- Yellow Pages Limited Reports Continued Strong Financial and Operating Results in First Quarter 2020 and Announces a Cash Dividend(1) Payment of $0.11 per Common Share. | YP Corporate Live
Press Releases Back to News Back to News Montreal (Quebec), May 13, 2020 — Yellow Pages Limited (TSX: Y) (the “Company”), a leading Canadian digital media and marketing company, released its operating and financial results today for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy of paying a quarterly cash dividend1 to its common shareholders of $0.11 per share. “We are very pleased with our first quarter results. Our Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin2 continued to be strong, at 35.5%. Supported by appropriate levels of investment in our business, our various initiatives to “bend the revenue curve” produced an improved year-on-year rate of revenue change in our YP segment for the fifth consecutive quarter. And as of quarter-end, we had a cash balance of $70.9 million and had driven down our net debt excluding lease obligations2 to only $28.3 million. “Beginning late in the first quarter, the covid-19 pandemic has created great anxiety across Canada and around the world, and we do expect a financial impact from it in future quarters, as we have experienced some decline in revenue “bookings.” However, we are well-positioned to weather the storm, as we expect more businesses will be looking for ways to successfully serve their local communities and we have been adapting quickly to the situation. “We entered this period of uncertainty with high cash generation, much lowered debt, and a hefty cash balance. And every member of our team, all across the country and in every capacity, has continued working steadily to serve our customers, despite the obvious obstacles. As a result, we are announcing a first quarter regular dividend of $0.11 per common share, to be paid on June 15, 2020, and we are reaffirming our intention to fully repay our remaining debt, our exchangeable debentures, on or shortly after May 31, 2021, at par. Also, we intend to double our current monthly contributions to the company’s Defined Benefit Pension Plan, beginning in June 2020 and extending through next year,” said David A. Eckert, President and CEO of Yellow Pages Limited. Following the Corporation’s annual meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors will formally declare a cash dividend1 of $0.11 per common share, payable on June 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as at May 29, 2020. First Quarter of 2020 Results Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX2 totaled $31.3 million and the EBITDA less CAPEX margin2 was 35.5%. Net earnings remained relatively stable at $12.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share. Cash at the end of the period stood at $70.9 million. (1) A portion of the dividends paid will not be eligible dividends as they come from earnings of acquired companies that were taxed at lower rates. Therefore, $0.07 per share of the current dividend will not be designated as an eligible dividend while the balance of $0.04 per share will be designated as an eligible dividend pursuant to subsection 89(14) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any applicable provincial legislation pertaining to eligible dividends. (2) Adjusted EBITDA is equal to Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, and restructuring and other charges (defined herein as Adjusted EBITDA), as shown in Yellow Pages Limited’s consolidated statements of income. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin and Net debt excluding lease obligations are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, they are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other public companies. Refer to the section on Non-GAAP financial measures on page 4 of this document for more details. Segmented Information The Company’s operations are categorized into two reportable segments: YP and other. The YP segment provides small and medium-sized businesses across Canada digital and traditional marketing solutions, including online and mobile priority placement on Yellow Pages’ owned and operated media, content syndication, search engine solutions, website fulfillment, social media campaign management and digital display advertising, video production and print advertising. This segment also includes the 411.ca digital directory service helping users find and connect with people and local businesses. The Other segment includes YP Dine digital property until its sale on April 30, 2019 and the Mediative division until its liquidation on January 31, 2019. An overview of each segment and the performance of each segment for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 can be found in the May 12, 2020 Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2020 Revenues for the YP segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 totaled $88.3 million compared to $103.7 million for the same period last year. The $15.4 million or 14.8% decrease for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 is mainly due to the decline of our higher margin YP digital media and print products and to a lesser extent to our lower margin digital services products, thereby creating pressure on our gross profit margins. Adjusted EBITDA for the YP segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 totaled $32.6 million compared to $45.1 million for the same period last year. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the YP segment for the first quarter of 2020 decreased to 36.9% compared to 43.5% for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins were mainly due to the revenue pressures, investments in customer care and in new customer acquisition and an increased bad debt provision related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These impacts were only partly offset by reductions in both our cost of sales and other operating costs including reductions in our workforce and associated employee expenses, reductions in the Company’s office space footprint and other spending reductions across the segment. The first quarter of 2019 was also favorably impacted by an adjustment to the variable compensation expense due to employee attrition and previous year performances. Total revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 of $88.3 million decreased by 15.7% as compared to $104.8 million for the same period last year. The decline in total revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was due mainly to lower digital and print revenues in the YP segment. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 28.2% to $32.6 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, relative to $45.4 million for the same period last year. