Blucora Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (1) ($ in thousands, except per share amounts) TTM ended September 30, 2021   TTM ended September 30, 2020 Adjusted EBITDA (1) GAAP Net income $ (19,249) $ (274,727) Stock-based compensation 18,345 12,356 Depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets 42,786 41,749 Other loss, net 32,120 28,619 Impairment of goodwill and an intangible asset - 270,625 Acquisition and integration costs—Excluding change in fair value of HKFS Contingent Consideration 12,016 26,806 Acquisition and integration—Change in fair value of HKFS Contingent Consideration 28,800 - Executive transition costs 476 10,225 Headquarters relocation costs - 1,863 Contested proxy and other legal and consulting costs 7,293 - Income tax (benefit) expense 22,014 (25,347) Adjusted EBITDA (1) $ 144,601 $ 92,169 Adjusted EBITDA growth 57%

Blucora Reconciliation of Operating Income, Excluding Corporate-Level Activity (2) (Unaudited, in thousands) TTM ended September 30, 2021 Operating income (loss) by segment: Wealth Management $ 80,724 Tax Software 89,447 Corporate-level activity (135,286) Total GAAP operating income (loss) 34,885 Less: Corporate-level activity 135,286 Operating income, less corporate-level activity $ 170,171 Wealth Management operating income as a % of operating income, less corporate-level activity (2) 47% Tax Software operating income as a % of operating income, less corporate-level activity (2) 53%

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, other loss, net, acquisition and integration costs, executive transition costs, headquarter relocation costs, contested proxy and other legal and consulting costs, income tax expense and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Other loss, net primarily consists of interest expense, net and non-capitalized debt issuance expenses. Acquisition and integration costs primarily relate to the HKFS Acquisition and 1st Global Acquisition. Executive transition costs relate to the departure of certain Company executives in the first quarter of 2020. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We use this non-GAAP financial measure for internal management and compensation purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a common measure used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance, that it provides a more complete understanding of the results of operations and trends affecting our business when viewed together with GAAP results, and that management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business and, therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP net income (loss). Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and, therefore, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Wealth Management operating income as a percentage of operating income, less corporate-level activity, and Tax Software operating income as a percentage of operating income, less corporate-level activity, are non-GAAP measures that are defined as the respective segment operating income divided by consolidated operating income, less corporate-level activity. We believe these non-GAAP measures are meaningful as they represent the relative size of our two segments, excluding income statement items classified as “Corporate-level activity” and not allocated to our two segments.
