*Non-IFRS Financial Measure
Readers are cautioned that “Adjusted EBITDA” and “total bookings” are measures not recognized under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, restructuring costs, impairment charges and other non-recurring gains or losses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons. Total bookings includes the full amount of cash received from new domain bookings, renewals and other related services. Whereas, under IFRS, the Company records revenue from domain booking and renewal fees on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract term. However, the Company’s management believes that “total bookings” provides investors with insight into management’s decision-making process because management uses this measure to run the business and make financial, strategic and operating decisions. Further, “total bookings” also provides useful insight into the Company’s operating performance on a yearly basis. “Total bookings” do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Readers are cautioned that “Adjusted EBITDA” and “total bookings” are not an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS and should not, on their own, be construed as indicators of performance, cash flow or profitability.
