C. Alan Smith, Chief Executive Officer stated, "Operating results throughout the past year, on a regional basis, were varied. The revenue of the Canadian operations were 12% lower in 2016 than in 2017 as a result of the continuing recession in the oil producing regions of Canada, where revenues were reduced by 26.6%.  Revenue in the United States operations expressed in US dollars, increased by 36%. The acquisition of our 27 acre operating site in Crossfield, Alberta closed on February 28, 2017, as previously announced."    

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Definitions of non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures are detailed in Section 20 of the MD&A.
