used in this presentation, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," and similar expressions as they
relate to Ampal or Ampal's management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of Ampal

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Ampal uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation. Ampal uses non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental
measures of performance and believes these measures provide useful information to investors in evaluating our operations, period
over period. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for Ampal’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, investors should note that any non-
GAAP financial measures Ampal uses may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same
manner, as that of other companies. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures are included in this presentation.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax provision,
depreciation and amortization, adjusted for non recurring expenses. Management
believes adjusted EBITDA for 012 Smile and Gadot to be a meaningful indicator of
their performance that provides useful information to investors regarding their
financial condition and results of operations. Presentation of adjusted EBITDA is a
non-GAAP financial measure commonly used by management to measure
operating performance. While management considers adjusted EBITDA to be an
important measure of comparative operating performance, it should be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income and other
measures of financial performance reported in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash available
to fund cash requirements. Not all companies calculate adjusted EBITDA in the
same manner, and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly-
titled measures presented by other companies.
