This press release makes reference to certain non-GAAP measures. These measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Report Standards ("IFRS"), do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not acceptable alternatives to net income, a measurement of liquidity, or comparable measures as determined in accordance with IFRS.

EBITDA refers to net income before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before costs associated with severance, gains and losses on sale of equipment and stock-based compensation. These measures do not have a standardized definition prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar captioned terms presented by other issuers.

Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of performance as they eliminate non-recurring items and the impact of finance and tax structure variables that exist between entities. For further information regarding non-GAAP measures used by the Company, please refer to the management's discussion and analysis of the Company, copies of which are available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
