DISCLAIMER

CAUTION REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Corporation uses two adjusted financial measures, Adjusted Segment Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted

Segment EBITDA) and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) to assess its operating performance.

These non-IFRS financial measures are directly derived from the Corporation’s financial statements and are presented in a consistent manner. The

Corporation uses these measures for the purposes of evaluating its historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to

competitors. These measures also help the Corporation to plan and forecast for future periods as well as to make operational and strategic decisions. The

Corporation believes that providing this information to investors, in addition to IFRS measures, allows them to see the Corporation’s results through the

eyes of management, and to better understand its historical and future financial performance.

Securities regulations require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have

standardized meanings and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in

isolation. The Corporation uses Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure its performance from one period to the next without the

variation caused by certain adjustments that could potentially distort the analysis of trends in our operating performance, and because the Corporation

believes it provides meaningful information on the Corporation’s financial condition and operating results. Neptune’s method for calculating Adjusted

Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that used by other corporations.

Neptune obtains its Adjusted Segment EBITDA measurement by adding depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation to segment income

(loss) from operating activities before corporate expenses. Neptune obtains its Adjusted EBITDA measurement by adding to net income (loss), net finance

costs and depreciation and amortization and by subtracting income tax recovery. Other items such as stock-based compensation, litigation provisions,

acquisition costs and severance and related costs that do not impact core operating performance of the Corporation are also added back as they may vary

significantly from one period to another. Adjusting for these items does not imply they are non-recurring.
