Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Blend's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward looking statements because they contain words such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "could," "would," "intend," "target," "project," "contemplate," "believe,"
"estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern Blend's expectations, strategy, priorities, plans or intentions. Forward-looking
statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Blend's financial condition and operating performance, including its outlook, market size and growth opportunities,
competitive positions, and strategic relationships. If any of the risks or uncertainties related to the forward-looking statements develop or if any of the assumptions related to the forward-looking statements
prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those projected, expressed, or implied by our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are also
subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in Blend's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 2021, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that will be filed following this presentation. All forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on
information available to Blend and assumptions and beliefs as of the date hereof, and Blend disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
In addition to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP
gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, and non-GAAP net loss. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude non-cash
stock-based compensation and warrant amortization expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-recurring acquisition-related costs, and non-recurring income tax expenses or benefits related to
acquisitions. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Blend's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP financial
measures, in evaluating Blend's ongoing operational performance and trends, in allowing for greater transparency with respect to measures used by Blend's management in their financial and operational
decision making, and in comparing Blend's results of operations with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the
operational performance of their businesses. However, it is important to note that the particular items excluded from, or included in, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded
from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. In addition, other companies may utilize metrics that are not similar to Blend's.
The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information
prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures since they exclude significant expenses and income that are required
by GAAP to be recorded in Blend's financial statements. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this presentation for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results. Management encourages
investors and others to review Blend's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
This presentation contains statistical data, estimates and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on Blend's
internal sources. This information involves many assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such information. Blend has not independently verified the accuracy or
completeness of the information contained in the industry publications and other publicly available information. Accordingly, Blend makes no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of that
information nor does Blend undertake to update such information after the date of this presentation.
