NON-GAAP MEASURES AND ADDITIONAL GAAP MEASURES

Throughout this document, reference is made to "gross profit", "working capital", and "Adjusted EBITDA", which are all non-IFRS measures. Management believes that gross profit is a useful supplemental measure of operations and that working capital is a useful indicator of the Corporation's liquidity and its ability to meet its current obligations. While EBITDA, which is earnings before finance costs including unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, tax, and depreciation and amortization, is a useful measure, Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a more appropriate measure for comparing results from one period to another as Adjusted EBITDA normalizes earnings to exclude certain non-operating,non-cash, and extraordinary amounts. All these terms are defined below. Readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Readers are also cautioned not to view these non-IFRS financial measures as an alternative to financial measures calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

NON-GAAP MEASURES DEFINITIONS

"Adjusted EBITDA" is a measure of the Corporation's operating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA provides an indication of the results generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to how these activities are assets are financed (including mark-to-market movements of the warrant value), depreciated and amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions, impairment of property, plant, and equipment, impairment of intangible assets, changes in fair value of inventory, unrealized changes in fair value of biological assets, prior to the effect of foreign exchange, other income and expenses, and non-cashshare-based payment expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent net earnings as calculated in accordance with IFRS.

"Working capital" is used by management and the investment community to analyze the operating liquidity available to the Corporation. Working capital is calculated based on current assets less current liabilities.

Working capital is derived from the statements of financial positions and is calculated as follows:

In January 2022, the Government of Colombia stipulates that every insurance provider in Colombia, is now mandated to cover the costs of high and low THC medical cannabis prescriptions.

In January 2022, the Corporation opens its fourth ZereniaTM branded medical cannabis clinics in Bogota with a capacity of up to 40,000 consults per year, adding 20% to the existing capacity in Colombia.

In March 2022, the Corporation announced a partnership in Mexico with Fundación Teletón, to establish ZereniaTM medical cannabis clinics in Teletón's hospitals and distribute the Corporation's products at its pharmacies.
