategy and with the macro-industrial environment showing signs of improvement, we have good momentum in the business as we enter fiscal year 2018."

Excluding the impact of Ultra Chem, the increase in revenues was driven by a 7.0% increase in volume as well as 5.6% higher average selling prices.
Gross profit was $109.1 million, or 11.1%, and $89.6 million, or 10.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by the increase in both volume and average selling prices across the Chemicals and Plastics lines of business as well as more effective pricing strategy in the Other segment during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
The Company reported net income of $13.6 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Basis of Presentation
As a result of the business combination, the Company was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the historical operations of Nexeo Solutions Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries was deemed to be the accounting predecessor. The business combination was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting for the assets and liabilities of the acquired company that is based on the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on a different basis and are, therefore, not directly comparable without certain adjustments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA was derived based on methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company’s management has included this measure because they believe it is indicative of the Company’s operating performance, is used by investors and analysts to evaluate the Company and can facilitate comparisons across periods. As presented by the Company’s management, this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, certain non-GAAP financial measures as presented for financial reporting purposes herein may differ from similarly titled measures in the applicable covenants in our credit facilities.
The Company evaluates performance on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA, which it defines as its consolidated net income (loss), plus the sum of interest expense, net of interest income, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization, other operating expenses, net (which primarily consists of acquisition and integration-related expenses, employee stock-based compensation expense, and other restructuring and transformational expenses), impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt and other income (expense), net, gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, debt refinancing costs and other non-operating activity. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of the Company’s operating performance and that it is used by investors and analysts to evaluate companies with similar capital structures. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of operating performance because:
- Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization;
- the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets;
- the Company considers gains (losses) on the acquisition, disposal and impairment of assets as resulting from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations; and
- other significant one-time items, while periodically affecting the Company's results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of its results.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Nexeo Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is included at the end of this release.
