Aimia Statement on Impact of Brexit Vote - Impact From Currency Fluctuations Not Expected to Be Material

MONTREAL, June 24, 2016

MONTREAL, June 24, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Aimia Inc. (TSX: AIM), the data-driven marketing and loyalty analytics company, said today that declines in the GBP/CAD exchange rate would be unlikely to have a material mid-term impact on the company's financial results.

In the near term, the company expects a period of uncertainty to prevail in the U.K. as the government determines its position with respect to the EU. Over the longer term, the company will evaluate the impact, if any, of the U.K.'s move to leave the EU to the business climate, regulatory environment, and trade flows.

In the U.K., Aimia owns and operates Nectar, the largest loyalty coalition program in the country, serving U.K. members, along with data analytics businesses. Aimia has limited financial exposure in EU countries outside the U.K.

"We do not expect a material impact on Adjusted EBITDA or Free Cash Flow from a weaker pound, as the pressure on gross billings and operating costs from our U.K. business when the pound falls is counterbalanced by a reduction in costs related to global product development work that is also done in London," said Rupert Duchesne, Group Chief Executive, Aimia.
