Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS Financial Measures This press release makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios. These measures and ratios are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures and ratios are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Non-IFRS measures and ratios have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated. The Company uses non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Specifically, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when viewed with the Company’s results under IFRS and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about the Company’s business by removing potential distortions that may arise from transactions that are not operational in nature. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as restructuring, impairment and other charges, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin can provide a useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated. The Company’s agreements with lenders include certain financial performance covenants which include EBITDA (as defined in the Company’s credit agreement with its senior lender and with Beedie Capital) as a component of the covenant calculations and require the Company to maintain certain levels of EBITDA on a consolidated basis. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in the evaluation of issuers. The Company’s management also uses non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios used in this press release include: “EBITDA” means net income (loss) before amortization and depreciation expenses, finance and interest costs, and provision for income taxes. “Adjusted EBITDA” adjusts EBITDA for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, gains or losses arising from redemption of securities issued by the Company, asset impairment charges, gains or losses from disposals of property and equipment, foreign exchange gains or losses, impairment charges on property and equipment, business acquisition costs, and restructuring charges. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue of the Company for the applicable period. A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income (loss) is presented under “Select Information and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” in the MD&A and press release below.
