Because forward - looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward - looking statements as guarantees of future events. Further information on the factors, risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results and the forward - looking statements in this presentation are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will be included in subsequent periodic and current reports we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward - looking statements in this presentation represent our views as of the date of this presentation. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward - looking statements at some point in the future, we undertake no obligation to update any forward - looking statement to reflect events or developments after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward - looking statements as representing our views as of any date after the date of this presentation. Our forward - looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make. This presentation includes unaudited non - GAAP financial measures including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net cash (debt) and free cash flow. We define EBITDA, a non - GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss from continuing operations plus interest expense net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, preferred stock dividends and accretion less gain on extinguishment on series A preferred stock. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any share - based compensation expense, plus or minus any foreign currency losses or income, plus or minus any losses or gains from the sale of assets and asset impairments, plus any restructuring charges. We define net cash (debt) as total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents less the total principal amount of debt outstanding. We define free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. We present non - GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. Non - GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non - GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. See the Appendix for the reconciliations of certain non - GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures. This presentation also contains estimates and other information concerning our industry that are based on industry publications, surveys and forecasts.

Q&A Q1 2025 15

 

 

16 Appendix – Non - GAAP Financial Information This presentation includes unaudited non - GAAP financial measures including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net cash (debt) and free cas h flow. We define EBITDA, a non - GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss from continuing operations plus interest expense net, income taxes, depreciati on and amortization, preferred stock dividends and accretion less gain on extinguishment on series A preferred stock. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any sh are - based compensation expense, plus or minus any foreign currency losses or income, plus or minus any losses or gains from the sale of assets and a sse t impairments, plus any restructuring charges. We define net cash (debt) as total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents less the total principal amount of debt ou tst anding. We define free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. We present non - GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. Non - GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to si milar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non - GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. We provide forward - looking statements in the form of guidance in our quarterly earnings releases and during our quarterly earnin gs conference calls. This guidance is provided on a non - GAAP basis and cannot be reconciled to the closest GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the un predictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from non - GAAP measures. For example, stock - based compensation is unpredictable f or our performance - based awards, which can fluctuate significantly based on current expectations of future achievement of performance - based targets. Amor tization of intangible assets and restructuring costs are all impacted by the timing and size of potential future actions, which are difficult to predict. In a ddi tion, from time to time, we exclude certain items that occur infrequently, which are also inherently difficult to predict and estimate. It is also difficult to predict the tax ef fect of the items we exclude and to estimate certain discrete tax items, like the resolution of tax audits or changes to tax laws. As such, the costs that are being exclu ded from non - GAAP guidance are difficult to predict and a reconciliation or a range of results could lead to disclosure that would be imprecise or potentially misleading . M aterial changes to any one of the exclusions could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results. See next page for a reconciliation of certain non - GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures. Q1 2025
