These slides and any accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in these slides and any accompanying oral presentation are forward-looking statements reflecting management’s current beliefs and expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “will,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend” and “should” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements in these slides and any accompanying oral presentation include, but are not limited to, statements about estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity, expectations and timing related to the rollout of our business and timing of deployments, customer growth and other business milestones. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this presentation, and on the current expectations of our management and are not predictions of actual performance. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted include, among others, those risks and uncertainties included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and subsequent annual reports, quarterly reports and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. This presentation includes data obtained from third-party studies and internal company surveys prepared for other purposes. The company has not independently verified the data obtained from these sources. Forward-looking information obtained from these sources is subject to the same qualification and the additional uncertainties regarding the other forward-looking statements in this presentation. This presentation contains trademarks, service marks, trade names, and copyrights of ours and of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners. The use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade name or products in this presentation is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with us, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of LanzaTech. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this presentation may appear with the TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that LanzaTech will not assert, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, their rights or the right of the applicable licensor to these trademarks, service marks and trade names. DISCLAIMER 2
Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with US GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have presented in this presentation adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by US GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We define adjusted EBITDA as as net loss, excluding the impact of depreciation, interest income (expense), net, gain on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation and change in fair value of warrant liability, and loss/(gain) from equity method investees, net. We monitor and have presented in this presentation adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets, and to develop operational goals for managing our business. We believe adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net loss. Accordingly, we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors, analysts, and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with US GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA rather than net loss, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with US GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA: (i) excludes stock-based compensation expense because it is a significant non-cash expense hat is not directly related to our operating performance; (ii) excludes depreciation expense and, although this is a non-cash expense, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future; and (iii) does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest on our debt, which affects the cash available to us; (iv) gain or losses on equity method investee; and (v) certain income or expense items that do not provide a comparable measure of our business performance. In addition, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculations of adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and potential future asset impairments, as well as discrete taxable events, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP results for the guidance period. DISCLAIMER 3
