the unmet needs of people with ADHD. This immediately accretive transaction meaningfully advances our ambition to build a leading, diversified

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented
on a GAAP basis, we have included information about certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP
financial measures, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provide analysts, investors, lenders,
and other third parties with insights into how we evaluate normal operational activities, including our ability to generate cash from
operations, on a comparable year-over-year basis and manage our budgeting and forecasting. In addition, certain non-GAAP financial measures,
primarily adjusted EBITDA, are used to measure performance when determining components of annual compensation for substantially all non-sales
force employees, including senior management.
In this press release we discuss the following financial measures that
are not calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure
that represents GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest income, the benefit from or provision for income
taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other adjustments to reflect changes that occur in our business but do
not represent ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA, as used by us, may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable
to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
There are several limitations related to the use
of adjusted EBITDA rather than net income or loss, which is the nearest GAAP equivalent, such as:
The Company has not provided a reconciliation
of its full-year 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, in reliance on the unreasonable
efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, because the Company is unable to predict, without unreasonable
efforts, the timing and amount of items that would be included in such a reconciliation, including, but not limited to, stock-based compensation
expense, acquisition related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and changes in fair value of contingent consideration.
These items are uncertain and depend on various factors that are outside of the Company's control or cannot be reasonably predicted.
While the Company is unable to address the probable significance of these items, they could have a material impact on GAAP net income
and operating expenses for the guidance period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA would imply a degree of precision and certainty as
to these future items that does not exist and could be confusing to investors.
