Safe Harbor Statement

Exa Corporation. All rights reserved.

Today’s presentation includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the
Safe
Harbor
from
liability
established
by
the
Private
Securities
Litigation
Reform
Act
of 1995.These forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our
financial expectations, demand for our solutions and growth in our markets, are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements.  These
factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in our registration
statement on Form S-1, declared effective by the SEC on June 27, 2012. Forward-
looking information in this presentation represents our outlook as of today, and we do
not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
During today's presentation we may refer to our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
Operating Income. These are non-GAAP financial measures that have been adjusted
for certain non-cash and other items, and that are not computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The GAAP measure most comparable to
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
our
net
income
(loss).
The
GAAP
measure
most
comparable
to
Adjusted
Operating
Income
is
our
operating
income.
Reconciliations
of
our
historical
Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss) and our Adjusted Operating Income to our
operating income are included herein.

Note:
To
supplement
our
consolidated
financial
statements,
which
are
presented
on
a
GAAP
basis,
we
disclose
Adjusted
EBITDA,
a
non-GAAP
measure
that
excludes certain
amounts. This non-GAAP measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measure most comparable
to Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss). A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP measure is included above.
We define EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and other income (expense), foreign exchange gain (loss) and provision for income
taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure when
evaluating
our
operating
performance
and
for
internal
planning
and
forecasting
purposes.
We
believe
that
this
measure
helps
indicate
underlying
trends
in
our
business,
is important
in comparing current results with prior period results, and is useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing our operating performance. For example, management considers
Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of our operational strength and the performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends. However,
Adjusted EBITDA may have limitations as an analytical tool.
The non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in
accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of our liquidity. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further,
these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that
of other companies.
In considering our Adjusted EBITDA, investors should take into account the above reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the
comparable
GAAP
financial
measure
of
net
income
(loss)
that
is
presented
in
this
“Summary
Consolidated
Financial
Information”
in
our 
registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC.
