CAUTION REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release refers to “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA” which are non-IFRS financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company’s presentation of these financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. These financial measures are intended to provide additional information to investors concerning the Company’s estimated results. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, and is a measure of a company’s operating performance. Essentially, it’s a way to evaluate a company’s performance without having to factor in financing decisions, accounting decisions or tax environments. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA for non-cash expenses such as share-based compensation, exchange gain/loss, bad debt and other items that are not in the normal course of business.

Management uses these non-IFRS measures as a key metrics in the evaluation of the Company’s performance and the consolidated financial results. The Company believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in their assessment of the operating performance and the valuation of the Company. However, non-IFRS financial measures are not prepared in accordance with IFRS, and the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to an IFRS measure, please see the Company’s MD&A available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.
