**PONY AI Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results with Continued Growth in Robotaxi Revenues and Expanding Fleet Deployment**

· **Robotaxi revenues growth** — Robotaxi revenues grew by 395.4% year-over-year in Q1, with fare-charging
revenues rising by 456.5%.

· **Updating 2026 growth targets** — We raise our 2026 Robotaxi revenues target from 3 times to more than 3.5 times the level in 2025 and year-end Robotaxi fleet size target
from 3,000 units to over 3,500 units <sup>1</sup>.

· **Increasing User Demand & Order Volume** — Demonstrating resilience against typical industry seasonality, user base and paid order volume grew month-over-month year to date. Notably,
average weekly paid orders in May 2026 increased by 119% compared to January <sup>2</sup>, and our registered users more than
tripled year-over-year <sup>3</sup>.

· **Broadening domestic and overseas deployment** — Our Robotaxi fleet has exceeded 1,700 units <sup>4</sup>. In China, we expanded into core urban areas of Guangzhou. Globally, we initiated
our Robotaxi deployment in Croatia together with our local partners, marking the first commercial Robotaxi service in Europe.

New York, May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pony AI Inc. ("Pony.ai" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026), a global leader in achieving large-scale mass production and commercialization of autonomous driving technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Dr. James Peng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pony.ai, commented, "We made continued progress across the domestic and overseas markets in the first quarter of 2026. Our Robotaxi fare-charging revenues saw an over five-fold increase year-over-year. Today, we have continued to scale our commercial operation, supported by scaled fleet, technological and operational capabilities, and user experience. Building on this foundation, we are pleased to raise the 2026 targets we set earlier this year, and now expect to end the year with a Robotaxi fleet exceeding 3,500 vehicles deployed in over 20 cities worldwide, and Robotaxi revenues to reach over 3.5 times the amount recorded in 2025 <sup>1</sup>. Supported by our dual-engine strategy and joint deployment model, we will continue to provide safe and reliable Robotaxi services at scale, promoting the sustainable development of the autonomous driving industry and the broader society."

Dr. Tiancheng Lou, Chief Technology Officer of Pony.ai, commented, "Safety is the foundation of everything we build at Pony.ai, and it is embedded across our autonomous driving stack, vehicle design and daily operations. At the algorithm level, reinforcement learning and world models allow us to operate in a vast range of complex, safety-critical scenarios — from dense urban roads and rush hour traffic to rare but challenging corner cases — delivering safety performance meaningfully above human drivers. At the vehicle level, we have achieved fail-operational capabilities through system-wide software and hardware redundancy. Even in the event of software or hardware component failure, the vehicle can continue to navigate safely and pull over safely at a suitable roadside location if necessary. Beyond the technology, safety is also embedded into our governance and day-to-day operations. A dedicated safety governance team ensures controls across the lifecycle, while enhanced operational safeguards and ground support capabilities enable us to manage unexpected situations with speed, discipline and accountability. As our fully-driverless Robotaxi fleet continues to scale, the multi-layered safety framework will remain critical to our technology leadership and long-term commercialization."

Dr. Leo Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Pony.ai, commented, "In the first quarter, we continued to make progress on commercialization, delivering quarterly revenues of US$34.3 million, up 145.0% year-over-year. Robotaxi revenues increased 395.4% year-over-year, with fare-charging revenues growing 456.5%, reflecting the continuous scaling of our fleet operations. We also continued to make disciplined investments in the seventh generation ("Gen-7") Robotaxi deployment, technology optimization and future bill-of-materials ("BOM") cost reduction to support further scaling up. We believe our balance sheet and improving operating leverage position us well to pursue our 2026 objectives."

***<u>Accelerating Robotaxi Commercialization Through Scaled Fleet Deployment, Technology and Operational Capabilities, and User Experience</u>***

· **Revenues Growth and Operating Progress.** 1) Our Robotaxi business sustained consistent month-over-month
growth year to date across key commercialization indicators, including fleet scale, user base and paid order volume, demonstrating resilience
against typical industry seasonality in mobility demand. 2) Registered users in China more than tripled year-over-year <sup>3</sup>.3)
Average weekly paid orders in May 2026 grew by 119% compared to January <sup>2</sup>, reflecting growth in user adoption and
ride frequency.

