10 Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures As used in this presentation, FCP projected EBITDA refers to FCP’s projected earnings before deducting interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as provided by FCP to FHI as part of its March 2025 Confidential Information Memorandum, and EPS excluding transaction costs refers to FCP’s projected earnings per share excluding transaction costs related to the transaction. While FHI reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, FHI management believes the presentation of FCP’s projected EBITDA and EPS excluding transaction costs provides useful information to management and investors to evaluate FCP’s core operating performance and expected contribution to FHI’s operating cash flow and EPS. Management also believes the presentation of projected EBITDA provides a benchmark to compare FCP’s performance and valuation with other companies, and the presentation of EPS excluding transaction costs provides a benchmark to compare FCP’s contribution to EPS without the one-time impact of transaction expenses. FHI’s management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, FCP’s projected EBITDA and EPS excluding transaction costs are forward-looking statements and are estimated based on various assumptions, and there is no guarantee that they will be realized as presented.
