• | Net income of $2.0 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter 2017, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter 2016 |

“We executed well in the first quarter, advancing new product launches and programs according to plan,” said John Weinhardt, Chief Executive Officer. “Our product sales increased sequentially each month during the first quarter, which we believe is a solid indication of the market’s response to our new and existing products. Operationally, we made investments during the first quarter to scale our production capabilities for our TwinShape ducts in advance of the launch of a new program for a popular mid-size SUV with a major OEM which we believe will benefit our operations beginning in the second quarter of 2017 and into 2018 as additional TwinShape programs come online. New product sales in our industrial businesses are up year over year, as expected.”
“Independent industry data indicates that the automotive industry continues to experience a shift in the mix of new vehicle sales during the first quarter and initiated a modest slowdown in production when compared to the forecast used to derive our 2017 plan as a result of excess inventory due to declining consumer demand for certain vehicles,” continued Weinhardt. “We are monitoring these trends closely, but given the trends we are currently seeing in our new product sales thus far in 2017 and our current visibility into automotive market trends, we are reaffirming our full year outlook for 2017.”
Weinhardt concluded, “We remain focused on the innovation of new products that support the organic growth of our business with both existing and new customers, while working to advance cross-selling opportunities that capitalize on the operating leverage inherent in our business model. We continue to opportunistically evaluate strategic acquisitions that can augment our product portfolio and accelerate long-term growth, but remain highly selective and focused on accretive acquisitions that adhere to our stringent selection criteria."
First Quarter Financial Summary
Total revenue for the quarter ended April 2, 2017 increased to $47.9 million, up 19.7%, or $7.9 million from $40.0 million during the same period last year. The increase was driven by the acquisition of Intasco which closed on April 29, 2016, as well as from the introduction of new products and increased market penetration.
Gross profit for the quarter period ended April 2, 2017 was $11.1 million, or 23.2% of total revenue, compared to $9.6 million, or 24.0% of total revenues, for the corresponding period last year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily a result of an unfavorable product mix and costs incurred in connection with the launch of product technologies new to some of our facilities.
Net income for the quarter ended April 2, 2017 was $2.0 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher sales quarter over quarter, partially offset by lower gross profit as a percentage of sales as described above.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended April 2, 2017 was $5.4 million compared to $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily a result of earnings generated from higher sales. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP results.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended April 2, 2017 was $0.23 compared to $0.21 in the first quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily a result of higher earnings, partially offset by the margin decline described above and an increase in weighted average shares outstanding. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding increased from approximately 9.8 million in the first quarter last year to approximately 9.9 million in the first quarter this year. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP results.
Further non-cash purchase accounting impacts associated with the Company's acquisitions are detailed in the Purchase Accounting Impacts and Other Effects table below accompanying this release.
Balance Sheet Summary
As of April 2, 2017 the Company had approximately $713,000 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to January 1, 2017 when the Company had $706,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share in this press release to provide a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash stock award, non-recurring integration expense, non-recurring step-up of inventory basis to fair market value, non-recurring IPO costs, transaction fees related to our acquisitions, restructuring expenses, and one-time consulting and licensing ERP system implementation costs as we implement a new ERP system at all locations. We calculate Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share based upon earnings before non-cash stock awards, non-recurring expenses, transaction fees, and restructuring expenses, including the tax impact associated with these adjusting items. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are useful performance measures used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance and earnings on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) can provide alone. Our board and management also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain compensation programs and plans for Company management. In addition, the financial covenants in our senior secured credit facility are based on Adjusted EBITDA, as presented in this press release, subject to dollar limitations on certain adjustments and certain other addbacks permitted by our senior secured credit facility. These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for analysis of Unique Fabricating's results as reported under GAAP.
