Non-IFRS Measures This news release contains refe rences to cer tain measures that do no t have a standardized meaning under Interna tional Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as prescribed by the Interna tional Accounting Standards Board and are t herefore unlikely to be comparable to similar me asures presented by other companies. Ra ther, these measures are provided as additional info rma tion to complement IFRS me asures by providing a fur ther underst anding of operations from management’s perspective . Accordingly, non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of financial information repor ted under IFRS. This ne ws relea se makes reference to Gross Profit, Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Ne t Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flo w, Net deb t, and Adjuste d Net Debt, each of which is a non-IFRS financial measure. The Co mpany believes these no n- IFRS financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as measures of financial performance and it is therefore helpful to provide supplemental measures of operating performance and thus highlight trends that may no t otherwise be apparent when relying so lely on IFRS financial measures. The Company’s definitions of non-IFRS financial measures are as follo ws:
- Gross Profit is revenue le
ss cost o f sales.
- Gross Profit
Margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue .
- Adjust ed Net Income is
Income (Loss) before income tax reco ve ry then includes add-back adjustments for items such as transaction costs, reorganiza tion and exce ptio nal co sts, share-based compensa tion, defe rred compensation, o ther intangibles amortization, gain o n change in fair value o f financial liabilities, and (gain) lo ss on sale of subsidiary.
- Adjust ed EBITDA is also provided to be
tte r analyze trends in performance and present a truer eco nomic representatio n on a comparative basis. Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted Net Income including additional add- back adjust ments for Interest Expense, ne t of Interest Inco me , Depreciation and any non-cash amor tization (to the extent not added back to Adjusted Net Income).
- Free Cash Flow is Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for additions
to Proper ty and Equipment, Interest and cash taxes.
- Adjust ed Free Cash Flo
w is Free Cash Flo w adjusted for additions to film and tele vision rights, net of amortizatio n.
- Adjust ed Net Income after tax is adjusted ne
t income less income tax recovery.
- Adjust ed Net Deb
t is Net Deb t less intra-group interim production financing and adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange
- Adjust ed Earnings Per Share is Adjusted Ne
t Income divided by weighted average number of co mmon shares in the capital o f the Company Please see the Company’s manageme nt’s discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2019 for a detailed description of these measures and a reconciliation of these measures to the nearest IFRS measure.
