Represents a non-IFRS measure. This measure is not a recognized measure under IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. For the relevant definition, see the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section of this press release. Management believes non-IFRS measures, including Organic Revenue Growth Rate, provide supplementary information to IFRS measures used in assessing the performance of the business by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective.

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to Organic Revenue Growth Rate, which is a non-IFRS measure. This is not a recognized measure under IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Rather, this measure is provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective and to discuss Dye & Durham’s financial outlook. The Company’s definitions of non-IFRS measures may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of Dye & Durham’s financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS measures, including “Organic Revenue Growth Rate” (as defined below), to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. The Company’s management also uses non-IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issues.
Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS Measures” and “Select Information and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” in the Company’s most recent Management’s Discussion and Analysis, which is available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, for further details on certain non-IFRS measures.
Organic Revenue Growth Rate
“Organic Revenue Growth Rate” means total revenue in the current quarter period (excluding the pre-acquisition quarterly revenue of those acquisitions executed in the last twelve month period and discontinued businesses) (“Organic Revenue“) divided by the total revenue in the prior quarter period (excluding TM Group, pre-acquisition quarterly revenue and discontinued businesses). Organic Revenue, which is a non-IFRS measure, is used as a component in Organic Revenue Growth Rate. Below is a reconciliation of the Company’s Q2 FY2025 Organic Growth Rate.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Greenbrier Companies
In the current market session, Greenbrier Companies Inc. GBX stock price is at $68.10, after a 0.09% decrease. However, over the past month, the company’s stock increased by 14.90%, and in the past year, by 74.17%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.
Evaluating Greenbrier Companies P/E in Comparison to Its Peers
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company’s EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company’s current performance against it’s past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future.
Greenbrier Companies has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 15.97 of the Machinery industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it’s also probable that the stock is undervalued.
In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company’s market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company’s financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Financial Review: Quarter Ended September 30
Revenues
Revenues were $28.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, up 24.3% from $22.9 million in 2023. Growth was driven by heightened volumes, stronger sales of higher margin offerings and favourable movements in foreign exchange.
For the first nine months of 2024, revenues increased 19.9% to $84.7 million, driven by the same factors outlined for the quarter.
Gross Profit
Gross profit came in at $4.6 million (16.2% of sales) for the current quarter, up significantly from $2.1 million (9.1% of sales) in 2023. For 2024 year-to-date, the gross profit was $14.9 million (17.6% of sales), versus $8.6 million (12.2% of sales) in 2023.
Despite a competitive pricing environment, the Corporation’s performance in 2024 has been bolstered by higher sales volumes, product mix, operational efficiencies, and ongoing cost controls.
Operating Expenses
Selling and Administrative expenses were $2.6 million (9.2% of sales) in the current quarter, versus $2.1 million (9.1% of sales) in 2023. The year-over-year increase was largely due to increased administrative expenses, including higher provisions for the Corporation’s profit participation plan resulting from the heightened profitability. For 2024 year-to-date, expenses totalled $7.0 million (8.3% of sales), compared to $6.4 million (9.0% of sales) in 2023. The selling expense ratio for both the current quarter and year-to-date benefited from the higher sales base in 2024.
Imaflex recorded other losses of $0.3 million for the current quarter, versus gains of $0.4 million in the same period last year, resulting in a $0.7 million unfavourable year-over-year variance. For 2024 year-to-date, the Company recorded gains of $0.5 million versus losses of $31 thousand in 2023, yielding a $0.5 million favourable variance. Other gains and losses were primarily driven by foreign exchange movements.
A majority of the Corporation’s foreign exchange gains and losses are non-cash impacting and largely relate to intercompany balances for which Imaflex can control the time of settlement.
Net Income and EBITDA
Net income grew to $1.5 million in the current quarter, increasing $1.3 million or 847.1%, over 2023. For the year-to-date, net income grew to $6.8 million, up 345.3% from $1.5 million in 2023. The heightened profitability in 2024 was driven by the higher gross profit.
EBITDA was $3.0 million (10.5% of sales) for the current quarter, up 104.7% from $1.5 million (6.4% of sales) in 2023. On a constant currency basis, EBITDA came in at $3.3 million (11.7% of sales), up 196.5% over the
$1.1 million (4.9% of sales) achieved in the third quarter of 2023.
