Disclaimer (Cont’d) Use of Projections This presentation contains financial forecasts, including those presented on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Transactions. Neither Skydance’s nor Paramount’s independent auditors have studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, no auditor has expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside of the Companies’ control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of future performance of Paramount, Skydance or the combined Companies after the Transactions or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA. EBITDA is defined as net income plus income tax expense (benefit), interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and programming charges, each where applicable. These financial measures are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Companies believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for management and investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. This presentation includes certain forward looking non-GAAP financial measures. To the extent a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not provided in this presentation, it is because the Companies are not able to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. Important Information for Investors and Stockholders This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any issuance or sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933. In connection with the Transactions, New Paramount expects to file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will include an information statement of Paramount and a preliminary prospectus of New Paramount. After the registration statement is declared effective, Paramount will mail to its stockholders a definitive information statement that will form part of the registration statement on Form S-4. This communication is not a substitute for any other document that Paramount or New Paramount may file with the SEC or send to its stockholders in connection with the Transactions.
