Note: IOU uses adjusted net earnings as a measure of financial performance. Beginning in Q1 19, the calculation of adjusted net earnings was revised and is defined as net earnings for the
period less gain on sale of loans, plus: amortization of servicing assets, stock-based compensation and non-recurring costs. Prior to Q1 19, the calculation of adjusted net earnings (net loss)
was defined as net earnings (net loss) for the period less: gain on sale of loans and income tax recovery, plus: amortization of servicing assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of
transactions costs-credit facility, depreciation & amortization, income tax expense and non-recurring costs. As a result, the prior comparative periods have been calculated to reflect the
revised definition.
