Established Sadot Canada , a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sadot LLC based in Toronto, Canada , in the second quarter.

The Company defines EBITDA as Net loss, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, interest income / (expense), and income taxes. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Net loss, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, net interest (income) expense, income taxes, impairment expenses, stock-based consulting expense, derived from amounts presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Measures") are useful metrics for investors to understand and evaluate its operating results and ongoing profitability because they permit investors to evaluate its recurring profitability from its ongoing operating activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, have certain limitations, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of its results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. The Company cautions investors that amounts presented in accordance with its definitions of any of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because some issuers calculate certain of the Non-GAAP Measures differently or not at all, limiting their usefulness as direct comparative measures. The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, Net loss, and the calculations of the Net loss margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023: Three Months Ended June 30 , Six Months Ended June 30 , 2024 2023 2024 2023 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 Net income / (loss) 2,317 190 2,004 (876 ) Adjustments to EBITDA: Depreciation and amortization expenses 92 441 372 1,074 Interest (income) / expense, net 761 22 1,251 19 Income tax expense 5 3 7 6 EBITDA 3,175 656 3,634 223 Adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA: Other income (19 ) (251 ) (19 ) (251 ) Change in fair value of stock-based compensation (1,214 ) (324 ) (1,691 ) (865 ) Gain on fair value remeasurement (3,275 ) - (6,534 ) - Stock-based expenses 1,921 1,175 2,717 4,593 Gain on sale of trading securities (528 ) - (518 ) - Adjusted EBITDA 60 1,256 (2,411 ) 3,700 Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest 52 - 100 - Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Sadot Group Inc. 112 1,256 (2,311 ) 3,700 Gross Profit 2,512 3,078 2,170 7,749 Gross Profit attributable to Sadot Group Inc. 2,564 3,078 2,270 7,749 Net income / (loss) margin attributable to Sadot Group Inc. 1.3 % 0.1 % 0.7 % (0.2 )% Adjusted EBITDA margin attributable to Sadot Group Inc. 0.1 % 0.8 % (0.8 )% 1.0 % Forward-Looking Statements This press release may include "forward-looking statements" pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
