2 Disclaimers: Forward Looking Statements and Use of Non-GAAP Information This presentation includes statements concerning Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. and its future expectations, plans and prospects that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
