To further assist investors, the Company is furnishing the following additional financial information, key business metrics, and data (the "Supplemental Information"). The following Supplemental Information is unaudited, has not been reviewed by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, and is subject to change. The Supplemental Information is qualified by in its entirety, and should be read in conjunction with, 1) the 2021 Financial Information, 2) the Earnings Releases, and 3) the Periodic Filings. Forge 2#3Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to its financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. The Supplemental Information includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial me ire, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding specific financial items that have less bearing on its core operating performance. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure because it helps illustrate underlying trends in its business and its historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in the Company's industry, may calculate similarly titled non- GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation is provided in the Supplemental Information for Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude: (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for or benefit from income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) share-based compensation expense, (v) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, (vi) acquisition-related transaction costs, and (vii) other significant gains, losses, and expenses (such as impairments, transaction bonus) the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing results. Forward-Looking Statements The Supplemental Information may contain "forward-looking statements, "which generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "could," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "target," "goal," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "predict," "project," "forecast," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook," and similar expressions that predict, indicate or relate to future events or trends or the Company's future financial or operating performance, or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company's beliefs regarding its financial position and operating performance, as well as future opportunities for the Company to expand its business. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the Company's documents filed, or to be filed, with the SEC, including but not limited to the Periodic Filings. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know of or that it currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Supplemental Information. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not relied upon as representing the Company's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Supplemental Information. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
