Communiqués de presse Back to News Retour aux nouvelles Print Retour aux nouvelles Print Montréal (Québec), le 7 août 2024 – Pages Jaunes Limitée (TSX : Y) (la « Société »), un chef de file en matière de médias numériques et de solutions marketing au Canada, a publié aujourd’hui ses résultats financiers et d’exploitation pour le trimestre et le semestre clos le 30 juin 2024. « Nous sommes satisfaits de nos résultats du deuxième trimestre, qui reflètent notre progression continue vers l’atteinte de la stabilité des produits, une rentabilité satisfaisante et un solde de trésorerie robuste, et ce, malgré la persistance des vents contraires dans l’économie mondiale et, particulièrement, dans le secteur des petites entreprises canadiennes », a déclaré M. David A. Eckert, président et chef de la direction de Pages Jaunes Limitée. M. Eckert a commenté les principaux faits nouveaux : Progression continue vers l’atteinte de la stabilité des produits. « Bien que nous continuions de faire face aux défis posés par la conjoncture économique actuelle au Canada, nous présentons, pour un deuxième trimestre consécutif, une accentuation favorable de la courbe des produits au deuxième trimestre, car notre taux de variation des produits a été meilleur que celui enregistré au trimestre précédent. » Progrès en ce qui a trait aux initiatives à l’égard des produits. « Nous sommes satisfaits des progrès réalisés sur les mesures qui sous-tendent la génération de produits, notamment la taille de notre effectif de vente et notre taux d’acquisition de nouveaux comptes, tout en maintenant un taux de roulement de la clientèle soutenu. Nous sommes particulièrement satisfaits de notre taux d’acquisition de nouveaux comptes, qui a affiché une hausse de 17 % par rapport au dernier trimestre. Nous sommes d’avis que ces éléments fondamentaux sont de bon augure pour notre avenir à moyen et à long terme. » Bénéfice trimestriel solide. « Notre BAIIA ajusté2 pour le trimestre s’est chiffré à 26,5 % des produits, même en tenant compte de nos investissements continus dans des initiatives à l’égard des produits, y compris l’augmentation constante continue de notre effectif de vente. » Solde de trésorerie robuste. « La trésorerie que nous avons générée de façon constante nous a permis de faire croître nos fonds en caisse, qui s’élevaient à environ 34 M$ à la fin du mois de juillet. » Capitalisation du régime de retraite sur la bonne voie. « Conformément à notre plan de réduction du déficit annoncé en mai 2021, pour le deuxième trimestre de 2024, nous avons effectué des paiements facultatifs supplémentaires à l’égard du déficit de liquidation de notre régime de retraite à prestations définies de 1,5 M$. » Dividende trimestriel déclaré. « Notre conseil a déclaré un dividende de 0,25 $ par action ordinaire, devant être versé le 16 septembre 2024 aux actionnaires inscrits le 26 août 2024. » Faits saillants financiers (en milliers de dollars canadiens, sauf les pourcentages et les montants par action) 1. Le dividende sera désigné comme dividende déterminé en vertu du paragraphe 89(14) de la Loi de l’impôt sur le revenu (Canada) et de toute loi provinciale applicable se rapportant aux dividendes déterminés. 2. Le BAIIA ajusté correspond au bénéfice d’exploitation avant amortissements et frais de restructuration et autres charges (défini aux présentes comme le « BAIIA ajusté »), tel qu’il est présenté dans les états consolidés intermédiaires résumés du résultat net de Pages Jaunes Limitée. Le BAIIA ajusté, la marge sur BAIIA ajusté, les dépenses d’investissement, le BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement et la marge sur BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement sont des mesures financières non conformes aux PCGR et n’ont pas de signification normalisée selon les normes IFRS. Il est donc peu probable qu’ils soient comparables à des mesures semblables employées par d’autres sociétés ouvertes. Pour en savoir davantage, se reporter à la section Mesures financières non conformes aux PCGR, à la fin du présent document. Résultats du deuxième trimestre de 2024 • Le total des produits a diminué de 11,0 % d’un exercice à l’autre pour s’établir à 55,8 M$ pour le trimestre clos le 30 juin 2024, une amélioration par rapport à la baisse de 12,3 % enregistrée au dernier trimestre. • Le BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement1 a totalisé 14,1 M$, et la marge sur BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement1 s’est établie à 25,2 %. • Le bénéfice net s’est établi à 7,6 M$, soit un bénéfice dilué de 0,55 $ par action. Résultats financiers du deuxième trimestre de 2024 Pour le deuxième trimestre clos le 30 juin 2024, le total des produits a diminué de 11,0 %, pour s’établir à 55,8 M$, comparativement à 62,7 M$ pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent. La diminution des produits est essentiellement attribuable au recul de nos médias numériques et médias imprimés à marge plus élevée et, dans une moindre mesure, de nos services numériques à marge moins élevée, ce qui a exercé une pression sur nos marges bénéficiaires brutes. Pour le