2 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain information contained in these materials and to be discussed during this presentation constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including, among others, statements concerning the Company s objectives and strategies to achieve those objectives, sales of the Company s products, the Company s product candidates and the timeline for their development and commercialization, the Company s future financial condition and performance, potential acquisition and licensing transactions, as well as other statements with respect to management s beliefs, plans, estimates, and intentions, and similar statements concerning anticipated future events, results, circumstances, performance or expectations that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking information reflect management s current beliefs as of the date hereof and are based on information currently available to Management. Although the forward-looking information contained in these materials and to be discussed during this presentation is based upon what management believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information is based on the Company s estimates and assumptions, and is subject to risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information, including those described in the Company s annual information form, management discussion and analysis and other documents filed with Canadian securities regulators, copies of which are available under the Company s profile at Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 2

3 NON-IFRS MEASURES The Company reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS. However, we use certain non-ifrs financial measures to assess our Company's performance. We believe these to be useful to management, investors and other financial stakeholders in assessing Crescita's performance from both a financial and operational standpoint. The non-ifrs measure used in this presentation does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore not comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. This measure should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS found in our continuous disclosure documents. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-ifrs measure. This term is defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, income taxes (recovery), depreciation and amortization, gain on debt renegotiations, net, equity-settled stock-based compensation (SBC), goodwill and intangible assets impairment, accretion on the fair value of inventory, and foreign currency (gains) and losses. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance and cash flow and provides useful information to investors as it highlights trends in the underlying business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. 3
