FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements made in this presentation may constitute forward-looking information under applicable securities laws. These statements may relate to our future financial outlook, our preliminary Q4 2021 operational results along with anticipated events or results and include the reaffirmation
of our short-term operating and financial targets. Such statements are based on management’s reasonable assumptions and beliefs in light of the information currently available to us and is made as of the date of this presentation. However, we do not undertake to update any such forward-looking
information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities laws in Canada. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information as a result of various factors,
including those described in “Risk Factors”. Additional risks and uncertainties are discussed in the Company’s materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to time, including the Company’s final initial public offering prospectus dated October 13, 2021 (the
“Prospectus”). These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect us; however, these factors should be considered carefully. A copy of the Prospectus and the Company’s other publicly filed documents can be accessed under the Company’s profile on the
System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) at www.sedar.com. Often but not always, the words “anticipate”, “believes”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “opportunity”, “potential”, “seek”, “strategy”, or “target” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain
future conditions, actions, events or results “will”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “can”, or negative versions thereof, “be taken”, “occur”, “continue” or “be achieved”, and other similar expressions, including references to assumptions, identify forward-looking information. Implicit in
forward-looking statements in respect of the Company's expectations for: (i) Ending Combined Loan and Advance Balances CAGR; (ii) Revenue Yield; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; and (iv) Net Income Margin for the 12 to 18 month period following the date of the prospectus, are certain
assumptions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and related government subsidies, the regulatory landscape, our continued expansion of our Bank Partner relationships, the availability and cost of debt capital, the maintenance and expansion of our marketing partnerships and the overall
macroeconomic environment, each as further set out in the Prospectus. The Company cautions that the list of risk factors and uncertainties described in the Prospectus is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect its results. Readers are urged to consider the risks, uncertainties
and assumptions carefully in evaluating the forward-looking information and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information. The forward-looking information contained in this presentation represents our expectations as of the date of this presentation (or as the date they are
otherwise stated to be made), and are subject to change after such date. However, we disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable
securities laws.
PRESENTATION OF PRELIMINARY Q4 2021 OPERATIONAL RESULTS
The preliminary, unaudited operational results as at and for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 included in this presentation are based on information available to the Company as of the date of this presentation. Final reported results could differ from these preliminary results following the
completion of year-end accounting procedures, final adjustments and other developments arising between now and the time that the Company's financial results are finalized, and such changes could be material. The Company's independent auditor has not audited, reviewed or performed any
procedures with respect to the preliminary results included in this presentation, and accordingly does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. In addition, these preliminary results are not a comprehensive statement of the Company's financial results for the
quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. They should not be viewed as a substitute for audited financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and are not necessarily indicative of the Company's results for any future period.
NON-IFRS MEASURES AND INDUSTRY METRICS
This presentation makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures and industry metrics. These measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning
prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from
management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Combined Loan and Advance Balances”, “Net
Charge-Offs”. This presentation also makes reference to “Annualized Revenue Yield” and “Total Originations Funded”, which are operating metrics used in our industry. These non-IFRS measures and industry metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating
performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures and industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers.
Our management also uses non-IFRS measures and industry metrics in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. Please refer to Appendix B of this
presentation for the reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, Net Charge-Offs and Combined Loan and Advance Balances presented by the Company to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. For definitions of these non-IFRS measures and industry metrics, please refer to the
Company’s most recent MD&A available on www.sedar.com. For reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures, please see Appendix “B” to this presentation.
