Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 22, 2024) - Zedcor Inc. (TSXV: ZDC) (the "Company") today announced its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

艾伯塔省卡爾加里--(Newsfile Corp.,2024年5月22日)——Zedcor Inc.(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:ZDC)(“公司”)今天公佈了截至2024年3月31日的三個月的財務和經營業績。

Q1 2024 revenues were $6.1 million and the Company generated adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million. The Company's successfully continued its customer diversification and revenue growth efforts during the quarter. Midway through February 2024, Zedcor started generating record daily revenues from its fleet of MobileyeZTM security towers and utilization rates for the Company's fleet of Electric MobileyeZTM security towers was above 90%. In addition, the Company's growth efforts in the United States are progressing well with 5% of Q1 2024 revenues being generated from US operations in three months of sales efforts. Furthermore, the Company's revenue base is now largely diversified across customers and geographies.

2024年第一季度收入爲610萬美元,公司調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤爲190萬美元。該公司在本季度成功地繼續努力實現客戶多元化和收入增長。2024 年 2 月中旬,Zedcor 開始從其 MobileYez 機隊中創造創紀錄的每日收入TM 安全塔和公司電動車隊 MobileYez 的利用率TM 安全塔超過90%。此外,該公司在美國的增長工作進展順利,2024年第一季度收入的5%來自於三個月的銷售工作中的美國業務。此外,該公司的收入基礎現在在客戶和地區之間實現了多元化。

During the quarter, the Company had approximately 40% of its MobileyeZTM security tower fleet in Ontario. In addition, the Company exited Q1 2024 with 72 towers at its Houston equipment and service center which has subsequently increased to 107. These security towers have reached 100% utilization and the Company is starting to build a backlog of demand at its Houston service center. The fleet is fully deployed across a number of different customers, including the largest home builder in the US.

在本季度,該公司擁有其MobileYez約40%的股份TM 安大略省的安全塔艦隊。此外,該公司在2024年第一季度退出休斯敦設備和服務中心共有72座塔樓,該塔樓隨後增至107座。這些安全塔的利用率已達到100%,該公司開始在其休斯敦服務中心積壓需求。該機隊已全面部署在許多不同的客戶中,包括美國最大的房屋建築商。

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company also completed a $15.0 million equity financing. These funds will allow the Company to expedite its growth in the US, build more MobileyeZTM, and expand its offerings to additional regions in the southern US. Specifically, the Company has plans to expand to Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, West Texas and Phoenix, Arizona.

在本季度末之後,該公司還完成了1,500萬美元的股權融資。這些資金將使公司能夠加快在美國的增長,建立更多的MobileYezTM,並將其產品擴展到美國南部的其他地區。具體而言,該公司計劃將業務擴展到達拉斯、奧斯汀、聖安東尼奧、西德克薩斯州和亞利桑那州的菲尼克斯。

US Operations and Manufacturing Update:

美國運營和製造業最新情況:

Zedcor's MobileyeZTM manufacturing operations are continuing to ramp up. We built over 20 Solar Electric MobileyeZTM security towers in April and have the capacity to build 15 - 20 Solar Electric MobileyeZTM security towers. The Company anticipates bringing the total US fleet to 400 or more security towers by the end of 2024.

Zedcor 的 MobileYezTM 製造業務繼續增加。我們建造了 20 多個太陽能電動 MobileYezTM 四月份將建安全塔,有能力建造 15-20 座太陽能電力 MobileYezTM 安全塔。該公司預計,到2024年底,美國艦隊總數將達到400座或更多的安全塔。

Zedcor's Solar Electric MobileyeZTM will be a fully standalone security tower with battery backup. It can also be plugged in to power in winter months if there is not enough sunlight. This is an innovative security tower and first of its kind in the North American market with dual power capabilities, allowing it to function in any environment across the USA and Canada. It is also zero emissions, helping customers reduce their carbon footprint and meet environmental targets.

