Q 3 2018 Results Forward-Looking Statements and Non-IFRS Measures Certain information regarding WSP contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include estimates, plans, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, guidance or other statements that are not statements of fact. Although WSP believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and may be based on assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. WSP's forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The complete version of the cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements as well as a description of the relevant assumptions and risk factors likely to affect WSP's actual or projected results are included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2017, which is available on SEDAR at www. sedar. com. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are made as of the date hereof and WSP does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise unless expressly required by applicable securities laws. 2 WSP reports its financial results in accordance IFRS. However, in this presentation, the following non-IFRS measures are used by WSP: net revenues, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, days sales outstanding (DSO) and EBITDA. These measures are defined at the end of the « Glossary section » of WSP’s MD&A dated November 7, 2018 and a reconciliation to IFRS measures can be found in the MD&A. Management of WSP believes that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors regarding WSP’s financial condition and results of operations as they provide key metrics of its performance. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized under IFRS, do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and may differ from similar computations as reported by other issuers, and accordingly may not be comparable. Organic growth is a measure of net revenues growth in local currencies. WSP believes it is helpful to adjust net revenues to exclude the impact of net revenues related to acquisitions and foreign currency fluctuations in order to facilitate comparable period operating segment business performance. All of the aforementioned measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.
