Article content
The revenue decline was primarily driven by lower advertising revenues. A dramatic increase in economic uncertainty combined with general tariffs from the United States and agricultural tariffs from China impacted the agricultural publications, local consumer digital, and community media print publications. Revenue also decreased as the result of the closure or sale of community media publications over the past 12 months.

Non-IFRS financial measures
Article content
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin and EBITDA per share, are not generally accepted measures of financial performance under IFRS. Management utilizes EBITDA as a financial performance measure to assess profitability and return on equity in its decision making. In addition, the Company, its lenders and its investors use EBITDA to measure performance and value for various purposes. Investors are cautioned; however, that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company’s performance.