For 2024 year-to-date, EBITDA stood at $12.2 million (14.5% of sales), up 128.6% from $5.4 million (7.6% of sales) in the corresponding prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, EBITDA grew 114.8% over 2023, coming in at $11.8 million (13.9% of sales), compared to $5.5 million (7.8% of sales) in 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash flows generated by operating activities, including movements in working capital and taxes, stood at $5.0 million for the current quarter, up from cash inflows of $0.7 million in the same period of 2023. The $4.3 million improvement was driven by the higher profit in 2024, along with movements in trade & other payables, foreign exchange, and income taxes, partially offset by movements in trade & other receivables and inventories.
For the first nine months of 2024, cash flows generated by operating activities, including movements in working capital and income taxes, stood at $9.1 million, up from $2.3 million in the prior year. The $6.8 million increase was primarily driven by the higher profit in 2024, along with movements in income taxes.
As at September 30, 2024 Imaflex continued to maintain a strong financial position with $15.7 million in available liquidity, including $3.7 million of cash (up from $0.7 million at the end of Q2 2024) and a fully undrawn $12.0 million revolving line of credit.
Working capital stood at $21.9 million at quarter end, up from $14.0 million as of December 31, 2023. The improvement was driven by heightened cash levels, higher trade and other receivables, along with a reduction in bank indebtedness and long-term debt, partially offset by higher finance lease obligations.
Equipment Purchase Program – Update
In 2022, Imaflex announced the signing of equipment purchase agreements for three multi-layer extruders and a metallizer. The metallizer and one extruder were fully commissioned in 2023, while the remaining two extruders are now operational and being commissioned. These purchases strengthen Imaflex’s capacity to explore new market opportunities and meet future demand.
ADVASEAL® Update
Imaflex remains focused on securing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) approval of ADVASEAL®. As is typical with the EPA’s review process, no decision timeline was provided, although it is taking much longer than the Corporation originally expected.
Outlook
“As I step into the President and CEO position, I have made it a priority to meet with employees across the business and engage with some key customers and shareholders,” said Mr. Yazedjian. “These conversations have provided valuable insights, and I am inspired by the strength of our team and the strategic possibilities ahead. The positive momentum we have seen for the first nine months of 2024 is a testament to our capabilities.
While we are mindful of evolving market conditions, we remain confident in our ability to leverage our strong foundation to achieve sustained growth. Moving forward, we will focus on strengthening our core business, while driving innovation and expansion in key areas.”
Caution Regarding Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company’s management uses non-IFRS measures in this press release, namely EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization), EBITDA excluding foreign exchange and Free Cash Flow.
While EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not standard International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) measures, management, analysts, investors and others use them as an indicator of the Company’s financial and operating management and performance. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company’s performance. The Company’s method of calculating EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be different from those used by other companies and accordingly they should not be considered in isolation.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release includes forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “is expected”, “expects”, “scheduled”, “intends”, “contemplates”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “proposes” or variations (including negative and grammatical variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements in this news release include statements regarding Source Rock’s dividend strategy and the amount and timing of future dividends (and the sustainability thereof), the potential for future drilling on Source Rock’s royalty lands, expectations regarding commodity prices, Source Rock’s growth strategy and expectations with respect to future royalty acquisition and partnership opportunities, and the ability to complete such acquisitions and establish such partnerships. Such statements and information are based on the current expectations of Source Rock’s management and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Although Source Rock’s management believes that the assumptions underlying these statements and information are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect. The forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this news release may not occur by certain dates or at all and could differ materially as a result of known and unknown risk factors and uncertainties affecting Source Rock. Although Source Rock has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. No forward-looking statement or information can be guaranteed. Except as required by applicable securities laws, forward-looking statements and information speak only as of the date on which they are made and Source Rock undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Ratios
This news release uses the terms “funds from operations” and “Adjusted EBITDA” which are non-GAAP financial measures and the terms “payout ratio”, “operating netback” and “corporate netback” which are non-GAAP ratios. These financial measures and ratios do not have a standardized prescribed meaning under GAAP and these measures and ratios may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures disclosed by other entities.
