XPEL Reports First Quarter Revenue Growth of 39%

SAN ANTONIO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–XPEL Technologies Corp. (TSXV:DAP.U), a leading supplier of automotive
paint protection and window films, announced results for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Mr. Ryan Pape, President and Chief Executive Officer of XPEL, commented,
“Our first quarter results demonstrate continued momentum and customer
confidence, characterized by strong revenue growth of 39%. We are seeing
heightened marketplace awareness of the XPEL brand, driven by our high
quality products, our training and support offerings and our industry
leading customer service. Our strategy to increase our direct presence
in the international markets that we serve is gaining traction and
allows us to be close to our end customer, which enables us to deliver a
more consistent product, real-time service and on-demand training.

“We are focused on expanding the reach of our product offerings within
the automotive aftermarket and in late April we announced that our paint
protection and window film products will be available to the more than
50 Tint World franchisees throughout the U.S. XPEL will provide expert
training and certification of installers at each franchise stocking our
product to ensure that the end customer receives a finished product
consistent with our quality standards. We’re pleased to have entered
into this strategic partnership which enables us to bring our film
products to an expanded audience of potential customers and increases
our brand exposure in the United States.

“As previously announced, during the fourth quarter of 2015, we rolled
out a new ordering and account management portal for our dealers,
expanding our logistics footprint across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
The portal provides a state-of-the-art ordering experience, including a
streamlined mobile platform which helps us attract and retain customers
through its convenience and ease of use. As expected, the marketplace
has responded enthusiastically and traffic through the portal is
increasing every day.”

Gross Margin: Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to

corresponding prior year period. On a constant currency basis, net

on driving efficiencies in our cost structure to achieve enhanced
profitability as we continue to grow our revenue.”

Constant Currency

The Company reports results in U.S. Dollars, but does business on a
global basis. Exchange rate fluctuations affect the U.S. Dollar value
for foreign currency revenue and expenses and may have a significant
effect on reported results. Comparisons are made to the prior year in
constant currency terms, which Management believes is helpful in
understanding the Company’s performance. Constant currency is calculated
by converting current period results using the prior year currency
exchange rates.

Non-IFRS Measures

In addition to disclosing results in accordance with IFRS as issued by
IASB, the Company also provides supplementary non-IFRS measures as a
method of evaluating the Company’s performance.

Management uses EBITDA as a measure of company-wide performance. EBITDA
is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization. Management believes EBITDA is a useful measure to allow
period-to-period comparison of the Company’s operating performance.
EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and is not
necessarily comparable to measures presented by other Companies. EBITDA
excludes components that are significant in understanding and assessing
our results of operations and cash flows. EBITDA does not represent
funds available for Management’s discretionary use and is not intended
to represent cash flow from operations. EBITDA should not be considered
a substitute for Net Income prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued
by the IASB.
