Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information contained in or accessible through this Website contains forward-looking information or statements (“forward-looking statements”).  All statements other than historical fact can be considered forward-looking.  Statements of this type may also be included in our other filings with Canadian securities regulators, or in our other communications.  Many of these statements can be identified by looking for words such as "believe", "expects", "will", "intends", "projects", "anticipates", "estimates", "continues", or similar words, or the negative of such words.  All such statements are made pursuant to the applicable provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements contained in this Website include, but are not limited to: comments with respect to our objectives and priorities for the current fiscal year and beyond; our growth strategies or future actions; the results of or outlook for our operations and those of our Private Company Partners or for the Canadian and U.S. economies; guidance on the earnings coverage ratio for a Private Company Partner; the risks that may impact our business and that of our Private Company Partners; estimates of the annual distributions to be received by Alaris from each of its Private Company Partners; guidance on Alaris’ revenues and payout ratio; and the percentage change in the applicable performance metric for a Private Company Partner. To the extent that any forward-looking statements herein constitute a financial outlook, including without limitation, estimated annual distributions to be received by Alaris from the Private Company Partners, the estimated change in performance metric and the outlook for our operations (including, without limitation, revenues and payout ratio) and those of our Private Company Partners, they were approved by Management as of the date of the document they are included in or the date they put on this website, as applicable and have been included to assist readers in understanding Management’s current expectations regarding Alaris’ financial performance and are subject to the same risks and assumptions disclosed herein.

By their nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties.  Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S. economies over the next 24 months and how that will affect our business and our ability to identify and close new opportunities with new Private Company Partners are material factors we considered when setting our strategic priorities and objectives, and our outlook for our business.  Key assumptions that may be used by management from time to time include: that the Canadian and U.S. economies will grow moderately over the next 12 months; that interest rates will not rise in a material way over the next 12 to 24 months; that the Private Company Partners will continue to make distributions to Alaris as and when required; that the businesses of the Private Company Partners will not decline in a material way; what Alaris expects to experience regarding resets to its annual royalties and distributions from its Private Company Partners in the current fiscal year; that Alaris will have the ability to raise required equity and/or debt financing on acceptable terms; that capital markets will remain stable and that the Canadian dollar will not fluctuate in a material way relative to the U.S. dollar. Management may also make assumptions regarding: the impact of increasing competition; the general stability of the economic environment in which Alaris and the Private Company Partners operate; the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; the ability of Alaris to obtain qualified staff and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; the business of the Private Company Partners, including the economic and regulatory environment in which each of them operates and their ability to pay the distributions payable to Alaris; the effect of adding new Private Company Partners; and the ability of Alaris to identify new Private Company Partners and grow its business throughout North America; that tax rates and tax laws will not change significantly in Canada, the U.S. or the Netherlands; that more private companies will require access to alternative sources of capital; and that we will have the ability to raise required equity and/or debt financing on acceptable terms.  We may also have assumed that access to the capital markets will remain relatively stable, that the capital markets will perform with normal levels of volatility and that the Canadian dollar will not have a high amount of volatility relative to the U.S. dollar.  In determining our expectations for economic growth, we primarily consider historical economic data provided by the Canadian and U.S. governments and their agencies.  In determining expectations for economic growth, management of Alaris primarily considers historical economic data provided by the Canadian and U.S. governments and their agencies

There is a significant risk that Alaris’ predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections will prove to be inaccurate, that Alaris’ assumptions may not be correct and that actual results may differ materially from such predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections.  Although Alaris believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in or accessible through this Website as a number of factors could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements.

The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to: the general economic conditions in Canada, the United States and globally; the dependence of Alaris on the Private Company Partners; reliance on key personnel; failure to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of Alaris' arrangements with the Private Company Partners and any concessions or relief provided in connection therewith; limited diversification of the Private Company Partners; management of future growth; availability of future financing; competition; changes in legislation and regulation or changes in the interpretation thereof; leverage and restrictive covenants under the Company's senior debt facility and the debt facilities of the Private Company Partners; the ability of the Private Company Partners to terminate their agreements with the Company; risks relating to the Private Company Partners and their businesses including, without limitation, a material change in the business of a Private Company or the industries they operate in or a change in Private Company Partner's ability to continue to pay the distributions to Alaris; unpredictability and potential volatility of the trading price of Alaris’ common shares; fluctuations of dividends; restrictions on the potential growth of Alaris as a consequence of the payment to shareholders by Alaris of substantially all of its operating cash flow in the form of dividends; income tax related risks; ability to recover from the Private Company Partners for defaults under the terms of their agreements with Alaris; conflicts of interest between the Company and the Private Company Partners; dilution; and the liquidity of our common shares.  Additional factors that may affect the future outcomes relating to the forward-looking statements contained on this Website are set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in Alaris’ most recent Annual Information Form (the “AIF”), a copy of which is available on www.sedar.com.  You are encouraged to review the AIF in its entirety.  Alaris cautions that this list of risk factors is not exhaustive.  Other factors could adversely affect our results.  When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Alaris, investors and others should carefully consider these factors, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements.  Alaris does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made, from time to time, by the organization or on its behalf, except as required by law.  The forward-looking statements contained in or accessible through this Website are presented for the purpose of assisting our investors in understanding our operations, prospects, risks and other external factors that impact us specifically as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Non-IFRS Measures

The information contained in or accessible through this Website may refer to certain terms that are not standard measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including the terms “EBITDA”, “payout ratio” and “annualized payout ratio” (the “Non-IFRS Measures”). Alaris’ method of calculating the Non-IFRS Measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, the Alaris’ Non-IFRS Measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.  EBITDA refers to net earnings (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS, before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense. EBITDA is used by management to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management believes EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine Alaris’ or its Private Company Partners’ ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, income taxes and dividends.  Payout Ratio means dividends paid, divided by cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital.  Annualized Payout Ratio means Alaris’ total annualized dividend per share expected to be paid over the next twelve months divided by the net cash from operating activities per share Alaris expects to generate over the same twelve month period (after giving effect to the impact of all information disclosed as at the date such information was posted to the Website).  Earnings Coverage Ratio means the trailing twelve month EBITDA of a Private Company Partner divided by interest, principal repayments, maintenance capital expenditures and distributions to Alaris. Earnings coverage ratio is used by Alaris to evaluate a Private Company Partner’s ability to pay the distributions payable to Alaris.

These Non-IFRS measures should only be used in conjunction with our annual audited and quarterly reviewed financial statements, complete versions of which are available at www.sedar.com.
