“2022 was another exceptional year for Tribe”, said Joseph Nakhla, CEO; “and we capped it off with strong revenue results in Q4, achieving record annual revenue. We continued the integration of acquisitions while growing our pipeline of accretive targets. We completed the development and launch of our curated digital marketplace Tribe Market in the fourth quarter and continued to identify partners to grow the offerings for residents of our Tribe communities.”
Mr. Nakhla continued, “Our 2022 growth and national footprint allows us to focus on improving our gross margins and profitability in 2023. We are expecting healthy growth during 2023 driven by new community building completions and the acquisition of Warrington PCI Management. We see 2023 as a year of accelerating growth from both organic initiatives and acquisitions. In addition to this, our theme for 2023 is the ‘Year of Digital Efficiency’ as our population of customers continue to utilize our digital tools and transact with our marketplace and platform.”

1. –Non-IFRS measure that does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to a similar measure disclosed by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA is also not a measure recognized in accordance with IFRS and does not have a prescribed or standardized meaning by IFRS. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense, income tax expense, impairment charges and other expenses. It should be noted that Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other entities. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure as it provides important and relevant information to management about the operating and financial performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA also enables management to assess its ability to generate operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs, and to support future growth. Excluding these items does not imply that they are non-recurring or not useful to investors. Investors should be cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA attributable to shareholders should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flows as determined under IFRS.
2. – Non-IFRS measure that does not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable to a similar measure disclosed by other issuers. Gross profit and gross profit percentage do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company defines gross profit as revenue less cost of software and services and software licensing fees, and gross profit percentage as gross profit calculated as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit and gross profit percentage should not be construed as an alternative for revenue or net loss in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes that gross profit and gross profit percentage are meaningful metrics in assessing the Company’s financial performance and operational efficiency.
