In this presentation and the oral remarks made in connection herewith, Light & W onder makes “forward -looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward -looking statements describe future expectation s, plans, results or strategies and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “contin ue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “goal,” or similar terminology. These statements are based upon current Company management (“Management”) expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of timing, future results or performance. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward -looking statements as predictions of future events. Actual res ults may differ materially from those contemplated in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, includi ng, among other things: our inability to successfully execute our strategy; slow growth of new gaming jurisdictions, slow additio n of casinos in existing jurisdictions and declines in the replacement cycle of gaming machines; risks relating to foreign operations, including anti -corruption laws, fluctuations in currency rates, restrictions on the payment of dividends from earnings, restrictions on the imp ort of products and financial instability; difficulty predicting what impact new or increased tariffs imposed by and other trade actions taken by the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions could have on our business; U.S. and international economic and industry conditions, including changes in consumer sentiment and discretionary spending, increases in benchmark interest rates and the effects of inflation; public perception of our response to environmental, social and governance issues; the effects of health epidemics, contagious disease outbreaks and public percept ion thereof; changes in, progress under, or the elimination of, our share repurchase program; resulting pricing variations and other impacts of our co mmo n stock being listed to trade on more than one stock exchange; level of our indebtedness, higher interest rates, availability or adequacy of cash flows and liquidity to satisfy indebtedness, other obligations or future cash needs; inability to further reduce or refinance our i nde btedness; restrictions and covenants in debt agreements, including those that could result in acceleration of the maturity of our indebtedness; competition; inability to win, retain or renew, or unfavorable revisions of, existing contracts, and the inability to enter into new contr acts; risks and uncertainties of ongoing changes in U.K. gaming legislation, including any new or revised licensing and taxation regimes, responsible gambling requirements and/or sanctions on unlicensed providers; inability to adapt to, and offer products that keep pace with, evolvin g technology, including any failure of our investment of significant resources in our R&D efforts; failure to retain key Managem ent and employees; unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including but not limited to acts of terrorism, war, armed conflicts or hostilities, the impact such events may have on our customers, suppliers, employees, consultants, business partners or operatio ns, as well as Management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors; changes in demand for our products and services; dependence on suppliers and m anu facturers; SciPlay’s dependence on certain key providers; ownership changes and consolidation in the gaming industry; fluctua tions in our results due to seasonality and other factors; the risk that any potential disruptions from the Grover acquisition will harm relations hips with customers, employees and suppliers; the possibility that the Company may be unable to achieve expected financial, oper ational and strategic benefits of the Grover acquisition and may not be able to successfully integrate Grover into the Company’s operations; risks as a resu lt of being publicly traded in the United States and Australia, including price variations and other impacts relating to the cur rent dual listing of the Company’s common stock on the ASX and Nasdaq; risks relating to transitioning, or failing to transition, to a sole primary listing on t he ASX, including delisting the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq, which could negatively affect the liquidity and trading pric es of our common stock, impact our access to the capital markets and result in less or differing disclosure about the Company, as well as additional regulation which the Company is not currently familiar with; the possibility that we may be unable to achieve expected operation al, strategic and financial benefits of the SciPlay merger; security and integrity of our products and systems, including the impact of any security brea che s or cyber -attacks; protection of our intellectual property, inability to license third -party intellectual property and the inte llectual property rights of others; reliance on or failures in information technology and other systems; litigation and other liabilities relating to our busines s, including litigation and liabilities relating to our contracts and licenses, our products and systems (including further deve lopments in the Dragon Train litigation described under “Aristocrat Matters” in Note 15 of our quarterly report on Form 10 -Q filed with the SEC for the quarter ended Se ptember 30, 2025), our employees (including labor disputes), intellectual property, environmental laws and our strategic rela tionships; reliance on technological blocking systems; challenges or disruptions relating to the completion of the domestic migration to our enterpr ise resource planning system; laws, government regulations and potential trade tariffs, both foreign and domestic, including thos e relating to gaming, data privacy and security, including with respect to the collection, storage, use, transmission and protection of personal informa tion and other consumer data, and environmental laws, and those laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business o n the Internet, including online gambling; legislative interpretation and enforcement, regulatory perception and regulatory risks with respect to gamin g, including Internet wagering, social gaming and sweep -stakes; changes in tax laws or tax rulings, or the examination of our tax p ositions; opposition to legalized gaming or the expansion thereof and potential restrictions on Internet wagering; significant opposition in some jur isdictions to interactive social gaming, including social casino gaming and how such opposition could lead these jurisdictions t o adopt legislation or impose a regulatory framework to govern interactive social gaming or social casino gaming specifically, and how this could result in a prohibition on interactive social gaming or social casino gaming altogether, restrict our ability to advertise our games, or su bstantially increase our costs to comply with these regulations; expectations of shift to regulated digital gaming; inability to develop successful products an d services and capitalize on trends and changes in our industries, including the expansion of Internet and other forms of digita l gaming; the continuing evolution of the scope of data privacy and security regulations, and our belief that the adoption of increasingly restrictive regulatio ns in this area is likely within the U.S. and other jurisdictions; incurrence of restructuring costs; goodwill impairment charge s including changes in estimates or judgments related to our impairment analysis of goodwill or other intangible assets; stock price volatility; failure to maint ain adequate internal control over financial reporting; dependence on key executives; natural events that disrupt our operations, or those of our customers, suppliers or regulators; and expectations of growth in total consumer spending on social casino gaming.

