Selected Third Quarter and Recent 2021 Business Highlights New Business Activities Telos continued to bring on new airlines within the Designated Aviation Channeling business, adding three additional airlines in the third quarter and receiving option-year extensions from current airport customers. The most notable expansion within the practice is the United Parcel Service (UPS) announcing its full use of Telos services for cargo security-threat assessments and criminal history record checks later this year. The Federal government requested expanded services from Telos’ Security Solutions and Secure Networks groups in support of a confidential healthcare program. A customer since 1995, the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC), awarded Telos option-year three through mid-September 2022. The IDTrust360® solution supports the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) within its security and common access card programs; as part of the DMDC award, Telos received over $22 million in orders in the third quarter. A special customer utilizing Telos Ghost® for an intelligence support solution executed an option year. Xacta® continued to provide considerable value to customers navigating FedRAMP. For instance, VMware selected Xacta to support its FedRAMP compliance efforts, and Salesforce renewed an annual license of Xacta in support of its FedRAMP requirements. The company had a solid quarter of Xacta renewals with existing government customers, including the National Security Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Social Security Administration and others. In the third quarter, Telos successfully added the Xacta and Telos Ghost solutions to 11 state and local government, and education market (SLED) purchasing contracts, both regional and state-specific. Partner Enhancements The Telos CyberProtect Partner Program continued to progress. The dedicated channel team grew to 10 members, supported by other strategic hires within the sales and marketing organization. They have a total of 20 partners in the Telos CyberProtect Partner Program ecosystem – most of which have both a government and a commercial enterprise practice, with the ability to help Telos penetrate new markets. Telos announced a partnership with AWS, Splunk, and stackArmor around an initiative called FASTTR, which benefits independent software providers and regulated defense contractors that are required to comply with complex federal, state, and local government security regulations. Red Hat, Inc. and Wickr were the first customers of the FASTTR program. This partnership is an example of how Telos can embed its technology into a partner-driven solution. Financial Outlook Previous Guidance Current Guidance Revenue $283 – $295 Million $240 – $245 Million YoY Organic Growth 57% – 64% 33% – 36% Adjusted EBITDA1 $33 – $36 Million $18 – $19 Million YoY Adjusted EBITDA Growth 190% – 216% 58% – 67% 1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. This guidance consists of forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements section below for information on the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has not provided the most directly comparable GAAP measure to this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure because certain items are out of the Company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation for forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA is not available without unreasonable effort. Conference Call Information Telos will host a live webcast to discuss its third quarter 2021 financial results at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time today, November 15, 2021. To access the webcast, visit https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/adau5ywx. Related presentation materials will be made available on the Investors section of the Company’s website at https://investors.telos.com. In addition, an archived webcast will be available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the live event on the Investors section of the Company’s website. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements which are made under the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on the Company’s management’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions about future events, conditions and results and on information currently available to them. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. The Company believes that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth from time to time in the Company’s filings and reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and their Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as future filings and reports by the Company, copies of which are available at https://investors.telos.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Although the Company bases these forward-looking statements on assumptions that they believe are reasonable when made, they caution the reader that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that the Company’s actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments may differ materially from statements made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this release. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond their control, the Company cautions the reader not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of such statement and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement publicly, or to revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or developments occurring after the date of the statement, even if new information becomes available in the future. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to its results determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Sales Growth, Enterprise EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow are useful in evaluating its operating performance. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively with the Company’s GAAP results, may be helpful to readers of its financial statements because that information provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided below for each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and evaluate its core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve its annual budget, to develop short-term and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparison of its operating performance on a consistent basis between periods by excluding certain items that may, or could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on its results of operations in any particular period. When viewed in combination with the Company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP, these non-GAAP financial measures help provide a broader picture of factors and trends affecting the Company’s results of operations. Enterprise EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow are supplemental measures of operating performance that are not made under GAAP and do not represent, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), earnings per share or net cash flows provided by operating activities, as determined by GAAP. The Company defines Enterprise EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Telos Corporation, adjusted for net income attributable to non-controlling interest, non-operating (expense) income, interest expense, (benefit) provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Enterprise EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, the gain realized on redemption of the public preferred stock upon the closing of the initial public offering, the losses realized on the extinguishment of senior term loan and subordinated debt upon the closing of the initial public offering, bonuses paid as a result of the closing of the initial public offering, and other expenses related to the initial public offering. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) attributable to Telos Corporation, adjusted for non-operating expense (income) and stock-based compensation expense. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Free cash flow is defined by the Company as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditure. Each of Enterprise EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and the reader should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Among other limitations, each of Enterprise EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, and Free Cash Flow does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments, does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be indicative of its ongoing operations, and does not reflect income tax expense or benefit. Other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, and Free Cash Flow differently than the Company does, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, each of Enterprise EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as a replacement for net income (loss), earnings per share or net cash flows provided by operating activities, as determined by GAAP, or as a measure of the Company’s profitability. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only for supplemental purposes.
