Dividend Payment
The Board of Directors has approved an increase of $0.01 per common share to the regular quarterly dividend. In addition, the Board of Directors has approved a one-time special dividend of $1.00 per common share. Accordingly, a regular quarterly dividend of $0.11 per common share, plus a one-time special dividend of $1.00 per common share, for a combined total dividend payment of $1.11 will be paid on November 30, 2021 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2021.
1Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and, therefore, it does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, the measure is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and the reason why we use this measure can be found in Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, under section 18 titled "Non-IFRS Financial Measures".
