DIVIDENDS
The Board of Directors today declared an eligible dividend in respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, of CDN$0.29 per share on the common shares of the company, payable on or after September 9, 2025 to shareholders of record on August 22, 2025.
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company uses certain non-GAAP and other financial measures to provide useful information to both management, investors, and other stakeholders in assessing the financial performance and financial condition of the Company.
Certain expenses and income that must be recognized under GAAP are not necessarily reflective of the Company’s underlying operational performance. For this reason, management uses certain non-GAAP and other financial measures when analyzing operational performance on a consistent basis.
These Non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore they are unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, and they should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Please see the “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” section of the Company’s MD&A for further information.
