EBITDA - Non-IFRS Measure
EBITDA is intended to provide additional
information to investors and analysts. We use EBITDA to evaluate
the performance of our businesses as they reflect their ongoing
profitability. We believe certain investors and analysts use
adjusted EBITDA to measure a company’s ability to service debt and
to meet other payment obligations or as a common measurement to
value companies in the technology industry. We believe that certain
investors and analysts also use EBITDA to evaluate the performance
of our business. The Company calculated EBITDA as set out on page 2
and 3 of this press release. EBITDA does not have any standardized
meaning prescribed by IFRS and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared
in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA
differently. Therefore, the term EBITDA is unlikely to be
comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
