Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures and Ratios

Article content

As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with IFRS with certain non-IFRS and other financial measures and ratios as we believe these non-IFRS and other financial measures are useful to investors, lenders and others in assessing our performance and highlighting trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures for purposes of comparing to prior periods; preparing annual operating budgets; developing future projections and earnings growth prospects; measuring the profitability of ongoing operations; analyzing our financial condition, business performance and trends, including the operating performance of the business after taking into consideration the acquisitions of dental practices; and determining components of employee compensation. As such, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective, including how we evaluate our financial performance and how we manage our capital structure. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use these non-IFRS and other financial measures and industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers.
