This earnings release also includes first quarter 2020 guidance for non-IFRS operating expenses. The presentation of non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. This earnings release includes EBITDA, EBITDA margin and non-IFRS operating expenses which consist of total operating expenses as adjusted to exclude the effect of employee bonus accrual, government funding, impairment loss of tangible and intangible assets, gain or loss on the disposal of machinery and equipment and gain from the disposal of living quarters. These non-IFRS financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with, and are not alternatives or substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, and should be read only in conjunction with the Group's financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

A reconciliation of non-IFRS guidance measures to corresponding IFRS measures is not available on a forward-looking basis because the effect of these adjustment items excluded for the purpose of non-IFRS operating expenses guidance are subject to some unpredictable conditions that cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty.
