(1) The Company defines EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment of non-financial assets, restructuring and other expense and interest and other income. EBITDA margins are calculated by dividing EBITDA by revenue. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS. Management believes that, in addition to net earnings, EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure, as it provides investors with an indication of the Company's performance. EBITDA is used by the Company to analyze performance and compare profitability between periods. Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company's method of calculating EBITDA may differ from other companies and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.

(2) Normalized Adjusted funds from continuing operations ("AFFO") is not a recognized measure under IFRS. AFFO is defined as cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations adjusted for the net change in non-cash working capital items, and the average capital spending required to maintain property and equipment. The Company uses this as a measure of financial performance, as an indicator of its cash flow strength, its ability to meet future operational and capital expenditure requirements and ability to pay dividends on the Company's common shares. Investors should be cautioned, however that adjusted funds from continuing operations should not be construed as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company's method of calculating adjusted funds from continuing operations may differ from other companies and accordingly, adjusted funds from continuing operations may not be comparable to measures used by other Companies.
