The data contained herein is derived from various internal and external sources and is based on information available as of the date hereof. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other information contained herein. Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance. Skillz assumes no obligation to update any information in this Investor Presentation, except as required by law. Industry and Market Data This presentation includes information and statistics regarding market participants in the sectors in which Skillz competes and other industry data which was obtained from third-party sources, including reports by market research firms and company filings. Trademarks This presentation may contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this presentation may be listed without the TM, SMⒸ or ® symbols, but Skillz 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 Measures This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures. Skillz believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for two principal reasons. First, they believe these measures may assist investors in comparing performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance. Second, these measures are used by Skillz's management to assess its performance. Skillz believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore such financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Forward Looking Statements and Investment Considerations This presentation also contains forward-looking statements, which may be identified by such words as "may", "plans", "expects", "believes", "anticipates" and similar expressions, or by their context. These statements are made on the basis of current knowledge and, by their nature, involve numerous assumptions and uncertainties. Nothing set forth herein should be regarded as a representation, warranty, or prediction that Skillz will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular future result. Various factors could cause actual future results, performance or events to differ materially from those described herein. Some of the factors that may impact future results and performance may include, without limitation, the ability of Skillz to: effectively compete in the global entertainment and gaming industries; attract and retain successful relationships with the third party developers that develop and update all of the games hosted on Skillz's platform; comply with laws and regulations applicable to its business; as well as other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company's SEC filings, including those under "Risk Factors" therein, which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Each investor must conduct and rely on its own evaluation, including of the associated risks, in making an investment decision. skillz
