Available at SLANG's Burlington Ceres Collaborative Dispensary, New Alchemy Naturals Edibles Deliver Quick Onset and Consistent, Reliable, Consumption Experience Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 12, 2023) - SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CNSX: SLNG) (OTCQB: SLGWF) ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, announced today that it has launched its first line of fast-acting cannabis-infused gummies under its Alchemy Naturals all-natural THC gummy brand. Available in Vermont at SLANG's Ceres Collaborative located in downtown Burlington, and soon in dispensaries across Vermont via wholesale-Alchemy Naturals' new fast-acting gummies harness TiME INFUSION® (Thermodynamic Individual Molecular Encapsulation) technology from Azuca, expediting the onset time to between five and fifteen minutes. Designed for a stackable, social and session-able cannabis consumption experience, Alchemy Naturals' fast-acting gummies aim to meet Vermonters' demand for a consistent cannabis edible that yields effects swiftly. In collaboration with Azuca, which develops best-in-class, rapid-onset delivery systems and advanced formulations, Alchemy Naturals' new gummies launched with two inviting flavors-Blackberry Lime and Cranberry Orange, in perfectly dosed 5mg packages. "Azuca has invested a lot of time into research around creating a fast-acting solution for edible products in the cannabis industry," stated Brittany Hallett, VP, Marketing of SLANG. "Our Alchemy edibles brand has been widely recognized for its flavor and all-natural ingredients. The opportunity to add Azuca's technology to our already uniquely formalized gummies makes them even more desirable to our consumer base as it adds the additional layer of providing a consistent cannabis experience. We are confident in Azuca's research and have seen the success that they have achieved in bringing this technology to the high-demand THC edible market." "We're thrilled to partner with Alchemy Naturals for the launch of its new cannabis-infused gummy," said Kim Sanchez Rael, Azuca Co-founder and CEO. "The collaboration combines our innovative TiME INFUSION® with Alchemys' commitment to high-quality, delicious products that support daily wellness. Together, we're revolutionizing the cannabis industry by delivering fast-acting, great-tasting edibles that provide a controllable and enjoyable experience for consumers." Alchemy Naturals and Azuca recognize that one of the biggest challenges consumers face with edibles is the unpredictable onset time. In addition, the lag between consumption and effects may compel consumers to keep on eating the edibles-and then they've had too much. Alchemy Naturals aims to solve this problem by providing consumers with predictable, dose-able products they can trust. While traditional edibles convert Delta-9-THC in the digestive tract to 11-Hydroxy-THC, Alchemy Naturals gummies contain individually encapsulated Delta-9-THC cannabinoids. The technology provides greater cannabinoid bioavailability that works at the molecular level to bypass the liver and enter the bloodstream immediately. For most, this means onset in less than 15 minutes and a Delta-9-THC experience that lasts two to four hours. Azuca's infusion process also provides consumers with a true Delta-9 THC experience-a euphoric high akin to inhaling cannabis. This proprietary formulation gives an uplifting, lighter and more euphoric sensation than the heavy effect of traditional edibles. ### About SLANG Worldwide SLANG Worldwide Inc. is an industry leader in branded cannabis consumer packaged goods, with a diversified portfolio of five distinct brands and products distributed across the U.S. Operating in 13 legal cannabis markets nationwide, SLANG specializes in acquiring and developing market-proven regional brands, as well as launching innovative new brands to seize global market opportunities and match evolving consumer tastes.

