11 www.VerifyMe.com Non - GAAP Reconciliation This presentation includes both financial measures in accordance with U . S . generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as well as non - GAAP financial measures . Generally, a non - GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP . Non - GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to and should not be considered as alternatives to any other GAAP financial measures . They may not be indicative of the historical operating results of VerifyMe nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results . Investors should not consider non - GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP . VerifyMe’s management uses and relies on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non - GAAP financial measures . The Company believes that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods . Additionally, the Company believes Adjusted EBIDTA is useful to investors to evaluate its results because it excludes certain items that are not directly related to the Company’s core operating performance . In particular, with regard to our comparison of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2023 to the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2022 , we believe that certain charges make a three and nine month to three and nine month comparison of net loss less useful to investors than a comparison of Adjusted EBITDA in understanding the results of operations . The Company’s management uses these non - GAAP financial measures in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period - to - period comparison . The Company’s management recognizes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as non - GAAP financial measures, have inherent limitations because of the described excluded items . The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, extinguishment of debt, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization . Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus non - cash stock compensation expense, severance expense, unrealized (loss) gain on equity investment, loss on equity investment, impairment of intangibles, change in fair value of contingent consideration and one - time professional expenses for acquisitions . VerifyMe believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important measures of VerifyMe’s operating performance because they allow management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess VerifyMe’s core operating results from period - to - period after removing the impact of items of a non - operational nature that affect comparability . A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable financial measure, net loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP is included in the table on the next slide . The Company believes that providing the non - GAAP financial measures, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between VerifyMe and other companies . In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non - GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance . Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measure and the corresponding GAAP measure provided by each company under applicable SEC rules as the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies .
