| (1) |
The Company defines EBITDA as “earnings before interest and finance charges, taxes, depletion and depreciation, non-cash foreign exchange gain or loss and stock compensation expense”. It is a non-GAAP measure and is more specifically described in the section entitled “Non-GAAP measures” on the final page of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis. |
| (2) |
The Company has restated these amounts upon adjusting for a mathematical error in the calculation of the gain on sale of CMASA shares in Q2 which resulted in an increase in the net profit, total assets and shareholder’s equity of $8.4 million. |
