Non-GAAP Measures Definitions This document contains references to certain financial measures and associated per share data that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These financial measures are computed on a consistent basis for each reporting period and include Adjusted EBITDA, Total Debt to EBITDA, drilling days, operating days, utilization rate - drilling day, utilization rate - operating day, and rate per operating day. These non-gaap measures are identified and defined as follows: Adjusted EBITDA is used by management and investors to analyze EBITDA (as defined above) prior to the effect of foreign exchange, sharebased payment expense, impairment expenses and the sale of assets. Adjusted EBITDA also takes into account the Company s portion of the principal activities of the joint venture arrangement by removing the loss (gain) from investment in joint venture and including EBITDA from investment in joint venture. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent net earnings as calculated in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA provides an indication of the results generated by the Company s principal business activities prior to how these activities are financed, assets are depreciated, amortized and impaired, the impact of foreign exchange, how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions and effects of share-based payment expenses. Total Debt to Bank EBITDA is defined as the consolidated balance of long-term debt, which includes the Senior Debt, Senior Notes Payable and dividends payable at quarter end, to consolidated Bank EBITDA for the TTM. Bank EBITDA used in this financial ratio is calculated as EBITDA plus impairment expense, loss (gain) on sale of property and equipment, loss (gain) from investment in joint venture, share-based payment expense and unrealized foreign exchange. Drilling days is defined as rig days between spud to rig release. Operating days is defined as moving days (move in, rig up and tear out) plus drilling days (spud to rig release). Utilization rate - drilling day is defined as drilling days divided by total available rig days. Utilization rate - operating day is defined as operating days (drilling days plus moving days) divided by total available rig days. Rate per operating day or Dayrate is defined as operating revenue (net of third party costs) divided by operating days (drilling days plus moving days). Payout level is defined as annual dividends declared divided by annual funds provided by operations. Cash-on-cash yield is defined as annual dividends declared per share divided by the current share price. Free Cash Flow is defined as annual funds provided by operations minus the sum of annual dividends declared and annual capital expenditures. IT'S ABOUT PERFORMANCE 31
Add l GAAP Measures Definitions The Company uses certain additional GAAP financial measures within the financial statements and this document that are not defined terms under IFRS to assess performance. Management believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, and provide the reader a more accurate reflection of our industry. These financial measures are computed on a consistent basis for each reporting period and include Funds provided by operations, Operating income and Operating income - net percentage or Operating margin. These additional GAAP measures are identified and defined as follows: Funds provided by operations is used by management and investors to analyze the funds generated by Trinidad s principal business activities prior to consideration of working capital, which is primarily made up of highly liquid balances. This balance is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the cash provided by operating activities section. Operating income is used by management and investors to analyze overall and segmented operating performance. Operating income is not intended to represent an alternative to net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Operating income is calculated from the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and from the segmented information contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Operating income is defined as revenue less operating expenses. Operating income - net percentage or operating margin is used by management and investors to analyze overall and segmented operating performance excluding third party recovery and third party costs, as well as inter-segment revenue and inter-segment operating costs, as these revenues and expenses do not have an effect on consolidated net earnings. Operating income - net percentage is calculated from the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and from the segmented information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Operating income - net percentage is defined as operating income less third party G&A expenses divided by revenue net of operating and G&A third party costs. IT'S ABOUT PERFORMANCE 32
