Non-IFRS Measures
This news release contains the financial term “adjusted net loss”, which is not considered in the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS“). The Company’s determination of this non-IFRS measure may differ from other reporting issuers, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies where similar terminology is used.
A reconciliation of “net loss” to “adjusted net loss” can be found in the Company’s MD&A for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 (the “MD&A”) in the “Non-IFRS Measures” section and such information is incorporated by reference herein. The MD&A is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.carbonstreaming.com.
This non-IFRS measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or cash flows as prepared in accordance with IFRS. This financial measure is included because management believes that this non-IFRS measure, together with measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provides useful information to investors and shareholders in assessing the Company’s liquidity and overall performance as it removes the impact of non-cash charges. Refer to the “Non-IFRS Measures” section on page 17 of the MD&A for further details.
