historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding our business strategy, plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Further, statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “intent,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “present,” “preserve,” “project,” “pursue,” “should,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other words or expressions of similar meaning may identify forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and industry. As a result, it is not possible for our management to 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. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this press release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated, predicted or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include without limitation:

•our reliance on third-party platforms, such as the iOS App Store, Facebook, and Google Play Store, to distribute our games and collect revenues, and the risk that such platforms may adversely change their policies;
•our reliance on a limited number of games to generate the majority of our revenue;
•our reliance on a small percentage of total users to generate a majority of our revenue;
•our free-to-play business model, and the value of virtual items sold in our games, is highly dependent on how we manage the game revenues and pricing models;
•our inability to identify acquisition targets that fit our strategy or complete acquisitions and integrate any acquired businesses successfully or realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions could limit our growth, disrupt our plans and operations or impact the amount of capital allocated to mergers and acquisitions;
•our ability to compete in a highly competitive industry with low barriers to entry;
•our ability to retain existing players, attract new players and increase the monetization of our player base;
•we have significant indebtedness and are subject to the obligations and restrictive covenants under our debt instruments;
•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or other health epidemics on our business and the economy as a whole;

•geopolitical events such as the Wars in Israel and Ukraine;
•our reliance on key personnel;
•market conditions or other factors affecting the payment of dividends, including the decision whether or not to pay a dividend;
•uncertainties regarding the amount and timing of repurchases under our stock repurchase program;

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Credit Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance, nor as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP.
Below is a reconciliation of Credit Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the closest GAAP financial measure. Our Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA (which we call “Credit Adjusted EBITDA”) as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) impairment charges, (vi) stock-based compensation, (vii) contingent consideration, (viii) acquisition and related expenses, and (ix) certain other items. We calculate Credit Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Credit Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.
Credit Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Adjusted EBITDA Margin as calculated herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry and are not determined in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Credit Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward -looking statements include without limitation: • actions of our majority shareholder or other third parties that influence us; • our reliance on third-party platforms, such as the iOS App Store, Facebook, and Google Play Store, to distribute our games and collect revenues, and the risk that such platforms may adversely change their policies; • our reliance on a limited number of games to generate the majority of our revenue; • our reliance on a small percentage of total users to generate a majority of our revenue; • our free-to-play business model, and the value of virtual items sold in our games, is highly dependent on how we manage the game revenues and pricing models; • our inability to identify acquisition targets that fit our strategy or complete acquisitions and integrate any acquired busin esses successfully or realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions could limit our growth, disrupt our plans and operat ions or impact the amount of capital allocated to mergers and acquisitions; • our ability to compete in a highly competitive industry with low barriers to entry; • our ability to retain existing players, attract new players and increase the monetization of our player base; • we have significant indebtedness and are subject to the obligations and restrictive covenants under our debt instruments; • the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or other health epidemics on our business and the economy as a whole; • our controlled company status; • legal or regulatory restrictions or proceedings could adversely impact our business and limit the growth of our operations; • risks related to our international operations and ownership, including our significant operations in Israel and Ukraine and the fact that our controlling stockholder is a Chinese-owned company; • geopolitical events such as the Wars in Israel and Ukraine; • our reliance on key personnel; • market conditions or other factors affecting the payment of dividends, including the decision whether or not to pay a dividend; • uncertainties regarding the amount and timing of repurchases under our stock repurchase program; • security breaches or other disruptions could compromise our information or our players’ information and expose us to liabilit y; and • our inability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary information could adversely impact our business. In addition, statements about the impact of the Wars in Israel and Ukraine are subject to the risks that hostilities may esca late and expand and that the actual impact may differ, possibly materially, from what is currently expected. Additional factors that may cause future events and actual results, financial or otherwise, to differ, potentially materially, from those discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements include the risks and uncertainties discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward -looking statements will be achieved or occur, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. G iven these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures of us, including Credit Adjusted EBITDA. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of inc ome, balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the company. You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. For information regarding the non -GAAP financial measures used by us, and for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the Appendix to this presentation. 2

APPENDIX Credit Adjusted EBITDA: Our Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA (which we call “Credit Adjusted EBITDA”) as net income b efore (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) impairment of intangible assets, (vi) stock-based compensation, (vii) contingent consideration, (viii) acquisition and related expenses, and (ix) certain other items. We calculate Credit Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Credit Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues. We supplementally present Credit Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key operating measure used by our management to assess our f inancial performance. Credit Adjusted EBITDA adjusts for items that we believe do not reflect the ongoing operating performance of our business, such as certain noncash i tems, unusual or infrequent items or items that change from period to period without any material relevance to our operating performance. Management believes Credit Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and analysts in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management uses Credit Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against other peer companies using similar m easures. We evaluate Credit Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with our results according to GAAP because we believe it provides investors and analysts a more complete understa nding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. Credit Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.

Average Daily Active Users for a particular period is the average of the DAUs for each day during that period. Daily Paying Users: or “DPUs” means the number of individuals who purchased, with real world currency, virtual currency or items in any of our games on a particular day. Under this metric, an individual who makes a purchase of virtual currency or items in two different games on the same day is counted as two DPUs. Similarly, an individual who makes a purchase of virtual currency or items in any of our games on two different platforms (e.g., web and mobile) or on two different social networks on the same day could be counted as two Daily Paying Users. Average Daily Paying Users for a particular period is the average of the DPUs for each day during that period. Daily Payer Conversion: means (i) the total number of Daily Paying Users, (ii) divided by the number of Daily Active Users on a particular day.
