Commenting regarding the Quarter's results, Richard Conn, CFO of Guitammer, said, "through nine months of 2015, we have seen a sharp rise in our revenue as a direct result of increased cinema installations and having adequate inventory levels to enable us to meet customer demand. Late in 2014, we entered into a joint venture agreement that created LFT Manufacturing. LFT Manufacturing's ability to provide us with key inventory items has proven critical in increasing revenue and meeting customer demand."
Mark A. Luden, President of Guitammer, said, "In addition to the overall sales increase we are very pleased with the accelerating pace of adoption of our products in the cinema market, esp. with the US largest and second largest exhibitors. When these new cinemas are active we anticipate more than 2mil movie goers per year in the US will experience a movie enhanced by our "4D Cinema powered by ButtKicker" technology. Additionally our efforts to further deploy and commercialize our broadcast technology are on-going and we expect to announce further deployments of our broadcast technology in late Q4 of this year or early Q1 of next year."

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock warrant expense, payment of stock and warrants to consultants and employee stock-based compensation. Although EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Guitammer believes that these non-GAAP measures will allow for a better evaluation of the operating performance of the business and facilitate meaningful comparison of the results in the current period to those in prior periods and future periods. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining Guitammer's operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net loss, follows:
