CEO Peter W. Knapper stated, "The primary components of our rationalization are now in place. While our first quarter revenue was impacted by a planned refurbishment of a major piece of equipment at our Italy location, the work was successfully completed, and the equipment was returned to service in late December, with excellent results. Further, we were able to improve EBITDA as compared to the same quarter last year, even with significantly lower revenue, reflecting the benefits of improved operating efficiencies demonstrated by our team. As we move forward, we are excited to be able to focus all our efforts on utilizing our new structure to serve our customers and stakeholders."