Zedcor 的太陽能電動 MobileYezTM 將是一座帶有備用電池的完全獨立的安全塔。如果陽光不足,也可以在冬季接通電源。這是一座創新的安全塔,也是北美市場首款具有雙電源功能的同類安全塔,使其可以在美國和加拿大的任何環境中運行。它也是零排放,幫助客戶減少碳足跡並實現環境目標。

Todd Ziniuk said: "We are continuing to see the effects of our strategic initiatives from 2023. As we expanded our equipment and service centers across Canada and into the US, we are achieving growing revenues across the Company and adding new customers every day. We anticipate strong revenue and EBITDA growth to persist in Q2 and throughout the rest of 2024 and The additional capital we received from our equity financing completed in May will allow us to accelerate our expansion in the United States. We remain excited about our growth prospects in Canada and the US, by the demand we are seeing in Texas, and the backlog that we are building in the US. With our manufacturing operations ramping up, we will be able to meet this demand, and also start to look internally for efficiencies."

託德·齊紐克說:“從2023年起,我們將繼續看到我們的戰略舉措的影響。隨着我們在加拿大和美國擴展設備和服務中心,我們實現了公司收入的增長,並且每天都在增加新客戶。我們預計,強勁的收入和息稅折舊攤銷前利潤將在第二季度以及2024年剩餘時間內持續增長,我們從5月份完成的股權融資中獲得的額外資本將使我們能夠加快在美國的擴張。我們對加拿大和美國的增長前景仍然感到興奮,得克薩斯州看到的需求以及我們在美國積累的待辦事項。隨着製造業務的擴大,我們將能夠滿足這一需求,並開始在內部尋求效率。”

Zedcor recorded $6,134 of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This compares to $6,443 of revenue from for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The revenue decrease of 5% year over year was due to reductions in revenue for Zedcor's ancillary services of security personnel, cameras sales and other service revenue. The decrease was driven largely by reduced service revenues as non-pipeline security towers do not need significant service. The Company's core security and surveillance service revenue was up slightly year over year. Quarter over quarter, the Company's total revenue was up $335 or 6% and EBITDA was up $497 or 35%. Revenue increased both year over year and quarter over quarter as a result of a larger fleet of security towers, revenue growth in the US and recovering utilization rates in the latter half of Q1 2024 as the Company was able to redeploy security towers returned from its large pipeline security project which ended in Q4 2023.

在截至2024年3月31日的三個月中,Zedcor的收入爲6,134美元。相比之下,截至2023年3月31日的三個月的收入爲6,443美元。收入同比下降5%,這是由於Zedcor的安全人員輔助服務,攝像機銷售和其他服務收入的收入減少。下降的主要原因是服務收入減少,因爲非管道安全塔不需要大量服務。該公司的核心安全和監控服務收入同比略有增長。該公司的總收入同比增長了335美元,增長了6%,息稅折舊攤銷前利潤增長了497美元,增長了35%。收入同比和同比均有所增長,這要歸因於安全塔機隊的擴大,美國的收入增長以及2024年第一季度下半年利用率的恢復,因爲該公司得以重新部署其於2023年第四季度結束的大型管道安全項目返回的安全塔。

Adjusted EBITDA was to $1,898 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $2,135 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. While EBITDA decreased year over year due, in part, to higher G&A costs as a result of a larger geographical footprint and increases in sales staff, EBITDA increased quarter over quarter by 35% as a result of reduced repairs & maintenance costs and headcount reductions in Canada as we streamlined our operational G&A.

