Non-IFRS Measures

EBITDA is defined as profit for the year adding back depreciation of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, amortization of intangible assets, financing cost (net), and total income taxes.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures required by or presented in accordance with IFRS, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our results as reported under IFRS. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors because they are used internally to analyze operating profitability and provide comparability with industry peers.