trimestre clos le 30 juin 2024, le total des produits tirés des médias et solutions numériques a diminué de 10,2 % d’un exercice à l’autre, pour s’établir à 43,8 M$, comparativement à 48,8 M$ pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent. La baisse des produits pour la période close le 30 juin 2024 est principalement attribuable à la diminution du nombre de clients des médias numériques et, dans une moindre mesure, à une baisse des dépenses moyennes par client. Pour le trimestre clos le 30 juin 2024, le total des produits tirés des médias imprimés a diminué de 13,6 % d’un exercice à l’autre, pour s’établir à 12,1 M$. La baisse des produits est principalement attribuable à une diminution du nombre de clients des médias imprimés, alors que les dépenses par client ont augmenté d’un exercice à l’autre, en raison des hausses de prix. Le taux de diminution des produits a augmenté d’un exercice à l’autre. La hausse du taux de diminution est en partie attribuable aux vents contraires dans l’économie mondiale, qui ont fait en sorte que les taux de renouvellement des clients ont diminué, mais sont demeurés solides, tandis que les dépenses moyennes par client ont diminué, alors que les clients cherchent à optimiser leurs dépenses. Ces facteurs ont été neutralisés en partie par l’augmentation du nombre de nouveaux comptes et par les hausses de prix. Au deuxième trimestre clos le 30 juin 2024, le BAIIA ajusté1 a diminué pour se chiffrer à 14,8 M$, ou 26,5 % des produits, comparativement à 21,9 M$, ou 35,0 % des produits, pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent. La diminution du BAIIA ajusté pour le deuxième trimestre de 2024 est attribuable aux pressions exercées sur les produits, aux investissements continus dans notre effectif de télévente, à l’augmentation de la charge pour créances douteuses et à la hausse des dépenses liées à la technologie de l’information, qui découle du fait qu’en raison de la nature de ces dernières, elles sont classées à titre de dépenses d’exploitation plutôt qu’à titre de dépenses d’investissement. Ces facteurs ont été contrebalancés en partie par les optimisations du coût des produits vendus et les réductions des autres coûts d’exploitation, y compris les réductions de la main-d’œuvre et des charges connexes liées aux employés. Les pressions exercées sur les produits, contrebalancées en partie par les optimisations continues, exerceront encore une certaine pression sur les marges au cours des prochains trimestres. Le BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement a diminué de 6,5 M$, ou 31,6 %, pour s’établir à 14,1 M$ au cours du deuxième trimestre de 2024, comparativement à 20,6 M$ pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent. La diminution du BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement et de la marge sur BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement est attribuable à la diminution du BAIIA ajusté, partiellement contrebalancée par la diminution des dépenses d’investissement d’un exercice à l’autre. La diminution des dépenses d’investissement s’explique par la nature des dépenses liées à la technologie de l’information, une plus grande partie des dépenses étant classée à titre de dépenses d’exploitation qu’à titre de dépenses d’investissement. Le bénéfice net s’est établi à 7,6 M$ pour le trimestre clos le 30 juin 2024, comparativement à un bénéfice net de 12,7 M$ pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent, ce qui s’explique par la baisse du BAIIA ajusté, contrebalancée en partie par la diminution de l’impôt sur le résultat. Les flux de trésorerie provenant des activités d’exploitation ont diminué de 6,3 M$, pour s’établir à 13,7 M$ pour le trimestre clos le 30 juin 2024, comparativement à 20,0 M$ pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent. La diminution est essentiellement attribuable à la baisse de 7,2 M$ du BAIIA ajusté, contrebalancée en partie par une baisse de 0,9 M$ de l’impôt sur le résultat payé. 1. Le BAIIA ajusté correspond au bénéfice d’exploitation avant amortissements et frais de restructuration et autres charges (défini aux présentes comme le « BAIIA ajusté »), tel qu’il est présenté dans les états consolidés intermédiaires résumés du résultat net de Pages Jaunes Limitée. Le BAIIA ajusté, la marge sur BAIIA ajusté, les dépenses d’investissement, le BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement et la marge sur BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement sont des mesures financières non conformes aux PCGR et n’ont pas de signification normalisée selon les normes IFRS. Il est donc peu probable qu’ils soient comparables à des mesures semblables employées par d’autres sociétés ouvertes. Pour en savoir davantage, se reporter à la section Mesures financières non conformes aux PCGR, à la fin du présent document. Conférence téléphonique et webdiffusion Pages Jaunes Limitée tiendra une conférence téléphonique et une webdiffusion simultanées à l’intention des analystes et des médias à 8 h 30 (heure de l’Est) le 7 août 2024 pour commenter les résultats du deuxième trimestre de 2024.

