This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered "non-IFRS financial measures". The management of the Company believes that these non-IFRS financial measures used by the Company, when considered in conjunction with, but not in lieu of, other measures that are computed in accordance with IFRS, enhance an understanding of the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity, and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, income data or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS. In particular, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS financial measures, including the limitations inherent in determination of each of the relevant adjustments. The non-IFRS financial measures used by the Company may differ from, and not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
