Management Commentary
"We delivered strong third quarter case count and revenues. Demand for our products in off-premise distribution channels is strong," said Lawrence Firestone CEO. "We closed the acquisition of Azuñia just before the quarter end and are excited to integrate these great organic tequila products into our lineup as this will continue to add to our growth story going forward."
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Eastside Distilling's management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various financial metrics. In addition to the Company's GAAP results, management also considers the non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about the Company's operating results.
The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and the newly implemented lease accounting. The table below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
