About this Presentation

This investor presentation (this "Presentation") relates to a proposed business combination (the "Business Combination") between dMY Technology Group, Inc. IV ("dMY") and Planet Labs, Inc. (the "Company"). The information contained herein does not purport to be all-inclusive and none
of dMY, the Company or their respective affiliates or representatives makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information contained in this Presentation.
This Presentation does not constitute (i) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Business Combination or (ii) an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase any security of dMY, the
Company, or any of their respective affiliates. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Presentation may be considered "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements generally relate to our current expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, strategies or projections about future events or dMY's or the
Company's future financial or operating performance. For example, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which the Company operates and anticipated growth in demand for the Company's services, projections of the Company's future financial results and other metrics
and ownership of the combined company following the closing of the Business Combination are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "pro forma," "may," "should," "could," "might," "plan," "possible," "project," "strive,"
"budget," "forecast," "expect," "intend," "will," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "predict," "potential" or "continue," or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-
looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. You should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by dMY and its management, and the Company and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially
from current expectations include, but are not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
dMY, the Company, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of dMY, to obtain
financing to complete the Business Combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing; changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the
Business Combination; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the
Business Combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers
and retain its management and key employees; costs related to the Business Combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, or competitive factors; the Company's
estimates of expenses and profitability; the evolution of the markets in which the Company competes; the ability of the Company to implement its strategic initiatives and continue to innovate its existing services; the ability of the Company to defend its intellectual property; the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in dMY's final prospectus dated March 4, 2021 relating to its initial public offering and those risk
factors relating to the Company's business identified in the appendix to this Presentation.
dMY and the Company caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Nothing in this Presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-
looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither dMY nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.
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. Such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in the registration statement to be filed by dMY relating to the
Business Combination and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein.
This Presentation also includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including non-GAAP Gross Profit, non-GAAP Gross Margin, Adjusted free cash flow, Adjusted free cash flow margin, Adjusted EBITDA and
certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. The Company defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit plus stock-based compensation classified as cost of goods, and non-GAAP gross margin as the percentage of non-GAAP gross profit relative to net revenue during a given
period. The Company defines Adjusted free cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, and Adjusted free cash flow margin as the percentage of Adjusted free cash flow relative to net revenue during a given period. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss)
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the
Company's financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company's presentation of
these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. dMY and the Company believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to
the Company's financial condition and results of operations. dMY and the Company believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing the Company's financial
measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are
excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.
This Presentation also includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not
being ascertainable or accessible, dMY and the Company are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP
measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.
Use of Projections
This Presentation contains financial forecasts for the Company with respect to certain financial results for the Company. Neither dMY's nor Company's independent auditors have audited, studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the
purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. These projections are forward-looking statements and should not be relied upon as being
necessarily indicative of future results. In this Presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently
uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective
results are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any
person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.
Industry and Market Data
In this Presentation, dMY and the Company rely on and refer to certain information and statistics obtained from third-party sources which they believe to be reliable. Neither dMY nor the Company has independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third-party information.
Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of the Company and dMY which are derived from their respective reviews of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. This Presentation contains preliminary information only, is subject to change at any time
and, is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or to constitute all the information necessary to adequately make an informed decision regarding your engagement with Company and dMY.

listed without the TM, SM or symbols, but dMY and the Company 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.View entire presentation
