Use and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures In this press release, we have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, non-IFRS financial measures, which are key measures used by our management and board of directors in evaluating our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPA are our preferred metrics for profitability because we believe these metrics facilitate operating performance and profit performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and exclude items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Our management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EPS in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in our financial statements. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by our management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining such non-IFRS financial measures. For more details on the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS and reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to IFRS financial measures, see the press release and the investor presentation TNL Mediagene released on May 13, 2025.
