Disclaimers

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation includes Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, certain Non-GAAP expenses, Backlog, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures Planet uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Planet includes these Non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate Planet's core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments.

Planet presents these Non-GAAP financial measures because Planet believes these measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in Planet's industry and facilitates comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, Planet believes these measures are helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results because they exclude items that are not indicative of Planet's core operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Non-GAAP financial measures presented are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies, which may have different definitions from Planet's. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude stock-based compensation expenses, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for Planet and an important part of its compensation strategy.

Definitions of these Non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are included in the appendix to this presentation.

Financial Outlook

Planet has not reconciled its Non-GAAP financial outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain reconciling items, such as stock-based compensation expenses and depreciation and amortization, are uncertain or out of Planet's control and cannot be reasonably predicted. The actual amount of these expenses will have a significant impact on Planet's future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Planet's Non-GAAP outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts.
