"We've entered a new era at MTL as we move from building the foundation to achieving record-breaking results," said Michael Perron, CEO of MTL. "This achievement reflects the dedication of our people, the strength of our disciplined operating model, and our team's ability to execute at a high level. We have built a strong and scalable platform, and at the core of it all is an unwavering commitment to delivering the highest quality products and services to our patients and customers. I am deeply grateful to the entire MTL team for making that possible."

Richard Clement, Chair of the board of directors, commented "I am extremely proud of our team for their focus, determination, and the incredible efforts to help build the company to what it is today. We look forward to continuing to deliver strong results for our customers, patients, and shareholders."

Non-IFRS financial measures

In addition to results reported in accordance with IFRS, the Company uses certain non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its financial and operating performance. These non-IFRS financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes these supplementary financial measures reflect 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 EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations, as reported, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, financing costs, gains and losses on sale of marketable securities, interest and accretion, share-based payments, change in fair value of biological assets realized through inventory sold, and unrealized gains and losses on changes in fair value of biological assets. The Company uses EBITDA as a measure of the cash generating capacity of its business. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to assist with comparatives to other companies by eliminating variability resulting from differences in capital structures, management decisions related to resource allocation, and the impact of fair value adjustments on biological assets and inventory, which may be volatile on a period-to-period basis. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance defined under IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide a proxy for the Company's operating cash flow and are widely used by industry analysts and investors to compare the Company to its competitors and derive expectations of the future financial performance of the Company.

The Company's method of calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other companies and, accordingly, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

The table below provide a reconciliation of Net Income as reported under IFRS in the annual financial statements to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
