Adjusted EBITDA1
Result: $25.6M
1Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and represents net loss before interest and other expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-
based compensation costs, restructuring charges, acquisition-related deferred revenue fair value adjustment, and foreign exchange loss.
2This adjusted EBITDA target is a forward-looking statement and is based on the newly adopted IFRS 16 accounting standard which adds ~$4 million to
adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2020. In addition, as it excludes items that pertain to future events that are not currently estimable with a reasonable degree of
accuracy, such as foreign exchange gain or loss and income taxes, no corresponding IFRS measure has been provided.
