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 use these measures as they provide additional information that is relevant to the business:

  • Gross profit is a useful supplemental measure of operations
  • Working capital is a useful indicator of the Corporation's liquidity and its ability to meet its current obligations
  • EBITDA, which is earnings before finance costs including unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, tax, and depreciation and amortization
  • Whilst EBITDA is a useful measure, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a more appropriate measure for comparing results from one period to another. 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, excluding the impact of how these activities and assets are financed (including mark-to-market movements of the warrant value), depreciated and amortized and how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions It also excludes various non-cash accounting charges/credits such as 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, and share-based payment expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent net earnings as calculated in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA is provided in page 16.

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