Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company include &#8220;Adjusted Earnings before noncontrolling interests and taxes&#8221;, which is used interchangeably with &#8220;pre-tax Adjusted Earnings&#8221;&#59; &#8220;Post-tax Adjusted Earnings to fully diluted shareholders&#8221;, which is used interchangeably with &#8220;post-tax Adjusted Earnings&#8221;&#59; &#8220;Adjusted EBITDA&#8221;&#59; and &#8220;Liquidity&#8221;.

BGC believes that Adjusted Earnings best reflect the operating earnings generated by the Company on a consolidated basis and are the earnings which management considers when managing its business.</p>

In addition, Adjusted Earnings calculations exclude certain gains and charges that management believes do not best reflect the ordinary results of BGC. Adjusted Earnings is calculated by taking the most comparable GAAP measures and adjusting for certain items with respect to compensation expenses, non-compensation expenses, and other income, as discussed below.</p>

A significant percentage of BGC&#8217;s fully diluted shares are owned by its executives, partners and employees. The Company issues limited partnership units as well as other forms of equity-based compensation, including grants of exchangeability into shares of common stock, to provide liquidity to its employees, to align the interests of its employees and management with those of common stockholders, to help motivate and retain key employees, and to encourage a collaborative culture that drives cross-selling and revenue growth.</p>

Generally, limited partnership units other than preferred units are expected to be paid a pro-rata distribution based on BGC&#8217;s calculation of Adjusted Earnings per fully diluted share. However, out of an abundance of caution and in order to strengthen the Company&#8217;s balance sheet due the uncertain macroeconomic conditions with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, BGC Holdings, L.P. has reduced its distributions of income from the operations of BGC&#8217;s businesses to its partners.</p>

<p style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Although Adjusted Earnings are calculated on a pre-tax basis, BGC also reports post-tax Adjusted Earnings to fully diluted shareholders. The Company defines post-tax Adjusted Earnings to fully diluted shareholders as pre-tax Adjusted Earnings reduced by the non-GAAP tax provision described below and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest for Adjusted Earnings.</p>
<p style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:12pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">The Company calculates its tax provision for post-tax Adjusted Earnings using an annual estimate similar to how it accounts for its income tax provision under GAAP. To calculate the quarterly tax provision under GAAP, BGC estimates its full fiscal year GAAP income (loss) from operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and the expected inclusions and deductions for income tax purposes, including expected equity-based compensation during the annual period. The resulting annualized tax rate is applied to BGC&#8217;s quarterly GAAP income (loss) from operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. At the end of the annual period, the Company updates its estimate to reflect the actual tax amounts owed for the period.</p>
<p style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:12pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">To determine the non-GAAP tax provision, BGC first adjusts pre-tax Adjusted Earnings by recognizing any, and only, amounts for which a tax deduction applies under applicable law. The amounts include charges with respect to equity-based compensation&#59; certain charges related to employee loan forgiveness&#59; certain net operating loss carryforwards when taken for statutory purposes&#59; and certain charges related to tax goodwill amortization. These adjustments may also reflect timing and measurement differences, including treatment of employee loans&#59; changes in the value of units between the dates of grants of exchangeability and the date of actual unit exchange&#59; variations in the value of certain deferred tax assets&#59; and liabilities and the different timing of permitted deductions for tax under GAAP and statutory tax requirements.</p>
<p style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:12pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">After application of these adjustments, the result is the Company&#8217;s taxable income for its pre-tax Adjusted Earnings, to which BGC then applies the statutory tax rates to determine its non-GAAP tax provision. BGC views the effective tax rate on pre-tax Adjusted Earnings as equal to the amount of its non-GAAP tax provision divided by the amount of pre-tax Adjusted Earnings.</p>
<p style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:12pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Generally, the most significant factor affecting this non-GAAP tax provision is the amount of charges relating to equity-based compensation. Because the charges relating to equity-based compensation are deductible in accordance with applicable tax laws, increases in such charges have the effect of lowering the Company&#8217;s non-GAAP effective tax rate and thereby increasing its post-tax Adjusted Earnings.</p>

Outside of the U.S., BGC is expected to operate principally through subsidiary corporations subject to local income taxes.

