SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT Certain statements contained in this presentation are "forward - looking statements." We have tried to identify these forward - look ing statements by using words such as "may," "might," " will," "expect,” "anticipate,'' "'believe,“ "could," " intend," "plan," "estimate," "should," "if,“ "project," and similar expressions. All st ate ments other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our growth strategies, our vision, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, project ed costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth and potential are forward - looking statements. We have based these forward - looking statements on our current expectations and pro jections about future events. However, these forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from our expectations and projections. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are set forth in this presentation and in other documents w e w ill file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward - looking statements. Projec tions and other forward - looking statements included in this presentation have been prepared based on assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable, but not in accordance with U.S. GAAP or any guide lin es of the SEC. Actual results may vary, perhaps materially. You are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on such projections and other forward - looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward - looking statements attributable us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Except as required by federal securities la ws, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward - looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Any such forward - looking statements, whe ther made in this presentation or elsewhere, should be considered in the context of the various disclosures made by us about our businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed abo ve. In addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this presentation includes a presentation of EBITDA and Adjust ed EBITDA, which are non - GAAP financial measures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because they are important measures used by management to assess financial performance, as management be lie ves they provide a more transparent view of the Company’s underlying operating performance and operating trends. Reconciliations of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presente d w here applicable. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before acqu isi tion - related expenses, bargain purchase gain, loss on disposition or impairment, and stock - based compensation expenses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flows from operat ion s, as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as measures of financial performance and the abi lit y to meet debt service requirements, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculati on. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC.
