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 Mandalay Digital'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 Mandalay Digital will successfully
integrate Appias 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 occurrence of any
event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the
termination of the merger agreement; the inability to complete
the merger or failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the
merger; the inability to complete the merger within the expected time
period or at all, including due to the failure to obtain
stockholder approval, or the failure to satisfy other conditions
to completion of the merger; risks related to disruption of managements attention
from the ongoing business operations due to the proposed merger; the
effect of the announcement of the proposed merger on the
Mandalays or Appias relationships with their
respective customers, lenders, operating results and businesses
generally; material adverse changes in Mandalay Digitals
or Appias operations or financial results prior to closing; the
ability to expand the combined companys 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 if the
merger is consummated; inability to refinance the assumed Appia
debt subsequent to the closing 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 Appias app-install infrastructure into Digital
Turbines existing platform; the inherent and deal specific
challenges in converting discussions with carriers into actual
contractual relationships; the Companys 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 Companys
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 Mandalay Digitals 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.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as income (loss) from
continuing operations before interest expense, foreign exchange
gains (losses), financing and related expenses, debt discount and
debt settlement expense, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt,
acquisition and integration costs, income taxes, asset
impairment charges, depreciation and amortization, stock-based
compensation expense, change in fair value of derivatives, and
accruals for discretionary bonuses. Since 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 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. Adjusted EBITDA is used by
management as an internal measure of profitability. We have included
Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that this measure is used by
certain investors to assess our financial performance before
non-cash charges and certain costs that we do not believe are reflective of
our underlying business. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to U.S.
GAAP net income is included at the end of this presentation;
however such reconciliation to future net income is not
currently available without unreasonable effort. The information that is unavailable is
primarily asset impairment and expenses related to stock-based
compensation; it is probable that when such amounts are
available they will result in a significant GAAP net loss for our
second fiscal quarter notwithstanding our expected Adjusted EBITDA
results. This communication
is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to
purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy
any securities or the solicitation of any vote in any
jurisdiction pursuant to the proposed transactions or
otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of
securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No
offer of securities shall be made except by means of a
prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. |
