MARKHAM, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 12, 2022 / iFabric Corp. ('iFabric' or the 'Company') (TSX:IFA)(OTCQX:IFABF), today announced its financial results for its second quarter and six months ended March 31, 2022.
'I am pleased to report the results for Q2, 2022. Our Lingerie Division's impressive rebound to pre-pandemic numbers continues. Had it not been for a large new program delayed by retail customer of our Intelligent Fabrics Division, both divisions would have recorded growth in the quarter. Fortunately, this delayed program has now commenced shipping. The added cost associated with the hiring of new staff in both our sales and product development teams, along with high non-operational costs, impacted the bottom line results of the quarter. The additional staff's benefit to results will be seen as we move forward to new highs,' said Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric.
'Due to the global logistics challenges, we also took the decision to bring in much larger quantities of inventory than normal, well ahead of our usual purchasing cycles. This will allow us to maintain our exceptional fulfilment record and make timely deliveries to our customers. With firm customer commitments in hand for the second half of fiscal 2022, this is shaping up to be another record setting year for iFabric,' concluded Mr. Karon.

The Company believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide important information regarding the operational performance and related trends of the Company's business. In this document and in the Company's consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, all financial data is prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess its operating performance without the effects of (as applicable): current and deferred tax expense, finance costs, interest income, depreciation and amortization of plant assets, other gains and losses, impairment loss, share-based compensation and other non-recurring items. The Company adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and do not reflect its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be representative of net earnings from operations or an alternative measure to cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.
