When used in this press release, words such as “will,” “would”, “aim,” “delivers,” “exceptional,” “expand” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements, including (1) our ability to sustain our growth, effectively manage our anticipated future growth, and implement our business strategies to achieve the results we anticipate, (2) our current liquidity resources raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, (3) impairments of our intangible assets and equity method investment in our joint ventures, (4) our ability to raise additional capital, (5) the closure of Katmandu Park DR, sale of our interests in the Sol Tenerife Hotel, winding up of our Karnival joint venture, and the repositioning and rebranding of our FBD business, (6) the success of our growth plans in FCG and FBB, (7) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions, business combinations, and joint ventures, (8) any failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquired or proposed to be acquired businesses, including OES, (9) our customer concentration in FCG, (10) the timing of recognition of revenue from our contracted pipeline is difficult to predict with certainty and in some cases may extend over a number of fiscal years, (11) the risk that contractual restrictions relating to the Strategic Investment may affect our ability to access the public markets and expand our business, (12) the risks of doing business internationally, including in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, (13) our indebtedness, (14) our dependence on strategic relationships with local partners in order to offer and market our products and services in certain jurisdictions, (15) our reliance on our senior management and key employees, and our ability to hire, train, retain, and motivate qualified personnel, (16) cybersecurity-related risks, (17) our ability to protect our intellectual property, (18) our ability to remediate identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, (19) the concentration of share ownership and the significant influence of the Demerau Family and Cecil D.

The forward-looking statements herein speak only as of the date of this press release, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, transaction-related credits, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, impairment charges, and certain gains or losses associated with equity method investments that are not considered indicative of our core operating performance.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information regarding the operating performance of our business by excluding the effects of financing decisions, capital structure, depreciation and amortization, and other items that may not be representative of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or other measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is included below.
