We expect our organic growth to continue and we are actively evaluating additional acquisitions where we can leverage our franchising, marketing, operational, logistics and financial expertise across brands. We are also making progress with our pending acquisition of Tilted Kilt. Although this transaction has taken longer than anticipated, the acquisition remains on track and we look forward to providing further updates in the near future."
Alex Andre, CFO of ARC Group, commented, "Once again we have achieved positive EBITDA and, as we continue to increase revenue, we expect to significantly enhance our profitability. We believe our acquisition growth strategy targeting growing and profitable businesses, as well as underperforming businesses that can be quickly turned around, will position us with a unique, scalable and diversified portfolio. I am excited to be a part of the ARC team to help support the Company in this growth phase."