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter of 2020 was 36.9% compared to 43.3% for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was almost entirely due to the YP segment. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX decreased by $11.4 million to $31.3 million during the first quarter of 2020, compared to $42.8 million during the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was mainly due to lower Adjusted EBITDA partially offset by lower capital expenditures due to decreased spending in software development in the YP segment. Net earnings for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, remained relatively stable at $12.4 million as compared to net earnings of $12.7 million for the same period last year, as lower Adjusted EBITDA was essentially offset by lower depreciation and amortization and lower financial charges. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $6.4 million to $27.1 million from $33.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 mainly due to lower Adjusted EBITDA of$12.8 million partially offset by lower payments for restructuring and other charges of $3.8 million and lower interest paid of $0.5 million. Cash flows also benefited by a $1.3 million improvement in the change in operating assets and liabilities. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had $157.7 million of total debt, compared to $156.4 million as at December 31, 2019. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had $28.3 million of net debt excluding lease obligations1, compared to $54.1 million as at December 31, 2019. (1) Net debt excluding lease obligations is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, it is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other public companies. Refer to the section on Non-GAAP financial measures on page 4 of this document for more details including reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS financial measure.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements about the objectives, strategies, financial conditions, including potential full repayment of the Company’s remaining exchangeable debentures on or shortly after May 31, 2021, at par; to its common shareholders, a cash dividend payment of $0.11 per share per quarter; and results of operations and businesses of the Company.

Our actual results could materially differ from our expectations if known or unknown risks affect our business, or if our estimates or assumptions turn out to be inaccurate. As a result, there is no assurance that any forward-looking statements will materialize. Risks that could cause our results to differ materially from our current expectations are discussed in section 5 of our May 12, 2020 Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law, even if new information becomes available, as a result of future events or for any other reason. Contacts: Investors Franco Sciannamblo Senior Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer investors@yp.ca Media John Ireland Senior Vice-President, Organizational Effectiveness communications@yp.ca Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin In order to provide a better understanding of the results, the Company uses the terms Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA is equal to Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, and restructuring and other charges (defined herein as Adjusted EBITDA), as shown in Yellow Pages Limited’s interim condensed consolidated statements of income. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as the percentage of Adjusted EBITDA to revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not performance measures defined under IFRS and are not considered an alternative to income from operations or net earnings in the context of measuring Yellow Pages performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and are therefore not likely to be comparable to similar measures used by other publicly traded companies. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of its business as it reflects its ongoing profitability. Management believes that certain investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to measure a company’s ability to service debt and to meet other payment obligations or as common measurement to value companies in the media and marketing solutions industry as well as to evaluate the performance of a business. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX, which is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, less CAPEX which we define as additions to intangible assets and additions to property and equipment as reported in the Investing Activities section of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin is defined as the percentage of Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX to revenues. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin are non-IFRS financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly traded companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin to evaluate the performance of our business as it reflects cash generated from business activities. We believe that certain investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin to evaluate the performance of businesses in our industry. The most comparable IFRS financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA less Capex is Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, and restructuring and other charges (defined above as Adjusted EBITDA) as shown in Yellow Pages Limited’s interim condensed consolidated statements of income. Refer to page 5 and page 10 of the May 12, 2020 MD&A for a reconciliation of CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX, respectively. Net debt excluding lease obligations Net debt excluding lease obligations is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, it is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly traded companies. Net debt excluding lease obligations is comprised of Exchangeable debentures less Cash as presented in our consolidated statements of financial position. We use net debt as indicator of the Company's ability to cover financial obligations and reduce debt and associated interest charge as it represents the amount of debt excluding lease obligations that is not covered by available cash. We believe that certain investors and analysts use net debt to determine a company’s financial leverage. The most comparable IFRS financial measure is total debt, as presented in the capital disclosures note on page 49 in our Audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended 2019 and 2018. The table below provides a reconciliation of total debt to net debt excluding lease obligations.

