**Rubicon Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results**

*Full year 2022 Adjusted Gross Profit grew to $53.3 million, 14% higher compared to 2021. The Company expects to achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2023.*

**New York, NY (March 8, 2022)** – Rubicon Technologies, Inc. ("Rubicon" or the "Company") (NYSE: RBT), a leading digital marketplace for waste and recycling and provider of innovative software-based products for businesses and governments worldwide, today reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022.

**Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights** 

● Revenue was $166.0 million, 2% higher compared to $163.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

● Gross Profit was $6.8 million, 17% higher compared $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

● Net loss was $18.0 million versus a loss of $30.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

● Adjusted EBITDA was negative $17.6 million versus negative $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

**Full Year 2022 Financial Highlights** 

● Revenue was $675.4 million, which was 16% higher compared to $583.1 million the full year 2021.

● Gross Profit was $25.0 million for the full year 2022, an increase of 17% compared to $21.4 million generated in 2021.

● Adjusted Gross Profit was $53.3 million in 2022, an increase of 14% compared to the $46.9 million generated in 2021.

● Net loss for the full year 2022 was $281.8 million versus a loss of $73.2 million for the full year 2021.

● Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022 was a negative $74.3 million, compared to negative $57.7 million in 2021.

**Operational and Business Highlights**

● Rubicon made substantial progress on the 'Bridge to Profitability' plan during the quarter. This plan seeks to increase financial flexibility, curtail lower-ROI investments, achieve cost reductions, and increase profitability. The Company expects to generate positive Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2023.

● Rubicon raised over $39 million of net funded capital and successfully extended certain debt maturities, with the earliest maturities now due at the end of this year. The Company also upsized its revolving credit facility.

● In the fourth quarter, Rubicon signed a two-year extension and expansion of its contract with Walmart, which has been a flagship customer since 2013.

● Also in Q4 2022, Rubicon secured a three-year extension with Sweetgreen, the mission-driven restaurant brand which seeks to serve healthy food at scale. The partnership is enabling Rubicon to continue to expand Sweetgreen's waste diversion efforts and provide enhanced account management as its lead partner for waste, recycling, and composting services.

● In February, Rubicon established a multi-year channel sales partnership with Bartec, for the license of Rubicon's products across the UK, furthering progress in the Company's global expansion.

● In March, Rubicon announced significant growth within its RUBICONSmartCity business, adding 11 new customers in Q4 2022 including the cities of Rochester, NY; Manchester, NH: Surprise, AZ; and Rockville, MD. These cities chose RUBICONSmartCity to help them save money and run more efficient and effective solid waste collection operations.

"We are very proud of our achievements to date and are excited to begin our journey as a publicly traded company. It is a testament to the dedication and diligence of our team that we have already demonstrated significant progress against the goals we set out during our Q3 2022 earnings call," said Phil Rodoni, CEO of Rubicon. "We believe we have built the definitive platform for eliminating waste which enables us to provide a differentiated service offering to our customers. Our core business is strong, and we are focused on accelerating the Company's progress to profitability while driving Rubicon's next phase of growth."

**Fourth-Quarter Review**

In the fourth quarter, Revenue totaled $166.0 million, an increase of $2.7 million or 2% from $163.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This growth was driven primarily by increased service with both new and existing customers across business lines.

Gross Profit in the fourth quarter was $6.8 million, 17% higher compared $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The growth in Gross Profit was driven primarily by increased service with both new and existing customers across business lines.

In the fourth quarter, Adjusted Gross Profit was $13.4 million, a decrease of $0.1 million or 1% compared to $13.5 million generated in the fourth quarter 2021. This decline was driven by one-time customer expenses but was largely offset by stronger performance in the SaaS product lines.

Net loss was $18.0 million in the fourth quarter, an improvement of $12.3 million compared to $30.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Impacts from increased revenue and decrease in general and administrative expenses as a result of a $10.4 million gain on the settlement of certain management bonuses contributed to the result in the fourth quarter of 2022.

In the fourth quarter, Adjusted EBITDA was negative $17.6 million compared to negative $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Impacts from the Company's merger with Founder SPAC (the "Mergers") and strategic shift contributed to the result in the fourth quarter of 2022.

**Full-Year 2022 Review**

Revenue for the full year 2022 totaled $675.4 million, which was $92.3 million or 16% higher compared to the full year 2021. This revenue growth was driven by volume growth in the Company's core business.

Gross Profit in 2022 totaled $25.0 million, which was $3.6 million or 17% higher compared to $21.4 million in 2021. The growth in Gross Profit was driven primarily by continued expansion within the Company's existing customer base, as well as the addition of new customers.

In 2022, Adjusted Gross Profit totaled $53.3 million, an increase $6.4 million or 14% compared to $46.9 million generated in 2021. This growth was driven primarily by continued expansion within the Company's existing customer base, as well as the addition of new customers.