(CSE: SLNG) (OTCQB: SLGWF) ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today released financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023. All figures in this press release are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. "SLANG's results from Q1 FY2023 again demonstrated the strength of the SLANG business model and our ability to thrive in the country's most competitive cannabis markets, and create a differentiated financial profile. By operating in a flexible and scalable manner to effectively compete in each specific cannabis market where we operate, we have now produced positive Adjusted EBITDA, our first quarter of positive EBITDA, our second consecutive quarter of positive operational cash flow, and our highest quarterly adjusted margins to date, of 52%. We anticipate this positive momentum to continue through fiscal 2023 as we further elevate our market position and continue to drive top and bottom-line results," commented John Moynan, Chief Executive Officer of SLANG. "Our core markets of Vermont and Colorado continue to outperform expectations, with our portfolio of leading brands fueling solid sales growth. In fact, we achieved our strongest sales growth in Colorado in the first quarter with sales increasing 12% year-over-year. Our ability to continue driving high-margin revenue from our Core Markets positions these operations as the financial backbone of our Company, allowing us to be aggressive in driving brand performance nationally through our Emerging Markets," Mr. Moynan concluded. First Quarter 2023 Operational Highlights and Growth Drivers: Generated positive operational cash flow in Q4 FY2022 and Q1 FY2023, achieving two consecutive quarters of positive operational cash flow1. In the first two O.pen promotions of Q1 2023, the Company saw its top 5 highest volume accounts deliver a 30-66% year-over-year sales lift. This was driven by a new strategic marketing approach in 2023, concentrated on structured, brand-driven promotions during key sales periods throughout the year. Launched O.pen and Alchemy Naturals into the Vermont wholesale market, a significant near-term growth opportunity. In April 2023, expanded into the new market of West Virginia, launching operations through strategic partnerships with leading, high-quality premium cannabis brands and operators. First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights Revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $10.82 million, compared with $8.37 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a 29% increase year-over-year. The primary drivers of the increase were due to an increase in our Core Market sales of $2.05 million in Vermont and $0.78 million in Colorado, offset by a reduction in Emerging Market sales. The increase in Vermont was driven by the opening of the Company's CERES Collaborative dispensary on October 1, 2022, Vermont's first recreational cannabis store. Gross profit of $5.72 million (53% gross margin) in Q1 2023, compared with $3.66 million (44% gross margin) in Q1 2022, representing a 56% increase year-over-year. Adjusted gross profit1 was $5.68 million (52% adjusted gross margin) in Q1 2023, compared with $3.64 million (43% adjusted gross margin) in Q1 2022, representing a 56% increase year-over-year. EBITDA1 of $0.68 million in Q1 2023, compared with ($2.36 million) in Q1 2022. The improvement in EBITDA is primarily attributable to a $2.06 million increase in gross profit and a $0.55 million decrease in share-based payments. Further reductions in operating expenditures such as consulting and subcontractors also contributed to the improvement in EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA1 of $0.74 million in Q1 2023, compared with ($1.64 million) in Q1 2022. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily attributable to a $2.04 million increase in gross profit before fair value adjustments of biological assets. Further reductions in operating expenditures such as consulting and subcontractors also contributed to the improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. $11.67 million in cash and restricted cash on March 31, 2023, compared to $11.92 million on December 31, 2022. Excluding deferred cash consideration of $0.33 million paid in connection with the Company's acquisition of High Fidelity Inc. ("HiFi"), the Company was operational cash flow positive in the three months ending March 31, 20231.

Non-IFRS Measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin and operational cash flow are non-IFRS financial measures that the Company uses to assess its operating performance. EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before net finance costs, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization expense. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for other non-cash items such as the impact of unrealized fair values, share based compensation expense, impairments, one-time gains and losses, and one-time revenues and expenses. Management defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit before fair value adjustment of biological assets. Management defines adjusted gross margin as gross margin before fair value adjustment of biological assets. Management defines operational cash flow as cash flow of the business, excluding milestone payments made in connection with the Company's acquisition of HiFi, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 25, 2021, as amended. This data is furnished to provide additional information and are non-IFRS measures and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company uses these non-IFRS measures to provide shareholders and others with supplemental measures of its operating performance. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, frequently use these non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. As other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently than the Company, these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We caution readers that Adjusted EBITDA should not be substituted for determining net loss as an indicator of operating results, or as a substitute for cash flows from operating and investing activities. During 2022 the Company updated its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include the impact of fair value amounts included in inventory sold and unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets. The comparative 2021 figures have been updated to conform to this current period presentation.