“Adjusted EBITDA” (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is used by management to analyze the Corporation’s profitability based on the Corporation’s principal business activities prior to how these activities are financed, how assets are depreciated, amortized and impaired, and how the results are taxed. Additionally, amounts are removed relating to share-based compensation expense, the sale of assets, fair value adjustments on financial assets and liabilities, other non-cash items and certain non-standard expenses, as the Corporation does not deem these to relate to the performance of its principal business. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent net profit (or loss) as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to funds from operations is cash flow from operating activities. “Funds from operations” is defined as cash flow from operating activities before the change in non-cash working capital. Source Rock believes the timing of collection, payment or incurrence of these non-cash items involves a high degree of discretion and as such may not be useful for evaluating Source Rock’s operating performance. Source Rock considers funds from operations to be a key measure of operating performance as it demonstrates Source Rock’s ability to generate funds to fund operations, acquisition opportunities, dividend payments and debt repayments, if applicable. Funds from operations should not be construed as an alternative to income or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as an indication of Source Rock’s performance.
“Corporate netback” is calculated as funds from operations divided by cumulative production volumes for the period. Corporate netback is used by Source Rock to better analyze the financial performance of its royalties against prior periods and to assess the cost efficiency of its overall corporate platform as it relates to production volumes. There is no standardized meaning for “corporate netback” and this metric as used by Source Rock may not be comparable with the calculation of similar metrics disclosed by other entities, and therefore should not be used to make comparisons.
“Operating netback” represents the cash margin for products sold. Operating netback is calculated as revenue minus cash administrative expenses divided by cumulative production volumes for the period. Operating netback is used by Source Rock to assess the cash generating and operating performance of its royalties against prior periods and to assess the costs efficiency of its operating platform as it relates to production volumes. There is no standardized meaning for “operating netback” and this metric as used by Source Rock may not be comparable with the calculation of similar metrics disclosed by other entities, and therefore should not be used to make comparisons.
“Payout ratio” is calculated as the aggregate of cash dividends declared in a period divided by funds from operations realized in such period. Source Rock considers payout ratio to be a key measure to assess Source Rock’s ability to fund operations, acquisition opportunities, dividend payments, cash taxes and debt repayments, if applicable.

Information technology comprises nearly 50% of holdings, led by industry giants like Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft. These companies’ sustained innovation and market leadership provide a strong foundation for continued growth.
Despite its growth tilt, the fund maintains high standards. The portfolio’s holdings have a 39.7% return on equity and 25.2% earnings growth rate. This combination of profitability and expansion potential helps justify the portfolio’s higher price-to-earnings ratio of 35 compared to the S&P 500’s 26.9 multiple.
Warren Buffett recommends a simpler approach: investing 90% of retirement savings in a low-cost S&P 500 fund like the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO). This strategy offers broader market exposure with an even lower 0.03% expense ratio.
Although the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF provides excellent diversification across 504 stocks, its blend of growth and value companies has historically produced lower returns than the growth-focused fund during strong market cycles. The trade-off comes in reduced volatility and deeper sector diversification.
Investment fees matter because they directly reduce your returns. The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF charges an annual expense ratio of 0.10%, meaning you’ll pay $10 in fees per year on a $10,000 investment. In comparison, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF charges just 0.03%, or $3 annually on the same investment.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to a similar measure disclosed by other issuers. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense, income tax expense, impairment charges and other expenses. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure as it provides important and relevant information to management about the operating and financial performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is provided as a proxy for the cash earnings (loss) from the operations of the business as operating income (loss) for the Company includes non-cash amortization and depreciation expense and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA also enables management to assess its ability to generate operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs, and to support future growth. Excluding these items does not imply that they are non-recurring or not useful to investors. Investors should be cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA attributable to shareholders should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flows as determined under IFRS. |

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Percentage are non-IFRS measures that do not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable to a similar measure disclosed by other issuers.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Percentage should not be construed as an alternative for revenue or net loss in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes that gross profit and gross profit percentage are meaningful metrics in assessing the Company’s financial performance and operational efficiency. |
