The Company recognizes the importance of technological advancements and aims to accelerate customer acceptance and adoption of its digital visualization products through ongoing investment in R&D, AI, contractor solutions, data science, and platform functionality.

Within the MD & A reference is made to "working capital", which is a non-IFRS measure.  Working capital is traditionally defined as current assets less current liabilities. Included in the working capital calculation is significant non-cash deferred revenue, which when removed from the traditional working capital calculation, management believes is a better indicator of the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet current obligations.  Excluding deferred revenue, a significant non-cash item included in working capital, the Company's working capital at March 31, 2023 is positive $1,261,268 ($1,459,074 – Dec 31, 2022).

*Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure not recognized under IFRS. However, management of Renoworks believes that most shareholders, creditors, other stakeholders and investment analysts prefer to have these measures included as reported measures of operating performance, a proxy for cash flow, and to facilitate valuation analysis. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, restructuring costs, impairment charges and other non-recurring gains or losses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons.

Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA is not an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as indicators of performance, cash flow or profitability. References to the Renoworks' Adjusted EBITDA should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of Renoworks posted on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