(CNSX: SLNG) (OTCQB: SLGWF)("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today released financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022. All figures in this press release are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Key Financial Highlights: Generated positive operational cash flow in Q4 FY2022 and again subsequent to the end of the year in Q1 FY2023, achieving two consecutive quarters of positive operational cash flow1,2. Revenue from continuing operations for FY 2022 was $38.19 million, compared with $37.78 million in FY 2021, representing a 1% increase year-over-year. The primary driver of the increase was the recognition of a full year of revenue from High Fidelity, Inc. ("HiFi") in Vermont, offset by a reduction in revenue resulting from shifting Oregon from a Core Market to an Emerging Market which was completed in Q4 2021, and a reduction in Emerging Market sales. Adjusted gross profit1 of $17.62 million (46% adjusted gross margin1) in FY 2022, compared with $14.47 million adjusted gross profit (38% adjusted gross margin) in FY 2021, representing a 22% increase year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA1 of ($3.65 million) in FY 2022, compared with ($5.63 million) in FY 2021. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily attributable to a $3.16 million increase in Adjusted gross profit, offset by an increase in operating expenditures related to HiFi, which is not presented in the comparative period before August 11, 2021. EBITDA1 of ($8.71 million) in FY 2022, compared with ($17.49 million) in FY 2021. The improvement in EBITDA is primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenditures (excluding depreciation and amortization) of $7.41 million and an increase in gross profit of $1.32 million. $11.9 million in cash and restricted cash on December 31, 2022, compared to $20.83 million on December 31, 2021. John Moynan, Chief Executive Officer of SLANG, commented, "2022 was a transformational year for SLANG, and the Company is demonstrating exceptional financial performance relative to its peer group. In Q4 FY2022, we achieved positive operational cash flow for the first time in the Company's history, which we also generated subsequent to year end in Q1 FY2023, meaning we have now produced two consecutive quarters of positive operational cashflow. We continue to consolidate our supply chain and streamline our operations to drive financial results across our Core and Emerging markets. In the month of October 2022, we achieved cash flow positivity for the first time in the Company's history. We demonstrated year-over-year adjusted gross margin growth for each quarter of 2022, and we believe this trend will continue as we drive revenue growth in our most profitable channels." Mr. Moynan added, "We continued to demonstrate success in our Core markets of Vermont and Colorado, with several key milestones achieved over the year. Our products maintain leading status in the country's most competitive cannabis markets, with a portfolio of best-in-class brands - in particular, O.pen, which remains today's top selling vape cartridge product in Colorado, a position it has maintained for the last 8 years3. O.pen sales remain strong, and this year the brand has outpaced the competition by a wide margin despite challenging market conditions. In 2023, SLANG is focused on expanding our market share through product sales channels, such as THC-free, to diversify our profitable revenue streams. We will further build upon our successful partnership model to enter new emerging markets in a capital-efficient manner, strategically positioning our brands at the forefront of the industry and SLANG for continued growth." Operational Highlights and Growth Drivers: On September 28, 2022, Vermont regulators issued an integrated marijuana license to the Company allowing the Company to open its CERES Collaborative dispensary on October 1, 2022, Vermont's first recreational cannabis store. O.pen has been ranked the #1 Vape Brand in Colorado each year since 2015, and SLANG launched the 10 Years of O.pen program in October, with special incentives driving record sales for O.pen in Colorado with a 229% increase in sales from August to September. This success prompted a new strategic approach in 2023, focused on structured, brand-driven promotions during key sales periods throughout the year. In the first two O.pen promotions of Q1 2023, the Company has seen its top 5 highest volume accounts deliver a 30-66% year-over-year sales lift. New vertically integrated operations in Vermont generated $11 million in revenue in FY 2022, significantly outpacing the Company's forecasts for the State. Successfully launched Alchemy Naturals Edibles in Colorado in July and e-commerce in September with an 8% growth in dollar sales from July to September. Expanded into new markets, launching operations in Michigan and Maryland in May 2022, and in West Virginia subsequent to year end in April 2023 through strategic partnerships with leading, high-quality premium cannabis brands and operators in those states. Financial Year 2022 Corporate Updates In October, Mr. John Moynan was promoted to Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Ms. Ruth Chun, an independent director of the Company, was appointed Chair of the Board. Announced newly formulated M&A and Investment Committee chaired by independent board member Kevin Albert.

