NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as Gross Transaction Value, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Sharing Revenue and Ride Profit, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Switchback and Bird believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Bird’s financial condition and results of operations. Bird’s management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Switchback and Bird believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Bird’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Bird’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results.

BirdOS Bird OS is Bird’s own operating system that powers every vehicle since Bird One. Designed from the ground up to be an incredibly secure platform for micromobility on the market.
Each vehicle reports location, status, and data to the Vehicle Radar Network. If vehicle’s communication is disconnected, it will no longer be able to report back. If vehicle’s communication is interrupted, we utilize the network to connect to the vehicle. Advanced Vehicle Radar Network extends vehicle lifetimes If another Bird comes within range, it will send the disconnected Bird's information to the Radar Network. If a Bird Rider comes within range, their phone will send the disconnected Bird's information to the Radar Network. 1 2 3
