Use of Non-IFRS Financial Results

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, this press release contains certain financial measures that are not prepared under IFRS.  These measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies. The Company defines non-IFRS operating profit (loss) as operating profit (loss) excluding the effect of share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-IFRS net income as net income (loss) excluding the effect of share-based compensation expenses and listing expenses. The Company's management believes the non-IFRS financial information provided in this press release is useful to investors' understanding and assessment of the Company's ongoing operations because it provides management and investors with measurements of the Company's operations and profitability excluding the impact of share-based compensation, an item that the Company does not consider to be indicative of its core operating performance, and listing expenses that are non-recurring and expensed in connection with the Company's IPO. Management also uses both IFRS and non-IFRS information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. The non-IFRS financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS and the financial results calculated in accordance with IFRS and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Reconciliations between IFRS measures and non-IFRS measures are provided in Appendix A to this press release.
