Craig - Hallum Alpha Select Conference September 17, 2015

 

 

2 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, and any other statement that may be construed as a prediction of future performance or events, including fiscal year 2016 revenue and non - GAAP adjusted gross margin ranges, 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 occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to risks related to disruption of management's attention from the ongoing business operations due to the Appia merger integration effort ; 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 from the Appia merger ; 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 ; the inherent and deal specific challenges in converting discussions with carriers into actual contractual relationships ; product acceptance of a new product such as DT Ignite™ or DT IQ™ in a competitive marketplace ; device sell through for any specific device or series of devices ; the potential for unforeseen or underestimated cash requirements or liabilities ; the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations on our reported GAAP financial statements ; the Company’s ability as a smaller company to manage international operations ; its ability given the company's limited resources to identify and consummate acquisitions ; varying and often unpredictable levels of orders ; the challenges inherent in technology development necessary to maintain the Company’s competitive advantage ; such as adherence to release schedules and the costs and time required for finalization and gaining market acceptance of new products ; changes in economic conditions and market demand ; rapid and complex changes occurring in the mobile marketplace ; pricing and other activities by competitors ; pricing risks associated with potential commoditization of the Appia Core as competition increases and new technologies add pricing pressure ; technology management risk as the company needs to adapt to complex specifications of different carriers and the management of a complex technology platform given the company's relatively limited resources, 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 historical financial statements and/or forward looking financials 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 GAAP and non - GAAP results for the twelve month period ended March 31 , 2016 presented, if any, are subject to completion of the Company’s year - end accounting processes, which include the finalization of the Company’s provision for income taxes . Final results could also be affected by certain subsequent events . 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 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, if any, enhance the comparability of results against prior periods and allow for greater transparency of financial results . To the extent the Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation for forward looking non - GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided a qualitative description of the anticipated differences between such non - GAAP financial measure and the most comparable financial measure . 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, and fees and expenses related to acquisitions . 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 certain cash and non - cash charges and other costs that the Company does not believe are reflective of its core operating underlying business . © Digital Turbine.
