Quest® Methodology
Quest® is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative algorithms and value calculations to derive a number of corporate performance and valuation metrics, including assigning a Default Quest® value per share and generating a triAngle Score, which is a relative ranking based on a number of operational and valuation metrics. These algorithms and value calculations are consistently applied to all the companies included in the Quest® database. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of default variables and incorporated into the algorithms. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided by outside data vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. These adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national borders. As the thirdparty data are updated, the triAngle Score generated by Quest®, and the Default Quest® value per share may change. The default variables may also be adjusted by the user to produce alternative values, any of which could occur. Additional information about the Quest® methodology is available on request.
Risks to Quest® Value Per Share
Quest® valuation uses a set of future assumptions to generate a discounted cash flow valuation for each company. These are based either on a combination of consensus forecasts, default Quest® algorithms and any adjustments which the author has made as defined within this note. The key risks to this scenario centre around whether the forecasts and assumptions used will be validated over time. This includes the effects of the macro economic environment, changes to political landscape in the company’s markets and exchange rate fluctuations. Aside from this, the competitive landscape in the industry may change, influencing the company’s ability to sustain its level of cash flow returns. The company’s own execution of it strategy may also be influential. In addition, any unforeseen change in the company’s strategic objectives to the extent that they change the company’s assets, the financial structure of the company and the cash flow generated.
Past performance
In line with Article 44(4)(b), MiFID II Delegated Regulation, we disclose price performance for the preceding five years or the whole period for which the financial instrument has been offered or investment service provided where less than five years.
Please note price history refers to actual past performance, and that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future price and/or performance.

Short-Term Trade Ideas
Authoring Analysts may discuss “short-term trade ideas” in research reports. A short-term trade idea offers a near-term view on how a security may trade, based on market and trading events or catalysts, and the resulting trading opportunity that may be available. Separately, Canaccord Genuity may offer fundamental research on such securities. Any such trading strategies discussed in research reports are distinct from and do not affect the Canaccord Genuity research analysts' fundamental equity rating for such stocks. A short-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports that reflect the research analyst's views of the longer-term (i.e. one-year or greater) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons, methodologies and/or other factors. It is possible, for example, that a subject company's common equity that is considered a long-term ‘Hold' or 'Sell' might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure in the market or for other reasons described in the research report; conversely, a subject company's stock rated a long-term 'Buy' or “Speculative Buy’ could be considered susceptible to a downward price correction, or other factors may exist that lead the research analyst to suggest a sale over the short-term. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and the firm does not intend, and does not undertake any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade ideas are not suitable for all investors and are not tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and investors should make their own independent decisions regarding any securities or strategies discussed herein. Please contact your salesperson for more information regarding Canaccord Genuity’s research.
