Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking information and statements, including but not limited to: statements concerning anticipated future financial and operating performance; statements regarding the extent and timing of future licensing, products and services; and 3D motion picture releases and conversions scheduled for fiscal year 2016 ending March 31, 2016 and fiscal year 2017 ending March 31, 2017.

These statements are based on our management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside our management’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. RealD’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 and other documents filed with the SEC include a more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

RealD undertakes no obligation to update publicly the information contained in this press release, or any forward-looking statements, to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they were made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we provide Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus expenses for interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment and stock-based compensation plus net foreign exchange loss (gain) plus expenses comprising the non-U.S. GAAP categories “restructuring charges, severance costs and reserves” and “non- recurring expenses” as defined in our Credit Agreement. We define free cash flow as total cash provided (used) by operating activities less cash used in purchases of property and equipment and cash used in purchases of cinema systems and related components.

We present Adjusted EBITDA in reporting our financial results to provide investors with additional tools to evaluate our operating results in a manner that focuses on what our management believes to be our ongoing business operations. We present free cash flow to provide investors a metric for our capacity to generate cash from our operating and investing activities to sustain our operating activities. Management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider any such non-U.S. GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are used by management for planning purposes, including: the preparation of internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plans; in analyzing the effectiveness of business strategies; to evaluate potential acquisitions; in making compensation decisions; and in communications with its Board of Directors concerning financial performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments.
