Forward-Looking Information
In addition to historical financial information, this press release contains "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "seek", "potential", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "could", "would", "should", "continue", "plans", "target", "is/are likely to", or the negative of these terms, or similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and are subject to various known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Metatek, are inherently beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict, that may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied thereby, and are developed based on assumptions about such risks, uncertainties and other factors set out herein, including but not limited to: the ability of the Company to execute on its business and growth strategy in the future; the ability of the Company to enforce contractual provisions and receive timely payments from its customers for services rendered; the capability of the Company to continue to invest additional capital into its assets and to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, to fund capital expenditures; the level of costs and expenses to be incurred by the Company, including with respect to interest, general and administrative expenses and income tax expenses; the ability of the Company to obtain and retain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; the absence of any material litigation or claims against the Company; the general stability of the economic and political environment and the regulatory framework regarding taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; currency exchange and interest rates; the impact of competition; and changes and trends in the Company's industry. The risks and assumptions outlined above should not be construed as exhaustive.

Such forward-looking statements represent management's best judgment based on information currently available. No forward looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual future results may vary materially. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, such as "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA Margin", "Adjusted Backlog", "Gross Profit" and "Gross Profit Margin" which do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures and Gross Profit Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-IFRS ratios. Adjusted Backlog is a supplementary financial measure. These measures are used by management and by external users of the financial statements, such as investors, research analysts and others, to assess the financial performance of the Company's assets over the long-term and the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash to service indebtedness and fund maintenance and growth capital projects. In addition, Gross Profit Margin, Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Backlog are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in Metatek's industry with similar capital structures. Gross Profit, Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Backlog are all used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies, to make budgeting decisions and to compare performance against that of peer companies using similar measures.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is a non-IFRS financial measure calculated as revenue less cost of sales. Gross profit is used by management and external investors to assess efficiency in managing cost of sales relative to revenue.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross Profit Margin is a non-IFRS ratio calculated as gross profit divided by revenue. Gross Profit Margin is used by management and by external investors to assess efficiency in managing Cost of Sales relative to revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under IFRS and does not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before: (i) financing costs; (ii) income tax benefit or expense; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) gain, losses or impairments on the disposals of subsidiaries, assets, equity linked financial instruments; and (v) stock-based compensation and payments. Metatek uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary non-IFRS financial measure of profitability to evaluate the performance of the business. Management believe that Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful because it presents the financial performance of the business on a basis which excludes the impact of certain non-cash items as well as how the operations have been financed.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-IFRS ratio calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is used by management and by external investors to assess efficiency in managing Operating Expenses relative to our revenue. The following tables reconcile Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to their closest IFRS measures.
