In this news release, forward-looking statements pertain, among other things, to the Corporation's ability to deliver sustainable growth to its shareholders; the success of the Corporation in the Georgia gaming market; the ability of the Corporation to execute upon a consolidation strategy in the Georgia gaming market; the timing and ability of the Corporation to complete the Additional Lucky Bucks Interest Acquisition, if at all; the Additional Lucky Bucks Interest Acquisition being exempt from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval under MI 61-101 and the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange; and the ability of the Corporation to complete the Additional Lucky Bucks Interest Acquisition on terms announced and pay the $2.35 million promissory note due to Lucky Bucks Ventures, Inc. on the agreed terms.

 

All forward-looking statements reflect the Corporation's beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the statements were made. Actual results or events may differ from those predicted in these forward-looking statements. All of the Corporation's forward-looking statements are qualified by the assumptions that are stated or inherent in such forward-looking statements, including the assumptions listed below. Although the Corporation believes that these assumptions are reasonable, this list is not exhaustive of factors that may affect any of the forward-looking statements. The key assumptions that have been made in connection with the forward-looking statements include the following: the digital gaming terminals being fully-licensed by the Georgia State Lottery, the continuation of the Corporation's consolidation strategy in the Georgia gaming market, the growing footprint of Quantum in the Georgia gaming market, generating value for the shareholders of the Corporation, the regulatory regime governing the business of Quantum in Georgia, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar, the ability to grow the business and generate stable distributions for shareholders, the availability of high growth, high margin opportunities, and the execution of the Corporation's business strategy.

 

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

Statements in this news release make reference to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS (as defined herein) financial measure that the Corporation believes is appropriate to provide meaningful comparison with, and to enhance an overall understanding of, the Corporation's past financial performance and prospects for the future. The Corporation believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses and items that management believe are not indicative of Quantum's core operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before financing costs, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, foreign exchange, impairment, gain/loss on settlement of accounts payable, financing income, business acquisition costs, warrant fair value adjustment and derivative asset fair value adjustment. As there is no standardized method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, it may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Corporation considers Adjusted EBITDA to be a relevant indicator for measuring trends in performance and its ability to generate funds to service its debt and to meet its future working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted earnings measure and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), cash flows or other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
