DraftKings SPAC Presentation Deck

LEGAL DISCLAIMER (CONTINUED) Use of Non-GAAP Financial Matters This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA. DEAC, DraftKings and SBT believe 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 DraftKings' and SBT's management to assess its performance and may (subject to the limitations described below) enable investors to compare the performance of the combined company to its competition. DEAC, DraftKings and SBT 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. 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. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP forward looking information to their corresponding GAAP measures cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. In addition, this presentation includes financial forecasts, including with respect to estimated EBITDA for 2020 and 2021. None of DEAC's, DraftKings' or SBT's auditors have audited, reviewed compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, none of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results.
