The Company presents adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share because it believes that they are important supplemental measures of its comparable controllable operating performance and it wants to ensure that its investors fully understand the impact of its stock-based compensation (net of any related tax impact) on net income attributable to common shareholders. Management uses these measures to review operating performance on a comparable basis from period to period. However, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. The Credit Facility provides that the Company will be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.1:1. The Company will also be required to maintain minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of $90.0 million on December 31, 2014, which requirement increases to $100.0 million on December 31, 2015. The Company must also maintain a Maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2.00:1 on December 31, 2014, which requirement decreases to 1.75:1 on December 31, 2015. The ratio of total debt to EBITDA was nil:1 as at September 30, 2014, where Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is the sum of all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments and was $nil. EBITDA is calculated as follows: **For the** **For the** **3 months ended** **12 months ended** **EBITDA per Credit Facility:** **September 30, 2014** **September 30, 2014**(1) **_(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)_**  Net income  $ 5,297 $ 47,484 Add (subtract): Loss from equity accounted investments  297 2,480 Provision for income taxes  1,188 16,790 Interest expense, net of interest income  120 936 Depreciation and amortization, including film asset amortization  7,861 31,553 Write-downs net of recoveries including asset impairments and receivable  provisions  174 2,810 Stock and other non-cash compensation  3,519 14,946 EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interests(2) (887) (1,776) $ 17,569 $ 115,223 (1) Ratio of total debt calculated using twelve months ended EBITDA  (2) The EBITDA calculation specified for purposes of the minimum EBITDA covenant excludes the reduction in EBITDA from the Company's non-controlling interests.  **IMAX CORPORATION** **OTHER INFORMATION** _(in thousands of U.S. dollars)_ **_Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Per Share Calculations – Quarter Ended September 30, 2014 vs. 2013:_** The Company reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $4.9 million or $0.07 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2014, as compared to $1.6 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2013.

Cash used in investing activities includes capital expenditures, acquisitions and other cash used in investing activities. Management views free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as a measure of the Company's after-tax cash flow available to reduce debt, add to cash balances, and fund other financing activities.