De plus, en 2023, le taux de diminution a subi l’incidence négative du fait que le taux de réclamation des clients était demeuré stable en 2023, alors qu’il avait nettement diminué en 2022. Au troisième trimestre clos le 30 septembre 2024, le BAIIA ajusté1 a diminué pour se chiffrer à 12,5 M$, ou 23,8 % des produits, comparativement à 17,9 M$, ou 30,9 % des produits, pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent. La diminution du BAIIA ajusté et de la marge sur BAIIA ajusté pour le troisième trimestre de 2024 est attribuable aux pressions exercées sur les produits, aux investissements continus dans notre effectif de télévente et à l’augmentation de la charge pour créances douteuses, facteurs contrebalancés en partie par les optimisations du coût des produits vendus et les réductions des autres coûts d’exploitation, y compris les réductions de la main-d’œuvre et des charges connexes liées aux employés, notamment la rémunération variable. Les pressions exercées sur les produits, contrebalancées en partie par les optimisations continues, exerceront encore une certaine pression sur les marges au cours des prochains trimestres. Le BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement a diminué de 5,0 M$, ou 29,1 %, pour s’établir à 12,2 M$ au cours du troisième trimestre de 2024, comparativement à 17,2 M$ pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent. La diminution du BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement et de la marge sur BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement découle de la diminution du BAIIA ajusté, partiellement contrebalancée par la diminution des dépenses d’investissement d’un exercice à l’autre qui s’explique en partie par la nature des dépenses liées à la technologie de l’information, une plus grande partie des dépenses étant classée à titre de dépenses d’exploitation plutôt qu’à titre de dépenses d’investissement. Le bénéfice net s’est établi à 6,3 M$ pour le trimestre clos le 30 septembre 2024, comparativement à un bénéfice net de 10,1 M$ pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent, ce qui s’explique par la baisse du BAIIA ajusté, contrebalancée en partie par la diminution de l’impôt sur le résultat. Les flux de trésorerie provenant des activités d’exploitation ont augmenté de 1,2 M$, pour s’établir à 11,5 M$ pour le trimestre clos le 30 septembre 2024, comparativement à 10,3 M$ pour la période correspondante de l’exercice précédent. Cette hausse est essentiellement attribuable à la baisse de 4,2 M$ des paiements en trésorerie au titre de la rémunération fondée sur des actions, à une augmentation de 1,8 M$ découlant des variations des actifs et des passifs d’exploitation et à la baisse de 0,6 M$ de l’impôt sur le résultat payé, facteurs contrebalancés en partie par la diminution de 5,4 M$ du BAIIA ajusté. La variation des actifs et des passifs d’exploitation s’explique principalement par le calendrier de recouvrement des créances clients et de paiement des créances clients. 1. Le BAIIA ajusté correspond au bénéfice d’exploitation avant amortissements et frais de restructuration et autres charges (défini aux présentes comme le « BAIIA ajusté »), tel qu’il est présenté dans les états consolidés intermédiaires résumés du résultat net de Pages Jaunes Limitée. Le BAIIA ajusté, la marge sur BAIIA ajusté, les dépenses d’investissement, le BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement et la marge sur BAIIA ajusté moins les dépenses d’investissement sont des mesures financières non conformes aux PCGR et n’ont pas de signification normalisée selon les normes IFRS. Il est donc peu probable qu’ils soient comparables à des mesures semblables employées par d’autres sociétés ouvertes.