截至2024年3月31日的三個月,調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤爲1,898美元,而截至2023年3月31日的三個月,調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤爲2,135美元。儘管息稅折舊攤銷前利潤同比下降,部分原因是地理覆蓋範圍擴大和銷售人員增加導致併購成本增加,但息稅折舊攤銷前利潤同比增長了35%,這是由於我們精簡運營併購後加拿大的維修和維護成本減少以及裁員。

The Company's security and surveillance services continued to see strong demand and growth in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due largely to increased customer demand of its larger fleet of MobileyeZ security towers and expanded US presence. The increased revenue was offset in the first half of Q1 2024 by: 1) reduced service work and third-party revenue; and 2) reduced revenue from a two large pipeline construction projects that were completed in the second half of 2023. A majority of the security towers returned from the pipeline construction projects have been rented to new or existing customers across Canada and, therefore, reduced the Company's customer and industry concentration risks. Utilization for the Company's fleet of security towers returned to normalized historical levels in February 2024 and remain strong subsequent to the end of the quarter. Utilization exceeded 90% for the Company's fleet of Electric MobileyeZTM throughout Q1 2024. The Company's US based operations also ramped up throughout the quarter. The Company recognized $333 in US revenues and this helped to reduce the negative impact on adjusted EBITDA.

在截至2024年3月31日的三個月中,該公司的安全和監控服務繼續保持強勁的需求和收入的增長,這主要是由於客戶對其更大的MobileYez安全塔機隊的需求增加以及美國業務的擴大。2024年第一季度上半年收入的增加被以下因素所抵消:1) 服務工作和第三方收入減少;2) 2023年下半年完成的兩個大型管道建設項目的收入減少。管道建設項目歸還的大多數安全塔都租給了加拿大各地的新客戶或現有客戶,因此降低了公司的客戶和行業集中風險。2024年2月,公司安全塔群的利用率恢復到正常的歷史水平,並在本季度末之後保持強勁。該公司電動MobileYez機隊的利用率超過90%TM 整個 2024 年第一季度。該公司在美國的業務在整個季度也有所增加。該公司確認了333美元的美國收入,這有助於減少對調整後息稅折舊攤銷前利潤的負面影響。

Zedcor exited the period with 870 MobileyeZTM security towers which was an increase of 55 when compared to December 31, 2023 and an increase of 306 when compared to March 31, 2023. Of the 870 units, 72 are located in Zedcor's Houston, Texas service center.

Zedcor 以 870 MobileYez 退出了這個時期TM 與2023年12月31日相比,安全塔增加了55座,與2023年3月31日相比增加了306座。在870個單位中,有72個位於Zedcor的德克薩斯州休斯敦服務中心。

Financial and operational highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2024 include:

截至2024年3月31日的三個月的財務和運營亮點包括:

  • For the three months ended March 31, 2024 net loss before tax was $470 compared to net income before tax of $752 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net income year over year is directly attributable to: 1) two of the Company's largest customers wrapping up pipeline construction projects during the second half of 2023 and 2) USA net loss, which totaled $507, negatively impacted net income before tax. When compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, net loss decreased from ($860) to ($470) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net loss was due to higher revenues, lower general & administrative costs, offset by higher depreciation of equipment and finance costs.

  • Diversification away from the Company's core pipeline construction customers. As the Company increases its fleet of MobileyeZTM and expands geographically, our risk related to customer concentration has decreased. Zedcor's services are customer and industry agonistic and we continued to see that in 2024 as we were able to diversify our customers across the construction industry and into retail security.

  • Continued traction across Ontario and Texas which are key expansion areas for the Company. The Company expanded to Ottawa in Q2 2022, Toronto in Q3 2022 and Texas in Q4 2023. As at March 31, 2024, more than 50% of the Company's MobileyeZTM security tower fleet is located in these three service and equipment centers which is a significant change compared to all of the security towers being operated in Western Canada. The Company's intentions to diversify its geographical footprint and grow its customer base is yielding results. We are continuity to see strong demand for the Company's across these three operating regions.

  • On track US expansion. In Q3 2023 the Company leased a facility and hired its first employee in the US. In addition, the Company shipped a small number of security towers for research & development purposes to help ensure supply targets are met for its 2024 expansion program. Zedcor exited the Q1 2024 with 72 MobileyeZTM, continued positive business development with both existing Canadian customers with operations in the US and potential US based customers, grew the sales team in the Houston market and generated $333 of revenue for the 3 months ended March 31, 2024.

