Certain Unaudited Financial Projections
This Presentation contains certain unaudited projected financial information of Clever Leaves. These projections have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. Clever Leaves'
independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections and does not express an opinion on or any
form of assurance related to the projections. The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and many of which are beyond the control of
Clever Leaves. Additionally, the projections are inherently forward looking and span multiple years. Consequently, the projections, as with all forward-looking information, become subject to
greater unpredictability and uncertainty with each successive year. The assumptions upon which the projections were based necessarily involve judgments with respect to, among other
things, future economic, competitive and regulatory conditions and financial market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict or estimate and most of which are beyond
Clever Leaves' control. The projections also reflect assumptions regarding the continuing nature of certain business decisions that, in reality, would be subject to change. See "Forward-Looking
Statements" above. In addition, the achievability of the forecast assuming incremental THC sales assumes the expansion of cultivation facilities in Portugal, utilization of all of the existing 16
hectares in Colombia, a significant increase in sales, receipt of licenses, quotas or other regulatory approvals to sell the projected volumes as well the opening up of the global markets for
export of cannabis from Colombia into key end markets, which would create the opportunity to sell additional high THC extract. However, the timing and the extent to which this opportunity
materializes is outside of Clever Leaves' the Company's control. If the full quota is not utilized, Clever Leaves will not achieve any or all incremental THC sales.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projections will be realized and actual results may vary materially from those projected. The inclusion of summaries of the projections in this
document should not be regarded as an indication that Clever Leaves or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or other representatives considered or consider the projections to be
necessarily predictive of actual future events or results of Clever Leaves' operations, and, consequently, the projections should not be relied on in such a manner. Neither Clever Leaves nor
any of its affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or other representatives can give any assurance that actual results will not differ from the projections, and neither Clever Leaves nor any of its
affiliates undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile the projections to reflect circumstances existing or developments and events occurring after the date of the
projections or that may occur in the future, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are not realized. Clever Leaves does not intend to make available
publicly any update or other revision to the projections, except as otherwise required by law. None of Clever Leaves nor any of its affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or other representatives
has made or makes any representation to any Clever Leaves shareholder or other person regarding the ultimate performance of Clever Leaves compared to the information contained in the
projections or that the projections will be achieved. In light of the foregoing factors and the uncertainties inherent in the projections, Clever Leaves' shareholders are cautioned not to place
undue, if any, reliance on the information presented in the projections.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this presentation, Clever Leaves refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross
Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income/loss from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, restructuring expenses,
foreign exchange gain/loss, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt, gain/loss on remeasurement of warrant liability, equity investment share of gain/loss, other expense/income and
income/loss from discontinued operations. Adjusted Gross Profit (and the related Adjusted Gross Margin measure) is defined as gross profit excluding inventory provision. Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin also exclude the impact of certain non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the underlying operating performance. Clever
Leaves considers Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to be meaningful indicators of the performance of its core business. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit
and Adjusted Gross Margin should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For reconciliations of Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, see the relevant schedules provided with this presentation. We have not
provided or reconciled the non-GAAP forward-looking information to their corresponding GAAP measures because the exact amounts for these items are not currently determinable without
unreasonable efforts but may be significant.
