\nWe present in this press release certain financial information based on our Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS). We believe the non-GAAP financial measures will help investors understand our financial condition and operating results and assess our future prospects. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, each of which is discussed in greater detail below, are important supplemental measures because they exclude unusual or non-recurring items as well as non-cash items that are unrelated to or may not be indicative of our ongoing operating results. Further, when read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as a tool to help make financial, operational and planning decisions. We may use non-GAAP financial metrics in certain management compensation plans, debt covenants, internal budgetary decision making, and other resource allocation decisions. Finally, these measures are often used by analysts and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry by providing more comparable measures that are less affected by factors such as capital structure.<\/p>\n
\nWe recognize that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes, thereby affecting their comparability from company to company. In order to compensate for these and the other limitations discussed below, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations below and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.<\/p>\n
\nWe define these non-GAAP financial measures as:<\/p>\n
\nEBITDA refers to net income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest expense.<\/p>\n
\nAdjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA plus, as applicable for each period, adjustments for certain items management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash share-based compensation expenses. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain nonrecurring costs that management excludes in contemplation of budget decisions and are not costs of operating the business, such as entity wide re-branding initiatives or acquisition integration costs, and lender and administrative agent fees associated with one-off amendments. Lastly, Adjusted EBITDA excludes other non-recurring costs including gains or losses from disposition of assets, non-cash impairment losses, non-recurring transaction expenses and other charges or gains that the Company believes are not part of the ongoing operations of its business. The resulting expense or benefit from these other non-recurring costs is inconsistent in amount and frequency.<\/p>\n
\nAdjusted EBITDA Margin – Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they should not be considered an alternative to any financial measures that were calculated under U.S. GAAP.<\/p>\n
\nAdjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used to facilitate a comparison of the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of our operations on a consistent basis from period to period and provide an additional understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are driven by changes in volume, performance, contract mix and general and administrative expenses and investment levels. Performance, as used in this definition, refers to changes in profitability and is primarily based on adjustments to estimates at completion on individual contracts. These adjustments result from increases or decreases to the estimated value of the contract, the estimated costs to complete the contract, or both. These measures therefore assist management and our board and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance consistently over time as they remove the impact of our capital structure, asset base and items outside the control of the management team and expenses that do not relate to our core operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies as other companies may have calculated the measures differently.<\/p>\n
\nAdjusted EPS represents GAAP net income (loss) per fully diluted share, excluding transaction related expenses, integration expenses and non-recurring costs, lender and administrative agent fees, share-based compensation and other non-recurring costs as they are not representative of our operating performance.<\/p>\n

\nNumerous factors could cause our actual results and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, that a significant portion of our revenue is generated from contracts with the United States military and U.S. military spending is dependent upon the U.S. defense budget; U.S. government contracts are subject to a competitive bidding process that can consume significant resources without generating any revenue; our business and operations expose us to numerous legal and regulatory requirements, and any violation of these requirements could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition; our inability to adequately enforce and protect our intellectual property or defend against assertions of infringement could prevent or restrict our ability to compete; and we have in the past consummated acquisitions and intend to continue to pursue acquisitions, and our business may be adversely affected if we cannot consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or if we cannot effectively integrate acquired operations. Readers and\/or attendees are directed to the risk factors identified in the filings we make with the SEC from time to time, copies of which are available free of charge at the SEC\u2019s website at www.sec.gov<\/a> under Karman Holdings Inc.<\/p>\n\nThe forward-looking statements included in this announcement are only made as of the date of this announcement.