  • The Company continued to attract new customers across Canada. For the 3 months ended March 31, 2024, the Company has added 30 new customers.

  • The Company continued to manage its supply chain and logistics. Orders were proactively placed for light tower materials, cameras and communication equipment for the Company's 2024 capital program. Zedcor also ramped up manufacturing operations out of its Houston facility in order to resolve bottle necks related to light tower assembly. By addressing this bottleneck, the Company can ramp up production to meet anticipated customer demand for the expansive US market. This will also allow the Company to control its capital costs, while designing innovative solutions in order to proactively meet customer needs.

  • 截至2024年3月31日的三個月,稅前淨虧損爲470美元,而截至2023年3月31日的三個月,稅前淨收益爲752美元。淨收入同比下降的直接原因是:1)公司的兩個最大客戶在2023年下半年完成了管道建設項目;2)美國淨虧損總額爲507美元,對稅前淨收益產生了負面影響。與截至2023年12月31日的三個月相比,截至2024年3月31日的三個月淨虧損從(860美元)下降至(470美元)。淨虧損的減少是由於收入增加,一般和管理成本的降低,但被設備和財務成本的上升所抵消。

  • 遠離公司的核心管道建設客戶,實現多元化。隨着公司增加其Mobileyez機隊TM 並且在地理位置上不斷擴大,我們與客戶集中度相關的風險已經降低。Zedcor的服務與客戶和行業息息相關,我們在2024年繼續看到這一點,因爲我們得以在建築行業和零售安全領域實現客戶多元化。

  • 安大略省和德克薩斯州持續受到關注,這兩個地區是公司的關鍵擴張領域。該公司於2022年第二季度擴展到渥太華,2022年第三季度擴展到多倫多,2023年第四季度擴展到德克薩斯州。截至2024年3月31日,該公司超過50%的MobileYez股份TM 安全塔機隊位於這三個服務和設備中心,與加拿大西部運營的所有安全塔相比,這是一個重大變化。該公司旨在實現地理足跡多元化並擴大客戶群的意圖正在取得成果。我們繼續看到這三個運營區域對公司的強勁需求。

  • 美國的擴張步入正軌。2023 年第三季度,公司在美國租賃了一處設施並僱用了第一名員工。此外,該公司運送了少量安全塔用於研發目的,以幫助確保實現其2024年擴張計劃的供應目標。Zedcor 在 2024 年第一季度以 72 個 MobileYez 退出TM,與在美國開展業務的現有加拿大客戶和潛在的美國客戶的業務繼續保持積極的發展,擴大了休斯敦市場的銷售團隊,並在截至2024年3月31日的3個月中創造了333美元的收入。

  • 該公司繼續在加拿大各地吸引新客戶。在截至2024年3月31日的3個月中,公司增加了30個新客戶。

  • 該公司繼續管理其供應鏈和物流。公司積極訂購了該公司2024年資本計劃的燈塔材料、攝像機和通信設備。Zedcor還加強了休斯敦工廠的製造業務,以解決與燈塔組裝相關的瓶頸問題。通過解決這一瓶頸,該公司可以提高產量,以滿足客戶對廣闊美國市場的預期需求。這也將使公司能夠控制其資本成本,同時設計創新的解決方案,以主動滿足客戶需求。

  1. A $6.1 million term loan that is fully committed for five years ("Term Loan"). The Term Loan bears interest at 5.15% and will have monthly blended principal and interest payments of $116.

  2. A $15.0 million revolving equipment financing facility ("Revolving Equipment Financing"). The Company is able to draw on this facility at any time for up to 100% of new equipment purchases. The draws bear interest at Prime + 2.0% and each draw will be amortized over 5 years with blended principal and interest payments. As at March 31, 2024 the Prime Interest Rate was 7.20% and the interest rate on the Revolving Equipment Financing was 9.20%. As the Company pays down the Revolving Equipment Financing, it can borrow back up to the facility maximum of $15.0 million.

