SPECIFIED FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER MEASURES

The Trust’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). In this press release, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Trust discloses and discusses certain specified financial measures, including adjusted net asset value and adjusted net asset value per unit. These specified financial measures are not defined by or recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. The Trust has presented such specified financial measures as management believes they are relevant measures of our underlying operating performance. Specified financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to unitholders’ equity or comparable metrics determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Trust’s performance and profitability. Certain additional disclosures such as the composition, usefulness and changes as applicable are expressly incorporated by reference from the Trust’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2022 in the section titled “Specified Financial Measures and Other Disclosures”, which has been filed and is available on SEDAR+ under the Trust’s profile.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

“Adjusted net asset value (“Adjusted NAV”)”, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents total unitholders’ equity per the condensed consolidated financial statements (the most directly comparable financial measure), adjusted for market value adjustments for equity accounted investments (including applicable deferred income tax adjustments). The market value adjustments account for the applicable deferred income tax estimates considering the timing of their realization and, if appropriate, will be incorporated into the determination of the Adjusted NAV. The applicable deferred income tax estimates related to the market value adjustments are calculated either based on income or capital gain rates or a combination thereof. The income tax rates used to determine Adjusted NAV are dependent on various factors such as anticipated development plans, stage of development and current market trends applicable to the future development plans, and will be reviewed on a regular basis and are subject to change. Excluded from the Adjusted NAV calculation are any market value adjustments with respect to liabilities as well as commitments/contracts that are not otherwise recorded as liabilities on the Trust’s condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The Trust has not appraised the lending portfolio, as the Trust intends to hold certain investments in the lending portfolio until maturity and its term to maturity is over the next one to five years; as such, this portfolio is considered fairly liquid. This non-GAAP measure is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating the Trust’s and Asset Manager’s performance as it is an indicator of the intrinsic value of the Trust; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of Adjusted NAV to unitholders’ equity, the most directly comparable financial measure, as of June 30, 2023 can be found in the table above.

NON-GAAP RATIOS

“Adjusted net asset value (“NAV”) per unit” represents the Adjusted NAV (a non-GAAP financial measure) of the Trust divided by the number of units outstanding at the end of the period. This non-GAAP ratio is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating the Trust’s performance as it is an indicator of the intrinsic value of the Trust; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of Adjusted NAV to unitholders’ equity, the most directly comparable financial measure, as of June 30, 2023 can be found in the table above.

KELOWNA, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Amid the devastation caused by the Kelowna and Shuswap wildfires, Greenspan Adjusters International announced today that its team of public adjusters is on the ground in British Columbia and ready to support displaced families and business owners to ensure they are armed with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the laborious insurance claims process.

“Being here in BC, we’re witnessing the destruction firsthand,” said Steve Severaid, Greenspan Adjusters International President. “We mourn the toll this disaster will take on families and local business owners for years to come. Even after these good and hardworking people have suffered tremendous losses, they are left with the strenuous battle of dealing with insurance claims.”

The 2023 wildfire season in British Columbia has now officially surpassed the 2018 season as the most destructive ever recorded according to area burned. With over 2 million hectares burned, 200 structures destroyed, and fires continuing to burn throughout the province, there is still no end in sight. The community will be in a state of rebuilding for years, with financial losses to B.C. forecasted to exceed $1.5 billion.

“The scope of this is beyond what I’ve seen before, and I’ve witnessed a lot of natural disasters,” Severaid said. “With ten times more land burned already this year than in all of 2022 and with fires still raging, it’s simply unprecedented. We know how frustrating, difficult, and financially debilitating it can be for homeowners and business owners to face their insurance companies after wildfires like these. We want to make sure their policies are assessed thoroughly, and their subsequent claims managed quickly, adequately, and seamlessly.”

