Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which statements
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Blend's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward looking statements
because they contain words such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "could," "would," "intend," "target," "project," "contemplate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue" or the
negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern Blend's expectations, strategy, priorities, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding Blend's financial condition and operating performance, including its outlook, market size and growth opportunities, operating model, cash flows and capital expenditures, Blend's ability to generate
cash and Blend's cash needs, operating margins, plans for future operations, competitive positions, technological capabilities, strategic relationships, Blend's opportunity to increase market share and penetration in its
existing customers, Blend's ability to scale its products and relationships, projections and estimates of mortgage loan origination volumes, other macroeconomic and industry conditions, Blend's ability to improve efficiency,
Blend's addressable market, Blend's ability to create long-term value for its customers, and Blend's expectations for revenue growth and sales of its products. If any of the risks or uncertainties related to the
forward-looking statements develop or if any of the assumptions related to the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those projected, expressed, or implied by its
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in Blend's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023. All
forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on information available to Blend and assumptions and beliefs as of the date hereof, and Blend disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements,
except as required by law.
In addition to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit,
non-GAAP gross margin %, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, free cash flow and unlevered free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the related GAAP
financial measures to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation and warrant amortization expense, compensation realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of intangible assets and
goodwill, restructuring costs, litigation contingencies, and transaction-related costs. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for
financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Blend's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement
to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, in evaluating Blend's ongoing operational performance and trends, in allowing for greater transparency with respect to measures used by Blend's management in their
financial and operational decision making, and in comparing Blend's results of operations with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors
understand the operational performance of their businesses. However, it is important to note that the particular items excluded from, or included in, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded
from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. In addition, other companies may utilize metrics that are not similar to Blend's.
The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and
presented in accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures since they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in
Blend's financial statements. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this presentation for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results. Management encourages investors and others to review Blend's
financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
This presentation contains statistical data, estimates and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on Blend's internal sources.
This information involves many assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such information. Blend has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information
contained in the industry publications and other publicly available information. Accordingly, Blend makes no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of that information nor does Blend undertake to update such
information after the date of this presentation.
