Forward -Looking Statements
This presentation contains “forward -looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prese nta tion, including statements regarding our business strategy, plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward -looking statem ents. Further, statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “fut ure ,” “intend,” “intent,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “present,” “preserve,” “project,” “pursue,” “should,” “will,” or “would,” or the negat ive of these words or other words or expressions of similar meaning may identify forward -looking statements. We have based these forward -looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trend s that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short -term and long -term busines s operations and objectives, and financial needs. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward -looking statem ents involves significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties di scu ssed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environm ent and industry. As a result, it is not possible for our management to assess the impact of all factors on our business or the e xtent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forwar d-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward -looking statements discussed in this press release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated, predicted or imp lied in the forward -looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward -looking statements include without limitation: • actions of our majority shareholder or other third parties that influence us; • our reliance on third -party platforms, such as the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, to distribute our games and collect reve nues, and the risk that such platforms may adversely change their policies; • our reliance on a limited number of games to generate the majority of our revenue; • our reliance on a small percentage of total users to generate a majority of our revenue; • our free -to-play business model, and the value of virtual items sold in our games, is highly dependent on how we manage the game revenues and pricing models; • our inability to refinance our indebtedness or to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all; • our inability to identify acquisition targets that fit our strategy or complete acquisitions and integrate any acquired busin ess es successfully or realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions could limit our growth, disrupt our plans and operations or impact the amount of capital allocated to mergers and acquisitions; • our ability to compete in a highly competitive industry with low barriers to entry; • our ability to retain existing players, attract new players and increase the monetization of our player base; • our ability to develop and/or launch new products and content or otherwise execute against our product roadmap strategy; • we have significant indebtedness and are subject to the obligations and restrictive covenants under our debt instruments; • the impact of an economic recession or periods of increased inflation, and any reductions to household spending on the types of discretionary entertainment we offer; • our controlled company status; • legal or regulatory restrictions or proceedings could adversely impact our business and limit the growth of our operations; • risks related to our international operations and ownership, including our significant operations in Israel and Ukraine and t he fact that our controlling stockholder is a Chinese -owned company; • geopolitical events such as the Wars in Israel and Ukraine; • our reliance on key personnel; • market conditions or other factors affecting the payment of dividends, including the decision whether or not to pay a dividen d; • uncertainties regarding the amount and timing of repurchases under our stock repurchase program; • security breaches or other disruptions could compromise our information or our players’ information and expose us to liabilit y; and • our inability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary information could adversely impact our business.
Additional factors that may cause future events and actual results, financial or otherwise, to differ, potentially materially , from those discussed in or implied by the forward -looking statements include the risks and uncertainties discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward -looking statements are re asonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward -looking statements will be achieved or occur, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future p erformance. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward -looking state ments. The forward -looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward -looking statements for any reason to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
Non -GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains certain non -GAAP financial measures of us, including Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA. A “non -GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in t he statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the company. You should not consider these non -GAAP financial measures in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. For information regarding the non -GAAP financial measures used by us, and for a reconciliation of these non -GAAP financial measures to the most directly com parable GAAP measures, see the Appendix to this presentation.

APPENDIX
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are non -GAAP financial measures and should not be construed as an alternative to net inc ome as an indicator of operating performance,
nor as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measu re in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP.
Our Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before ( i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization
expense, (v) impairment charges, (vi) stock -based compensation, (vii) contingent consideration, (viii) acquisition and related e xpenses, and (ix) certain other items. We calculate
Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.
We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before ( i) impairment charges, and (ii) contingent consideration.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income as calculated herein may not be comparable to similarly title d m easures reported by other companies within the
industry and are not determined in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adju ste d Net Income should not be construed as an
inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.
