ABOUT URTHECAST CORP.

UrtheCast Corp. is a Vancouver-based technology company that serves the rapidly evolving geospatial and geoanalytics markets with a wide range of information-rich products and services.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. This release includes certain non-IFRS financial measures, such as non-IFRS revenues, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. Non-IFRS revenue excludes the non-cash revenues associated with our arrangement with our ISS partner, as it is a better indicator of cash inflows to the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated based on EBITDA, or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted to exclude the non-cash revenues and expenses associated with our arrangement with our ISS partner, share based payments expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and items of an unusual nature that do not reflect our ongoing operations. The Company uses these non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its operating performance and financial position. These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS or considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and accompanying MD&A.

Forward-looking information involves statements that relate to future events and often addresses expected future business and financial performance, containing words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", and "expect", statements that an action or event "may", "might", "could" or "will" be taken or occur, or other similar expressions and includes, but is not limited to: UrtheCast's expectations with respect its current sensors and proposed OptiSAR™ and UrtheDaily^TM constellations; updated financial guidance for the 2016 financial year and outlook for the 2017 financial year; its plans for and timing of expansion of its product offering and value-added services; its future growth and operations plans; and the acceptance by its customers and the marketplace of new satellite imaging content, technologies and solutions. Such statements reflect UrtheCast's current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by UrtheCast, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies.
