RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RECONCILIATION OF NET EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS
NON-IFRS MEASURES
GENIVAR uses non-IFRS measures that are considered by companies as indicators of financial performance, measures which are not recognized under IFRS and may differ from similar computations as reported by other similar entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable. GENIVAR believes these measures are useful supplemental information that may assist investors in assessing an investment in the Company's shares.
Non-IFRS measures used by GENIVAR are net revenues, EBITDA, EBITDA per share, EBITDA margin, adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share.
Net revenues
Net revenues are defined as revenues from professional consulting services less direct costs for subconsultants and other direct expenses that are recoverable directly from the clients. Net revenues is not an IFRS measure and does not have a standardized definition within IFRS. Therefore, net revenues may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are advised that net revenues should not be construed as an alternative to revenues for the year (as determined in accordance with IFRS) as an indicator of GENIVAR's performance.
EBITDA and EBITDA per share
EBITDA is defined as earnings before financial expenses, income tax expenses, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not an IFRS measure and does not have a standardized definition within IFRS. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net earnings for the year (as determined in accordance with IFRS) as an indicator of GENIVAR's performance, or an alternative to cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities as a measure of GENIVAR's liquidity and cash flows. GENIVAR's method of calculating EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, GENIVAR's EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.
EBITDA per share is calculated using the basic weighted average number of shares.
EBITDA margin
EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net revenues. EBITDA margin is not an IFRS measure.
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share
Adjusted net earnings is not an IFRS measure. This measure provides Management with net earnings without the effect of significant non-recurring items. The adjusted net earnings is defined as the net earnings for the year, excluding the effect in the financial results of the significant items identified.
Adjusted net earnings per share is calculated using the basic weighted average number of shares.
