16 Financial Terms and Conditions The financial information relating to MCI provided in this presentation is based on or derived from MCI s financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA consists of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and certain nonrecurring charges as set out in the Company s management discussion and analysis dated November 4, 2015 ( MD&A ) available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Adjusted EBITDA of MCI described in this presentation has been calculated by management in a similar manner. Free Cash Flow means net cash generated by operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital items, interest paid, interest expense, income taxes paid, current income tax expense and certain other adjustments as set forth in the MD&A and the Company s historical public filings. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are useful measures in evaluating the performance of the Company and MCI. However, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not recognized earnings measures and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other issuers. Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or loss determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's or MCI s performance, and Free Cash Flow should not be construed as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities determined in accordance with IFRS, as a measure of liquidity and cash flows.
