The recipient agrees and acknowledges that this presentation is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision by the recipient and does not constitute financial investment, tax or legal advice. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be given by Embark or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees or advisers or any other person as to the accuracy or completeness of the information (including as to the accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of statements, estimates, targets, projections, assumptions or judgments) in this presentation or in any other written, oral or other communications transmitted or otherwise made available to any party in the course of its evaluation of a possible transaction and no responsibility or liability whatsoever is accepted for the accuracy or sufficiency thereof or for any errors, omissions or misstatements, negligent or otherwise, relating thereto. The recipient also acknowledges and agrees that the information contained in this presentation is preliminary in nature and is subject to change, and any such changes may be material. Embark disclaims any duty to update the information contained in this presentation. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are all statements the Company makes other than those dealing specifically with historical matters. Please refer to the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2022, Form S-1 filed on June 1, 2022, and other documents filed with the SEC from time to time for additional factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from current expectations. The forward-looking statements included in this presentation are valid only as of today's date except where otherwise noted. Embark undertakes no obligation to update these statements. Industry, Market Data and Partnerships In this presentation, Embark relies on and refers to certain information and statistics regarding the markets and industries in which Embark competes. Such information and statistics are based on management's estimates and/or obtained from third-party sources, including reports by market research firms and company filings. While Embark believes such third-party information is reliable, there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of the indicated information. Embark has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by the third-party sources. This presentation contains descriptions of certain key business partnerships with Embark. These descriptions are based on the Embark management team's discussion with such counterparties, certain non-binding written agreements and the latest available information and estimates as of the date of this presentation. These descriptions are subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements with certain of such counterparties which have not been completed as of the date of this presentation, unless specified otherwise. Trademarks This presentation may contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners, and Embark's use thereof does not imply an affiliation with, or endorsement by, the owners of such trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights. Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this presentation may be listed without the TM, Ⓒor Ⓒ symbols, but Embark and its affiliates will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, the rights of the applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (including on a forward-looking basis) such as Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Spend. Embark defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted for interest income/expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities and other one-time items. Embark defines Free Cash Flow as net cash used in operating activities, adjusted for capital expenditures including truck deposits, net of returns. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash used in operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterparts are included in the Appendix to this presentation. Embark believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Embark. Embark's management uses forward looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate Embark's projected financial and operating performance. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Embark's non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
