Non-IFRS Measures, Reconciliation and Discussion

Certain financial measures in this presentation are non-IFRS measures, including, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Gross Profit and the associated margin are non-IFRS measures which management uses to evaluate the performance of the Company's business as it reflects its ongoing profitability.
