Digital Turbine, Inc. Investor Presentation

 
 

Safe Harbor Statements. Statements in this presentation that are not statements of historical fact and that concern future results from operations, financial position, economic conditions, product releases, revenue and product synergies, cost savings, product or competitive enhancements and any other statement that may be construed as a prediction of future performance or events, including that Appia's technology will enhance Digital Turbine's existing products or foster new technology innovation, perceived benefits from the business combination, that the acquisition will result in increased revenue, cost savings and better competitive position, or that Digital Turbine will successfully integrate Appia’s technology, are forward - looking statements that speak only as of the date made and which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may, should one or more of these risks uncertainties or other factors materialize, cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements . These factors include the effect of the Appia acquisition on relationships with customers, operating results and business generally ; the ability to expand the combined company’s global reach, accelerate growth and enhance a scalable, low - capex business model that drives EBITDA ; failure to realize anticipated operational efficiencies, revenue (including projected revenue) and cost synergies and resulting revenue growth, EBITDA and free cash flow conversion ; inability to refinance the assumed debt or to refinance the debt on favorable terms ; unforeseen challenges related to relationships with operators, publishers and advertisers and expanding and maintaining those relationships ; the ability to execute upon, and realize any benefits from, potential value creation opportunities through strategic relationships in the future or at all, including the ability to leverage advertising opportunities effectively and increase revenue streams for carriers ; unforeseen difficulties preventing rapid integration of Appia’s app - install infrastructure into Digital Turbine’s existing platform ; the inherent and deal specific challenges in converting discussions with carriers into actual contractual relationships ; the Company’s ability as a smaller company to manage international, and as a result of the proposed merger, larger operations ; varying and often unpredictable levels of orders ; the challenges inherent in technology development necessary to maintain the Company’s competitive advantage ; the potential for unforeseen or underestimated cash requirements necessary to enable the transaction synergies to be realized, and other risks including those described from time to time in Digital Turbine’s filings on Forms 10 - K and 10 - Q with the SEC, press releases and other communications . You should not place undue reliance on these forward - looking statements . The Company does not undertake to update forward - looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law . Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures . To supplement the Company’s condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U . S . Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ GAAP ”), Digital Turbine uses non - GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, the exact amount of which are not currently determinable . These non - GAAP measures include non - GAAP adjusted gross profit and gross margin and non - GAAP adjusted EBITDA . Furthermore, the expected non - GAAP results are subject to completion of the Company’s year - end accounting processes, which include the finalization of several items that could affect these results . These items include, among others, estimation of certain contingent liabilities and the finalization of the Company’s provision for income taxes . Final results could also be affected by certain subsequent events in accordance with GAAP . Non - GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance, prospects for the future and as a means to evaluate period - to - period comparisons . The Company believes that these non - GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results . The Company believes the non - GAAP measures that exclude such items when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations enhance the comparability of results against prior periods and allow for greater transparency of financial results . The Company believes non - GAAP measures facilitate management’s internal comparison of its financial performance to that of prior periods as well as trend analysis for budgeting and planning purposes . The presentation of non - GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP . Non - GAAP Adjusted gross margin is defined as GAAP gross margin adjusted to exclude the effect of intangible amortization expense . Readers are cautioned that non - GAAP Adjusted gross margin should not be construed as an alternative to gross margin determined in accordance with U . S . GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP . Non - GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as GAAP net loss excluding the following cash and non - cash expenses : interest expense, foreign transaction gains (losses), debt financing and non - cash related expenses, debt discount and non - cash debt settlement expense, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, income taxes, asset impairment charges, depreciation and amortization, stock - based compensation expense, change in fair value of derivatives, fees and expenses related to acquisitions and discretionary bonus expenses . Because Adjusted EBITDA is a non - GAAP measure that does not have a standardized meaning, it may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies . Readers are cautioned that Non - GAAP Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with U . S . GAAP as an indicator of performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP . Non - GAAP adjusted gross profit and gross margin and adjusted EBITDA are used by management as internal measures of profitability and performance . They have been included because the Company believes that the measures are used by certain investors to assess the Company’s financial performance before non - cash charges and certain costs that the Company does not believe are reflective of its underlying business . © 2015 Digital Turbine, Inc. 2
