backlog, reduce costs and streamline operations. This quarter we
continued to win important new projects, including two contracts to

the global strength of our innovative simulation solutions. Our
backlog remains strong, we have enhanced our leadership team and
Board, and we are actively pursuing exciting organic and inorganic
growth opportunities. We are focused on generating positive revenue
growth in 2017 while continuing to generate strong cash flow and

Q3 2016 RESULTS
Q3 2016 revenue totaled $14.4 million, compared to $14.8 million
in Q3 2015, reflecting a 5% increase in Performance Improvement
Solutions revenue and a 17% decrease in Nuclear Industry Training
and Consulting revenue due to a strategic shift in sales focus to
higher margin assignments. However, the slight decrease in Nuclear
Industry Training and Consulting gross profit percentage during the
three months ended Q3 2016 was primarily due to $1.3 million of
revenue recognized from a large customer that had lower than normal
margins of approximately 9%.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Reconciliation (in thousands)
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial
performance under generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”). Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, in
addition to operating profit, net income and other GAAP measures,
are useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s results because
it excludes certain items that are not directly related to the
Company’s core operating performance that may, or could, have a
disproportionate positive or negative impact on our results for any
particular period. Investors should recognize that EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly-titled
measures of other companies. This measure should be considered in
addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any
measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A
reconciliation of non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure in accordance with SEC Regulation
G follows:

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS
Reconciliation (in thousands, except per share amounts)
Adjusted Net Income and adjusted earnings (loss) per share
(“adjusted EPS”) are not measures of financial performance under
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management
believes adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, in addition to other
GAAP measures, are useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s
results because they exclude certain items that are not directly
related to the Company’s core operating performance that may, or
could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on our
results for any particular period. These measures should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior
to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A