Each quarter, the dividend payable to BGC&#8217;s stockholders, if any, is expected to be determined by the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors with reference to a number of factors, including post-tax Adjusted Earnings per share. BGC may also pay a pro-rata distribution of net income to limited partnership units, as well as to Cantor for its noncontrolling interest. The amount of this net income, and therefore of these payments per unit, would be determined using the above definition of Adjusted Earnings per share on a pre-tax basis.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">BGC&#8217;s calculation of Adjusted Earnings excludes the items discussed above because they are either non-cash in nature, because the anticipated benefits from the expenditures are not expected to be fully realized until future periods, or because the Company views results excluding these items as a better reflection of the underlying performance of BGC&#8217;s ongoing operations. Management uses Adjusted Earnings in part to help it evaluate, among other things, the overall performance of the Company&#8217;s business, to make decisions with respect to the Company&#8217;s operations, and to determine the amount of dividends payable to common stockholders and distributions payable to holders of limited partnership units. Dividends payable to common stockholders and distributions payable to holders of limited partnership units are included within &#8220;Dividends to stockholders&#8221; and &#8220;Earnings distributions to limited partnership interests and noncontrolling interests,&#8221; respectively, in our unaudited, condensed, consolidated statements of cash flows.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:12pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">The term &#8220;Adjusted Earnings&#8221; should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). The Company views Adjusted Earnings as a metric that is not indicative of liquidity, or the cash available to fund its operations, but rather as a performance measure. Pre- and post-tax Adjusted Earnings, as well as related measures, are not intended to replace the Company&#8217;s presentation of its GAAP financial results. However, management believes that these measures help provide investors with a clearer understanding of BGC&#8217;s financial performance and offer useful information to both management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to the Company&#8217;s financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the GAAP and Adjusted Earnings measures of financial performance should be considered together.</p>

Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, the Company&#8217;s management uses this measure to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. BGC believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more complete picture of the Company&#8217;s financial results and operations. </p>

Because not all companies use identical EBITDA calculations, the Company&#8217;s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow or GAAP cash flow from operations because the Company&#8217;s Adjusted EBITDA does not consider certain cash requirements, such as tax and debt service payments.</p>

However, the Company does not anticipate providing an outlook for other GAAP results. This is because certain GAAP items, which are excluded from Adjusted Earnings and/or Adjusted EBITDA, are difficult to forecast with precision before the end of each period. The Company therefore believes that it is not possible for it to have the required information necessary to forecast GAAP results or to quantitatively reconcile GAAP forecasts to non-GAAP forecasts with sufficient precision without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The relevant items that are difficult to predict on a quarterly and/or annual basis with precision and may materially impact the Company&#8217;s GAAP results include, but are not limited, to the following:</p>

Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company include &#8220;Adjusted Earnings before noncontrolling interests and taxes&#8221;, which is used interchangeably with &#8220;pre-tax Adjusted Earnings&#8221;; &#8220;Post-tax Adjusted Earnings to fully diluted shareholders&#8221;, which is used interchangeably with &#8220;post-tax Adjusted Earnings&#8221;; &#8220;Adjusted EBITDA&#8221;; and &#8220;Liquidity&#8221;.

BGC believes that Adjusted Earnings best reflect the operating earnings generated by the Company on a consolidated basis and are the earnings which management considers when managing its business.</p>

In addition, Adjusted Earnings calculations exclude certain gains and charges that management believes do not best reflect the ordinary results of BGC. Adjusted Earnings is calculated by taking the most comparable GAAP measures and adjusting for certain items with respect to compensation expenses, non-compensation expenses, and other income, as discussed below.</p>

The Company defines post-tax Adjusted Earnings to fully diluted shareholders as pre-tax Adjusted Earnings reduced by the non-GAAP tax provision described below and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest for Adjusted Earnings.</p>

