U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2017 Results
FREDERICK, Md., April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SLCA) today announced net income of $2.5 million or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared with a net loss of $11.0 million or $(0.20) per basic and diluted share for the first quarter of 2016. The first quarter results were negatively impacted by $1.5 million in business development related expenses and $6.3 million in costs related to the restructuring of a vendor contract. Excluding these expenses, net of the $2.9 million tax effect, EPS was $0.09 per basic share for the quarter.
''I'm very pleased with the strong performances we saw from both of our operating segments during the quarter,'' said Bryan Shinn, president and chief executive officer. ''Continued industry recovery and powerful secular trends are driving record demand for our products and services in Oil and Gas while our Industrial and Specialty Products segment continues to make great progress in growing its bottom line through a combination of strategic price increases and the roll out of more higher margin products.''

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Segment Contribution Margin
Segment contribution margin is a key metric that management uses to evaluate our operating performance and to determine resource allocation between segments. Segment contribution margin excludes certain corporate costs not associated with the operations of the segment. These unallocated costs include costs related to corporate functional areas such as sales, production and engineering, corporate purchasing, accounting, treasury, information technology, legal and human resources.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to segment contribution margin.

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 (loss) the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:
