Cautionary Statement Regarding Use of Non-IFRS Measures
This news release contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations (FFO), Adjusted Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit, which are not generally accepted accounting measures under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations, Adjusted Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit used by other entities.
