(“Revolution Lighting”), a leader in advanced LED lighting technology, today provided a business update following President and Chief Financial Officer Charlie Schafer's presentation at Craig-Hallum's 4th Annual Alpha Select Conference on September 26, 2013 in New York City. Key highlights of Schafer's presentation and Revolution Lighting's financial performance included: A robust pipeline of $150M in actionable opportunities over the next three to twelve months Expected organic growth of greater than 50% for 2014-2016 Target gross margins of 35% or greater for 2014-2016 Expected pro forma revenue of approximately $17M for the second half of 2013 Expected full year pro forma 2013 revenue of approximately $35M Adjusted EBITDA margins of 15% or greater for 2014-2016 Schafer indicated that pro forma revenue for the second half of 2013 will be approximately $17 million. As a result of certain international orders coming in later than expected, third quarter revenue is expected to be between $5-6 million and fourth quarter revenue is expected to be in excess of $10 million. Pro forma revenue for all of 2013 is expected to total approximately $35 million after giving effect to the Relume and Seesmart acquisitions, representing 100% organic growth over 2012 pro forma revenues. Schafer added, “2013 has been a successful year for Revolution Lighting. We expanded our distribution network and completed the acquisition of Relume Technologies, which broadened our product portfolio, and strengthened our engineering and management capabilities. We are now well-positioned for the anticipated growth to come in 2014 and beyond.” Schafer's presentation and live audio webcast are accessible via the Revolution Lighting website at the following link: http://ir.rvlti.com/ir-calendar About Revolution Lighting Technologies Inc.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income or loss interest and financing related transactions, acquisition related transactions, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, stock based compensation charges, and severance and transition costs. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to help investors analyze the operating trends in the business and to assess the relative underlying performance of businesses with different capital and tax structures. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial results with other companies that use Adjusted EBITDA in their communications with investors. By excluding non cash charges such as amortization and depreciation, stock based compensation, asset impairments as well as non operating charges for income taxes, interest and financing charges, acquisition related and severance and transition costs charges investors can evaluate our operations and compare our results with the results of other companies on a more consistent basis. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions, establish internal budget and goals and evaluate the performance of business units and management. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of our operational strength and performance and a useful measure of historical and prospective trends. However there are significant limitations of the use of Adjusted EBITDA since it excludes interest income and expenses, financing related and acquisition related transactions and severance and transition costs, income taxes, all of which impact profitability, as well as depreciation and amortization related to the use of long lived assets that benefits future periods. We believe that limitations are compensated by providing Adjusted EBITDA only with GAAP performance measures and clearly identifying the differences between the two measures. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or loss or operating income or loss presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measure provided by other entities.