- Supporting Small Businesses
Copyright © 2023 Yellow Pages Digital & Media Solutions Limited. All Rights Reserved. Yellow Pages believes in championing local Canadian small business success and growth. We take part in a series of activities that embody our long-term commitment to strong local economies and thriving neighbourhoods. Supporting Small Businesses Support for New Westminster In October 2013, a historic and thriving neighbourhood in New Westminster, B.C. was devastated by a fire that destroyed 23 small businesses and forced an additional 25 businesses to temporarily close. In order to help this community rebuild and get back to the bustling neighbourhood its once was, Yellow Pages collaborated with a local organization, Business to Business Network of Women (B2B NOW), to raise money for the Downtown New Westminster Fire Relief Fund. To support this fund, YP produced 1000 collectable limited edition shopping bags which the passionate group of women entrepreneurs from B2B NOW sold through local businesses in New Westminster. The bags featured a vintage image of the neighbourhood that was hit by the fire, and were sold during British Columbia’s Buy Local Week as well as throughout the month of December. Through the sale of the shopping bags as well as other donations the campaign raised a total of $6023.24 for the fire relief fund. In the end, an entire community came together to support the small businesses that are at the heart of their neighbourhood. Taste Your Neighbourhood At Yellow Pages, our mission has always been the same: to promote the success and growth of small businesses by helping them reach more customers. With this in mind, we created Taste Your Neighbourhood in Montreal in 2013 and offered guided walking tours that allowed residents to explore the local food businesses that form the heart of our communities. Building on the success of the inaugural event in Montreal, the 2014 edition featured a Taste Your Neighbourhood event in Toronto. Each city will host 15 guided tours during which participants will be led through select neighbourhoods by knowledgeable guides to discover culinary gems. Promenade Wellington’s Sugar Shack “Érablière Panache et bois rond” Yellow Pages supports local promotion and development projects, which led to our partnership with the Société de développement commercial (SDC) Promenade Wellington, a dynamic group of merchants at the very heart of our borough. In line with our commitment to contribute to our local economies, we supported the SDC Promenade Wellington as the official presenter of their biggest annual event; Érablière Panache et bois rond. The event is a fun urban sugar shack, which hosts dozens of local restaurateurs, producers and artisans who offered their own interpretation of a typical gourmet sugar shack menu. Yellow Pages was there to capture the weekend’s playful moments with its photo booth, and offered event goers a photo opportunity with costumes, accessories and decors which captured their lumberjack spirit. The event was held over 2 days and welcomed 20,000 visitors, who got their photo taken, gave in to their sweet tooth and indulged in the weekend’s festivities. Support for Southern Alberta and Lac-Mégantic In line with our ongoing commitment as a company is to support the growth and prosperity of Canada’s small businesses and subsequently, contribute to healthy, thriving neighbourhoods, we contributed to the relief efforts following the flooding that took place this summer in Southern Alberta and the tragic events of Lac-Mégantic in Québec. In support of relief efforts in Southern Alberta, we immediately donated $25,000 to the Canadian Red Cross and an additional $25,000 following the Lac-Mégantic events. We also refunded all pre-issued invoices for the month of July and cancelled all remaining invoices through to the end of 2013 for all clients in High River and Lac Mégantic directly affected by either tragedy but we’ll be maintaining their existing marketing campaigns and services for free until the end of the year. Support for Fort McMurray On May 3rd, massive wildfires triggered the largest fire-related evacuation in Alberta history with tens of thousands of people forced to leave their homes in more than 12 communities, including Fort McMurray. Yellow Pages is supporting its fellow Canadians and colleagues in the Fort McMurray region, by donating $25,000 to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Fires Appeal Fund. We’ve also set up an online portal for our 3,000 employees across Canada to be able to make their personal contributions The catastrophic wildfire has destroyed over 1,600 homes and buildings in Fort McMurray and has now destroyed more than 10,000 hectares. If you wish to show your support by making a donation, you can do so via the Canadian Red Cross, simply by clicking on the link and selecting the make a personal donation option.

