Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nIn addition to our financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we present Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure because it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.<\/p>\n
\nWe defined Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude: (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for or benefit from income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) share-based compensation expense, (v) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, (vi) acquisition-related transaction costs, and (vii) other significant gains, losses, and expenses (such as impairments, transaction bonus) that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing results.<\/p>\n

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Forge\u2019s beliefs regarding its financial position and operating performance, as well as future opportunities for Forge to expand its business. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, while considered reasonable by Forge and its management, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in Forge\u2019s documents filed, or to be filed, with the SEC, including in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that will be filed on or around the date of this press release. There may be additional risks that Forge presently does not know of or that it currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Forge\u2019s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Forge anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while Forge may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Forge specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Forge\u2019s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.<\/p>\n

- \nTrades are defined as the total number of orders executed by us and acquired entities buying and selling private stocks on behalf of private investors and shareholders. Increasing the number of orders is critical to increasing our revenue and, in turn, to achieving profitability.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- \nVolume is defined as the total sales value for all securities traded through our Forge Markets platform. Volume is defined as the aggregate value of the issuer company\u2019s equity attributed to both the buyer and seller in a trade and as such a $100 trade of equity between buyer and seller would be captured as $200 volume for us. Although we typically capture a commission on each side of a trade, we may not in certain cases due to factors such as the use of an external broker by one of the parties or supply factors that would not allow us to attract sellers of shares of certain issuers. Volume is influenced by, among other things, the pricing and quality of our services as well as market conditions that affect private company valuations, such as increases in valuations of comparable companies at IPO.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- \nNet Take Rates are defined as our placement fee revenues, less transaction-based expenses (defined below), divided by Volume. These represent the percentage of fees earned by our marketplace on any transactions executed from the commission we charged on such transactions (less transaction-based expenses), which is a determining factor in our revenue. The Net Take Rate can vary based upon the service or product offering and is also affected by the average order size and transaction frequency. Transaction-based expenses represent fees incurred to support placement activities. These include, but are not limited to, those for fund management, fund and trade settlement, external broker fees and transfer fees.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Index Launch<\/b>: Forge launched its first index \u2014 The Forge Private Market Index \u2014 which reflects the up-to-date performance and pricing activity of venture-backed, late-stage companies that are actively traded in the secondary market. Unlike most private indices, the Forge Private Market Index reflects up-to-date performance and pricing activity of its underlying constituents based on secondary activities derived from Forge\u2019s leading trading platform, as well as data collected from other private market trading platforms.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- Debra Chrapaty added to Forge Board of Directors <\/b>\u2014 Ms. Chrapaty brings decades of corporate leadership in large-scale technical infrastructure, cloud, operations management, and product management. Since 2022, she has served as the Chief Technology Officer of Toast. Ms. Chrapaty previously served as the VP and COO of Amazon Alexa from 2020 to 2022, and served in multiple leadership positions for Wells Fargo, the National Basketball Association, E*TRADE, Microsoft, Cisco, and Zynga. Forge believes Ms. Chrapaty\u2019s extensive leadership experience across world-class financial services, technology, and consumer companies makes for a valuable addition to its Board and the execution of Forge\u2019s long-term strategic plan.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
