*: EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and, amortization, impairment of intangible assets, and impairment or loss on sale of investments and fixed assets. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA to which the Corporation adds stock-based compensation, as this expense does not result in any use of operating cash flows by the Corporation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are provided as a supplementary earnings measure to assist readers in determining the ability of the Corporation to generate cash from operations and to cover financial charges. They are also widely used for business valuation purposes. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
