This past quarter still represents our second highest revenue total for this three-month period in company history. With the recent rapid expansion of our global operations, our margins are more impacted by the slowdown in drilling activity. Our profitability for the quarter was also impacted by costs related to our acquisition in Burkina Faso,\u201d said Eric Alexandre, President &amp; CEO of Orbit Garant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re pleased with the early results of the Burkina Faso acquisition, with drill deployment up from seven at the time of acquisition to 12 at quarter-end. Looking more broadly at our business, with global gold and base metal reserves of mining companies continuing to be depleted, we expect mineral exploration spending to increase in order to address this decline. With our expanded international presence and our strong position in Canada, we are increasingly well positioned to capitalize on market opportunities as they arise,\u201d added Mr. Alexandre.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second Quarter Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 (\u201cQ2 FY2019\u201d) totalled $33.7 million, compared to $43.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 (\u201cQ2 FY2018\u201d). Drilling Canada revenue was $23.6&nbsp;million, compared to $28.3 million in Q2 FY2018,&nbsp;reflecting a decline in metres drilled during the quarter, partially offset by an increase in average revenue per metre drilled. Drilling International revenue was $10.1 million, compared to $14.7 million in Q2 FY2018. The decline in international revenue is primarily attributable to the conclusion of a large drilling contract in Chile, partially offset by increased drilling activity in Burkina Faso.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orbit Garant\u2019s fleet drilled a total of 311,318 metres in the quarter, compared to 371,161&nbsp;metres drilled in the very strong Q2 FY2018 period. Consolidated average&nbsp;revenue per metre drilled decreased 6.7% to $107.85 compared to $115.64 in Q2 FY2018. The decline in consolidated average revenue per metre drilled is primarily attributable to a lower proportion of specialized drilling in international markets in the quarter, partially offset by higher prices on drilling contracts in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gross profit and gross margin for Q2 FY2019 were $2.9 million and 8.6%, respectively, compared to $5.1 million and 11.7%, respectively, in Q2 FY2018. Depreciation expenses totalling $2.2 million are included in cost of contract revenue for Q2 FY2019 compared $2.0 million in Q2 FY2018. Adjusted gross margin, excluding depreciation expenses, was 15.2% in Q2 FY2019, compared to 16.3% in Q2 FY2018. The decrease in gross profit and margins was primarily attributable to lower drilling volumes in Canada, partially offset by higher gross profit and margins on international contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General and administrative (G&amp;A) expenses were $4.8 million (representing 14.4% of revenue) in Q2 FY2019, compared to $4.3 million (representing 10.0% of revenue) in Q2 FY2018. Increased G&amp;A expenses are primarily attributable to $0.7 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the Company\u2019s acquisition of&nbsp;the drilling business&nbsp;of Projet Production International BF S.A. (\u201cPPI\u201d) in Burkina Faso&nbsp;during Q2 FY2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (\u201cEBITDA\u201d)\u00b9totalled $0.9 million in Q2 FY2019, compared to $3.3 million in Q2 FY2018.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Company\u2019s net loss for Q2 FY2019 was $1.7 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to net earnings of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share, in Q2 FY2018. Lower gross profit and margins, as discussed above, and costs related to the acquisition of PPI contributed to the Company\u2019s net loss for Q2 FY2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Q2 FY2019, Orbit Garant generated $7.6 million from financing activities compared to $5.5 million in Q2&nbsp;FY2018. The Company drew down a net amount of $7.1 million during Q2 FY2019 on its secured, three-year revolving credit facility (the \u201cCredit Facility\u201d), compared to $1.4 million in Q2 FY2018, largely due to the financing impact of the PPI acquisition. As at&nbsp;December 31, 2018, the Company had $27.1 million drawn under the Credit Facility, compared to $18.1 million as at June 30, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As at December 31, 2018, Orbit Garant had working capital of $57.1 million ($53.3 million as at June 30, 2018), and&nbsp;37,008,756&nbsp;common shares issued and outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orbit Garant\u2019s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and management\u2019s discussion and analysis for the three and six-month periods ended&nbsp;December 31, 2018&nbsp;are available on the Company\u2019s website at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/orbitgarant.com\/\">orbitgarant.com<\/a>&nbsp;or SEDAR at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sedar.com\/\">www.sedar.com<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conference call<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eric Alexandre, President and CEO, and Alain Laplante, Vice President and CFO, will host a conference call&nbsp;for analysts and investors on Thursday, February 14, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. (ET).

However, certain measures used in this discussion and analysis do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and could be calculated differently by other companies. The Company believes that certain non-IFRS financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable IFRS financial measures, are useful to investors and other readers because the information is an appropriate measure to evaluate the Company\u2019s operating performance. Internally, the Company uses this non-IFRS financial information as an indicator of business performance. These measures are provided for information purposes, in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EBITDA:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjusted gross margin:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contract revenue less operating costs.
