Q1 2026 Financial Summary

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") measure used by management that is not defined by IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful and useful financial information as these measures demonstrate the operating performance of the business excluding non-cash charges.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is calculated as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, amortization, and depreciation, share based compensation, acquisition related expenses, listing expense, gain or loss on sale of assets, revaluation and impairment of assets.

Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income as determined under IFRS; nor as an indicator of financial performance as determined by IFRS; nor a calculation of cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS; nor as a measure of liquidity and cash flow under IFRS. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from methods used by other companies and, accordingly, the Company's Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by any other company.
