      Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis

      Please see the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for more details. The consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and related MD&A have been reviewed and approved by Tribe’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors. For a more detailed explanation and analysis, please refer to the MD&A that has been filed on SEDAR and is also available on the Company’s website.

      Financial information is reported in Canadian dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Tribe achieved revenue growth of 9% in the second quarter of 2022 over the same period in the prior year, driven primarily by organic growth and smaller tuck-in acquisitions made late in 2021.

      Delays in the occupancy of new buildings due to supply chain issues, municipal government bureaucracy, and labour issues brought on by the pandemic, led to lower-than-expected revenue growth.

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.
