Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
911
In order to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's financial results, this presentation contains "Non-GAAP
financial measures" under the rules of the SEC. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure that represents earnings (loss)
before income taxes, interest (income) and other, write-off of deferred financing costs, interest expense, amortization of stock-based
compensation, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation expense, estimated contract settlement costs, settlement of intellectual
property litigation, acquisition plan expenses, restructuring costs, COVID-19 related costs, strategic emerging technology costs (for next-
generation satellite technology), facility exit costs and strategic alternatives analysis expenses and other. The Company's definition of
Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the definition of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA used by other companies and therefore may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure frequently requested by the
Company's investors and analysts. The Company believes that investors and analysts may use Adjusted EBITDA, along with other
information contained in its SEC filings, in assessing the Company's performance and comparability of its results with other companies.
The Company's Non-GAAP financial measures for consolidated operating income, net income and net income per diluted share reflect the
GAAP measures as reported, adjusted for certain items as described in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
section of this presentation. These Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool as they exclude the financial impact
of transactions necessary to conduct the Company's business, such as the granting of equity compensation awards, and are not intended
to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures are adjusted as described in the
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP section, but these adjustments should not be construed as an inference that all of these adjustments
or costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a
substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors are advised to carefully review the GAAP
financial results that are disclosed in the Company's SEC filings.
The Company has not quantitatively reconciled its fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA target to the most directly comparable GAAP measure
because items such as stock-based compensation, adjustments to the provision for income taxes, amortization of intangibles, interest
expense and estimated proxy solicitation costs, which are specific items that impact these measures, have not yet occurred, are out of the
Company's control, or cannot be predicted. For example, quantification of stock-based compensation expense requires inputs such as the
number of shares granted and market price that are not currently ascertainable. Accordingly, reconciliations to the Non-GAAP forward
looking metrics are not available without unreasonable effort and such unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the
Company's financial results.