· **Scaling Fleet Deployment with Improved Cost Efficiency.** 1) Robotaxi fleet size reached more than
 1,700 units <sup>4</sup>, as we continued the rollout of our Gen-7 vehicles across Beijing
 Automotive Industry Corporation ("BAIC"), Guangzhou Automotive Corporation ("GAC"),
 and Toyota. We have upwardly revised our initial year-end fleet size target of 3,000 units
 and are positioned to surpass 3,500 units by the end of the year <sup>1</sup>. 2) The upgraded
 Gen-7 Robotaxi, showcased at the Beijing Auto Show, further demonstrates our cost optimization
 roadmap. By mid-2027, we are targeting a total BOM cost of below RMB230,000 for the domestic
 market, which includes both the autonomous driving kits ("ADK") and the base
 vehicle, to support future large-scale deployment. 3) Driven by technological advancements,
 scale expansion, and optimized operational efficiency, we continue to reduce daily operating
 cost per vehicle.

· **Expanding Operational Coverage Through Our Dual-Engine Strategy and Joint Deployment Model.** 1)
In China, we continued to broaden our operational footprint, entering into Guangzhou's core urban areas including Haizhu District, with
coverage extending to high-traffic destinations like Canton Tower and the Pazhou headquarters cluster. 2) Globally, we initiated our Robotaxi
deployment in Croatia together with our local partners, marking the first commercial Robotaxi service in Europe. Concurrently, we are
initiating driverless deployments in Dubai. We have established a presence in 9 countries, and started services to the public in 4 overseas
markets, including Croatia, Qatar, Singapore and South Korea <sup>3</sup>. 3) Our joint deployment model with partners such as OnTime
Mobility and Verne has started generating revenues in the first quarter of 2026, complementing our core fare-charging Robotaxi revenues
and enabling more efficient use of capital in fleet deployment. 4) We remain on track to expand our Robotaxi footprint to over 20 cities
worldwide by year-end, supported by our dual-engine strategy and joint deployment model across diverse regulatory and operating environments.

· **Strengthening Operational and Service Capabilities as Key Advantages for Sustainable Commercialization.** 1) Our ability to navigate highly complex scenarios enables our Robotaxis to serve peak-hour demand and high-traffic urban areas, supporting
more frequent use cases and daily mobility needs. 2) Despite post-discount fares being above the entry-level ride-hailing options, demand
on our PonyPilot app remained strong. 3) To support sustainable scaling, we continue
to optimize ground operations, from charging efficiency to dispatching algorithms, keeping our fleet in good operating condition, improving
utilization, reducing operating costs and delivering smoother, more reliable journeys.

***<u>Strengthening Scalable Level 4 Autonomous Driving Through World Model, Fail-Operational Redundancy and Smart Fleet Management</u>***

· **Self-Improving World Model.** 1) Level 4 driverless systems must achieve safety performance substantially
beyond human drivers to support large-scale deployment, which cannot rely solely on imitating human driving behavior or accumulating Level
2 assisted-driving data. 2) As the virtual driver becomes increasingly advanced, human evaluation alone is no longer sufficient. Further
model improvement increasingly requires AI-powered evaluation and self-iteration. 3) Our world model is designed to generate, validate
and evaluate complex safety-critical scenarios at scale, allowing the virtual driver to continuously learn, improve and evolve through
an AI-driven closed loop.

· **Fail-Operational Safeguards.** 1) Our vehicles are designed with multi-layered redundancy to achieve
fail-operational capability, allowing the system to remain functional even if certain hardware or software components fail. 2) Our vehicles
are designed to operate safely without relying on network or GPS connectivity, and in the event of software or hardware component failure,
can continue operating safely and select an appropriate location to pull over, rather than stop abruptly in the middle of a lane.

· **End-to-End Fleet Management Capabilities.** 1) Dedicated safety governance teams embed safety controls
across daily operation, helping prevent operational risks before they arise. 2) High-standard operational safeguards and efficient ground
support capabilities enable rapid and disciplined responses to unexpected situations.

***<u>Solid Progress in Robotruck Business and Expansion into Adjacent Autonomous Driving Opportunities</u>***

· **Continued Progress in Robotruck Across Revenues, Capacity and Ecosystem.** 1) Long-haul operations
continued to drive Robotruck business growth in the first quarter. 2) We will advance our fourth generation ("Gen-4") Robotruck
toward mass production in the second half of this year, with early-production vehicles rolling off the production line.

