DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
This Press Release uses certain non-IFRS financial measures which are defined below. Non-IFRS financial measures are not standardized financial measures under IFRS. As such, these measures may not be comparable to similar financial measures that are disclosed by other companies. These measures include “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA”. These measures are provided as additional information that is disclosed to provide further insight into the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective.

As there is no generally accepted or standard method of calculating EBITDA, these measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other issuers. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented as management believes it is a useful indicator of the Company’s relative financial performance. These measures should not be considered by an investor as an alternative to net income or other IFRS financial measures as determined in accordance with IFRS.
The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to indicate ongoing financial performance from period to period, including comparative prior year periods. The Company has disclosed certain non-IFRS measures on this report, including the disclosure of non-IFRS financial measures for prior year comparative periods.

- The loss on investment in equity securities in connection with the Company’s investment in Life Support.
- The share-based compensation expense recorded by the Company in connection with the stock option plan.
