Rye, NY – December 8, 2023 – LICT Corporation (“LICT” or the “Company”; OTC Pink®: LICT) reports unaudited, financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Non-regulated revenues for the third quarter of 2023 increased 2.1% to $17.5 million from the prior year’s third quarter $17.2 million. Regulated revenues were $11.3 million in the third quarter of 2023 versus the prior year’s third quarter of $11.7 million, with overall revenues unchanged at $28.8 million versus a year ago.

Non-regulated EBITDA was $6.7 million compared to $7.5 million last year and was crimped by a $600,000 revenue reduction as a result of abandonment of RDOF programs, which is described further in this release. 

Total EBITDA was $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to $11.1 million in 2022. The decline in EBITDA is the result of the reduction mentioned above and is also driven from higher operating expenses in the third quarter of 2023, including higher labor, material costs, professional and engineering fee expenses.
