3 Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, patent litigation, restructuring and other costs. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.  Adjusted EBITDA allows Route1 to compare its operating performance over time on a consistent basis.

Route1 generated cash from operating activities of approximately $0.4 million during Q2 2018 compared with cash used in operating activities of $0.1 million in Q2 2017.  Non-cash working capital of $0.3 million was generated in Q2 2018 compared to $1.6 million generated in the same period a year earlier.  Net cash generated from the day–to-day operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.8 million compared to $1.6 million in Q2 2017.
