All amounts contained in the financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

"Zoglo's has delivered an incredible first quarter since our public listing, and we are very excited about the future of the brand. We have over $2M in sales in the first two months (September and October 2021) of the launch of our new Incredible™ product line -  for a 10x increase of sales versus the same period of sales of the Zoglo's brand¹ in 2020", said Anthony Morello, CEO of Zoglo's.

Retailers have been very happy with the performance of the brand thus far", added Mr. Morello.

Q3 Financial Results Highlights:

For the relevant definitions of each non-IFRS financial measure, see the "Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section of this press release. Management believes non-IFRS measures, including EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA, provide supplementary information to IFRS measures in assessing the performance of the business. Non-IFRS measures included in this press release are not standardized measures under IFRS, the financial reporting framework used to prepare the Company's financial statements and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws.

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-International Financial Reporting Standards measures including: EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA. These measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures provide additional information to complement those IFRS measures in the Company's financial statements, providing investors further insight into the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. The Company's definitions of non-IFRS measures used in this press release may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS financial measures, including those set out in this press release, to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions, highlighting trends in the Company's core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Specifically, the Company believes that these non-IFRS measures, when viewed with the Company's results under IFRS and the accompanying reconciliations, provide useful information about the Company's business without regard to potential distortions. 

"EBITDA" means net income (loss) before amortization and depreciation expenses, finance and interest costs, and provision for income taxes.

"Normalized EBITDA" adjusts EBITDA for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, non recurring stock listing costs, foreign exchange gains or losses, business acquisition costs, and restructuring charges. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors in understanding Think's operating results, because such measures are consistent with the indicators management uses internally to measure the Company's performance.
