(Unless otherwise noted, all financial amounts in this news release are expressed in U.S. dollars.)
FRANKLIN, IN / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2023 / IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. ('IBC' or the 'Company') (TSXV:IB)(OTCQB:IAALF) announces its financial results for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023.
Consolidated Results
Sales grew in the quarter and year-to-date compared to the comparative periods. The sales and profitability gains in the Copper Alloys division were offset by weaker performance in the EM division:
SELECTED RESULTS: Consolidated Operations ($000s)
'The Copper Alloys division continues to show strong revenue and performance growth across the board, and our new consolidated and vertically integrated foundry in Indiana has a large and growing order book that they continue to work to fulfill,' said Mark A. Smith, Chairman and CEO of IBC. 'While it was another challenging quarter for our Engineered Materials division, I am pleased to see progress being made toward improving yield recoveries and expanding sales leads.'
Copper Alloys Division
Copper Alloy division enjoyed its sixth consecutive quarter of rising sales. Operating performance has remained strong as the division takes advantage of its consolidated foundry and forge operations.
SELECTED RESULTS: Copper Alloys Division ($000s)
Engineered Materials Division
Engineered Materials has continued to experience lower demand for beryllium-aluminum products used to manufacture semiconductor chips as compared to the prior-year periods when demand was at historic highs. This is reflected in lower sales and current-period operating losses:

NON-IFRS MEASURES
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, IBC uses 'operating income (loss)' and 'Adjusted EBITDA', which are non-IFRS financial measures. IBC believes that operating income (loss) helps identify underlying trends in the business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that the Company includes in loss for the period, and provides useful information about core operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past performance and future prospects, and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by management in financial and operational decision-making. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator for cash flow generated by the business that is independent of IBC's capital structure.
Operating income (loss)and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to loss for the period or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Operating income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to IBC's data.
OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)
Operating income (loss) represents income or loss for the quarter, excluding foreign exchange loss, interest expense, interest income, other income (expense) and income taxes that the Company does not believe are reflective of its core operating performance during the periods presented. A reconciliation of the quarter and year-to-date loss to operating income (loss) follows:
ADJUSTED EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents our income (loss) for the period before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation. A reconciliation of the quarter and year-to-date loss to Adjusted EBITDA follows:
