continuing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of
the pandemic has been unprecedented and the future effect of the
pandemic on the global economy and our financial results remains
uncertain, and our actual results may differ materially. See
“Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Forward-Looking StatementsThis
press release includes certain statements that are not historical
facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe
harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements related to
market trends, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on
factors impacting the Company’s business, the Company’s new lender
pipeline, consumer behavior and demand for automotive loans, as
well as future financial performance under the heading “Second
Quarter 2023 Outlook” above. Forward-looking statements generally
are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,”
“estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,”
“would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,”
“outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future
events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters.
These statements are based on various assumptions and on the
current expectations of the Company’s management and are not
predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements
are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to
serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a
guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of
fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult
or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many
actual events and circumstances are beyond the Company’s control.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties, including general economic, market, political
and business conditions; the continuing effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on consumer behavior; applicable taxes, inflation, supply
chain disruptions including global hostilities and responses
thereto, interest rates and the regulatory environment; the outcome
of judicial proceedings to which Open Lending is, or may become a
party; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business
combination with Nebula Acquisition Corporation; other risks
discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2022. If the risks materialize or
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially
from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There
may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know or
that they currently believe are immaterial that could also cause
actual results to differ from those contained in the
forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements
reflect the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future
events and views as of the date of this press release. The Company
anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause
their assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect
to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the
future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.
These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as
representing the Company’s 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.
Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThe
non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are
financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with
GAAP. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and
Adjusted operating cash flows internally in analyzing our financial
results and believes these measures are useful to investors, as a
supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational
performance. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP
financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use
in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing
our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of
which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
The Company believes these measures provide
useful information to investors and others in understanding and
evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its
management and board of directors. In addition, these measures
provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our
business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash items and
certain non-recurring variable charges. Adjusted EBITDA is defined
as GAAP net income excluding interest expense, income tax expense,
depreciation and amortization expense of property and equipment,
and share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is
defined as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total
revenue. Adjusted operating cash flows is defined as Adjusted
EBITDA, minus CAPEX, +/- change in contract assets.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are
encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure
provided in the financial statement tables included below in this
press release.
