Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented
differently in, any proxy statement, registration statement, or prospectus to be filed by Iron Spark with the SEC.
While Hypebeast's financial information was historically prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial
Reporting Standards ("HKFRS"), some financial information and data contained in this presentation are not
measures prepared in accordance with HKFRS, United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US
GAAP)" or International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
("IFRS"). EBIT is a non-HKFRS, non-US GAAP and non-IFRS financial measure that Hypebeast defines as
Operating Income plus depreciation and amortization. Iron Spark and Hypebeast believe this non-GAAP measure
of financial results provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and
business trends relating to Hypebeast's financial condition and results of operations and an additional tool for
investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Hypebeast's financial
measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Hypebeast management does not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial
measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that
it excludes significant expenses and income that is required by GAAP to be recorded in Hypebeast's financial
statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management
about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial
measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents this measure (EBIT) with the most
closely related GAAP result (net income). In addition, all Hypebeast historical financial information included herein
is preliminary and subject to change pending finalization of the fiscal year 2019 and 2020 audits of Hypebeast in
accordance with PCAOB auditing standards.
