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, Ukraine 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

Credit 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 Credit Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the closest GAAP financial measure. Our Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA (which we call “Credit 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) contingent consideration, (vii) acquisition and related expenses, and (viii) certain other items. We calculate Credit Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Credit Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.

Credit Adjusted EBITDA and Credit 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 Credit Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this presentation other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our business strategy, plans, market growth and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “would,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, but are not limited to, future revenues, expenses, and capital requirements; the implementation of our business model and strategic plans and initiatives including increased focus on in- house game development; our ability to improve on our user metrics and our ability among others. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about our business, the industry in which we operate and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or development. 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; the impact of geopolitical events, including relating to Ukraine; 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; 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. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by Playtika relating to market size and growth and other data about Playtika’s industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures of us, including Credit 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 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. 2

See appendix for definition of Credit Adjusted EBITDA. Credit Adjusted EBITDA is a non-gaap measure, see reconciliation of historical figures on slide 13.


 
APPENDIX Credit Adjusted EBITDA: Our Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA (which we call “Credit Adjusted EBITDA”) as net income b efore (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) stock -based compensation, (vi) contingent consideration, (vii) acquisition and related expenses, and (viii) certain other items. We supplementally present Credit Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key operating measure used by our management to assess our f inancial performance. Credit 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 Credit Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and analysts in highlighting trends in our ope rating 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 Credit Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the eva luation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against other peer comp anies using similar measures. We evaluate Credit 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. Credit Adjusted EBITDA s hould not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance, or any other performance measure der ived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP Financial Measure 11


 
APPENDIX Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measure 12Note: USD in millions. (1) Reflects, for all years, stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of equity awards to certain of our employees. (2) Amount for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily relate to expenses incurred by the Company in connection with our evaluation of strategic alternatives for the Company. (3) Amount for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consists primarily of $0.6 million incurred by the Company for severance.


 
APPENDIX Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measure 13Note: USD in millions. (1) Reflects stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of equity awards to certain of our employees. (2) Amount primarily relates to expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the evaluation of strategic alternatives for the Company. (3) Amount consists of $13.2 million incurred by the Company for severance, $4.1 million incurred by the Company for relocation and support provided to employees due to the war in Ukraine and $16.4 million incurred related to the announced restructuring activities.


 
APPENDIX Average Revenue per Daily Active User: or “ARPDAU” means (i) the total revenue in a given period, (ii) divided by the number of days in that period, (iii) divided by the average Daily Active Users during that period. Daily Active Users: or “DAUs” means the number of individuals who played one of our games during a particular day on a particular platform. Under this metric, an individual who plays two different games on the same day is counted as two DAUs.
