General
Management monitors the results of its operating segments separately for making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated on several measures, the most significant being profit and loss, which is measured consistently with the definition of profit and loss in the Financial Statements. Management also uses gross profit excluding fair value adjustments as a key performance indicator by reportable segment. Management adjusts external pricing of its products/service to end users to ensure that optimal gross profit percentages are being met, while pricing within market demand and expectations. Selling prices are adjusted to account for fluctuations in cost to achieve consistent in gross profit by product line and service.

Given the Company's position as a vertically integrated Cannabis company/producer, management will continue to adjust internal strategy based on external factors causing fluctuations in either selling prices of products/services and input cost of products and services to ensure capacity allocation is being optimized on products/services in highest demand, while ensuring mandated gross profit margins are being achieved.

Management notes that the current climate of Cannabis industry is extremely competitive and saturated with multiple products across the Nation. The Company has several competitive advantages to ensure long-term success within the industry. In the short-term, this relates primarily with respect to our butane hydrocarbon (BHO) extraction process. Management continues to explore various concentrate products to diversify it offer to the market by formulating new products to meet demand.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

Non-GAAP Measures

This news release contains the financial performance metric of Adjusted EBITDA, a measure that is not recognized or defined under IFRS (a "Non-GAAP Measure"). As a result, this data may not be comparable to data presented by other cannabis companies. For an explanation and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to related comparable financial information presented in the Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, refer to the MD&A for the three and six months ended January 31, 2022. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of operational performance and is specifically used by management to assess the financial and operational performance of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of the Company's financial performance. It is intended to provide a proxy for the Company's operating cash flow and is widely used by industry analysts to compare CanadaBis to its competitors and derive expectations of future financial performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA increases comparability between comparative companies by eliminating variability resulting from differences in capital structures, management decisions related to resource allocation, and the impact of fair value adjustments on biological assets, inventory, and financial instruments, which may be volatile on a period-to-period basis. Adjusted EBTIDA is not a recognized, defined, or standardized measure under IFRS. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) excluding changes in fair value of biological assets, change in fair value of biological assets realized through inventory sold, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based payments, and finance costs.
