Harry Kletter, founder and Chairman of ISA, stated, "The market demand for our stainless products was extremely volatile in 2011. While this resulted in short-term negative results, we believe the long-term outlook for this business remains strong. We have continued to invest in our people and our processes, and we expect to achieve improved profitability in our recycling segment. We have brought new talent into the organization, including the addition of two new board members with exemplary credentials, Dr. David Russell and Ms. Rudy Scarito. We believe we can benefit from their varied but relevant backgrounds. While we are still in the early days of 2012, we are beginning to see some benefits from our efforts."
Brian Donaghy, President and Chief Operating Officer of ISA, stated, "We have learned a lot since 2009 when we acquired the stainless steel business and started operating our shredder. With more than 50 acres of land, access to three major modes of transportation and ample on-site storage facilities, we recognize that we have an ideally located, state-of-the-art facility. Despite challenging industry conditions, which are apparent throughout the market, we have maintained strong relationships with both suppliers and customers. Our young team continues to season and we continue to believe ISA's performance will steadily improve throughout 2012 and beyond."

(1) EBITDA is calculated by the Company as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. The Company uses EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, we believe the EBITDA calculation provides additional information to investors and debt holders due to the fact that tax credits, tax rates and other tax related items vary by company. Additionally, years of service for fixed assets and amortizable assets are based on company judgment. Finally, companies have several ways of raising capital which can affect interest expense. We believe the presentation of EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of performance exclusive of these unique items.
