Non - IFRS Financial Data* 26 *To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the non - IFRS adjusted EBITDA as financial measures for our consolidated results . We believe that adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in loss from operations and net loss . We believe that these non - IFRS measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision - making . We present the non - IFRS financial measures in order to provide more information and greater transparency to investors about our operating results . EBITDA represents net income before (i) finance costs, income taxes and depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, which we do not believe are reflective of our core operating performance during the periods presented . Non - IFRS adjusted net income represents net income before (i) finance costs, foreign exchange losses (gain), income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, (ii) certain non - cash expenses, consisting of stock - based compensation expense, provision for and written off of withholding tax receivables . Non - IFRS earnings per share represents non - IFRS net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods . Non - IFRS diluted earnings per share represents non - IFRS net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods on a diluted basis . The table above is a reconciliation of our net loss to EBITDA and non - IFRS net loss for the periods indicated . 2022 2023 $ (18,603,626) (29,623,520) $ Net loss from continuing operations – IFRS 1,141,830 653,374 Finance costs 132,208 434,320 Income tax expense (benefit) 5,981,407 5,243,240 Depreciation and amortization expense (11,348,181) (23,292,586) EBITDA 252,095 1,101,800 Stock based compensation expense - 899,433 Provision for expected credit loss on trade receivables and other receivables - 5,637,527 Allowance for doubtful debts on a related party - 2,267,583 Impairment on goodwill - 3,713,551 Impairment on intangible assets 448,243 683,344 Written off/ Provision for withholding tax receivables 942,882 3,797,552 Provision for obsolete inventories 4,408,037 3,682,789 Impairment loss on fixed assets 590,965 (305,026 ) Foreign exchange gains (losses), net $ (4,705,959 ) (1,814,033 ) $ Adjusted net (loss) income (Non - IFRS) For the years ended December 31,
