EBITDA is defined as
earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Number for comparative periods were revised to
exclude SRED credit tax, variation on exchange, and bank charges in
EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as
EBITDA to which the Company adds stock-based compensation including
the grant of stock options, restricted shares units, and restricted
share awards as these expenses do not result in any use of
operating cash flows by the Company, severance payments, impairment
loss on goodwill, write-off of intangible assets, change in fair
value of investment in shares, expenses related to acquisition or
disposal of business, and loss on extinction of debt and equity
components of convertible debentures, which are extraordinary and
non-recurrent expenses, and Board remuneration, which is paid in
shares units. EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA are provided as a
supplementary earning measure to assist readers in determining the
ability of ENGAGEMENT LABS INC. to generate cash from operations
and to cover financial charges. They are also widely used for
business valuation purposes. These measures do not have a
standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable
to similar measures presented by other companies.