- Yellow Pages Limited Reports Solid Financial and Operating Results in Third Quarter 2020 and Declares a Cash Dividend | YP Corporate Live
Press Releases Back to News Back to News Montreal (Quebec), November 12, 2020 — Yellow Pages Limited (TSX: Y) (the “Company”), a leading Canadian digital media and marketing company, released its operating and financial results today for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020. “We are very pleased with our third quarter results and how our Company continues to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic and build for the future,” said David A. Eckert, President and CEO of Yellow Pages Limited. Eckert commented on the key developments for the quarter: Cash continued to build. “As of today, our cash on hand is approximately $137 million. This balance already significantly exceeds the $107 million principal amount of our Exchangeable Debentures, which are our only remaining debt, excluding lease obligations. As previously announced, we intend to fully pay off those Exchangeable Debentures, at par, on or around May 31, 2021.” Quarterly cash dividend2 declared. “Our Board has declared a cash dividend of $0.11 per common share, to be paid on December 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of November 27, 2020.” Common stock NCIB effective. “Under our NCIB program, at the end of the third quarter the Company had purchased 99,280 common shares for cash of $1.1 million. That program is continuing.” Modest effect of COVID-19 crisis on revenue. “All of our operations have continued unabated since the COVID-19 crisis began. And the effect of the crisis on our revenues in the third quarter was again only a handful of percentage points. Bookings trends indicate only modest additional effects on our revenue curve over the next couple of quarters, as the sales levels already booked become reported revenue.” Progress on revenue initiatives. “We are on track to double our tele-sales capacity by the end of the year, aimed at significantly ramping up our acquisition of new accounts. And we are executing on our programs to add to our strong product portfolio.” Solid quarterly earnings. “Our Adjusted EBITDA1 for the quarter was a healthy 34% of revenue, despite the COVID-19 crisis, our investments in revenue initiatives, and some 1-time expenses. We are committed to generating good cash and profitability, while making the targeted investments necessary to bend our revenue curve toward stability.” (1) Adjusted EBITDA is equal to Income from operations before depreciation and amortization and restructuring and other charges (defined herein as Adjusted EBITDA), as shown in Yellow Pages Limited’s consolidated statements of income. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin and Net debt excluding lease obligations are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, they are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other public companies. Refer to the section on Non-GAAP financial measures on page 4 of this document for more details. (2) The dividend will be designated as an eligible dividend pursuant to subsection 89(14) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any applicable provincial legislation pertaining to eligible dividends. Third Quarter of 2020 Results Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX1 totaled $26.0 million and the EBITDA less CAPEX margin1 was 32.4%. Net earnings decreased by $4.8 million to $9.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. Cash position at the end of the period was $124.5 million and approximately $137.0 million as at November 11, 2020. Segmented Information The Company’s operations are categorized into two reportable segments: YP and other. The YP segment provides small and medium-sized businesses across Canada digital and traditional marketing solutions, including online and mobile priority placement on Yellow Pages’ owned and operated media, content syndication, search engine solutions, website fulfillment, social media campaign management and digital display advertising, video production and print advertising. This segment also includes the 411.ca digital directory service helping users find and connect with people and local businesses. The Other segment includes YP Dine digital property until its sale on April 30, 2019 and the Mediative division until its liquidation on January 31, 2019 An overview of each segment and the performance of each segment for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 can be found in the November 12, 2020 Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2020 Revenues for the YP segment for the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $17.8 million or 18.2% year-over year and amounted to $80.3 million compared to $98.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 is due to the decline of our higher margin YP digital media and print products and to a lesser extent to our lower margin digital services products, thereby creating pressure on our gross profit margins. Revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were also impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic which impacted customer spend and to a lesser extent customer renewal rates. Adjusted EBITDA for the YP segment for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 totaled $27.3 million or 34.0% of revenues compared to $37.8 million or 38.5% of revenues for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 is the result of the revenue pressures in the YP segment as well as certain one-time items partially offset by efficiencies in sales and operations from optimization and reductions in other operating costs including reductions in our workforce and associated employee expenses, reduction in the Company’s office space footprint and other spending reductions across the segment. The one-time items include a $4.0 million increase for the expense related to the vesting of the CEO’s long term incentive plan (LTIP) upon completion of his first contract term in the third quarter of 2020, resulting from the increase in the Company’s share price, partially offset by a $1.2 million emergency wage subsidy received during thethree-month period ended September 30, 2020. Continued modest effects on revenue of the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with increased headcount in our salesforce, will create some pressure on margin in upcoming quarters. Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 decreased by 18.2% year-over-year and amounted to $80.3 million as compared to $98.1 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased by 27.7% to $27.3 million or 34.0% of revenues in the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, relative to $37.8 million or 38.5% of revenues for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX decreased by $9.4 million to $26.0 million during the third quarter of 2020, compared to $35.4 million during the same period last year. Net earnings for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, amounted to $9.0 million as compared to net earnings of $13.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease in profitability of $4.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period last year, is explained principally by lower Adjusted EBITDA and an increase in restructuring and other charges partially offset by decreases in financial charges and depreciation and amortization expenses. 1) Adjusted EBITDA is equal to Income from operations before depreciation and amortization and restructuring and other charges (defined herein as Adjusted EBITDA), as shown in Yellow Pages Limited’s consolidated statements of income. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin and Net debt excluding lease obligations are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, they are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other public companies. Refer to the section on Non-GAAP financial measures on page 4 of this document for more details. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $17.9 million to $32.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $50.6 million for the same period last year, mainly due to lower Adjusted EBITDA1 of $10.5 and a reduction of $6.3 million from the change in operating assets and liabilities, as 2019 benefited by the collection of Juice and Mediative accounts receivable. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had $153.9 million of total debt, compared to $156.4 million as at December 31, 2019. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had ($24.0) million net debt excluding lease obligations1, compared to $54.1 million net debt excluding lease obligations as at December 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin and Net debt excluding lease obligations are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, they are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other public companies. Refer to the section on Non-GAAP financial measures on page 4 of this document for more details. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin In order to provide a better understanding of the results, the Company uses the terms Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA is equal to Income from operations before depreciation and amortization and restructuring and other charges (defined herein as Adjusted EBITDA), as shown in Yellow Pages Limited’s interim condensed consolidated statements of income. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as the percentage of Adjusted EBITDA to revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not performance measures defined under IFRS and are not considered an alternative to income from operations or net earnings in the context of measuring Yellow Pages performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and are therefore not likely to be comparable to similar measures used by other publicly traded companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be used as exclusive measures of cash flow since they do not account for the impact of working capital changes, income taxes, interest payments, pension funding, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, debt principal reductions and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed on page 17 of this MD&A. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of its business as it reflects its ongoing profitability. Management believes that certain investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to measure a company’s ability to service debt and to meet other payment obligations or as common measurement to value companies in the media and marketing solutions industry as well as to evaluate the performance of a business. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX, which is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, less CAPEX which we define as additions to intangible assets and additions to property and equipment as reported in the Investing Activities section of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin is defined as the percentage of Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX to revenues. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin are non-IFRS financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly traded companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin to evaluate the performance of our business as it reflects cash generated from business activities. We believe that certain investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin to evaluate the performance of businesses in our industry. The most comparable IFRS financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA less Capex is Income from operations before depreciation and amortization and restructuring and other charges (defined above as Adjusted EBITDA) as shown in Yellow Pages Limited’s interim condensed consolidated statements of income. Refer to page 5 and page 11 of the November 11, 2020 MD&A for a reconciliation of CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX, respectively. Net debt excluding lease obligations Net debt excluding lease obligations is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, it is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly traded companies. Net debt excluding lease obligations is comprised of Exchangeable debentures less Cash as presented in our consolidated statements of financial position. We use net debt as indicator of the Company's ability to cover financial obligations and reduce debt and associated interest charge as it represents the amount of debt excluding lease obligations that is not covered by available cash. We believe that certain investors and analysts use net debt to determine a company’s financial leverage. The most comparable IFRS financial measure is total debt, as presented in the capital disclosures note on page 49 of our Audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended 2019 and 2018. The table below provides a reconciliation of total debt to net debt excluding lease obligations.

