encouraging signs, particularly the increased NPS scores, give us

marketplace as we begin to ramp advertising spend in June instead
of August. We plan exciting new initiatives in the coming months,
including the launch of a Women's Fashion Category as well as the
rebranding of Wish.”

*Wish has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of
forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) for
total Adjusted EBITDA or to forecasted GAAP income (loss) before
income taxes for segment Adjusted EBITDA within this earnings
release because the company is unable, without making unreasonable
efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence.
These items include, but are not limited to: income taxes which are
directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in the market price
of the company's stock.
Conference Call & Webcast Information
Wish will host a live conference call to discuss the results
today at 2:45 p.m. PT / 5:45 p.m. ET. A link to the
live webcast and recorded replay of the conference call will be
available on the investor relations section of Wish’s corporate
website. The live call may also be accessed via phone at (833)
664-1138 toll-free domestically and at (470) 414-9349

Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
We provide Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial
measure that represents our net income (loss) adjusted to exclude:
interest and other income (expense), net (which includes foreign
exchange gain or loss, foreign exchange forward contracts gain or
loss and gain or loss on one-time non-operating transactions);
provision or benefit for income taxes; depreciation and
amortization; stock-based compensation expense and related payroll
taxes; lease impairment related expenses; and other items.
Additionally, in this news release, we present Adjusted EBITDA
Margin, a non-GAAP financial measure that represents
Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. The reconciliation between
historical GAAP and non-GAAP results of operations is provided
below. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP
and other operating performance measures as part of its overall
assessment of the company’s performance for planning purposes,
including the preparation of its annual operating budget, to
evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and to
communicate with its board of directors concerning its financial
performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an
alternative financial measure to net loss, which is the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with
GAAP, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in
accordance with GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements
of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including, but
not limited to, statements regarding Wish’s outlook including
expectations with respect to revenue and adjusted EBITDA, merchant
relationships, new business strategies and restructuring efforts,
including cost-saving measures, our ability to execute on new
strategic priorities related to our turnaround efforts, including
actions to enhance the user experience and engagement, NPS scores,
the turnaround timeline, including user growth, the potential
impact of our marketing and product initiatives, including ad
spending, new executive hires, growth opportunities, quotations
from management, and the anticipated return on our investments and
their ability to drive future growth. In some cases,
forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as
“anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“foresees,” “forecasts,” “guidance,” “intends” “goals,” “may,”
“might,” “outlook,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,”
“seeks,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “would” or similar
expressions and the negatives of those terms. These forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. If
the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results could differ materially from the results implied by these
forward-looking statements. Risks include, but are not limited to:
our ability to attract, retain and monetize users; risks associated
with software updates to the platform; the effectiveness of our CEO
transition; increasing requirements on collection of sales and
value added taxes; the success of our execution on new business
strategies; compromises in security; changes by third-parties that
restrict our access or ability to identify users; competition;
disruption, degradation or interference with the hosting services
we use and infrastructure; our financial performance and
fluctuations in operating results; pressure and fluctuation in our
stock price, including as a result of short selling and short
squeezes; challenges in our logistics programs; challenges in
growing new initiatives; the effectiveness of our internal
controls; the continued services of members of our senior
management team; our ability to offer and promote our app on the
Apple App Store and the Google Play Store; the dual class structure
of our common stock; our brand; legal matters; the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic; supply chain issues; global conflicts, including the
Russian invasion of Ukraine; and economic tension between the
United States and China. New risks emerge from time to time. It is
not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we
assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to
which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements we may make. Further information on
these and additional risks that could affect Wish’s results is
included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and future reports that Wish may
file with the SEC from time to time, which could cause actual
results to vary from expectations. Any forward-looking statement
made by Wish in this news release speaks only as of the day on
which Wish makes it. Wish assumes no obligation to, and does not
currently intend to, update any such forward-looking statements
after the date of this release.
The unaudited financial results in this news release are
estimates based on information currently available to Wish. While
Wish believes these estimates are meaningful, they could differ
from the actual amounts that the company ultimately reports in its
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Wish assumes no
obligation and does not intend to update these estimates prior to
filing its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
A Note About Metrics
The numbers for some of our metrics, including
MAUs and LTM Active Buyers, are calculated and tracked with
internal tools, which are not independently verified by any third
party. We use these metrics to assess the growth and health of our
overall business. While these numbers are based on what we believe
to be reasonable estimates of our user or merchant base for the
applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in
measurement as the methodologies used require significant judgment
and may be susceptible to algorithm or other technical errors. In
addition, we regularly review and adjust our processes for
calculating metrics to improve their accuracy, and our estimates
may change due to improvements or changes in technology or our
methodology.

Non-GAAP Statement of Operations
Our presentation of non-GAAP Statement of Operations excludes
the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related payroll
taxes. This measure is not a key metric used by our management and
board of directors to measure operating performance or otherwise
manage the business. However, we provide non-GAAP Statement of
Operations as supplemental information to investors, as we believe
the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense and related
payroll facilitates investors’ operating performance comparisons on
a period-to-period basis. You should not consider the non-GAAP
Statement of Operations in isolation or as a substitute for
analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
