(1)     Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure, which is defined as earnings before income tax expense, finance               costs, depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation. We exclude these items because they affect the               comparability of our financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in our business performance.               Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to assess our operating performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA               is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts and the measure does not have any standardized               meaning under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA should therefore not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures               of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently.
(2)     For further information regarding non-IFRS financial measures including a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA,               please see the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 under the               heading "Non-IFRS Financial Measures".
