Non-IFRS financial measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to our results determined in accordance with IFRS, we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-IFRS measures, because we believe they are useful in evaluating our operating performance.

EBITDA as represents net profit (loss) for the period before the impact of taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization of intangible assets, and Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, further adjusted for transaction expenses that are directly attributable to the business combination with Thunder Bridge IV. (denoted as “Reverse recapitalization”), as well as Nasdaq listing expenses.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes and we believe that EBITDA may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial information presented in accordance with IFRS.

A reconciliation is provided below for each non-IFRS financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Please see tables below for reconciliations of our non-IFRS financial measures.
