Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company s goals, targets, projections, outlooks, beliefs, expectations, strategy, plans, objectives of management for future operations of
the Company, and growth opportunities are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as may, will, expect, anticipate,
target, aim, estimate, intend, plan, believe, potential, continue, is/are likely to or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements
are based upon estimates and forecasts and reflect the views, assumptions, expectations, and opinions of the Company, which involve inherent risks and uncertainties, therefore they should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future
results. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to: the Company s ability to further develop and grow its business, including new
products and services; its ability to execute on its new business strategy in genomics, precision oncology, and specifically, early detection for cancer; the results of case control studies and/or clinical trials; and its ability to identify and
execute on M&A opportunities, especially in precision oncology. In addition to the foregoing factors, you should also carefully consider the other risks and uncertainties described in the Risk Factors section of the Company s
most recent registration statement and the prospectus therein, and the other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All information provided in this press release is as of the date of this
press release, and the Company does not undertake any duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.
Basis of Presentation
Unaudited Financial Information and Non-IFRS Financial Measures has been provided in the financial statements
tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading Unaudited Financial Information and Non-IFRS Financial Measures.
Unaudited Financial Information and Non-IFRS Financial Measures
To supplement Prenetics consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ), the
Company is providing non-IFRS measures, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted gross profit from continuing operations and adjusted (loss)/profit attributable to equity shareholders of Prenetics.
These non-IFRS financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by IFRS and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. Management
believes these non-IFRS financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company s ongoing operating results and trends.
Management is excluding from some or all of its non-IFRS results (1) Employee equity-settled share-based payment
expenses, (2) depreciation and amortization, (3) finance income and exchange gain or loss, net, and (4) certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook, including but not limited to non-cash and/ or non-recurring items. These non-IFRS financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that
may have a material impact on the reported financial results. Management accounts for this limitation by analyzing results on an IFRS basis as well as a non-IFRS basis and also by providing IFRS measures in
the Company s public disclosures.
In addition, other companies, including companies in the same industry, may not use the same non-IFRS measures or may calculate these metrics in a different manner than management or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of these non-IFRS measures as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, the Company s non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a
substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review the non-IFRS reconciliations provided in the tables captioned Reconciliation of loss from
operations from continuing operations under IFRS and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (Non-IFRS) , Reconciliation of gross profit from continuing operations under IFRS and adjusted gross
profit from continuing operations (Non-IFRS) and Reconciliation of (loss)/profit attributable to equity shareholders of Prenetics under IFRS and adjusted (loss)/profit attributable to equity
shareholders of Prenetics (Non-IFRS) set forth at the end of this document.
