Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio is defined as Adjusted EBITDA calculated on a 12-month trailing basis giving pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions adjusted to
the first day of the calculation period ("Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA"). Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is used by Superior to calculate its Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio.
To calculate the Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio divide the sum of borrowings before deferred financing fees and lease liabilities by Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA. Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Leverage Ratio is used by Superior and certain investors to assess its ability to service debt.
AOCF and AOCF per Share
AOCF is equal to cash flow from operating activities as defined by IFRS, adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital, other expenses, non-cash interest expense, current income taxes and finance costs. Superior
may deduct or include additional items in its calculation of AOCF; these items would generally, but not necessarily, be related to acquiring businesses, integration activities, restructuring provisions and other costs
associated with the acquisition and integration of businesses and could distort the analysis of trends in business performance. Excluding these items does not imply they are non-recurring. AOCF and AOCF per share
are presented before and after transaction, restructuring and other costs.
AOCF per share before transaction, restructuring and other costs is calculated by dividing AOCF before transaction, restructuring and other costs by the weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming the
conversion of preferred shares into common shares. AOCF per share is calculated by dividing AOCF by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
AOCF is a performance measure used by management and investors to evaluate Superior's ongoing performance of its businesses and ability to generate cash flow. AOCF represents cash flow generated by Superior
that is available for, but not necessarily limited to, changes in working capital requirements, investing activities and financing activities.
The seasonality of Superior's individual quarterly results must be assessed in the context of annualized AOCF. Adjustments recorded by Superior as part of its calculation of AOCF include, but are not limited to, the
impact of the seasonality of Superior's businesses, principally the Propane Distribution segments, by adjusting for non-cash working capital items, thereby eliminating the impact of the timing between the recognition
and collection/payment of Superior's revenue and expenses, which can differ significantly from quarter to quarter.
