Non-IFRS Financial Measurement

• In this PowerPoint presentation, the Corporation’s management uses measurements that are not in accordance with IFRS. The measurements “Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA)” and “Net debt” are not defined by IFRS and cannot be formally presented in consolidated financial statements. These non-IFRS measures are presented as additional information and should be used in conjunction with the IFRS financial measurements presented in this report.

• The definition of adjusted EBITDA does not take into account the Corporation’s net loss from bank fraud and acquisition and integration costs. These items are non-recurring in nature and management believes that it allows a better comparison of the Corporation’s historical data as well as comparison with the information presented by competitors. The adjusted EBITDA also excludes other expenses otherwise considered in net earnings (loss) according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), namely the unrealized exchange (gain) loss and the stock-based compensation. These items are non-cash items and do not have an impact on the operating and financial performance of the Corporation. The reader can establish the link between adjusted EBITDA and net loss based on the reconciliation presented below. The definition of adjusted EBITDA used by the Corporation may differ from those used by other companies.

• Even though adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure, it is used by management to make operational and strategic decisions. Providing this information to the stakeholders, in addition to the GAAP measures, allows them to see the Corporation’s results through the eyes of management, and to better understand the financial performance, notwithstanding the impact of GAAP measures.