Forward -looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, we un dertake no and expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward -looking statements whether as a result of new infor mation, future events or otherwise.

period, primarily due to revenue growth and AEBITDA margin expansion

payers, which was partially offset by an increase in average monthly
revenue per paying user. AEBITDA increased 8% to $71M , reflecting

Non -GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses the following non -GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures: Adjusted NPAT, Adjusted NPATA, Adjusted NPATA per share (on a diluted basis ) (also referred to as EPSa ), Normalized EBITA, Consolidated AEBITDA, Grover Adjusted EBITDA, Combined AEBITDA, Consolidated AEBITDA margin, Free cash flow, Net debt, Net debt leverage ratio and Combined net debt leverage ratio (each, as described more fully below). These non -GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental disclosures. They should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC. The non – GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Following our dual listing and pending transition to a sole primary listing on the ASX, Management introduced usage of Adjusted NPAT, Adjusted NPATA, Adjusted NPATA per share (EPSa) and Normalized EBITA, all of which are non -GAAP financial measures and are widely used to measure the performance as well as a principal basis for valuation of gaming and other companies listed on the ASX. Specifically, Management uses Consolidated AEBITDA to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations; (ii) facilitate Management’s internal and external comparisons of the Company’s consolidated historical operating performance; and (iii) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and operating budgets. In addition, Management uses Consolidated AEBITDA and Consolidated AEBITDA margin to facilitate its external comparisons of the Company’s consolidated results to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels. Following the closing of the Grover acquisition, Management introduced usage of certain of these non -GAAP financial measures on a “Combined” basis. Combined non -GAAP financial measures include results for both the Company and Grover on a combined basis, inclusive of periods prior to the closing of the acquisition. The Combined measures do not reflect any pro forma adjustments or other adjustments for costs related to integration activities, cost savings or other synergies that have been or may have been achieved if the business combination occurred as of the beginning of the applicable twelve -month period . We cannot assure you that such measures would not be materially different if such information were audited or that our actual results would not differ materially from the Combined measures if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of the applicable period . Management uses Net debt, Net debt leverage ratio and Combined net debt leverage ratio in monitoring and evaluating the Company’s overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage. Management believes that these non – GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide Management and investors with information regarding the Company’s financial condition and operating performance that is an integral part of Management’s reporting and planning processes. In particular, Management believes Adjusted NPAT , Adjusted NPATA , Adjusted NPATA per share and Normalized EBITA are useful for investors because they provide investors with additional perspective on performance, as the measures eliminate the effects of , as applicable, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, transaction, integration, certain other items, and the income tax impact on such adjustments, which Management believes are less indicative of the ongoing underlying performance of operations and are better evaluated separately. These measures are widely used to measure performance of gaming and other companies listed on the ASX. Management believes that Consolidated AEBITDA is helpful because this non -GAAP financial measure eliminates the effects of restructuring, transaction, integration or other items that Management believes are less indicative of the ongoing underlying performance of the Company’s operations (as more fully described below)
and are better evaluated separately. Management believes that Free cash flow provides useful information regarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to service debt and fund investments. Management believes that the Combined measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information regarding the combined business of the Company and Grover across the periods being presented, allowing for more meaningful comparisons of overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage. Management also believes that Free cash flow is useful for investors because it provides investors with important perspectives on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment, necessary license payments to support the ongoing business operations and adjustments for changes in restricted cash impacting working capital.
Adjusted NPAT and Adjusted NPATA
Adjusted NPAT and Adjusted NPATA , as used herein, are non -GAAP financial measures that are presented as supplemental disclosures of the Company’s operations and are reconciled to net income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled “Reconciliation of Consolidated AEBITDA , Normalized EBITA, Adjusted NPATA and Adjusted NPAT,” which includes reconciliations for several non -GAAP financial measures. Adjusted NPAT and Adjusted NPATA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC. Adjusted NPAT and Adjusted NPATA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted NPAT is reconciled to Net income and includes the following adjustments, as applicable: (1) Restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) Management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; an d (vi) acquisition – and disposition -related costs, strategic review and other unusual items; ( 2) Loss on debt financing transactions; ( 3) Change in fair value of investments and Gain on remeasurement of debt and other; ( 4) Income tax impact on adjustments ; and ( 5) Other expense (income), net, including foreign currency gains or losses and earnings from equity investments.

Adjusted NPATA target for fiscal year 2028 denotes a non -GAAP financial measure. We are not providing a forward -looking quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted NPATA target to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to do so without unreasonable efforts or to reasonably estimate the projected outcome of certain significant items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors out of our control and could have a material impact on the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