Net losses totaled $281.8 million in 2022, compared to net losses of $73.2 million in 2021. Impacts from nonrecurring expenses in connection with the Mergers, including management bonus payments and equity compensation costs, contributed to the annual result in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled a negative $74.3 million compared to negative $57.7 in 2021. Impacts from the Mergers and strategic shift as well as a software expense increase related to our license and strategic partnership agreement with Palantir contributed to the lower result in 2022.

**Strategic Progress** 

To address cash needs and increase working capital, the Company is currently in discussions with financing sources to potentially raise new equity and recapitalize debt prior to its maturity. In parallel, management is implementing additional measures to further reduce spending and extend cash availability. Though there is no guarantee the Company will be able to successfully implement any or all of its current plans, these initiatives are intended to increase financial flexibility and push out debt maturities with the ultimate goal of realizing greater shareholder value by improving Rubicon's financial position and future liquidity.

Rubicon is aiming to accelerate its progress to profitability, investing in its leading digital marketplace and suite of products, and further developing the strategic vision and execution plan for Rubicon's next phase of growth. Rubicon has increased focus on operational efficiencies and working to accelerate cost reduction measures across the organization, with a goal of thoughtfully and diligently optimizing margins across the portfolio. The Company will share additional information on its "bridge to profitability" plan in the coming quarters as we continue to develop our plans.

**Management Announcement** 

On February 21, 2023, Rubicon announced that the Company's President, Kevin Schubert, had been appointed Chief Financial Officer. Schubert had served as Rubicon's Chief Development Officer since August 2022, until the time of his appointment as President in October 2022. Schubert now oversees Rubicon's end-to-end financial operations and is working to further develop the financial infrastructure, teams, and processes to enable the Company to meet its strategic goals, including the acceleration of the Company's progress to profitability. In addition, Schubert also oversees Rubicon's legal function. Schubert brings a wealth of finance, legal, and corporate development experience to his roles as President and Chief Financial Officer. Prior to Rubicon, Schubert held senior executive and advisory roles with multiple public companies, including Red Rock Resorts Inc., the Las Vegas Sands Corp, and he recently held the role of Chief Financial Officer for Ocean Park Group, an early stage company focused on experiential hospitality.

All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this press release, are forward-looking statements. When used in this press release, the words "could," "should," "will," "may," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project," the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Rubicon and its management, are inherently uncertain; factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: 1) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Rubicon or others following the closing of the Mergers; 2) Rubicon's ability to meet the NYSE's listing standards following the consummation of the Mergers; 3) the risk that the Mergers disrupt current plans and operations of Rubicon as a result of consummation of the Mergers; 4) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, which may be affected by, among other things, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; 5) costs related to the Mergers; 6) changes in applicable laws or regulations; 7) the possibility that Rubicon may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the effects of inflation and potential recessionary conditions; 8) Rubicon's execution of anticipated operational efficiency initiatives and cost reduction measures; and 9) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, filed with the SEC, and other documents Rubicon has filed, with the SEC.

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

**Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin**

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") because they exclude, respectively, certain amounts included in Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin calculated in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, the Company calculates Adjusted Gross Profit by adding back amortization and depreciation for revenue generating activities and platform support costs to GAAP Gross Profit, the most comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is calculated as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by total GAAP revenue. Rubicon believes presenting Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is useful to investors because they show the progress in scaling Rubicon's digital platform by quantifying the markup and margin Rubicon charges its customers that are incremental to its marketplace vendor costs. These measures demonstrate this progress because changes in these measures are driven primarily by Rubicon's ability to optimize services for its customers, improve its hauling and recycling partners' efficiency and achieve economies of scale on both sides of the marketplace. Rubicon's management team uses these non-GAAP measures as one of the means to evaluate the profitability of Rubicon's customer accounts, exclusive of certain costs that are generally fixed in nature, and to assess how successful Rubicon is in achieving its pricing strategies. However, it is important to note that other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate and use these measures differently or not at all, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. Further, these measures should not be read in isolation from or without reference to our results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

**Adjusted EBITDA**

Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC because it excludes certain amounts included in net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, the Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude interest expense and income, income tax expense and benefit, amortization and depreciation, equity-based compensation, phantom unit expense, gain or loss on change in fair value of warrant liabilities, gain or loss on change in fair value of earn-out liabilities, gain or loss on change in fair value of forward purchase option derivative, excess fair value over the consideration received for SAFE, other non-operating income and expenses, and unique non-recurring income and expenses.

The Company has included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by Rubicon's management team to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses. Further, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends in Rubicon's operating results because it allows for more consistent comparisons of financial performance between periods by excluding gains and losses that are non-operational in nature or outside the control of management, as well as items that may differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which Rubicon operates and capital investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also often used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating and comparing Rubicon's results to other companies within the industry. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as Rubicon's management team and board of directors.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of net loss or other results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

● Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;

● Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;

● Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes;

● although amortization and depreciation are non-cash charges, the assets being amortized and depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

● Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which the Company may make adjustments in historical periods; and

● other companies in the industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
