**Net revenue and **EBITDA are not recognized measurements under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and this data may not be comparable to data presented by other companies. Management defines net revenue as revenue (i.e., gross revenue less discounts and customer incentives but inclusive of freight) less excise taxes. Management defines EBITDA as earnings adjusted to exclude interest, tax, depreciation, stock compensation, fair value changes and other non-cash items, and non-recurring items. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company uses these non-IFRS measures to provide shareholders and others with supplemental measures of its operating performance. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in evaluating companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. As other companies may calculate Net Revenue and EBITDA differently than the Company, these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We caution readers that EBITDA should not be substituted for determining net loss as an indicator of operating results or as a substitute for cash flows from operating and investing activities. See the Company management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 (the “Q3 2024 MD&A”), for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss). The Company’s financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and the Q3 2024 MD&A are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
