4 Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, patent litigation, restructuring and other costs. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA allows Route1 to compare its operating performance over time on a consistent basis.

Q2 2021 Material Events

  • On March 29, 2021, Route1 announced that it had acquired DataSource Mobility, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, VetSource Mobility, LLC (collectively "DSM"). Founded in 2007, DSM is primarily a reseller of ruggedized tablets and laptops along with associated accessories. DSM offers mobile devices to a wide range of sectors including public safety, utilities, field services, logistics and healthcare as well as state and local governments. DSM serves markets in the Southeastern United States including Alabama, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas. Route1 paid U.S. $1.3 million in cash at closing to acquire DSM and did not assume any debt.

Route1 also agreed to share with DSM's prior owners the gross profit generated by defined DSM accounts once the actual gross profit exceeds a threshold for the balance of the 2021 calendar year and 2022 calendar year. The threshold is U.S. $375,000 for the last nine months of 2021 and U.S. $500,000 for calendar year 2022.
