HAWK CFO Jerry Ulrich added, "Adjusted EBITDA grew 95%, higher than adjusted operating revenue growth due to leverage in sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Excluding the reduction in cash taxes payable related to our 2014 spin-off from Safeway and the realization of acquisition-related net operating losses, adjusted net income grew 107% and adjusted diluted EPS grew 89% during the third quarter. Further, excluding 2014 and 2015 acquisitions, adjusted operating revenues grew 22% and adjusted EBITDA grew 49%."
