A DAY IN THE LIFE OF BADGER

  • Al Sorbera - 8 year hydrovac operator
  • Called out to assist fire and rescue on July 20, 2018
  • Trench collapsed and a young man was buried up to

his chest

  • Al utilized a Badger to carefully remove the dirt from

around the man

  • With the assistance of fire and rescue, the young

man was extracted safely from the trench

  • Without the use of hydro excavation, trench rescues

could take too long

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND KEY FINANCIAL METRICS

(1)

This presentation contains references to certain financial measures, including some that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and that may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other corporations or entities. These financial measures are identified and defined below: “Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, gains and losses on sale

  • f property, plant and equipment, and gains and losses on foreign
  • exchange. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of the Company’s operating

profitability and is therefore useful to management and investors as it provides improved continuity with respect to the comparison of our

  • perating results over time. Adjusted EBITDA provides an indication of

the results generated by the Company’s principal business activities prior to how these activities are financed, the results are taxed in various jurisdictions, and assets are amortized. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA excludes gains and losses on sale of property, plant and equipment as these gains and losses are considered incidental and secondary to the principal business activities, it excludes gains and losses on foreign exchange as such gains and losses can vary significantly based on factors beyond our control and it excludes share- based compensation as these expenses can vary significantly with changes in the price of our common shares. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is Adjusted EBITDA margin as defined earlier, expressed as a percentage of revenues. Key Financial Metrics “Revenue per truck per month” (RPT) is a measure of hydrovac fleet

  • utilization. It is a measure of hydrovac revenue only. The RPT is

calculated by combining Canadian and US dollar hydrovac revenue, without converting foreign currency revenues into a Canadian dollar equivalent, dividing the total mixed currency hydrovac revenue for the period by the number of hydrovacs in service throughout the period, and further dividing by the number of months in the period.
