EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA*

Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are effective measures for analyzing the performance of the Company. The term “EBITDA” refers to earnings before deducting interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before deducting interest and accretion, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, listing expense, other reverse take-over fees, acquisition related costs, and share based compensation. “EBITDA”, “EBITDA per share”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, and “Adjusted EBITDA per share” are non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful additional information to management, the Board and investors as it provides an indication of the operational results generated by its business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration asset depreciation and amortization and it excludes items that could affect the comparability of our operational results and could potentially alter the trends analysis in business performance. Excluding these items does not necessarily imply they are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by some investors and analysts for the purpose of valuing a company. Investors are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating earnings or net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or as a measure of the Company’s liquidity and cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account the impact of working capital changes, capital expenditures, debt principal reductions and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
