This document also contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), including adjusted EBITDA. These non-IFRS measures are presented because the Company believes that they and similar measures are widely used in the markets in which it operates as a means of evaluating the Company's operating performance and financing structure. They may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and are not measurements under IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles. See [the appendix] for a reconciliation of certain of these non-lFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.