· **Expanding into Adjacent Autonomous Driving Opportunities.** 1) We launched a driverless light truck
in April 2026 based on the same safety architecture and fail-operational redundancy as our Robotaxi platform, extending our autonomous
driving capabilities into the light commercial vehicle segment. 2) Autonomous Domain Controller ("ADC") deliveries increased
by over five times year-over-year in the first quarter, primarily driven by low-speed delivery solutions, reflecting broader applications
of our autonomous driving technology across adjacent use cases.

1 The outlook is based on the information currently available to the Company and its current assessment of its business plan and operating environment, and is subject to change in light of future developments and actual business performance. Actual results may differ materially from such expectation. Please also refer to the Safe Harbor Statement contained in this press release.

expansion and enhance our R&D capabilities.

**Net Loss**

· **Net loss** was US$53.5 million (RMB369.1 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to
 US$37.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. **Non-GAAP net loss** was US$41.2 million (RMB284.1 million) in the first quarter
 of 2026, compared to US$23.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increases were mainly attributable to non-operating items,
 primarily reflecting a decrease in investment income, partly due to a higher base in the first quarter of 2025 resulting from
 certain realized investment gains, coupled with a moderate increase in operating expenses.

**Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Ordinary Share**

· **Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share** was both US$0.12 (RMB0.83) in the first quarter of
2026, compared to US$0.12 in the first quarter of 2025.

· **Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share** was both US$0.09 (RMB0.62) in the first
quarter of 2026, compared to US$0.08 in the first quarter of 2025. Each American depositary share ()"**ADS**") represents
one Class A ordinary share.

**Balance Sheet**

· **Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash and long-term debt instruments for wealth management** were US$1,435.5 million (RMB9,902.2 million) as of March 31, 2026, compared to the balance of US$1,514.8 million
as of December 31, 2025. The decrease reflects planned use of cash for operating and R&D activities. **Capital expenditures** were US$12.5 million (RMB85.9 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to US$4.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily
attributable to investments in Gen-7 mass production and deployment, coupled with early stock-building efforts for ADKs designed to facilitate
upcoming mass production, as well as expenditures for data centers and servers.

weekly paid orders in May 2026 increased by 119% compared to January 2 , and our registered users
more than tripled year-over-year 3 .

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Broadening domestic and overseas deployment** — Our Robotaxi
fleet has exceeded 1,700 units 4 . In China, we expanded into core urban areas of Guangzhou. Globally,
we initiated our Robotaxi deployment in Croatia together with our local partners, marking the first commercial Robotaxi service in Europe.

NEW YORK, May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pony AI Inc. ("**Pony.ai**" or the "**Company**") (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026), a global leader in achieving large-scale mass production and commercialization of autonomous driving technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Dr. James Peng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pony.ai, commented, "We made continued progress across the domestic and overseas markets in the first quarter of 2026. Our Robotaxi fare-charging revenues saw an over five-fold increase year-over-year. Today, we have continued to scale our commercial operation, supported by scaled fleet, technological and operational capabilities, and user experience. Building on this foundation, we are pleased to raise the 2026 targets we set earlier this year, and now expect to end the year with a Robotaxi fleet exceeding 3,500 vehicles deployed in over 20 cities worldwide, and Robotaxi revenues to reach over 3.5 times the amount recorded in 2025<sup>1</sup>. Supported by our dual-engine strategy and joint deployment model, we will continue to provide safe and reliable Robotaxi services at scale, promoting the sustainable development of the autonomous driving industry and the broader society."

Dr. Tiancheng Lou, Chief Technology Officer of Pony.ai, commented, "Safety is the foundation of everything we build at Pony.ai, and it is embedded across our autonomous driving stack, vehicle design and daily operations. At the algorithm level, reinforcement learning and world models allow us to operate in a vast range of complex, safety-critical scenarios — from dense urban roads and rush hour traffic to rare but challenging corner cases — delivering safety performance meaningfully above human drivers. At the vehicle level, we have achieved fail-operational capabilities through system-wide software and hardware redundancy. Even in the event of software or hardware component failure, the vehicle can continue to navigate safely and pull over safely at a suitable roadside location if necessary. Beyond the technology, safety is also embedded into our governance and day-to-day operations. A dedicated safety governance team ensures controls across the lifecycle, while enhanced operational safeguards and ground support capabilities enable us to manage unexpected situations with speed, discipline and accountability. As our fully-driverless Robotaxi fleet continues to scale, the multi-layered safety framework will remain critical to our technology leadership and long-term commercialization."