- Yellow Pages Limited Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Financial and Operating Results and Announces Intention to Repay All Remaining Debt and Initiate Regular Stock Dividend | YP Corporate Live
test meta Press Releases Back to News Back to News Montreal (Quebec), February 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 and year ended December 31, 2019. “We continued our strong Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin1 in the Fourth Quarter and for the full year 2019. As we predicted last quarter, this allowed us to fully repay our notes on December 2, 2019, three years ahead of maturity. And today we announce our intention to make an optional redemption payment of $107.1 million toward the principal amount to fully repay all of our remaining debt, our exchangeable debentures, on or shortly after May 31, 2021, at par. “We also intend to initiate a regular quarterly dividend of 11 cents per common share per quarter, beginning in the second quarter of 2020. “In addition, we continue to invest appropriately in our business, including significant expansion of our tele-sales force to support further ‘bending of the revenue curve.’ We are heartened that, including this most recent quarter, we produced an improved year-on-year rate of revenue change in our YP segment for four consecutive quarters, as our various initiatives to ‘bend the revenue curve’ continued to bear fruit,” said David A. Eckert, President and CEO of Yellow Pages Limited. Financial Highlights Fourth Quarter of 2019 Results Despite revenue pressures, the Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin1 increased to 35.1% as compared to 29.8% for the same period last year as a result of the divestiture of unprofitable or non-synergistic businesses and revenues as well as cost reductions in the YP segment. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX1 decreased by $4.3 million year-over-year and amounted to $32.8 million. Net earnings increased by $13.6 million to $53.6 million, or $1.70 per diluted share. On December 2, 2019, as previously announced, the Company made a mandatory redemption payment of $50.3 million toward the principal amount on its Senior Secured Notes (the ”Notes”). With this payment the Company has repaid the Notes in full. Segmented Information The Company’s operations are categorized into two reportable segments: 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, 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 and Bookenda until their sale on April 30, 2019 and the Mediative division until its liquidation on January 31, 2019. The operations of the businesses sold in 2018 are also included in this segment until their respective disposal dates, namely: JUICE Mobile, RedFlagDeals.com™, Yellow Pages NextHome, ComFree/DuProprio, Totem and Western Media Group. An overview of each segment and the performance of each segment for the three-month periods and years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 can be found in the February 12, 2020 Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2019 Revenues for the YP segment for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by $17.3 million or 15.6% year-over-year and amounted to $93.5 million compared to $110.8 million for the same period last year. This compares to a decrease of $26.4 million or 19.2% for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 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 fourth quarter of 2019 totalled $34.8 million compared to $38.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is a result of lower overall revenues, pressures from the change in product mix and investments in customer care and investments in new customer acquisition. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the YP segment for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 37.2% compared to 35.1% for the same period last year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter is due to the revenue pressures, investments in customer care and investments in new customer acquisition being more than offset by an increased focus on the profitability of our products and services and reductions in both our cost of sales and other operating costs. Total revenues for the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $31.0 million or 24.9% year-over-year and amounted to $93.5 million as compared to $124.5 million for the same period last year. The decline in total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was due to lower digital and print revenues in the YP segment as well as the divestitures in the Other segment. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $6.4 million to $34.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $41.1 million during the same period last year. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 was 37.2% compared to 33.0% for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 is the result of revenue pressures in the YP segment as well as the divestitures in the Other segment. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin is mainly due to reductions in both our cost of sales and other operating costs which fully offset the revenue pressures in the YP segment as well as the dilutive effect on profitability of the lower margin Other segment in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX decreased by $4.3 million or 11.7% to $32.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $37.1 million during the same period in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX for the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 was mainly impacted by lower Adjusted EBITDA partially offset by decreased spending on software development. We recorded net earnings of $53.6 million and $40.0 million during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The improvement in net earnings is mainly due to decreased depreciation and amortization expenses due to lower software development expenditures, lower financial charges from a reduced level of indebtedness and higher recovery of income taxes partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA and an increase in restructuring and other charges. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $9.8 million to $32.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 from $41.8 million for the same period last year mainly due to a $17.1 million decrease in the change in operating assets and liabilities mainly from reduced receivables due to the divestitures. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had $156.4 million of total debt, compared to $339.0 million as at December 31, 2018. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had $54.1 million of net debt excluding lease obligations1, compared to $182.2 million as atDecember 31, 2018. Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Revenues for the YP segment for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $83.7 million or 17.2% year-over year and amounted to $401.9 million compared to $485.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2019 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 year ended December 31, 2019 totalled $161.0 million compared to $185.0 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is a result of lower overall revenues, pressures from the change in product mix and investments in customer care. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the YP segment for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased to 40.1% from 38.1% for the same period last year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year ended December 31, 2019 is due to the revenue pressures and investments in customer care and investments in new customer acquisition being fully offset by an increased focus on the profitability of our products and services and reductions in both our costs of sales and other operating costs. The decrease in cost of sales was mainly due to workforce reductions primarily in non-customer facing areas in the first quarter of 2018 and to call center consolidations and optimization of our servicing model in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in other operating costs included reductions in our workforce and associated employee expenses, reductions in the Company’s office space footprint, other spending reductions across the segment as well as an adjustment to the variable compensation expense in the first quarter of 2019 mainly due to employee attrition and previous year performances. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $174.0 million or 30.1% year- over-year and amounted to $403.2 million as compared to $577.2 million for the same period last year. The decline in total revenues was due to the divestitures in the Other segment as well as lower digital and print revenues in the YP segment. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $31.2 million or 16.2% to $161.3 million, compared to $192.6 million for the same period last year. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin amounted to 40.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 33.4% for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was the result of revenue pressures in the YP segment as well as the divestitures in the Other segment. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year ended December 31, 2019 is mainly due to the dilutive effect on profitability of the lower margin Other segment in 2018 and reductions in both our cost of sales and other operating costs. The reductions fully offset the revenue pressures in the YP segment for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX decreased by $28.9 million or 16.0% to $151.6 million compared to $180.5 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX for the year ended December 31, 2019 was mainly impacted by lower Adjusted EBITDA partially offset by decreased spending on software development and was further negatively impacted by lease incentives received in 2018. The Company recorded net earnings of $94.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $82.8 million for the same period last year. The increase in net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period last year is mainly due to the lower depreciation and amortization expenses and lower financial charges from a reduced level of indebtedness due to repayment of the Senior Secured Notes partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA and lower recovery of income taxes. The Company recorded net earnings of $94.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $82.8 million for the same period last year. The increase in net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period last year is mainly due to the lower depreciation and amortization expenses and lower financial charges from a reduced level of indebtedness due to repayment of the Senior Secured Notes partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA and lower recovery of income taxes. Cash flows from operating activities increased by $10.1 million to $144.8 million from $134.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 mainly due to lower payments for restructuring and other charges of $18.4 million, lower interest paid of $20.3 million due to a lower level of indebtedness due to repayments of the Senior Secured Notes and lower funding of post-employment benefit plans of $1.4 million, mainly offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA of $31.2 million.

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 5 of this document for more details. (2) Net debt excluding lease obligations is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS.

Refer to the section on Non-GAAP financial measures on page 5 of this document for more details including reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS financial measure. 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 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 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 less lease incentives received as reported in the Investing Activities section of the Company’s 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-GAAP 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 its ongoing profitability. We believe that certain investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin to evaluate the performance of a business. 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 consolidated statements of income. Refer to page 5 and page 12 of the February 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 Senior Secured Notes (including current portion) and Exchangeable debentures less Cash and restricted 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 annual consolidated financial statements. The table below provides a reconciliation of total debt to net debt excluding lease obligations.

- Yellow Pages Limited Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results and Declares a Cash Dividend | YP Corporate Live
Press Releases Back to News Back to News Montreal (Quebec), August 6, 2025 — 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 six-months ended June 30, 2025. “We are pleased with our second quarter results, which reflect our continuing progress toward revenue stability, and a strong cash balance,” said Sherilyn King, President and CEO of Yellow Pages Limited. King commented on the key developments: Progress toward revenue stability. “For the sixth consecutive quarter, we report a favorable ‘bending of the revenue curve’ in Q2, as our rate of change in revenue was better than the change reported for the previous quarter.” Progress on revenue initiatives. “We are encouraged by the continued momentum in the core metrics driving our revenue performance. These include the continued deceleration of the customer count decline rate, supported by new customer acquisitions, stable renewal rates and strong average spend per customer. We believe these fundamentals position us well for continued success in the medium and long term.” Good quarterly earnings. “Our Adjusted EBITDA 2 for the quarter was 20.7% of revenue, even with our continued investments in revenue initiatives.” Strong cash balance. “Our cash on hand at the end of July stood at approximately $49 million.” Group annuity contracts purchase. “As previously announced, on May 21, 2025, the Company completed the purchase of group annuity contracts for $210 million from BMO Life Assurance Company. This transaction aligns with the plan to derisk the Defined Benefit Pension Plan as we annuitized approximately 50% of the pension liability.” Pension plan contribution. “Also announced on May 21, 2025, the Company intends to voluntarily contribute an additional $4.0 million to the remaining defined benefit pension plan by the end of June 2026, subject to review by its Board of Directors. On August 5, 2025, our Board approved that $2.0 million of the announced voluntary cash contributions be completed by the end of 2025.” Quarterly dividend declared. “Our Board has once again declared a dividend of $0.25 per common share, to be paid on September 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of August 25, 2025.” (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 ® Accounting Standards. 