NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management believes that providing certain non-GAAP measures provides users of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A with important information regarding the operational performance and related trends of the Company's business. By considering these measures in combination with the comparable IFRS measures set out below, management believes that users are provided a better overall understanding of the Company's business and its financial performance during the relevant period than if they simply considered the IFRS measures alone.
The non-GAAP measures used by management do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for net income or cash flow, in each case as determined in accordance with IFRS.
Management also uses key performance indicators to enable consistent measurement of performance across the organization. These KPIs are non-GAAP financial measures, do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Gross Profit / Gross Profit Margin
Gross Profit is defined as total revenue less cost of goods sold.
Gross Profit Margin is defined as gross profit (defined above) divided by total revenue.
Operating Income / Operating Income Margin
Operating income is defined as net income from continuing operations before interest expense, interest and investment income and income taxes and is used by management to assess and evaluate the financial performance of its operating segments. Financing and related interest charges cannot be attributed to business segments on a meaningful basis that is comparable to other companies. Business segments do not correspond to income tax jurisdictions and it is believed that the allocation of income taxes distorts the historical comparability of the performance of the business segments.
Operating income margin is defined as operating income (defined above) divided by total revenue.

Net Debt to Total Capitalization/Equity
Net debt to total capitalization/equity are calculated as net debt divided by total capitalization and shareholders' equity, respectively, as defined below, and are used by management as measures of the Company's financial leverage.
Net debt is calculated as long-term debt plus current portion of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Total capitalization is calculated as shareholders' equity plus net debt.
The calculations are as follows:
($ thousands) | 2023 | 2022 |
Long-term debt | $ 647,784 | $ 647,060 |
less: Cash and cash equivalents | 1,040,757 | 927,780 |
Net debt | (392,973) | (280,720) |
Shareholders' equity | 2,683,852 | 2,325,359 |
Total capitalization | $ 2,290,879 | $ 2,044,639 |
Net debt to total capitalization | (17) % | (14) % |
Net debt to equity | (0.15):1 | (0.12):1 |
Market Capitalization & Total Enterprise Value
Market capitalization represents the total market value of the Company's equity. It is calculated by multiplying the closing share price of the Company's common shares by the total number of common shares outstanding.
Total enterprise value represents the total value of the Company and is often used as a more comprehensive alternative to market capitalization. It is calculated by adding debt/net debt (defined above) to market capitalization.
The calculations are as follows:
($ thousands, except for shares and share price) | 2023 | 2022 |
Outstanding common shares | 82,297,341 | 82,318,159 |
times: Ending share price | $ 116.10 | $ 97.71 |

Net debt | $ (392,973) | $ (280,720) |
Total enterprise value | $ 9,161,748 | $ 7,762,587 |
Order Bookings and Backlog
Order bookings represent the retail value of firm equipment or project orders received during a period. Backlog is defined as the retail value of equipment units ordered by customers with future delivery, and the remaining retail value of package/project orders remaining to be recognized in revenue under the percentage of completion method. Management uses order backlog as a measure of projecting future equipment and project deliveries. There are no directly comparable IFRS measures for order bookings or backlog.
Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE")
ROCE is utilized to assess both current operating performance and prospective investments. The adjusted earnings numerator used for the calculation is income from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense and interest income (excluding interest on rental conversions). The denominator in the calculation is the monthly average capital employed, which is defined as net debt plus shareholders' equity, also referred to as total capitalization, adjusted for discontinued operations.
($ thousands) | 2023 | 2022 |
Net earnings from continuing operations | $ 529,107 | $ 450,100 |
plus: Interest expense | 28,098 | 27,331 |
less: Interest and investment income | (45,982) | (21,717) |
plus: Interest income – rental conversions | 3,348 | 4,760 |
plus: Income taxes | 193,005 | 163,384 |
Adjusted net earnings | $ 707,576 | $ 623,858 |
Average capital employed | $ 2,347,864 | $ 1,944,501 |
Return on capital employed | 30.1 % | 32.1 % |
Return on Equity ("ROE")
ROE is monitored to assess profitability and is calculated by dividing net earnings from continuing operations by opening shareholders' equity (adjusted for shares issued and shares repurchased and cancelled during the year).
($ thousands) | 2023 | 2022 |
Net earnings from continuing operations | $ 529,107 | $ 450,096 |
Opening shareholder's equity (net of adjustments) | $ 2,317,906 | $ 1,935,365 |
Return on equity | 22.8 % | 23.3 % |
