EBITDA
EBITDA is defined by the Company as operating income before interest expense, income taxes, amortization, stock-based compensation, asset dispositions and provision for discontinued operations. The Company has included information concerning EBITDA because it believes that EBITDA is used by certain investors as one measure of the Company's financial performance. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles) as a measure of liquidity.
