Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Financial Measures Not in Accordance with IFRS

The terms "EBITDA," "net debt" and "net debt to EBITDA" are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. They are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Refer to the section "Financial Measures Not in Accordance with IFRS" in the MD&A of Lassonde Industries Inc. for the First Quarter ended April 2, 2022.

Accordance with IFRS

  • Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is a financial measure used by the Corporation and investors to assess its capacity to generate future cash flows from operating activities and pay financial expenses. EBITDA consists of operating profit, the "depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets" shown in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and "(Gains) losses on capital assets," if applicable.

  • Net Debt to EBITDA

Net Debt to EBITDA is a financial measure used by the Corporation to assess its ability to pay off its existing debt and to define its available borrowing capacity. To calculate the Net Debt to EBITDA ratio, the net debt is divided by the sum of EBITDA for the last four quarters. Net debt represents long-term debt, including the current portion, less "Cash and cash equivalents" item, as presented in the Corporation's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
