(1) EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance not defined by international financial reporting standards (IFRS), and therefore, it does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, the measure is unlikely to be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. The reconciliation of EBITDA to net income and the reason why the company uses this measure can be found in management's discussion and analysis for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, under Section 20, on non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and additional GAAP measures.
