 Copyright © 2017 – All Rights Reserved – Acacia Communications, Inc. I Connecting at the Speed of Light® 2 Safe Harbor Statement This presentation may contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements,
other than statements of historical facts, contained in this
presentation, including statements regarding our strategy, future
operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs,
prospects, plans and objectives of management, are
forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,”
“continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward- looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in
our forward-looking statements, and you should not place
undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. The forward-looking statements contained in
this presentation reflect our current views with respect to
future events, and we assume no obligation to update any forward- looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of the preliminary
prospectus, and our actual future results may be materially
different from what we expect. We have included important factors
in the cautionary statements included in the Form 10-K for the twelve month
period ended December 31, 2016 and other documents we have filed
with the SEC, particularly in the Risk Factors section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Except as required by law, we assume no
obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to
update the reasons why actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes measures defined by the SEC as non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures can provide useful supplemental information to
investors when read in conjunction with our reported results.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their closest GAAP
measures are available in the Appendix to this presentation and
descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures can be find in our earnings release with respect to our fourth quarter and full year 2016 results. |

upon assumptions with respect to future decisions, which are subject to change. Actual results will vary and those variations may be material. For discussion of some of the important factors that could
cause these variations, please consult the “Risk Factors” section of the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, that we have filed with the SEC. These long-term financial goals
include “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and reconciliations of such historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most
directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided in the Appendix to this
presentation. Acacia Communications has not reconciled the forward-looking non-GAAP measures included in these long-term financial goals because the expected tax benefits derived from any disqualifying dispositions of equity awards during the periods
included in these long-range goals cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time and, accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort. Descriptions of the
non-GAAP financial measures included in these long-term financial goals can be found in the company’s earnings release with respect to its fourth quarter and full year 2016 results.