Non-IFRS Measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin and operational cash flow are non-IFRS financial measures that the Company uses to assess its operating performance. EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before net finance costs, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization expense. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for other non-cash items such as the impact of unrealized fair values, share based compensation expense, impairments, one-time gains and losses, and one-time revenues and expenses. Management defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit before fair value adjustment of biological assets. Management defines adjusted gross margin as gross margin before fair value adjustment of biological assets. Management defines operational cash flow as cash flow of the business excluding milestone payments made in connection with the Company's acquisition of HiFi, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 25, 2021, as amended. This data is furnished to provide additional information and are non-IFRS measures and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company uses these non-IFRS measures to provide shareholders and others with supplemental measures of its operating performance. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, frequently use these non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. As other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently than the Company, these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We caution readers that Adjusted EBITDA should not be substituted for determining net loss as an indicator of operating results, or as a substitute for cash flows from operating and investing activities. During 2022 the Company updated its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include the impact of fair value amounts included in inventory sold and unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets. The comparative 2021 figures have been updated to conform to this current period presentation.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 22, 2023) - SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CNSX: SLNG) (OTCQB: SLGWF) ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today issued a letter to shareholders from its Chief Executive Officer, John Moynan. To our Shareholders, As we reflect on our fiscal fourth quarter, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss how our continued efforts to optimize the business have continued to produce results. We have built a scalable, nimble and efficient business centered on our unique ability to distribute our award-winning brands. Despite challenging market conditions, SLANG continues to thrive in many of the U.S.'s most competitive cannabis markets. Our team has clearly differentiated SLANG as a company that consistently builds and maintains its market share amidst a crowded industry of multi-state operators and competitive brands. Our success this past year is a direct result of our commitment to successfully advancing our streamlined business strategy, which continues to prioritize geographic expansion through strategic partnership. We continue to expand our footprint while leveraging a vertically-integrated operational infrastructure in our Core Markets, Colorado and Vermont, as the backbone of our brand and national distribution. Our ability to operate a lean, efficient, and streamlined operation has had a clear impact on our revenue and margins. I am pleased to report that due to the strength of the SLANG business model, we significantly reshaped our financial results in 2022 and set SLANG on a course for continued profitable growth for the remainder of 2023. In Q4, SLANG generated positive operating cash flow1, and as a result, at the close of our fiscal year 2022, SLANG was operating with a much-improved financial position. As of December 31, 20222, Cash and cash equivalents were $11.9 million CDN; Clean balance sheet - minimal debt composed of non-material payments; Continued margin expansion, increasing to 46.4% for Fiscal Year 2022 compared to 38.3% in Fiscal Year 2021; In Colorado, O.pen cartridge sales outperformed the category by 13.5% in H2 2022 vs. H2 2021; New vertically integrated operations in Vermont generated $4MM in revenue, significantly outpacing our forecast for the State; and THC free wholesale distribution introduced new higher margin sales in a key growth channel. As you can see, our results show sales momentum as we continue to meet increased demand for our award-winning products in both our Emerging and Core Markets. We continue to keep an eye on the evolving cannabis industry, innovating within our core competencies to further build our brand while operating in the most efficient manner. To this end, we remain focused on consistently undergoing SKU-rationalization, further improving the supply chain and closely following consumer trends to advance strong-performing assets while eliminating weaker ones. We pride ourselves on our ability to succeed in today's most competitive cannabis markets, building a portfolio of best-in-class brands that consumers consistently select over other cannabis products. O.pen remains today's top selling vape cartridge product in Colorado, a position it has maintained for the last 8 years, according to BDSA data. Most notably, despite operating within a declining market category, O.pen sales remain strong, and this year the brand has outpaced the competition by a wide margin despite challenging market conditions. In addition, we remain focused on the rapidly changing cannabis legalization landscape and continue to successfully enter today's rapidly growing emerging cannabis. We recently announced our entry into West Virginia through our strategic partnership with Trulieve Cannabis Corp., placing our products now in 13 states that are demonstrating strong growth and driving the brand metrics which we believe will drive long-term value. As we continue to expand our market share across the most competitive markets, we are focused in 2023 on further leveraging our robust, vertically-integrated operations to advance existing and new product sales channels, such as THC-free, to further diversify our profitable revenue streams. We will continue to build upon our successful partnership model to enter new emerging markets in a capital-efficient manner, strategically positioning our brands at the forefront of the industry. Once again, I would like to thank our Board of Directors, management team and shareholders for their ongoing support.

John Moynan, Chief Executive Officer of SLANG, stated, "Our acquisition of Hi-Fi in August 2021 quickly placed SLANG in the center of one of the country's fastest growing cannabis markets and opened the door to a number of key near and long-term growth opportunities. We are already recognizing better than anticipated adult-use sales from our Ceres Collaborative Dispensary, and believe that this retail footprint, supported by our newly acquired vertically-integrated operational infrastructure in Vermont, will drive a new level of financial growth for SLANG. We very quickly established Vermont as a key core market for our continued growth and look forward to building upon our initial success to further elevate SLANG's industry-leading market position. Hi-Fi has a strong history operating as Vermont's largest medical cannabis company and we are excited to play a leading role in Vermont's adult-use market as we further their initial success."

