Non-GAAP Measures

This news release contains references to certain financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. These non-GAAP financial performance measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, the Company’s results of operations reported under IFRS. These financial measures are identified and defined below:

“EBITDA” is an indicator of the financial results generated by our business activities excluding the impact of any financing activities, amortization and depreciation of property, equipment and intangible assets, and taxes.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is a further refinement of EBITDA to remove the effect of share-based compensation expense and one-time costs associated with the RTO transaction. As such, Adjusted EBITDA provides more meaningful continuity with respect to the comparison of our operating results over time.

Please refer to the Company’s June 30, 2018 MD&A dated August 29, 2018 for additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures.
