Operational Highlights
"DEQ continues to execute our growth plan, manage our cash and we are prudently re-investing in our business" stated Joe Bertolone, President and Chief Executive Officer of DEQ. "Our Asian partnership is beginning to pay off with installations in Cambodia, Korea and Australia where we are breaking new ground. Our deployments in Cambodia and Australia are the first for DEQ in these countries. These are beachhead installations that will lead to more business in these regions. Our EBITDA remains on track as compared to a year ago, as we continue to expand our revenue base."

Note 1: |
Gross profit and operating expenses excluded non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. |
Note 2: |
DEQ uses EBITDA (Earnings before stock based compensation, Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and foreign exchange impact), a non-IFRS measure, to evaluate the Company's operating performance. Securities regulators require that issuers caution readers that measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have standardized meaning under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. |
