Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures This press release contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as loss before income taxes, less interest expense, interest income, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, reverse takeover listing expense, and other one-time or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's operating performance by excluding non-cash items and items that are not reflective of the ongoing operations of the business. A reconciliation of loss before income taxes to Adjusted EBITDA is presented above.