And while we remain attentive to continued pressures in the global and Canadian economy, we are pleased with our compa Increase in quarterly cash dividend. “Our board has modified the dividend policy of paying a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders by increasing the dividend from $0.15 per share to $0.20 per share.” Quarterly dividend declared. “Our Board has declared a dividend of $0.20 per common share, to be paid on June 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of May 25, 2023.” Financial Highlights (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except percentage information and per share information) (1) The dividend will be designated as an eligible dividend pursuant to subsection 89(14) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any applicable provincial legislation pertaining to eligible dividends. (2) Adjusted EBITDA is equal to Income from operations before depreciation and amortization and restructuring and other charges (defined herein as Adjusted EBITDA), as shown in Yellow Pages Limited’s interim condensed consolidated statements of income. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, they are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other public companies. Refer to the section on Non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this document for more details. First Quarter of 2023 Results • Total revenues decreased 7.5% year-over-year and amounted to $62.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, an improvement from the decrease of 7.8% reported for the same period last year. • Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX1 totalled $19.8 million and the EBITDA less CAPEX margin1 was 31.6%. • Net income decreased to $12.4 million, or to $0.68 per diluted share. Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2023 Total revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 decreased by 7.5% to $62.7 million, as compared to $67.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease in revenues is mainly due to the decline of our higher margin digital media and print products and to a lesser extent to our lower margin digital services products, thereby creating pressure on our gross profit margins. The decline rates for total revenues and digital revenues improved year-over-year. Total revenue decline of 7.5% this quarter compares to a decline of 7.8% reported for the same period last year. Digital revenue decline of 5.7% this quarter compares to a decline of 7.7% reported for the same period last year. The improvements in total and digital revenues were due to increased average spend per customer in digital, increased renewal rates as well as continued improvements in customer claim rates. Print revenue decline of 13.7% this quarter compares to a decline of 7.9% reported for the same period last year. The higher decline rate for print revenue is attributable to the decrease in average spend per customer, partially offset by improvements in customer claim rates. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased by $4.7 million or 18.3% to $20.8 million, compared to $25.4 million for the same period last year. The adjusted EBITDA margin1 decreased for the first quarter of 2023 to 33.1%, compared to 37.5% for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 is the result of revenue pressures as well as ongoing investments in our tele-sales force capacity, partially offset by reductions in other operating costs including reductions in our workforce and associated employee expenses, and lower variable compensation expense. Revenue pressures, coupled with increased headcount in our salesforce partially offset by continued optimization, will continue to cause some pressure on margins in upcoming quarters. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX decreased by $4.1 million or 17.1% to $19.8 million, compared to $23.9 million for the same period last year. The adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin decreased during the period ended March 31, 2023 to 31.6% compared to 35.3% for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin is driven by the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by the decrease in CAPEX spend, since 2022 CAPEX spend was impacted by the integration of new products. Net income decreased to $12.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 compared to net income of $14.6 million for the same period last year due to lower Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization, restructuring and other charges, financial charges and lower income taxes. Cash flows from operating activities increased by $5.4 million to $9.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The increase is mainly due to the decrease in stock-based compensation cash settlements of $3.0 million, lower income taxes paid of $5.9 million, and lower restructuring and other charges paid of $1.7 million, offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million. The first quarter of 2022 benefited from the cancellation of the forward contracts resulting in a decrease in other receivables of $3.1 million. As at March 31, 2023, the Company had $49.7 million of cash. 1) Adjusted EBITDA is equal to Income from operations before depreciation and amortization and restructuring and other charges (defined herein as Adjusted EBITDA), as shown in Yellow Pages Limited’s interim condensed consolidated statements of income. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS.
