Forward-looking information is based on certain key expectations, opinions, assumptions and estimates made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the Company believes are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances.

Although IPLP believes that the expectations, opinions, assumptions and estimates on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, such forward-looking information should not be unduly relied upon since there can be no assurance that such expectations, opinions, assumptions and estimates will prove to be correct.

Many factors could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements or future events or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the following factors, which are discussed in greater detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the MD&A filed by the Company on May 13 2020: the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on our business and operations; our ability to successfully implement our business strategy; our highly competitive marketplace; a disruption in the overall economy and the financial market which may affect consumer demand; risks relating to Canada - U.S. trade; price volatility or a shortage of some of the raw materials we purchase; our results of operations may be impacted by different financial risks; our dependence on our manufacturing facilities and equipment, which require a high degree of capital expenditures to maintain or replace; changes in laws, regulations and related interpretations as well as changes in consumer trends; the loss of any key customers or a decrease in customer demand; our exposure to food industry risks; risks relating to our brand and reputation; brand and reputational risks associated with actions taken by our subcontractors; competition for acquisition candidates; our ability to execute our growth strategy being dependent on our ability to identify and acquire desirable candidates; our ability to successfully integrate recent acquisitions or future acquisitions; risks associated with our acquisition diligence procedures; failure to adapt to technological changes or the inability to continue to enhance existing products and develop and market new products that respond to customer needs and preferences; our ability to recruit and retain senior management and qualified personnel; failure to maintain good employee relations; increases in transportation costs; increases in energy costs; industry consolidation risk; potential exposure to product liability claims arising from the manufacture of faulty or contaminated products; failure to protect our intellectual property rights, including our unpatented proprietary know-how and trade secrets, or in avoiding claims that we infringed on the intellectual property rights of others; failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations; risks relating to environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; risks of downward pressure on pricing of our products; the inability to obtain appropriate funding; interest rate fluctuations;

Non-IFRS Measures

This presentation uses certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios. Management uses these non-IFRS financial measures for purposes of comparison to prior periods, to prepare annual operating budgets, and for the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of ongoing operations and in analyzing our financial condition, business performance and trends. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS..

We use non-IFRS financial measures to provide supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures The financial measures applied include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Net Debt, Financial Leverage, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT is provided to assist investors in determining the financial performance of the Company and its divisions' operating activities on a consistent basis by excluding items such as business reorganization and integration costs, restructuring costs and acquisition related costs, finance costs and tax charges as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain non-cash elements such as depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin provides a percentage of revenue analysis of the Adjusted EBITDA measure. These measures are also used by Management to measure the underlying trading performance of the Company's operating segments. We believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business.

Adjusted Net Income also assists key stakeholders in determining the financial performance of the Company on a consistent basis by excluding from net income certain one-off costs as noted above, amortization costs related to intangible assets recognized on acquisition of subsidiaries and adjusted to reflect the tax effect on these elements. Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share give a consistent measure of the earnings of the Company by dividing the Adjusted Net Income by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares. Net Debt is a measure indicating the financial indebtedness of the Company assuming that all cash on hand is used to repay a portion of the outstanding debt. Financial Leverage is defined as the ratio of Net Debt to the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA ("LTM Adjusted EBITDA") and measures the number of years it would take for the Adjusted EBITDA of the business to pay off the Net Debt in full. LTM Adjusted EBITDA is the Adjusted EBITDA of the business for the previous twelve-month period together with any Adjusted EBITDA of an acquired business also for the same twelve-month period adjusted to include any pre-acquisition period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a measure indicating the relative amount of cash generated by the Company during the period and available to fund dividends, debt repayments and acquisitions We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor's understanding of our financial performance and financial condition.

The definitions of the measures noted above are included in the "Reconciliation of non-IFRS Measures" section of this MD&A.
