12. Seasonality
Company production is subject to seasonal fluctuations, with peak production in the third to
fourth quarter of the year. This is due to seasonal weather conditions which affect production.
In the discussion of operating results, CAMPOSOL refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures
such as EBITDA. CAMPOSOL’s management makes regular use of these measures to evaluate
the performance, both in absolute terms and comparatively from period to period. EBITDA,
which CAMPOSOL defines as sales minus cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses
plus depreciation, amortization and amortization without IAS-41, is an approximation of cash
flow from continuing operating activities before tax and net operating capital changes.
Amortization without IAS-41 is the cost assigned to cost of goods sold that under an accounting
without IAS-41 would be considered amortization.
CAMPOSOL’s definition of EBITDA may differ from that of other companies. EBITDA should not
be considered as an alternative to operating income and income before tax as an indicator of
the Company’s operations in accordance with IFRS. Nor is EBITDA an alternative to cash flow
from operating activities in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of EBITDA to total profit
before income tax is provided as follows:
