(1) Increase in cash costs per copper pound sold in Q4 2015 is due to a write-down of inventory of $7,944,486 to net realizable value.

(2) Total cash costs, average realized price and average realized margin are calculated on post-commercial pounds sold only.

(3) Refer to the section on Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures at end of the press release. Reconciliation of these measures is described in the MD&A.

 

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

 

The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures in this press release, including “total cash cost per copper pound”, “average realized price”, “average realized margin”, “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA per share”. The Company believes these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.