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. Second Quarter of 2025 Results Total Revenues decreased 7.4% year-over-year and amounted to $51.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, an improvement from the decrease of 7.6% reported last quarter. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX 1 totalled $10.4 million and the EBITDA less CAPEX margin 1 was 20.1%. Net income amounted to $1.5 million, or to $0.11 diluted income per share. Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2025 Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 decreased by 7.4% year-over-year and amounted to $51.7 million as compared to $55.8 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. Total digital revenues decreased 6.4% year-over-year and amounted to $41.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to $43.8 million for the same period last year. The revenue decline is mainly attributable to a decrease in digital customer count, partially offset by an increase in the average spend per customer. Total print revenues decreased 11.2% year-over-year and amounted to $10.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. The revenue decline is mainly due to the decrease in the number of print customers while the spend per customer has improved year-over-year driven by price increases. The decline rate for total revenues, digital revenues and print revenues all improved year-over-year. The improvement of the revenue decline rates was mainly due to the deceleration of the customer count decline rate, fueled by an increase in new customer acquisitions, while renewal rates remained relatively stable and an increase in average spend per customer, due in part to price increases. Adjusted EBITDA 1 decreased to $10.7 million or 20.7% of revenues in the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, relative to $14.8 million or 26.5% of revenues for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin 1 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 is the result of revenue pressures, the ongoing investments in our tele-sales force capacity, and the impact of the Company’s share price on cash settled stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by optimization in cost of sales, reductions in other operating costs including reductions in our workforce and associated employee expenses. The revaluation of cash settled stock-based compensation liabilities resulted in an expense of $0.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to a recovery of $1.2 million for the same period last year. Revenue pressures from product mix and investments in our tele-sales force capacity, partially offset by continued optimization and cost reductions, will continue to cause pressure on margins in upcoming quarters. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX decreased by $3.7 million to $10.4 million during the second quarter of 2025, compared to $14.1 million during the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX and Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 is driven by the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by a decrease in CAPEX spend year-over-year. Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $1.5 million as compared to net income of $7.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease is mainly due to lower Adjusted EBITDA, the increase in restructuring and other charges and the settlement loss on annuity purchase, partially offset by the decrease in depreciation and amortization and income taxes. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $1.6 million to $12.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 from $13.7 million for the same period last year. The decrease is mainly due to lower Adjusted EBITDA of $4.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in funding of post-employment benefit plans of $1.5 million and $1.2 million increase in change in operating assets and liabilities. The change in operating assets and liabilities is mainly due to the timing in the collection of trade receivables and the payment of trade receivables.

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 Accounting Standards and are not considered an alternative to income from operations or net income in the context of measuring Yellow Pages performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards 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, debt principal reductions and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed on page 11 of our August 5, 2025 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 consolidated statements of cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin is defined as the percentage of Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX to revenues.

- Yellow Pages Limited Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial and Operating Results and Declares a Cash Dividend1 | YP Corporate Live
Press Releases Back to News Back to News Montreal (Quebec), November 9, 2023 — 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-months ended September 30, 2023. “In the third quarter, we continued to produce strong profitability and cash generation, despite headwinds in the global economy hindering our progress on the revenue front,” said David A. Eckert, President and CEO of Yellow Pages Limited. Eckert commented on the key developments: · Healthy earnings. “Our Adjusted EBITDA2 for the quarter was 30.9% of revenue, despite our continued investments in revenue initiatives, including the expansion of our sales force.” · Growing cash balance . “Our steady, strong cash generation has grown cash on hand to approximately $76 million at the end of October.” · Continued progress on revenue initiatives . “The headwinds in the global economy contributed to a challenging quarter for revenue. However, we remain pleased with our progress on underlying metrics, including the size of our sales force, our rate of churn of customers, and our rate of gaining new accounts. We believe these fundamentals bode well for our medium- and long-term future.” · Quarterly dividend declared. “Our Board has declared a dividend of $0.20 per common share, to be paid on December 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of November 24, 2023.” · Quarterly funding of pension plan on track. “Consistent with our deficit-reduction plan announced in May 2021, in the third quarter of 2023 we made $1.5 million of voluntary incremental payments toward our Defined Benefit Pension Plan’s wind-up deficit.” · Cash to Shareholders and to Pension Plan by year-end. “As previously announced on October 19, 2023, our Board approved the use of discretionary cash of $50 million to buy back the Company’s shares and $12 million to accelerate our planned voluntary contributions to the Defined Benefit Pension Plan, as part of a plan of arrangement. We remain on track to complete the plan of arrangement by the end of the year.” 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.

