Presidents Message
2015 was another record year for Alaris. The Corporation was able to show another year of strong growth, with revenue up 20% and Normalized EBITDA up by 21.5%, while continuing to provide a low volatility free cash flow stream to our shareholders. This continued growth allowed us to increase our dividends twice during 2015 - our ninth and tenth dividend increases since the summer of 2010.
At the heart of this financial performance are preferred revenue streams from a group of 16 (and counting) private companies that are diverse in their businesses and geographies such that our shareholders can be confident in our dividend stream even when the economy is not firing on all cylinders. Only two of our private company partners represent more than 10% of our revenue and given that our dividend only represents less than 80% of our monthly EBITDA, this provides safety to weather life's inevitable storms. Our defensive way of investing and our careful selection of partners is essential but as with any form of investing, diversification is the most important element of risk reduction.
The double edged sword of diversification is that the more partners you have in your portfolio, the more likely it is that some of them will, from time to time, encounter operational issues. Alaris' management and board continue to work with the few partners in our portfolio that are having challenges to find solutions to both short-term as well as fundamental long-term issues. Our ability to navigate through these issues have led to very positive outcomes in the past for companies like Labstat and LMS and we feel that similarly positive outcomes are likely for SM and Kimco. We are pleased to have reached a tentative agreement with the management of KMH in a very challenging situation and we also expect a positive outcome for Alaris shareholders from that strategic process.
The Alaris portfolio continues to perform admirably. Based on 2015 results, the average organic growth of the annual distributions across the portfolio grew by an estimated 2.1% (using a weighted average), which is our sixth straight year of organic growth as the majority of our portfolio continues to operate at or above expectations. It should also be noted that if you add up all of the private companies that have exited our company over the years, taking all of the good and the bad (and including the partial write off of KMH), our net result is a gain of $31 million and including distributions taken out along the way, that number is $169 million - a net gain of nearly 80% on invested capital. Whether calculated by annual financial results, tracking of organic distribution resets or through full investment cycle gains, we are very proud of the track record that we have created over our twelve year history.
Moving forward, the environment for capital deployment that not only powers our diversification but also our growth rate has improved substantially over the course of the last six months. The last few years has seen an overheated market for private equity fueled by access to inexpensive and large amounts of senior debt, particularly in the US. The debt markets have tightened considerably in the last few months and has made alternative financiers such as Alaris even more attractive. While we still do not see any direct competitors in our market place, the normalized behavior of other types of capital providers is contributing to a very robust outlook for 2016. Even in a highly competitive environment in 2015, Alaris set a new record for capital deployment in 2015 of $178.2 million and based on our current pipeline of opportunities, I would expect another very strong year in 2016.
Financial Results:
The Corporation deployed a record $178.2 million CAD of capital in 2015 through contributions to three new Partners; DNT Construction, LLC ("DNT"), Federal Resources Supply Company ("Federal Resources") and MAHC Holdings, LLC ("MAHC") as well as follow on investments into two current Partners: PF Growth Partners, LLC ("Planet Fitness") and Kimco Holdings, LLC ("Kimco"). Due to the accretive nature of each of these transactions as well as steady organic growth of existing cash flows, Alaris increased its monthly dividend twice during the year to a current annualized rate of $1.62 per share with $1.565 per share paid in 2015, a total increase of 6.1% over dividends paid in 2014 on a per share basis.
Subsequent to December 31, 2015, the Corporation had all of its preferred units in LifeMark Health Limited Partnership ("LifeMark") redeemed in exchange for $30 million in cash and an $8.4 million promissory note from Centric Health Corporation ("Centric"). Centric sold all the assets in LifeMark on December 31, 2015 and in connection with the sale, the Corporation had requested a redemption of a significant portion of the LifeMark units. Alaris had originally contributed $67.5 million to LifeMark beginning in 2004. Since that date Alaris collected $77.2 million in distributions and has redeemed all of its units for total proceeds of $123.4 million for total gross return of $200.6 million or 297%.
Alaris has continued to see increases in its four key performance metrics of revenue, Normalized EBITDA, net cash from operating activities and dividends on a per share basis in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as a result of strong organic growth and accretive investments into new private company partners (the Corporation uses Normalized EBITDA rather than EBITDA to back out the non-cash foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as gains and losses on the redemption or sale of the Corporation`s financial interest in partners no longer with Alaris).

