Notably, our second quarter revenue exceeded our first quarter revenue for the first time since fiscal 2009. This first half sequential growth is not typical for Orbit Garant due to seasonal factors and it indicates that our momentum is building. Further, our expanded international operations are making a major contribution to our growth, demonstrating the success of our international expansion strategy, including our acquisition of Captagua Ingenier\u00eda S.A. in&nbsp;Chile. With access to a broader range of growth opportunities, our market position is stronger today than ever before,&#8221; said&nbsp;Eric Alexandre, President &amp; CEO of Orbit Garant. &#8220;We have now achieved 12 consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue growth. With this sustained growth in demand for our services, we&#8217;ve had to invest in scaling up our operations, training new employees, and mobilizing equipment and crews for new projects. These factors continue to be reflected in our gross margins. We expect to achieve gradual improvements in productivity and benefit from improving contract pricing in calendar 2018, which will enhance our margins and profitability.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second Quarter Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revenue for the three-month period ended&nbsp;December 31, 2017&nbsp;(&#8220;Q2 FY2018&#8221;) totalled&nbsp;$43.0 million, an increase of 57.0% from&nbsp;$27.4 million&nbsp;for the three-month period ended&nbsp;December 31, 2016&nbsp;(&#8220;Q2 FY2017&#8221;). Drilling&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;revenue was&nbsp;$28.3 million&nbsp;in Q2 FY2018, an increase of&nbsp;$8.3 million, or 41.8%, from&nbsp;$20.0 million&nbsp;in Q2 FY2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a higher number of metres drilled and increased specialized drilling activity. International revenue was&nbsp;$14.7 million&nbsp;in Q2 FY2018, up from&nbsp;$7.4 million&nbsp;in Q2 FY2017, representing an increase of&nbsp;$7.3 million. International includes&nbsp;$11.9 million&nbsp;in revenue from operations in&nbsp;Chile, compared to&nbsp;$5.3 million&nbsp;in Q2 FY2017. The remaining increase in International revenue was primarily attributable to increased drilling activity in&nbsp;Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orbit Garant drilled a total of 371,161 metres in Q2 FY2018, an increase of 30.0% compared to 285,583 metres drilled in Q2 FY2017. The Company&#8217;s average revenue per metre drilled in Q2 FY2018 increased to&nbsp;$115.64, from&nbsp;$95.81&nbsp;in Q2 FY2017. The increase in average revenue per metre drilled is primarily attributable to increased specialized drilling activity in&nbsp;Chile&nbsp;and&nbsp;Canada, as specialized drilling is priced at a higher rate than conventional drilling.&nbsp; The Company also benefitted from improved pricing on certain drilling contracts in&nbsp;Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gross profit for Q2 FY2018 was&nbsp;$5.1 million, up from&nbsp;$1.5 million&nbsp;in Q2 FY2017. Gross margin increased to 11.7% from 5.5% in Q2 FY2017. Depreciation expenses totalling&nbsp;$2.0 million&nbsp;are included in cost of contract revenue for&nbsp;Q2 FY2018, compared to&nbsp;$2.2 million&nbsp;in Q2 FY2017. Adjusted gross margin, excluding depreciation expenses, was 16.3% in Q2 FY2018, up from 13.6% in Q2 FY2017. The increase in gross profit, gross margin and adjusted gross margin was primarily attributable to higher drilling volumes in&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;and increased, higher-margin specialized drilling activity in both&nbsp;Chile&nbsp;and&nbsp;Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General and administrative (G&amp;A) expenses were&nbsp;$4.3 million&nbsp;(representing 10.0% of revenue) in Q2&nbsp;FY2018, compared to&nbsp;$4.0 million&nbsp;(representing 14.5% of revenue) in Q2 FY2017. Increased G&amp;A expenses reflect the Company&#8217;s recent growth in&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;and internationally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (&#8220;EBITDA&#8221;) totalled&nbsp;$3.3 million&nbsp;in Q2 FY2018, compared to a nominal amount in Q2 FY2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Company&#8217;s net earnings for Q2 FY2018 were&nbsp;$0.8 million, or&nbsp;$0.02&nbsp;per share, compared to a net loss of&nbsp;$1.9 million, or&nbsp;$0.05&nbsp;per share, in Q2 FY2017. Higher gross profit and margins, as discussed above, contributed to the Company&#8217;s net earnings for Q2 FY2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Q2 FY2018, the Company generated&nbsp;$5.5 million&nbsp;from financing activities, compared to&nbsp;$2.9 million&nbsp;in Q2 FY2017. The Company withdrew a net amount of&nbsp;$1.4 million&nbsp;during Q2 FY2018 on its secured, three-year revolving credit facility (the &#8220;Credit Facility&#8221;), compared to a repayment of&nbsp;$0.4&nbsp;million in Q2 FY2017. The Company&#8217;s long-term debt, including the current portion, under the Credit Facility was&nbsp;$16.5 million&nbsp;as at&nbsp;December 31, 2017, compared to&nbsp;$13.6 million&nbsp;as at&nbsp;June 30, 2017. In addition to the above, the Company provided a letter of credit to a bank of one of its subsidiaries of&nbsp;US$1.0 million&nbsp;(or approximately CAN$1.3 million) from the Credit Facility. Orbit Garant&#8217;s Chilean subsidiary (OG Chile) enters into receivable purchase agreements (commonly referred to as &#8220;factoring agreements&#8221;) with different banks as part of its normal working capital financing. As at&nbsp;December 31, 2017, trade receivables included&nbsp;$5.0 million&nbsp;related to factored accounts, compared to&nbsp;$0.7 million&nbsp;as at&nbsp;June 30, 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As at&nbsp;December 31, 2017, Orbit Garant had working capital of&nbsp;$50.9 million&nbsp;($30.8 million&nbsp;as at&nbsp;June 30, 2017), and 36,142,119 common shares issued and outstanding. The increase in working capital resulted from the reclassification of the outstanding amount under the Credit Facility from current to non-current liabilities as a new Credit Facility was signed on&nbsp;November 2, 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orbit Garant&#8217;s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and management&#8217;s discussion and analysis for the three and six-month periods ended&nbsp;December 31, 2017&nbsp;are available via the Company&#8217;s website at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitgarant.com\/en\/sites\/fog\/Main.aspx\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.orbitgarant.com<\/a>&nbsp;or SEDAR at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sedar.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">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&nbsp;Alain Laplante, Vice President and CFO, will host a conference call for analysts and investors on&nbsp;Wednesday, February 14, 2018&nbsp;at&nbsp;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&#8217;s 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<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>EBITDA:<\/td><td>Net earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Adjusted gross profit and margin:<\/td><td>Contract revenue less operating costs.