  3. An authorized overdraft facility ("Authorized Overdraft") up to $3.0 million, secured by the Company's accounts receivable, up to 75%, less priority payables which are GST payable, income taxes payable, employee remittances payable and WCB payables. The Authorized Overdraft is due on demand and any outstanding overdraft bears interest at Prime + 1.5%. As at March 31, 2024 the Prime Interest Rate was 7.20% and the interest rate on the Revolving Equipment Financing was 8.70%.

  1. 610萬澳元的定期貸款,承諾期限爲五年(“定期貸款”)。定期貸款的利息爲5.15%,每月的混合本金和利息支付額爲116美元。

  2. 1500萬美元的循環設備融資機制(“循環設備融資”)。該公司可以隨時利用該設施購買高達100%的新設備。提款的利息爲Prime+ 2.0%,每次提款將在5年內分期攤還,混合本金和利息支付。截至2024年3月31日,最優惠利率爲7.20%,循環設備融資利率爲9.20%。當公司償還循環設備融資時,它最多可以借回貸款額度,最高可達1,500萬美元。

  3. 高達300萬美元的授權透支額度(“授權透支”),由公司的應收賬款擔保,最高可達75%,減去應付商品及服務稅、應付所得稅、應付員工匯款和WCB應付賬款等優先應付賬款。授權透支按需到期,任何未清透支的利息按Prime+1.5%計算。截至2024年3月31日,最優惠利率爲7.20%,循環設備融資利率爲8.70%。

The Second Amended Financing Agreement is secured with a first charge over the Company's current and after acquired equipment, a general security agreement, a subordination and postponement agreement with a director of the Company with respect to a note payable, and other standard non-financial security.

經修訂的第二份融資協議以公司當前和之後購置的設備的第一筆按金、一般擔保協議、與公司董事簽訂的有關應付票據的從屬和延期協議以及其他標準非財務擔保作爲擔保。

The agreement has the following quarterly financial covenant requirements, calculated on a trailing twelve month basis:

該協議有以下季度財務契約要求,按過去十二個月計算:

  • a debt servicing covenant of no less than 1.25 to 1.00; and

  • a funded debt to EBITDA covenant of no more than 3.00 to 1.00.

  • 不低於1.25至1.00的還本付息協議;以及

  • 與息稅折舊攤銷前利潤之比的融資債務約定不超過3.00至1.00。

As at March 31, 2024, the Company is in compliance with its financial covenant requirements. The debt servicing ratio as calculated based on the Second Amended Financing Agreement was 2.04 to 1.00 and the funded debt to EBITDA was 1.95 to 1.00.

截至2024年3月31日,公司遵守了其財務契約要求。根據經修訂的第二份融資協議計算得出的償債比率爲2.04比1.00,融資債務與息稅折舊攤銷前利潤的比率爲1.95比1.00。

CREDIT RISK

信用風險

The Company extends credit to customers, primarily comprised of construction companies, energy companies and pipeline construction companies, in the normal course of its operations. Historically, bad debt expenses have been limited to specific customer circumstances. However, the volatility in economic activity may result in higher collection risk on trade receivables. The Company has reviewed its outstanding accounts receivable as at March 31, 2024 and believes the expected loss provision is sufficient.