For the year ended December 31, 2015, revenues from partners increased 19.5% to $82.8 million from $69.3 million in 2014, a 7.2% increase on a per share basis. Over the same period, the Corporation recorded earnings of $57.9 million, EBITDA of $75.6 million and Normalized EBITDA of $69.7 million, compared to earnings of $49.0 million, EBITDA of $62.7 million and Normalized EBITDA of $57.4 million in the prior year. The increase in earnings and EBITDA can be attributed predominantly to the addition of new partners in DNT (June 2015) and Federal Resources (July 2015) and follow on contributions to Planet Fitness and Kimco.

Operational Update
For further details on all Private Company Partners, please review the "Partner Company Update" section of the MD&A filed today under Alaris' profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), or the Corporation's website. Brief updates include:
- Alaris now collects 67% of its revenue from US based Partners
- Of the 33% from Canadian Partners, only 4% is derived from Partners generating the majority of their revenue from Western Canada (LMS), a significant portion of LMS' revenue is from infrastructure projects
- Only two revenue streams account for more than 10% of total revenue
- Companies representing 42% of total annualized revenue hit the top end of their performance metric collars based on 2015 fiscal year
- Companies representing 45% of total annualized revenue were relatively flat from a performance metric perspective based on 2015 fiscal year
- Companies representing 13% of total annualized revenue hit the lower end of the performance metric collars based on 2015 fiscal year
- KMH - The strategic process at KMH has taken much longer than anticipated but the Corporation has recently reached an agreement in principle with KMH management on a transaction that would see Alaris receive approximately $35 million in value for its preferred units consisting of between $15 and $20 million in cash and the remainder in a note payable or some other form of negotiated future compensation. The Corporation expects a letter of intent to be signed in the near term with the timing to close to be determined between all parties involved, with the expectation that it will close as soon as commercially possible. Given the length of the process thus far and the fact that the Corporation is not counting on any distributions from KMH to support its cash flows or earnings, the Corporation will no longer attempt to estimate timelines for the process and will provide an update when a resolution has been finalized.
Outlook
Alaris' agreements with its Partners provide for estimated revenues to Alaris of approximately $95 million for the 2016 fiscal year. Revenues from our Partners for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are expected to be approximately $23.4 million. Annual general and administrative expenses are currently estimated at $7.5 million annually and include all public company costs. Cash requirements after earnings are expected to remain at minimal levels. The Corporation's annualized payout ratio is at approximately 80% today.

About the Corporation:
Alaris provides alternative financing to the Private Company Partners ("Partners") in exchange for royalties or distributions with the principal objective of generating stable and predictable cash flows for dividend payments to its shareholders. Royalties or distributions from the Private Company Partners are structured as a percentage of a "top line" financial performance measure such as gross margin and same-store sales and rank in priority to the owners' common equity position.
Non-IFRS Measures
The terms EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA and Annualized Payout Ratio are financial measures used in this news release that are not standard measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Corporation's method of calculating EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA and Annualized Payout ratio may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, the Corporation's EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA and Annualized Payout Ratio may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Annualized Payout Ratio: Annualized payout ratio refers to Alaris' total annualized dividend per share expected to be paid over the next twelve months divided by the estimated net cash from operating activities per share Alaris expects to generate over the same twelve-month period (after giving effect to the impact of all information disclosed as of the date of this report).
EBITDA refers to net earnings (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS, before depreciation and amortization, net of gain or loss on disposal of capital assets, interest expense and income tax expense. EBITDA is used by management and many investors to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management believes EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine the Corporation's ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, income taxes and dividends. The Corporation has provided a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA in this news release.
Normalized EBITDA refers to EBITDA excluding items that are non-recurring in nature and is calculated by adjusting for non-recurring expenses and gains to EBITDA. Management deems non-recurring items to be unusual and/or infrequent items that the Corporation incurs outside of its common day-to-day operations. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the gain on the redemption of the Killick units, bad debt expense, impairment of investments and the unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are considered by management to be non-recurring charges. Adjusting for these non-recurring items allows management to assess EBITDA from ongoing operations.
The terms EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA should only be used in conjunction with the Corporation's annual audited and quarterly reviewed financial statements, excerpts of which are available below, while complete versions are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Management of Alaris has also assumed that capital markets will remain stable and that the Canadian and U.S. dollar trading pair will remain in a range of approximately plus or minus 10% over the next 6 months. In determining expectations for economic growth, management of Alaris primarily considers historical economic data provided by the Canadian and U.S. governments and their agencies.
