Summary of Accounting Changes

In its efforts to explore a possible listing or other corporate activities in the US, the Company installed new auditors, MNP, to streamline the process of doing an audit under both Canadian (CPAB) and U.S. standards (PCAOB). Under review with the Company's new auditors, the Company has changed how it recognizes revenue. The changes were the following:

  1. Resell software is now recognized over the life of the contract as opposed to at a single point in time. This change reflects the nature of most modern software offers that have some sort of ongoing services component attached to the software.

  2. Hardware Vendor Maintenance and Support is now treated as an Agent transaction as opposed to a Principal transaction. Agent transactions recognize only the net amount of revenue (revenue less costs) as revenue. Principal transactions recognize gross revenue as revenue and the costs as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).

The prior quarter ending Q1 2024, was restated for these changes. Further information may be found in the notes of the financial statements.

Note:

(1) Non-GAAP measure. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to net income/loss determined in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before stock-based compensation, financing, and acquisition related expenses. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful financial metric for investors as it adjusts income to reflect amounts which the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives.

Non-IFRS measures

This news release presents information about EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-IFRS financial measures, to provide supplementary information about operating performance. Plurilock defines EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA removes non-cash share-based compensation, financing, and acquisition-related expenses from EBITDA. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful financial metric for investors as it adjusts income to reflect amounts which the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended as a substitute for IFRS measures. A limitation of utilizing these non-IFRS measures is that the IFRS accounting effects of the adjustments do in fact reflect the underlying financial results of Plurilock's business, and these effects should not be ignored in evaluating and analyzing Plurilock's financial results. Therefore, management believes that Plurilock's IFRS measures of net loss and the same respective non-IFRS measure should be considered together. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Readers should refer to the Company's most recently filed MD&A for a more detailed discussion of these measures and their calculations.