該公司在正常運營過程中向主要由建築公司、能源公司和管道建設公司組成的客戶提供信貸。從歷史上看,壞賬支出僅限於特定的客戶情況。但是,經濟活動的波動可能導致貿易應收賬款的收款風險增加。該公司已審查了截至2024年3月31日的未清應收賬款,並認爲預期的虧損準備金足夠。

OUTLOOK

展望

Zedcor continues to execute its long-term strategy of growing its technology enabled security services across North America. The Company continues to effectively use a mix of cash flow, debt and the proceeds from its equity financing to build additional MobileyeZTM security towers to provide surveillance services to our expanding customer base. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company completed a $15.0 million equity financing which will help expedite our long-term strategy. While there was a decrease in utilization in Q4 2023 and the start of Q1 2024, this was temporary and revenue and utilization levels increased steadily during Q1 2024. The Company was able to effectively redeploy equipment to new customers throughout the Company's operating regions and grow US revenues to $333 in Q1 2024. The Company has grown its salesforce across Canada in order to obtain contracts for its MobileyeZTM and continue to expand its service offering to different industries. The US fleet of security towers is fully utilized and the Company continues to build a backlog of demand.

Zedcor繼續執行其長期戰略,在北美髮展其技術支持的安全服務。該公司繼續有效利用現金流、債務和股權融資收益的組合來增加MobileYezTM 安全塔爲我們不斷擴大的客戶群提供監控服務。2024年3月31日之後,公司完成了1,500萬美元的股權融資,這將有助於加快我們的長期戰略。儘管 2023 年第四季度和 2024 年第一季度初的利用率有所下降,但這是暫時的,收入和利用率在 2024 年第一季度穩步增長。該公司得以向公司整個運營區域的新客戶有效地重新部署設備,並在2024年第一季度將美國收入增長到333美元。爲了獲得其Mobileyez的合同,該公司在加拿大各地擴大了銷售隊伍TM 並繼續將其服務範圍擴大到不同的行業。美國的安全塔機隊已得到充分利用,該公司繼續積壓需求。

Priorities that the Company intends to focus on for the remainder for 2024 include:

公司打算在2024年剩餘時間內重點關注的優先事項包括:

  • 1) Expanding operations in the United States and continuing to grow revenues in Canada. Due to significant spending on infrastructure in North America, along with increased theft and vandalism, the Company is seeing strong demand for its products in both countries. Zedcor's innovative products, coupled with the Company's commitment to customer service, are perfectly situated to disrupt the traditional security market.

  • 2) With the strong demand that Zedcor is seeing for its security towers, the Company continues to further take control of its supply chain and remove bottlenecks for its security towers by manufacturing and assembling more of the components of its towers in house. This will allow us to actively manage demand and, over time, reduce our capital costs.

  • 3) Building new, innovative products based on customer demand. As the Company has obtained customers in different industry verticals, it has seen an increasing number of use cases for its security solutions coupled with Zedcor's 24/7 Live, VerifiedTM video monitoring. This includes a need for additional AI based technology that is actively monitored as well as a mobile security product with a smaller footprint.

  • 4) The Company intends to generate customer and shareholder value and positive earnings per share. By effectively managing its growth, executing on the above noted strategies and increasing its capital markets presence, Zedcor will be able to continue to generate positive earnings per share, grow its shareholder base and increase share price.

  • 1) 擴大在美國的業務,繼續增加在加拿大的收入。由於北美在基礎設施上的巨額支出以及盜竊和故意破壞行爲的增加,該公司看到兩國對其產品的強勁需求。Zedcor的創新產品,加上公司對客戶服務的承諾,完全有能力顛覆傳統的安全市場。

  • 2) 隨着Zedcor對其安全塔的強勁需求,該公司繼續進一步控制其供應鏈,並通過內部製造和組裝更多塔樓組件來消除安全塔的瓶頸。這將使我們能夠積極管理需求,並隨着時間的推移降低我們的資本成本。

  • 3) 根據客戶需求開發新的創新產品。隨着公司獲得不同垂直行業的客戶,其安全解決方案的用例越來越多,再加上Zedcor的全天候直播、驗證TM 視頻監控。這包括需要更多受到積極監控的基於人工智能的技術,以及佔地面積較小的移動安全產品。

  • 4)公司打算爲客戶和股東創造價值以及正每股收益。通過有效管理其增長,執行上述戰略並增加其資本市場的影響力,Zedcor將能夠繼續創造正的每股收益,擴大其股東基礎並提高股價。

NON-IFRS MEASURES RECONCILIATION

非國際財務報告準則指標對賬

Zedcor Inc. uses certain measures in this MD&A which do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These measures which are derived from information reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. These measures have been described and presented in this MD&A in order to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Company.

