Forward Looking Information
In this press release, we make “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Further, statements that include words such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "present," "preserve," "project," "pursue," "will," or "would," or the negative of these words or other words or expressions of similar meaning may identify 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:
•our reliance on third-party platforms, such as the iOS App Store, Facebook, and Google Play Store, to distribute our games and collect revenues, 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 complete acquisitions and integrate any acquired businesses successfully could limit our growth or disrupt our plans and operations;
•we may be unable to successfully develop new games;
•our ability to compete in a highly competitive industry with low barriers to entry;
•we have significant indebtedness and are subject to the obligations and restrictive covenants under our debt instruments;
•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the economy as a whole;
•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 Belarus and the fact that our controlling stockholder is a Chinese-owned company;
•our reliance on key personnel;
•security breaches or other disruptions could compromise our information or our players’ information and expose us to liability; 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 reasonable, 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 performance. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
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
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be construed as an alternative to net income 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 measure in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP.
Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the closest GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) legal settlements, (vii) contingent consideration, (viii) acquisition and related expenses, (ix) expense under our long-term compensation plans, (x) M&A related retention payments, and (xi) certain other items, including impairments. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.
We supplementally present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because these are key operating measures used by our management to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts for items that we believe do not reflect the ongoing operating performance of our business, such as certain noncash items, unusual or infrequent items or items that change from period to period without any material relevance to our operating performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to investors and analysts in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in conjunction with our results according to GAAP because we believe they provide investors and analysts a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as calculated herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry and are not determined in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including business, regulatory, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties, contingencies and assumptions about us. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, including our ability to compete in the market; our future relationship with third-party platforms, such as the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store; our ability to successfully launch new games and enhance our existing games that are commercially successful; continued growth in demand for in-app purchases in mobile games; our ability to acquire and integrate new games and content; the ability of our games to generate revenues;; capital expenditures and investments in our infrastructure; our use of working capital in general; retaining existing players, attracting new players and increasing the monetization of our player base; our ability to successfully manage our game economies; maintaining a technology infrastructure that can efficiently and reliably handle increased player usage, fast load times and the deployment of new features and products; attracting and retaining qualified employees and key personnel; maintaining, protecting and enhancing our intellectual property; protecting our players’ information and adequately addressing privacy concerns; our ability to expand into new markets and distribution platforms; and successfully acquiring and integrating companies and assets. Because some of these risks and uncertainties cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward- looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. 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 reasonable, 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 performance. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

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 the 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 comparable GAAP measures, see the Appendix to this presentation.

RECONCILIATION Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be construed as alternatives to net income as indicators of operating performance, nor as alternatives to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the closest GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) legal settlements, (vii) contingent consideration, (viii) acquisition and related expenses, and (ix) certain other items, including impairments. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. We supplementally present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key operating measure used by our management to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts for items that we believe do not reflect the ongoing operating performance of our business, such as certain noncash items, unusual or infrequent items or items that change from period to period without any material relevance to our operating performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to investors and analysts in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with our results according to GAAP because we believe it provides investors and analysts a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP 15 2021 2020 2021 Net income $ 80.5 $ 119.9 $ 90.0 Provision for income taxes 49.1 39.0 51.4 Interest expense and other, net 24.9 44.8 24.0 Depreciation and amortization 36.5 28.3 33.3 EBITDA 191.0 232.0 198.7 Stock-based compensation 23.0 4.5 25.5 Acquisition and related expenses 1.2 0.1 6.3 Long-term cash compensation 28.5 19.1 30.2 M&A related retention payments 2.3 4.2 3.7 Other one-time items 1.8 1.5 - Adjusted EBITDA $ 247.8 $ 261.4 $ 264.4 Three months ended September 30, Unaudited Unaudited Three months ended June 30
