Important Disclaimers Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements in this presentation relate to, without limitation: our future results of operations and financial position, including our expectations regarding Marketplace GOV, Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, cash conversion and the impact of our investments; our expectations with respect to live event industry growth; our competitive positioning; our business strategy; the planned acquisition of Wavedash; and the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Words such as "estimate," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "forecast," "plan," "intend," "believe," "seek," "may," "will," "should," "future" and "propose," as well as similar expressions which predict or indicate future events or which do not relate to historical matters, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are outside of our control. Important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the supply and demand of large-scale sporting events, concerts and theater shows; our relationships with buyers, sellers and distribution partners; changes in internet search engine algorithms or in marketplace rules; competition in the ticketing industry; the willingness of artists, teams and promoters to continue to support the secondary ticket market; our ability to maintain and improve our platform and brand or to develop successful new solutions and enhancements or improve existing ones; the impact of potential unfavorable legislative developments; the successful completion of our acquisition and integration of Wavedash; the effects of any recession and inflation; ongoing and future effects of pandemics; our ability to generate sufficient cash flows or raise additional capital necessary to fund our operations; the impact of system interruption and the lack of integration and redundancy in our systems and infrastructure; the impact of cyber security risks, data loss or other breaches of our network security; our being a controlled company; and other factors detailed in the "Risk Factors" sections of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward- looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures, because they are measures frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe these measures are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because they exclude the impact of items that are outside the control of management or not reflective of ongoing performance related directly to the operation of our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are key measures used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for making period-to-period comparisons of our business performance and highlighting trends in our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all amounts associated with our operating results as determined in accordance with GAAP and may exclude recurring costs, such as interest expense, equity-based compensation, litigation, settlements and related costs and change in value of warrants. In addition, other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than us, thereby limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures. See the "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" section of this presentation for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. Vividseats