To calculate the quarterly tax provision under GAAP, BGC estimates its full fiscal year GAAP income (loss) from operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and the expected inclusions and deductions for income tax purposes, including expected equity-based compensation during the annual period. The resulting annualized tax rate is applied to BGC&#8217;s quarterly GAAP income (loss) from operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. At the end of the annual period, the Company updates its estimate to reflect the actual tax amounts owed for the period.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">To determine the non-GAAP tax provision, BGC first adjusts pre-tax Adjusted Earnings by recognizing any, and only, amounts for which a tax deduction applies under applicable law. The amounts include charges with respect to equity-based compensation; certain charges related to employee loan forgiveness; certain net operating loss carryforwards when taken for statutory purposes; and certain charges related to tax goodwill amortization. These adjustments may also reflect timing and measurement differences, including treatment of employee loans; changes in the value of units between the dates of grants of exchangeability and the date of actual unit exchange; variations in the value of certain deferred tax assets; and liabilities and the different timing of permitted deductions for tax under GAAP and statutory tax requirements.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">After application of these adjustments, the result is the Company&#8217;s taxable income for its pre-tax Adjusted Earnings, to which BGC then applies the statutory tax rates to determine its non-GAAP tax provision. BGC views the effective tax rate on pre-tax Adjusted Earnings as equal to the amount of its non-GAAP tax provision divided by the amount of pre-tax Adjusted Earnings.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p>

Because the charges relating to equity-based compensation are deductible in accordance with applicable tax laws, increases in such charges have the effect of lowering the Company&#8217;s non-GAAP effective tax rate and thereby increasing its post-tax Adjusted Earnings.</p>

Certain of the Company&#8217;s entities are taxed as U.S. partnerships and are subject to the Unincorporated Business Tax (&#8220;UBT&#8221;) in New York City. Any U.S. federal and state income tax liability or benefit related to the partnership income or loss, with the exception of UBT, rests with the unit holders rather than with the partnership entity. The Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements include U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on the Company&#8217;s allocable share of the U.S. results of operations. Outside of the U.S., BGC is expected to operate principally through subsidiary corporations subject to local income taxes. For these reasons, taxes for Adjusted Earnings are expected to be presented to show the tax provision the consolidated Company would expect to pay if 100 percent of earnings were taxed at global corporate rates.</p>

Each quarter, the dividend payable to BGC&#8217;s stockholders, if any, is expected to be determined by the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors with reference to a number of factors, including post-tax Adjusted Earnings per share. BGC may also pay a pro-rata distribution of net income to limited partnership units, as well as to Cantor for its noncontrolling interest.

Management uses Adjusted Earnings in part to help it evaluate, among other things, the overall performance of the Company&#8217;s business, to make decisions with respect to the Company&#8217;s operations, and to determine the amount of dividends payable to common stockholders and distributions payable to holders of limited partnership units. Dividends payable to common stockholders and distributions payable to holders of limited partnership units are included within &#8220;Dividends to stockholders&#8221; and &#8220;Earnings distributions to limited partnership interests and noncontrolling interests,&#8221; respectively, in our unaudited, condensed, consolidated statements of cash flows.</p>

The Company views Adjusted Earnings as a metric that is not indicative of liquidity, or the cash available to fund its operations, but rather as a performance measure. Pre- and post-tax Adjusted Earnings, as well as related measures, are not intended to replace the Company&#8217;s presentation of its GAAP financial results. However, management believes that these measures help provide investors with a clearer understanding of BGC&#8217;s financial performance and offer useful information to both management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to the Company&#8217;s financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the GAAP and Adjusted Earnings measures of financial performance should be considered together.</p>

Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, the Company&#8217;s management uses this measure to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. BGC believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more complete picture of the Company&#8217;s financial results and operations. </p>

Because not all companies use identical EBITDA calculations, the Company&#8217;s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow or GAAP cash flow from operations because the Company&#8217;s Adjusted EBITDA does not consider certain cash requirements, such as tax and debt service payments.</p>

However, the Company does not anticipate providing an outlook for other GAAP results. This is because certain GAAP items, which are excluded from Adjusted Earnings and/or Adjusted EBITDA, are difficult to forecast with precision before the end of each period. The Company therefore believes that it is not possible for it to have the required information necessary to forecast GAAP results or to quantitatively reconcile GAAP forecasts to non-GAAP forecasts with sufficient precision without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