Zedcor Inc. 在本MD&A中使用的某些衡量標準不具有《國際財務報告準則》(“IFRS”)規定的任何標準化含義。這些指標源自合併運營報表和綜合收益中報告的信息,可能無法與其他申報發行人提出的類似指標進行比較。本MD&A中對這些措施進行了描述和介紹,目的是向股東和潛在投資者提供有關公司的更多信息。

Investors are cautioned that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per share, adjusted EBIT and adjusted free cash flow are not acceptable alternatives to net income or net income per share, a measurement of liquidity, or comparable measures as determined in accordance with IFRS.

投資者請注意,息稅折舊攤銷前利潤、調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤、調整後的每股息稅折舊攤銷前利潤、調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤、調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤和調整後的自由現金流不是淨收益或每股淨收益、流動性衡量標準或根據國際財務報告準則確定的可比衡量標準的替代方案。

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

息稅折舊攤銷前利潤和調整後的息稅折舊攤銷

EBITDA refers to net income before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before costs associated with severance, gains and losses on sale of equipment and stock based compensation. These measures do not have a standardized definition prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar captioned terms presented by other issuers.

息稅折舊攤銷前利潤是指扣除財務成本、所得稅、折舊和攤銷前的淨收益。調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤按扣除與遣散費、設備銷售損益和股票薪酬相關的成本前的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤計算。這些指標沒有《國際財務報告準則》規定的標準化定義,因此可能無法與其他發行人提出的類似標題條款進行比較。

Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of performance as they eliminate non-recurring items and the impact of finance and tax structure variables that exist between entities. "Adjusted EBITDA per share - basic" refers to Adjusted EBITDA divided by the weighted average basic number of shares outstanding during the relevant periods.

管理層認爲,息稅折舊攤銷前利潤和調整後息稅折舊攤銷前利潤是衡量績效的有用指標,因爲它們消除了非經常性項目以及實體之間存在的財務和稅收結構變量的影響。“調整後的每股息稅折舊攤銷前利潤——基本” 是指調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤除以相關時期內已發行股票的加權平均基本數。

Adjusted free cash flow

調整後的自由現金流

Adjusted free cash flow is defined by management as net income plus non-cash expenses, plus or minus the net change in non-cash working capital, less maintenance capital. Maintenance capital is also a non-IFRS term. Management defines maintenance capital as the amount of capital expenditure required to keep its operating assets functioning at the same level of efficiency. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow reflects the cash generated from the ongoing operation of the business. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure generally used as an indicator of funds available for re-investment and debt payment. There is no standardized method of determining free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow or maintenance capital prescribed under IFRS and therefore the Company's method of calculating these amounts is unlikely to be comparable to similar terms presented by other issuers.

管理層將調整後的自由現金流定義爲淨收入加上非現金支出,加上或減去非現金營運資金的淨變化,減去維護資金。維護資本也是一個非國際財務報告準則期限。管理層將維護資本定義爲保持其運營資產保持相同效率水平所需的資本支出金額。管理層認爲,調整後的自由現金流反映了業務持續運營產生的現金。調整後的自由現金流是一項非國際財務報告準則衡量標準,通常用作可用於再投資和債務償還的資金的指標。國際財務報告準則沒有規定的確定自由現金流、調整後的自由現金流或維持資本的標準化方法,因此,公司計算這些金額的方法不太可能與其他發行人提出的類似條款相提並論。

Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations is calculated as follows:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

前瞻性陳述

Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this MD&A constitute forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, including management's belief that streamlining rental assets with newer equipment will drive improvements in equipment rental rates and utilization, and that the expanded market reach and customer base will lead to more diversity in the Company's revenue stream and increase utilization.
