1. Standardized EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the fair value adjustments related to the exchangeable share liability, unit option liability, non-controlling interest call liability / put option and contingent consideration, as well as acquisition and transaction costs), adjusted net (loss) earnings and adjusted net (loss) earnings per share/unit are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Management believes that in addition to revenue, net (loss) earnings and cash flows, the supplemental measures of adjusted net (loss) earnings, Standardized EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful as they provide investors with an indication of earnings from operations and cash available for distribution, both before and after debt management, productive capacity maintenance and non-recurring and other adjustments. Investors should be cautioned, however, that Standardized EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) earnings and adjusted net (loss) earnings per share/unit should not be construed as an alternative to net (loss) earnings determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Boyd's performance. Boyd's method of calculating these measures may differ from other public issuers and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

Outlook
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact Boyd's business. Thus far in the third quarter of 2020, same-store sales activity has continued below normal levels, approximately 14-16% below the same period of the prior year.

During the second quarter, demand gradually improved from the previously disclosed initial COVID-19 pandemic related decreases and has recently begun to stabilize in certain markets. Notwithstanding the actions taken by Boyd, certain operating expenses and personnel costs, along with continued reduced demand for services will continue to impact the levels of Adjusted EBITDA that can be achieved during 2020.
"Our team has demonstrated that Boyd is well prepared to navigate through this challenging environment, scaling our business according to fluctuating levels of demand," said O'Day. "Our capital raise, together with our revised credit agreement provides Boyd with available dry powder of over
