U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SLCA) today announced net income of $21.3 million or $0.40 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2013 compared with net income of $18.8 million or $0.36 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2012. Earnings in the quarter were negatively impacted by additional one-time expense of $1.6 million due to costs related to the refinancing and the early extinguishment of the Company’s term loan, due in June, 2017. Excluding this one-time expense, earnings per share for the quarter were $0.42 per basic and diluted share.
Bryan Shinn, president and chief executive officer commented, “U.S. Silica delivered another strong performance in the third quarter, once again demonstrating the effectiveness of our logistics-driven business model. I was particularly pleased to see the 600 basis point sequential increase in our oil and gas contribution margin dollars per ton. I am also very encouraged by the strong secular demand trends driven by increased drilling efficiencies and overall greater proppant use per well. We continue to be right on track to deliver our 2016 goal of doubling company adjusted EBITDA.”

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance, cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized, and excludes certain non-recurring charges that may recur in the future. Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and by using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. Our measure of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA.
