Selected Information
Below is selected information derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-IFRS Financial Measure
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is not a recognized measure under IFRS. Rainmaker believes that adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by investors in assessing the performance of Rainmaker and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow. As adjusted EBITDA is a term not defined under IFRS it may not be comparable to a similar term used in documents of other public entities.
Rainmaker defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, equity investment loss (earnings), gain on sale of property, plant and equipment and compensation costs related to stock options.
The following is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to earnings for the period as calculated in accordance with IFRS:
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010
Revenue
Revenue decreased $0.5 million to $4.7 million in 2011 from $5.2 million in 2010. The decrease in revenue was due to production timing differences and the delivery of one less short film completed in 2011.
Operating and general and administration expenses
Operating expenses decreased $0.4 million to $3.9 million in 2011 from $4.3 million in 2010. The decrease in operating costs is the result of a one time reduction related to a successful application of production tax credits for a single production from a prior period that was previously thought to be unavailable.
