7 terms

form 40-f regulatory

"filed its 2025 annual report on Form 40-F with the SEC on EDGAR"

A Form 40-F is a standardized annual filing used by certain Canadian companies that trade in U.S. markets to give U.S. regulators and investors the same core financial statements and key disclosures they file in Canada. Think of it as a translated, formally packaged annual report that lets investors in a different marketplace compare a company’s results, governance and risks more easily, which reduces uncertainty and helps investment decisions.

edgar regulatory

"Form 40-F with the SEC on EDGAR (www.sec.gov/edgar)"

EDGAR is a system used by companies to share important financial and business information with the public. It functions like an online filing cabinet where investors can access official reports and documents that help them understand a company's financial health and operations. This transparency allows investors to make more informed decisions, much like checking a company's report card before investing.

sedar+ regulatory

"filed with Canadian securities authorities on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca)"

SEDAR+ is Canada’s centralized online system where publicly traded companies submit required regulatory documents such as financial reports, prospectuses and disclosure statements. It gives investors a single, searchable place — like a public library or online filing cabinet — to check a company’s official records for transparency, compare performance, and verify material information before making investment decisions.

md&a financial

"annual management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") and annual information form"

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is a section of a company’s financial filing where executives explain recent results, the reasons behind changes, risks faced, and expectations for the future in plain language alongside the numbers. Investors use it like an owner’s narrative to understand the story behind the raw financial data — what drove performance, potential pitfalls, and management’s plans — helping judge whether the company’s numbers are likely to improve or worsen.

ifrs accounting standards financial

"prepares its financial statements under IFRS Accounting Standards"

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of common rules for preparing company financial reports so numbers like profit, assets and debt are presented consistently across countries. Think of them as a standardized recipe or blueprint that helps investors compare businesses the same way they would compare cars using the same list of features; consistent reporting reduces surprises and makes it easier to assess value, risk and performance.

internal control over financial reporting regulatory

"effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting."

Internal control over financial reporting is a company’s system of procedures and checks designed to make sure its financial statements are accurate and complete, like a set of guardrails and verification steps that catch mistakes or fraud before numbers are published. Investors care because strong controls make reported results more trustworthy, lower the risk of surprise restatements or regulatory problems, and give greater confidence when valuing the company or comparing it to peers.

adjusted ebitda financial

"Adjusted EBITDA fell to $56 million from $673 million in 2024."

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