“What is most critical,” Severaid continued, “is that policyholders advocate for their best interests by being represented by their own private adjuster. Insurance company adjusters have a conflict of interest in that they cannot fairly represent both their principal – the insurance company – and you at the same time. Most people do not know that, without the guidance of an insurance professional fighting on your behalf, not only can the claims process be overwhelming — but you may not be guaranteed an optimal payout or even an adequate claim.”

Public adjusters manage the claims of homeowners, businesses, and commercial property owners, providing much-needed support following tragedies and assist their clients in negotiating optimal settlements that they are entitled to from their insurance companies. Public adjusters work independently of insurance companies, which deploy their own teams of adjusters to mitigate their financial exposure.

Greenspan Adjusters International is offering complimentary policy and situation reviews and can provide a roadmap for recovery that addresses the particulars of each policyholder’s situation. Anyone in need can receive this benefit at any time by phone, zoom, or in-person at no cost. In that spirit, Greenspan will also host live town halls on Thursday, September 7 and Thursday, September 14 at 6 pm to teach home and business owners affected by the Kelowna and Shuswap wildfires how to best navigate the insurance claims process. Affected individuals seeking additional information about their claims process, coverage and potential payout should bring a copy of their insurance policy with them so a member of the Greenspan team can provide a complimentary review and analysis on-site. People who are not able to attend can still reach out to Greenspan Adjusters International at any of the contacts below to receive this no-cost review.

Bobcat fans voted to decide the winner of the $25K backyard makeover, and the opportunity to meet country music superstar Justin Moore

WEST FARGO, N.D.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The votes are tallied, and Bobcat Company is thrilled to announce the winner of the Bobcat Backyard Makeover Contest is Julie Rummer from Turlock, Calif.

Julie will receive a $25,000 backyard makeover using Bobcat equipment to transform her backyard and garden. She will also have the opportunity to meet country music superstar – and Bobcat enthusiast – Justin Moore.

Five finalists were selected based on the originality and creativity in their contest entry submission, as well as sharing the impact of how a backyard makeover would empower them to accomplish more. Julie’s powerful story received the most votes from the public.

Julie survived an auto accident in 1995 that left her paralyzed as a quadriplegic. She is now wheelchair dependent, and often encounters challenges maneuvering in her backyard. While she loves to garden, the dirt and weeds often get stuck in her wheelchair. She would like to makeover her backyard and make it wheelchair accessible so she can be outdoors more often, which she says helps her forget her mobility limitations.

“We are thrilled to announce Julie Rummer as the winner of the Bobcat Backyard Makeover Contest and can’t wait to bring her backyard dreams to life,” said Laura Ness Owens, vice president of global brand and communications and North American marketing. “At Bobcat, we are committed to empowering people to conquer their biggest challenges, and we are proud to help Julie in her pursuits by enhancing her backyard.”

Julie and her husband love to entertain family, friends and neighbors at their home. They have dreamt of making improvements to their yard – both visually and to make it more wheelchair-friendly – but haven’t had the time or money.

“Gardening is one of my biggest passions and being outdoors makes me forget my daily limitations. I am so incredibly grateful to Bobcat for this opportunity to create a completely accessible yard that will allow me the garden of my dreams,” said Julie. “I’ve been brought to tears at the thought of winning this contest. The kindness, love and support from my family, friends, neighbors and total strangers has filled my heart.”

In addition to the backyard makeover, Julie will have the opportunity to meet Justin Moore as he joins the Bobcat team in the renovation project. Moore has been a brand ambassador for Bobcat Company since 2021. As an owner and operator of multiple pieces of Bobcat equipment, including a compact loader and compact tractor, Moore keeps busy on his 80-acre property in Arkansas.

In addition to meeting Moore, Julie will work with an area landscape contractor and her local Bobcat dealer to plan and create her dream backyard.

“Bobcat is known for empowering people and in my case, they are helping me to enjoy more sunshine and time in my happy place – my backyard,” said Julie. “Thank you for your generosity and commitment to lifting people up and helping me find a new path.”
