Quest Resource Holding Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
On track for double-digit growth in gross profit and adjusted EBITDA during 2024 and 2025
Significant new client win and multiple program expansion wins with existing clients
Added to the Russell 2000 and 3000 Indexes
THE COLONY, TX – August 8, 2024 – Quest Resource Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: QRHC) (“Quest”), a national leader in environmental waste and recycling services, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“I am incredibly proud of the positive reaction and feedback we have received from clients we are onboarding, one of which has already committed to expanding our engagement with additional services. It is great to see that investments in our platform to ensure seamless implementation combined with outstanding client service are resulting in significant value add for our clients. We believe we continue to differentiate Quest from the competition and are further solidifying our position as the waste and recycling services provider of choice,” said S. Ray Hatch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quest.
“We saw strong revenue growth with existing and new clients, which was offset by lower than expected production volumes at one of our largest clients due to soft conditions in their end market. After some client-related delays, implementations from all new client wins are now well underway. With the steady ramp of new clients, expanded engagements from existing clients, and new client wins from a growing pipeline, we remain on track for double digit gross profit dollar and adjusted EBITDA growth during 2024, 2025 and beyond.”

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, non-GAAP financial measures, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted Net Income” are presented. From time-to-time, Quest considers and uses these supplemental measures of operating performance in order to provide an improved understanding of underlying performance trends. Quest believes it is useful to review, as applicable, both (1) GAAP measures that include (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, (iii) stock-based compensation expense, (iv) income tax expense, and (v) certain other adjustments, and (2) non-GAAP measures that exclude such items. Quest presents these non-GAAP measures because it considers it an important supplemental measure of Quest’s performance. Quest’s definition of these adjusted financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by others. Quest believes these measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP measures. (See attached tables “Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted Net Income Per Share”).
Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which provides a “safe harbor” for such statements in certain circumstances. The forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our belief that we are differentiating ourselves from the competition and further solidifying our position as the waste and recycling services provider of choice, and our expectation that we remain on track for double digit gross profit dollar and adjusted EBITDA growth during 2024, 2025 and beyond. Actual events or results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, competition in the environmental services industry, the impact of the current economic environment, the spread of major epidemics (including Coronavirus) and other related uncertainties such as government-imposed travel restrictions, interruptions to supply chains, commodity price fluctuations, extended shut down of businesses, and other factors discussed in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements and to consult our SEC filings for additional risks and uncertainties that may apply to our business and the ownership of our securities. Our forward-looking statements are presented as of the date made, and we disclaim any duty to update such statements unless required by law to do so.
