1. As at December 31, 2022. 2. Based on the average of total debt outstanding at each quarter end during the period, and the Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022 (see Section 10, Liquidity and Capital Resources, and the MD&A dated December 31, 2022). 3. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and FFO Payout Ratio is a non-GAAP ratio, each as defined in National Instrument 52-112 - Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (“NI 52-112”). These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under generally accepted accounting principals (“GAAP”) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). FFO Payout Ratio is calculated by dividing Primaris' distribution per unit by Funds From Operations (“FFO”) per unit. Management believes these are useful measures of Primaris’ performance period over period and ability to meet its financial obligations. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate entities. Additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures can be found in the MD&A dated December 31, 2022, which information is incorporated by reference here.
