Fiscal Year 2015 Financials
Fiscal 2015 was another record year for ARI. The Company achieved record results in total revenues, operating income, Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations.

The Company also returned to a net profit, with net income of $1.1 million or $0.07 per share, compared with a net loss of $0.1 million or ($0.01) per share in the prior year.

Management Discussion
Roy W. Olivier, President and Chief Executive Officer of ARI, commented, “As a result of successfully executing on our strategy in fiscal 2015, it was a transformative year for ARI in many respects. In addition to another year of record results, we closed three acquisitions that complement ARI’s strategic opportunities and position us well for the future. Just a few years ago, we were effectively serving four vertical markets with two products and a total addressable market of about 25,000 dealers in the U.S. As a result of the actions we have taken in the past few years, we are now serving seven vertical markets with four products and services and a total addressable market of about 150,000 dealers in the U.S. I believe this better positions our Company for continued growth.

William Nurthen, Chief Financial Officer of ARI, commented, “Our operating profit and Adjusted EBITDA performance for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015 were especially strong considering the impact of costs related to acquisitions. The Q4 results were impacted by approximately $200,000 in transaction costs, and the fiscal year 2015 results were impacted by more than $500,000 in transactions costs related to the three acquisition completed in the year.”

Fiscal 2015 Conference Call
ARI will conduct a conference call on Wednesday October 28, 2015, at 4:30 p.m. EDT, to review the financial results for the year ended and fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2015. Interested parties can access the conference call by dialing 877.359.3639 or 408.427.3725 and referring to Conference ID: 10333777. The conference call is also being webcast and is available via the Company’s investor relations website at investor.arinet.com. A replay of the webcast will be archived on the Company’s investor relations website for 60 days.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding stock-based compensation. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful indicator of our performance that provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations. While management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA can be found in this release and at the Company’s investor relations website for all periods presented.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from non-operating expenses and expenses pertaining to prior period investing activities, particularly given the Company’s significant investments in capitalized software and its continuing efforts in completing acquisitions, which typically result in significant depreciation and amortization expense in subsequent periods. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating potential acquisition targets and analyzing the pro forma impact of the acquisition on the Company. However, Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations as an analytical tool and should only be used cautiously in addition to, and never as a substitute for, operating income, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company began using EBITDA, adjusted to add back non-cash, stock-based compensation, as a performance measure during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. All prior periods have been updated to reflect this presentation.
