Financial Measures
There are measures included in this news release that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures and metrics presented by other publicly traded companies.  The Company includes these measures because it believes certain investors use these measures and metrics as a means of assessing financial performance.  EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as the net income or loss from operations, as reported before interest, tax, and adjusted by removing non-cash items, including stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, amortization, and further adjusted to remove integration and restructuring related costs, as well as upfront costs required to open a retail store.  Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance on a cash adjusted basis before the impact of non-cash items, acquisition related costs, and non-recurring expenditures.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
