"Our businesses continue to recover rapidly throughout fiscal 2022 as highlighted by our total year-to-date revenue increasing by 18% to $52.67 million as compared to $44.80 million in the same period of the last fiscal year," commented Toby Chu, Chairman, President, and CEO of CIBT. "Our international educational and rental housing revenues experienced significant growth of 225% and 84%, respectively. In addition, we captured the strongest growth in our international school segment as it grew from $1.998 million to $6.496 million, highlighting a strong recovery in the international education sector, with more international students returning to Canada to complete their studies. Corresponding to the surge of international students arriving in Canada, our housing rental revenue increased by 84%, from $6.678 million to $12.257 million. Our Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS) increased 39% from $10.747 million to $14.964 million. Total assets increased from $519.039 million to $532.817 million, an increase of $13.778 million or 3% with minimal changes to our total liabilities.

"Since the beginning of April 2022, most of our rental properties are operating at near full capacity with rental rates higher than pre-COVID levels," continued Mr. Chu. "Most notably, our GEC® Granville hotel business has had a high occupancy rate since the beginning of March. Based on current bookings, the hotel has almost no vacancy throughout the remainder of the summer. Overall, the Average Daily Rate reached historically high levels."

According to a Globe and Mail newspaper report (*a) published on July 5, 2022, " CIBC economists Benjamin Tal and Katherine Judge said Canada is undercounting housing demand by close to 500,000 households, including students, immigrants as well as other non-permanent residents ". The report also quoted " average asking rate for properties available on Rentals.ca, a national rental listing site, reached $1,888 a month in May - a 3.7-per-cent jump from April and a 10.5-per-cent increase over the same month last year."

Toby Chu added, "The significant shortage of rental housing supply, highlighted by Metro Vancouver's low rental vacancy rate of 1.2% for purpose-built rental properties and 0.8% for condo rental properties (*b) , coupled with increasing demand and double-digit price increases, continued to create strong demand for the Company's rental portfolio during Q3 2022."

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

The Company has included non-IFRS performance measures throughout this press release, including (a) Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (" EBITDA "); (b) Adjusted EBITDA which is EBITDA adjusted for the gain (loss) on change in fair value of the Company's investment properties and the gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative instruments; and (c) Book Value per Share (" BVPS ") which is calculated as equity attributable to CIBT Education Group Inc. shareholders divided by total common shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period. Gross profit for the Company is the difference between revenue and direct costs of sales. These non-IFRS financial measurements do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (" IFRS ") and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, these performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management uses EBITDA metrics to measure the profit trends of the business units and segments in the consolidated group since it eliminates the effects of financing decisions. Certain investors, analysts and others utilize these non-IFRS financial metrics in assessing the Company's financial performance. These non-IFRS financial measurements have not been presented as an alternative to net income or any other financial measure of performance prescribed by IFRS. Reconciliation of non-IFRS measures has been provided throughout the Company's MD&A, as applicable, filed under the Company's profile on www.SEDAR.COM.
