Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Adjusted EBITDA |
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to results reported in accordance with IFRS, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental indicator of its financial and operating performance. The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure reflects the Company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in its business. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization less (i) net rent expense on premise leases considered to be finance leases under IFRS and before (ii) transaction, restructuring, and integration costs, time-based earn-out expense, change in fair value of investments, share of income (loss) of associates, foreign exchange gain/loss, and stock-based compensation expense, and (iii) gains/losses that are not reflective of ongoing operating performance. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be a financial metric that measures cash flow that can be used to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments, and fund future growth initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), cash flow from operating activities, or other measures of financial performance defined under IFRS. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure can be found in the Company's Fiscal 2023 Annual MD&A. |