Completes Integration of Acquired Vermont Cannabis Operations in Preparation for Launch of Adult-Use Sales Successfully Launched Alchemy Naturals in Colorado Leveraged New Streamlined Infrastructure in Vermont and Colorado to Sustain Higher Gross Margins and Increase Cash Flow Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2022) - SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CSE: SLNG) (OTCQB: SLGWF) ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today released financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. All figures in this press release are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. John Moynan, CEO of SLANG, said, "As I was appointed CEO in October, SLANG had been set on a new growth trajectory as we neared the completion of our operational restructuring. In the third quarter, SLANG strategically advanced upon a number of key growth opportunities in our Core Markets of Colorado and Vermont which have significantly enhanced our leadership position and are now driving a new level of financial success. Most notably, we completed the integration of our newly acquired Vermont cannabis operations and successfully launched adult-use sales in our Burlington store in October as the first adult-use dispensary in the state. As sales continue to build from the launch of new products, we face a greater opportunity to serve a more expansive consumer base and believe Vermont will serve as a key revenue channel for our business." "Despite a weakening in the Colorado market in the quarter, our O.pen brand continued to perform strongly and remains the top selling vape product in the market. Once again, O.pen was recognized as Colorado's best vape product by BDSA, generating $3.8 million in retail sales in September, $1.5 million more than the nearest branded competitor and private label competitor. We exceeded our sales projections for the month of October and believe that, as demand continues to build for O.pen, as well as our newly launched Alchemy products, we will continue to see steady financial growth from these products going forward. This is perhaps the most exciting time in SLANG's history. We are operating more efficiently than ever before and we have a clear path towards profitability." Third Quarter 2022 Operational Highlights and Growth Drivers: Vermont regulators issued a retail marijuana license to the Company on September 28, 2022, allowing the Company to open its Ceres Collaborative dispensary on October 1, 2022, Vermont's first adult-use cannabis store; Successfully launched Alchemy Naturals Edibles in Colorado in July and e-commerce in September with an 8% growth in dollar sales from July to September; Sustained margin improvement of 44% along with significant reduction in operational expenses; Increased Colorado sales as one of the Company's key accounts delivered a 229% increase in sales from August to September. SLANG achieved total Colorado sales growth for the month of September of 44.5% year-over-year and 75% from August, significantly beating the Company's overall quarterly sales forecast in Colorado by 12%. Subsequent Quarterly Operational Highlights: Cash flow positive in October[1]; Kicked off 10 Years of O.pen Program in October with the launch of special incentives driving strong October product sales; O.pen ranked #1 Vape Brand in Colorado for its 20 month since 2019; Adult-use sales in Vermont began October 1, 2022. Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights Revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 ("Q3 2022") was $8.17 million, compared with $9.36 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 ("Q3 2021"), representing a 13% decrease year-over-year. The primary drivers of the decrease were due to a reduction of $0.87 million in sales in our non-core markets sales, a reduction of $0.78 million in Firefly 2+ sales and a reduction of $0.29 million in Colorado Core Market sales, offset by a $0.75 million increase in revenue associated with the acquisition of High Fidelity, Inc. ("HiFi") completed on August 11, 2021. Gross profit of $3.60 million (44% gross margin) in Q3 2022, compared with $3.46 million (37% gross margin) in Q3 2021, representing a 4% increase year-over-year. Despite the decrease in revenue year-over-year, gross profit increased due to lower cost of raw cannabis inputs in Colorado, higher margins associated with HiFi's retail operations, and two previously completed strategic initiatives being the elimination of low-margin Oregon sales and the elimination of low margin products via an internal SKU rationalization process. EBITDA of ($3.43 million) in Q3 2022, compared with ($5.54 million) in Q3 2021. The improvement in EBITDA is primarily attributable to a reduction of $1.86 million in expected credit losses and an increase in gross profit of $0.14 million. Adjusted EBITDA of ($1.24 million) in Q3 2022, compared with ($1.56 million) in Q3 2021. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily attributable to a $0.45 million increase in gross profit before fair value adjustments on biological assets, offset by an increase in operating expenditures related to HiFi, which is not presented in the comparative period before August 11, 2021. $12.23 million in cash and restricted cash on September 30, 2022, compared to $20.83 million on December 31, 2021, and $15.72 million on June 30, 2022.

Subsequent to the third quarter of 2022, the Company has also granted 4,733,526 incentive stock options (the "Options") to acquire common shares in the capital of the Company with an exercise price to equal the greater of: (i) the closing market price on November 30, 2022; and (ii) the closing market price on December 1, 2022, to its independent directors.

Non-IFRS Measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures that the Company uses to assess its operating performance. EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before net finance costs, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization expense. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for other non-cash items such as the impact of unrealized fair values, share based compensation expense, impairments, one-time gains and losses, and one-time revenues and expenses. This data is furnished to provide additional information and are non-IFRS measures and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company uses these non-IFRS measures to provide shareholders and others with supplemental measures of its operating performance. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, frequently use these non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. As other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently than the Company, these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We caution readers that Adjusted EBITDA should not be substituted for determining net loss as an indicator of operating results, or as a substitute for cash flows from operating and investing activities.
