Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”), Net Debt, Net Debt Leverage Ratio, and Organic Revenue are non-GAAP financial measures presented as supplemental indicators of the Company’s performance and capital structure. These measures are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and further excludes stock-based compensation expense and restructuring costs. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides investors with additional useful information regarding our core operating performance and the effects of certain non-cash or non-recurring items during the period.

Net Debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt Leverage Ratio is defined as Net Debt as of the balance sheet date divided by annualized Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter then ended. We believe these measures provide investors with additional insight into the Company’s leverage and liquidity position, illustrating our ability to service and repay debt using operating performance and available cash resources.

Organic Revenue is defined as revenue generated by MeridianBet Group, GMAG, and RKings for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, and by Classics for a Cause (“CFAC”) for the periods of August to September 2024 and August to September 2025. We present Organic Revenue to provide investors with a clearer understanding of the Company’s underlying performance, excluding the impact of newly acquired businesses outside of comparable reporting periods.

Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, Net Debt Leverage Ratio, and Organic Revenue are non-GAAP measures, are unaudited, and have inherent limitations as analytical tools. These measures should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include: they do not reflect cash expenditures or future capital requirements; they do not reflect working capital requirements or contractual commitments; they do not reflect significant interest expense, principal, or income tax payments; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized may require replacement in the future; and other companies may calculate these measures differently, limiting comparability. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as implying that future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the sections titled “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)”, “Reconciliation of Net Debt and Leverage Calculation (Unaudited)”, and “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Revenue to Organic Revenue (Unaudited)” included at the end of this release.
