Management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure of cash available for growth prior to debt service, capital expenditures, income taxes and other reserves. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measure under Canadian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP. Therefore, EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