Third Quarter of 2023 Results • Total revenues decreased 12.4% year-over-year and amounted to $58.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the decrease of 6.5% reported for the same period last year. • Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX1 totalled $17.2 million and the EBITDA less CAPEX margin1 was 29.7%. • Net income amounted to $10.1 million, or to $0.56 per diluted share. Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2023 Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 decreased by 12.4% to $58.1 million, as compared to $66.3 million for the same period last year. Total digital revenues decreased 10.6% year-over-year and amounted to $46.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $52.2 million for the same period last year. The revenue decline for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, was mainly attributable to a decrease in digital customer count partially offset by an increase in spend per customer. Total print revenues decreased 19.1% year-over-year and amounted to $11.4 million for three-month period ended September 30, 2023. The revenue decline for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, is mainly attributable to the decrease in the number of print customers and to a lesser extent, a decrease in spend per customer. The decline rate of revenues increased year-over-year and compared to prior quarter. The higher decline rate is attributable, in part, to (a) the headwinds in the global economy, whereby, customer renewal rates have remained strong but stable while the improvements in average spend per customer has slowed as customers look to optimize their spend and (b) a cybersecurity incident which resulted in the Company’s operations and IT systems being suspended for approximately three weeks of the second quarter of 2023. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $8.5 million or 32.1% to $17.9 million, compared to $26.4 million for the same period last year. The adjusted EBITDA margin decreased for the third quarter of 2023 to 30.9%, compared to 39.8% for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 is the result of pressures from lower revenues, change in product mix, the ongoing investments in our tele-sales force capacity, as well as the impact of the Company’s share price on cash settled stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by price increases, the efficiencies from optimization in cost of sales and reductions in other operating costs including reductions in our workforce and associated employee expenses, a decrease in bad debt expense and lower variable compensation expense. Revenue pressures, coupled with increased headcount in our salesforce partially offset by continued optimization, will continue to cause pressure on margins in upcoming quarters. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX decreased by $7.9 million or 31.4% to $17.2 million, compared to $25.1 million 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. The decrease in CAPEX spend is partly due to the nature of Information Technology spend whereby more of the spend was classified as operating versus capital in nature. Net income decreased to $10.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to $16.7 million for the same period last year. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $10.6 million to $10.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is mainly due to lower Adjusted EBITDA of $8.5 million, the increase in stock-based compensation cash settlements of $2.1 million and higher income taxes paid of $1.0 million, partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The change in operating assets and liabilities is mainly due to the timing in the collection of trade receivables and the payment of trade receivables as well as the impact of the share price on the cash settled stock-based compensation. As at September 30, 2023, the Company had $69.8 million of cash.

- Yellow Pages Limited Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial and Operating Results and Declares a Cash Dividend1 | YP Corporate Live
Press Releases Back to News Back to News Montreal (Quebec), February 15, 2023 — 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 year ended December 31, 2022. “We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full year results which reflect sustained strong profitability and cash generation and more progress toward revenue stability,” said David A. Eckert, President and CEO of Yellow Pages Limited. Eckert commented on the key developments: Strong quarterly earnings. “Our Adjusted EBITDA2 for the quarter and full year was 32.5% and 36.0% of revenue, respectively, despite our continued, productive investments in revenue initiatives and evolving product mix.” Cash to Shareholders and to Pension Plan. “During the quarter, we completed the previously announced plan of arrangement, distributing $100.0 million to shareholders and $24.0 million of voluntary contributions to our Defined Benefit Pension Plan’s wind-up deficit, in addition to our previously announced $1.0 million of voluntary incremental payments toward our Defined Benefit Pension Plan’s wind-up deficit.” Healthy cash balance. “Even after the disbursements to shareholders and the Pension Plan, our cash balance at the end of January was approximately $50 million.” Quarterly dividend declared. “Our Board has declared a dividend of $0.15 per common share, to be paid on March 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of February 24, 2023.” Ever closer to revenue stability. “For the ninth consecutive quarter since COVID-19 hit, and the fourteenth of the last sixteen quarters overall, we report a favorable ‘bending of the revenue curve’ in Q4 2022, with a better rate of change in revenue than reported for the previous quarter.” Financial Highlights (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except percentage information and per share information) *Includes voluntary contributions to the Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) of $24.0 million, made during the fourth quarter of 2022 pursuant to the plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”). (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 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. Fourth Quarter of 2022 Results Total revenues decreased 5.9% year-over-year and amounted to $64.6 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, an improvement from the decrease of 6.5% reported last quarter. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX1 totalled $20.0 million and the EBITDA less CAPEX margin1 was 31.0%. Net income decreased to $29.4 million, or to $1.63 per diluted share. Cash flows from operating activities decreased year-over-year mainly due to the voluntary funding contribution payment of $24.0 million to the Pension Plan pursuant to the Arrangement. Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2022 Total revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022 decreased by 5.9% to $64.6 million, as compared to $68.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease in revenues 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. The decline rates for total revenues, digital revenues and print revenues all improved significantly yearover-year. Total revenue decline of 5.9% this quarter compares to a decline of 10.5% reported for the same period last year. Digital revenue decline of 4.3% this quarter compares to a decline of 8.7% reported for the same period last year. Print revenue decline of 11.7% this quarter compares to a decline of 16.5% reported for the same period last year. These improvements were due to better spend per customer in digital, increased renewal rates as well as improvement in customer claims. The improved spend per customer is due in part to increased pricing. Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased to $21.0 million or 32.5% of revenues in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, relative to $24.4 million or 35.5% of revenues for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin1 is the result of revenue pressures, ongoing investments in our tele-sales force capacity, the increase in cash-settled stock-based compensation expense due to movements in YP's share price and lower wage subsidies received, partially offset by price increases, efficiencies from optimization in cost of sales and reductions in other operating costs including reductions in our workforce and associated employee expenses and the decrease in bad debt expense. Revenue pressures, coupled with increased headcount in our salesforce partially offset by continued optimization, will continue to cause some pressure on margin in upcoming quarters. Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX decreased by $3.1 million to $20.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $23.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 is mainly due to lower Adjusted EBITDA partially offset by lower capital expenditures. Net income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $29.4 million as compared to net income of $38.7 million for the same period last year. The decrease is mainly attributable to higher recognition of previously unrecognized tax attributes and temporary differences in 2021. Income before taxes increased from $15.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 to $16.7 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, explained principally by lower Adjusted EBITDA being more than offset by decreases in restructuring and other charges, depreciation and amortization and financial charges. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $29.4 million to $(0.6) million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 from $28.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease is mainly due to increased funding of post-employment benefits plans of $23.5 million, lower Adjusted EBITDA of $3.4 million, and a decrease of $3.0 million from the change in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by income taxes received of $0.1 million, and lower restructuring and other charges paid of $0.6 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities is mainly due to the timing in the collection of trade receivables and the timing of payment of trade payables as well as the impact of the share price on cash settled stock-based compensation. (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 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. Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2022 Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by 6.7% to $268.3 million, as compared to $287.6 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. For the year ended December 31, 2022 Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased by $5.4 million or 5.3% to $96.6 million, compared to $102.0 million for the same period last year. The adjusted EBITDA margin1 increased during the year ended December 31, 2022 to 36.0%, compared to 35.5% for the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022, is the result of revenue pressures as well as ongoing investments in our tele-sales force capacity, partially offset by price increases, the efficiencies from optimization in cost of sales, reductions in other operating costs including reductions in our workforce and associated employee expenses, the decrease in bad debt expense and the decrease in cash-settled stock-based compensation expense. For the year ended December 31, 2022 Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX1 decreased by $5.4 million or 5.5% to $91.6 million, compared to $96.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease is driven by the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA. The adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX margin1 increased during the period ended December 31, 2022 to 34.1% compared to 33.7% for the same period last year. Net income increased to $73.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to net income of $70.6 million, for the same period last year due to higher income before income taxes partially offset by higher income taxes due to lower recognition of previously unrecognized tax attributes and temporary differences. The increase in income before income taxes for the year-ended December 31, 2022 of $16.2 million is explained by lower Adjusted EBITDA, being more than offset by the decrease in financial charges due to lower debt and higher cash balances as well as the decrease in depreciation and amortization and restructuring and other charges. Furthermore, the year-ended December 31, 2021 was impacted by the loss on the early repayment of debt of $7.8 million. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $55.1 million to $49.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $104.6 million last year. The decrease is mainly due to income taxes paid of $7.8 million, of which $5.5 million related to the full year 2021 and $2.3 million related to instalments for 2022, increased stock-based compensation cash settlements of $1.6 million, increased funding of post-employment benefit plans of $24.6 million mainly pursuant to the Arrangement, lower Adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million, and by a decrease of $21.4 million from the change in operating assets and liabilities. The change in operating assets and liabilities is mainly due to the timing in the collection of trade receivables and the timing of payment of trade payables as well as the impact of the share price on cash settled share-based compensation. The first quarter of 2022 also benefited from the cancellation of the forward contracts resulting in a decrease in other receivables of $3.1 million. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had $43.9 million of cash. Plan of Arrangement On August 4, 2022, the Board approved a distribution to shareholders of approximately $100.0 million by way of a share repurchase from all shareholders pursuant to a statutory arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) approved the Arrangement at a special meeting of the Shareholders held on September 23, 2022 and the Company subsequently obtained the final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Arrangement on September 27, 2022. On October 4, 2022, the Company repurchased from shareholders pro rata an aggregate of 7,949,125 common shares (including 388,082 shares held in treasury) at a purchase price of $12.58 per share pursuant to the Arrangement for a total of $101.0 million, including $1.0 million of transaction costs.

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 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 income 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, debt principal reductions and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed on page 19 of our February 14, 2023 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 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-GAAP 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 consolidated statements of income. Refer to pages 8 and 14 of the February 14, 2023 MD&A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX.
