Non-IFRS Measures
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure calculated by adding the impacts of income taxes, finance charges, depreciation and amortization to net income (loss) for the period. Net income is the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. Management believes that EBITDA is an important performance measure that measures normalized recurring cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital.
