[1] The performance of each segment is evaluated by the CODM based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income (excluding certain operating expenses such as share-based compensation expenses and unusual and non-recurring items, including restructuring related expenses) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin is used to measure Telesat’s operating performance.
[2] Non-recurring payments include severance payments and special compensation and benefits for executives and employees.
