“We have started 2022 the way we completed 2021 - focused on execution. We continue to see strong organic growth from our underlying businesses, and we continue to grow through acquisition.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

Some of the information presented in this press release includes non-IFRS financial measures, including, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “working capital”, and metrics that are presented on a pro forma basis. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

“EBITDA” is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings of the Company’s operating subsidiaries before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of head office costs and any one-time costs.

“Working capital” is the Company’s current assets minus its current liabilities.

“Pro forma” is an adjustment to incorporate the results of any acquisitions made through the end of Q1 2022, assuming each acquisition occurred on the first day of the period being presented.
