These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation.
In addition, this presentation contains certain projected financial information with respect to the Company's future results. Such projected financial information was not prepared with a view to public disclosure or compliance with the guidelines established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, published guidance or rules of the SEC or U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Such projected financial information constitutes forward-looking information, is presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being indicative of future results. The projected financial information is based on estimates and assumptions that the management of the Company believed to be reasonable at the time they were made and are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the projected financial information. In particular, the value of terms of actual contracts, interest rates and financial results and measures may vary, and the figures included in this presentation are presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be an indication of the actual contract terms or values, or the Company’s financial position or results of operations for any historical or future periods. The projected financial information also does not reflect future changes in general business or economic conditions, or any other transaction or event that may occur and that was not anticipated at the time this information was prepared and is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2025 10-K. The inclusion of such information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved. Neither the Company's independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information.

Such non-GAAP measures are used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources, and for internal planning and forecasting and business strategy purposes. The non-GAAP measures included in this presentation have certain limitations, and should not be construed as alternatives to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures as defined by us may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. The Company's presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude unusual or non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by other unusual or non-recurring items. Please refer to the documents filed by the Company with the SEC for more information with respect to the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations thereof. Please refer to the Appendix for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.

Slide 8
Reconciliation from GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Run-Rate Adjusted EBITDA
We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss, excluding (i) (gain) loss on fair value adjustments, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest expense, net, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) acquisition related costs, (vi) other income, net, and (vii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We define Run-Rate Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted EBITDA plus reasonably estimated identifiable “run-rate” profits (calculated on a pre-tax basis) projected to be earned from announced contracts and contracts included in our good faith debt estimate as of the date of this offering memorandum, in each case, within 24 months of the entry into such contracts, as permitted pursuant to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility Agreement and as will be permitted under the Indenture.
(in millions, except percentages)
| FY 2024 | FY 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net loss | $(863) | $(1,167) |
| Depreciation and amortization | 863 | 2,454 |
| Interest expense, net | 361 | 1,229 |
| Stock-based compensation | 31 | 630 |
| Provision for (benefit from) income taxes | 119 | (48) |
| Acquisition related costs (1) | - | 55 |
| Other income, net (2) | (49) | (33) |
| (Gain) loss on fair value adjustments (2) | 756 | (27) |
| FY25 Adjusted EBITDA (As Reported) | $1,218 | $3,093 |
| Run-rate profits from new contracts (3)(4) | 13,005 | |
| Run-Rate Adjusted EBITDA (3)(4) | $16,098 |
Notes:
- Acquisition related costs include direct transaction costs, such as due diligence, advisory, and professional services fees, and certain compensation and integration related expenses. We exclude acquisition related costs, as we believe these transaction-specific expenses are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
- Represents adjustments related to recording our derivative liabilities at fair value at the end of each reporting period for our 2021 Convertible Senior Secured Notes, warrant liabilities related to our 2022 Senior Secured Notes, and the fair value remeasurement of the option liability in connection with our Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock financing. Investments and Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements included in Note 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2025 for additional information
- Reasonably estimated identifiable “run-rate” profits (calculated on a pre-tax basis) projected to be earned from new contracts entered into by the Company and/or its subsidiaries within 24 months of the entry into such new contracts
- Run-rate profits from new contracts and Run-Rate Adjusted EBITDA are forward-looking statements and projections, are subject to risks and uncertainties and should not be relied upon as statement of facts or predictions of future events. See “Safe Harbor Disclaimer”