Dr. Leo Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Pony.ai, commented, "In the first quarter, we continued to make progress on commercialization, delivering quarterly revenues of US$34.3 million, up 145.0% year-over-year. Robotaxi revenues increased 395.4% year-over-year, with fare-charging revenues growing 456.5%, reflecting the continuous scaling of our fleet operations. We also continued to make disciplined investments in the seventh generation ("**Gen-7**") Robotaxi deployment, technology optimization and future bill-of-materials ("**BOM**") cost reduction to support further scaling up. We believe our balance sheet and improving operating leverage position us well to pursue our 2026 objectives."

***Accelerating Robotaxi Commercialization Through Scaled Fleet Deployment, Technology and Operational Capabilities, and User Experience***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Revenues Growth and Operating Progress.** 1) Our Robotaxi business
sustained consistent month-over-month growth year to date across key commercialization indicators, including fleet scale, user base and
paid order volume, demonstrating resilience against typical industry seasonality in mobility demand. 2) Registered users in China more
than tripled year-over-year<sup>3</sup>. 3) Average weekly paid orders in May 2026 grew by 119% compared to January 2 , reflecting
growth in user adoption and ride frequency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Scaling Fleet Deployment with Improved Cost Efficiency.** 1) Robotaxi
fleet size reached more than 1,700 units4 , as we continued the rollout of our Gen-7 vehicles across Beijing Automotive Industry
Corporation ()"**BAIC** "), Guangzhou Automotive Corporation ()"**GAC** "), and Toyota. We have upwardly revised
our initial year-end fleet size target of 3,000 units and are positioned to surpass 3,500 units by the end of the year<sup>1</sup>. 2)
The upgraded Gen-7 Robotaxi, showcased at the Beijing Auto Show, further demonstrates our cost optimization roadmap. By mid-2027, we are
targeting a total BOM cost of below RMB230,000 for the domestic market, which includes both the autonomous driving kits ()"**ADK** ")
and the base vehicle, to support future large-scale deployment. 3) Driven by technological advancements, scale expansion, and optimized
operational efficiency, we continue to reduce daily operating cost per vehicle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Expanding Operational Coverage Through Our Dual-Engine Strategy and Joint Deployment Model.** 1)
In China, we continued to broaden our operational footprint, entering into Guangzhou's core urban areas including Haizhu District,
with coverage extending to high-traffic destinations like Canton Tower and the Pazhou headquarters cluster. 2) Globally, we initiated
our Robotaxi deployment in Croatia together with our local partners, marking the first commercial Robotaxi service in Europe. Concurrently,
we are initiating driverless deployments in Dubai. We have established a presence in 9 countries, and started services to the public in
4 overseas markets, including Croatia, Qatar, Singapore and South Korea<sup>3</sup>. 3) Our joint deployment model with partners such
as OnTime Mobility and Verne has started generating revenues in the first quarter of 2026, complementing our core fare-charging Robotaxi
revenues and enabling more efficient use of capital in fleet deployment. 4) We remain on track to expand our Robotaxi footprint to over
20 cities worldwide by year-end, supported by our dual-engine strategy and joint deployment model across diverse regulatory and operating
environments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Strengthening Operational and Service Capabilities as Key Advantages for Sustainable Commercialization.** 1) Our ability to navigate highly complex scenarios enables our Robotaxis to serve peak-hour demand and high-traffic urban areas,
supporting more frequent use cases and daily mobility needs. 2) Despite post-discount fares being above the entry-level ride-hailing options,
demand on our PonyPilot app remained strong. 3) To support sustainable scaling, we continue to optimize ground operations, from charging
efficiency to dispatching algorithms, keeping our fleet in good operating condition, improving utilization, reducing operating costs and
delivering smoother, more reliable journeys.

