"Entering the fourth quarter, there continues to be strong demand for our services; however, technician capacity as well as the impact of inflation on costs and ongoing wage pressure continue to impact results that can be achieved. Boyd continues to negotiate and receive price increases, which are necessary in order to support the attraction of talent to the industry and the retention of the current talent pool. We continue to make progress, but further pricing increases are needed to address ongoing wage pressure. During recent quarters, Boyd has benefited from performance based credit relief, put in place to address the constraints caused by current market conditions, which continue to impact the business" said

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios
Same-store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Boyd's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the performance of the business and to reward employees. These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should not be considered an alternative to net earnings or sales in measuring the performance of BGSI.
The following is a reconciliation of BGSI's non-GAAP financial measures and ratios:
ADJUSTED EBITDA
Standardized EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly reported and widely used by investors and lending institutions as an indicator of a company's operating performance and ability to incur and service debt, and as a valuation metric. They are also key measures that management uses to evaluate performance of the business and to reward its employees. While EBITDA is used to assist in evaluating the operating performance and debt servicing ability of BGSI, investors are cautioned that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as reported by BGSI may not be comparable in all instances to EBITDA as reported by other companies.

ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS
BGSI believes that certain users of financial statements are interested in understanding net earnings excluding certain fair value adjustments and other items of an unusual or infrequent nature that do not reflect normal or ongoing operations of the Company. This can assist these users in comparing current results to historical results that did not include such items.