***Strengthening Scalable Level 4 Autonomous Driving Through World Model, Fail-Operational Redundancy and Smart Fleet Management***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Self-Improving World Model.** 1) Level 4 driverless systems must achieve safety performance substantially
beyond human drivers to support large-scale deployment, which cannot rely solely on imitating human driving behavior or accumulating Level
2 assisted-driving data. 2) As the virtual driver becomes increasingly advanced, human evaluation alone is no longer sufficient. Further
model improvement increasingly requires AI-powered evaluation and self-iteration. 3) Our world model is designed to generate, validate
and evaluate complex safety-critical scenarios at scale, allowing the virtual driver to continuously learn, improve and evolve through
an AI-driven closed loop.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Fail-Operational Safeguards.** 1) Our vehicles are designed with multi-layered redundancy to achieve
fail-operational capability, allowing the system to remain functional even if certain hardware or software components fail. 2) Our vehicles
are designed to operate safely without relying on network or GPS connectivity, and in the event of software or hardware component failure,
can continue operating safely and select an appropriate location to pull over, rather than stop abruptly in the middle of a lane.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **End-to-End Fleet Management Capabilities.** 1) Dedicated safety governance teams embed safety controls
across daily operation, helping prevent operational risks before they arise. 2) High-standard operational safeguards and efficient ground
support capabilities enable rapid and disciplined responses to unexpected situations.

***Solid Progress in Robotruck Business and Expansion into Adjacent Autonomous Driving Opportunities***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Continued Progress in Robotruck Across Revenues, Capacity and Ecosystem.** 1) Long-haul operations
continued to drive Robotruck business growth in the first quarter. 2) We will advance our fourth generation ()"**Gen-4** ")
Robotruck toward mass production in the second half of this year, with early-production vehicles rolling off the production line.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Expanding into Adjacent Autonomous Driving Opportunities.** 1) We launched a driverless light truck
in April 2026 based on the same safety architecture and fail-operational redundancy as our Robotaxi platform, extending our autonomous
driving capabilities into the light commercial vehicle segment. 2) Autonomous Domain Controller ()"**ADC**") deliveries
increased by over five times year-over-year in the first quarter, primarily driven by low-speed delivery solutions, reflecting broader
applications of our autonomous driving technology across adjacent use cases.

<sup>1</sup> The outlook is based on the information currently available to the Company and its current assessment of its business plan and operating environment, and is subject to change in light of future developments and actual business performance. Actual results may differ materially from such expectation. Please also refer to the Safe Harbor Statement contained in this press release.

expansion and enhance our R&D capabilities.

**Net Loss**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Net loss** was US$53.5 million (RMB369.1 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to US$37.4
million in the first quarter of 2025. **Non-GAAP net loss** was US$41.2 million (RMB284.1 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared
to US$23.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increases were mainly attributable to non-operating items, primarily reflecting a
decrease in investment income, partly due to a higher base in the first quarter of 2025 resulting from certain realized investment gains
coupled with a moderate increase in operating expenses.

**Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Ordinary Share**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share** was both US$0.12 (RMB0.83) in the first quarter of
2026, compared to US$0.12 in the first quarter of 2025. **Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share** was both US$0.09
(RMB0.62) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to US$0.08 in the first quarter of 2025. Each American depositary share ()"**ADS** ")
represents one Class A ordinary share.

**Balance Sheet**

**Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash and long-term debt instruments for wealth management** were US$1,435.5 million (RMB9,902.2 million) as of March 31, 2026, compared to the balance of US$1,514.8 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease reflects planned use of cash for operating and R&D activities. **Capital expenditures** were US$12.5 million (RMB85.9 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to US$4.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily attributable to investments in Gen-7 mass production and deployment, coupled with early stock-building efforts for ADKs designed to facilitate upcoming mass production, as well as expenditures for data centers and servers.

<sup>6</sup> Non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expenses and changes in fair value of trading securities. Such adjustment has no impact on income tax. For further details, see the "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this earnings release.

**<u>Exchange Rate</u>**

This press release contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars ("**USD**") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to USD were made at the rate of RMB6.8980 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on March 31, 2026, in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or USD amounts referred could be converted into USD or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all. For analytical presentation, all percentages are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial statements contained in this earnings release.

**<u>Non-GAAP Financial Measures</u>**

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to Pony AI Inc., non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share, and non-GAAP free cash flows, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and changes in fair value of trading securities, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this earnings release.

<sup>8</sup> Free Cash Flows are a non-GAAP measure, commonly defined as cash flows from operating activities as presented in the statement of cash flows, less capital expenditures. However, in the context of the Company, operating cash flows are a cash out (i.e., a cash outflow). Free Cash Flows represent the total of operating cash outflows plus capital expenditures. This metric reflects the Company's important cash outflows, as it combines the funds required to maintain operations and invest in growth.
