About LDR Holding Corporation
LDR Holding Corporation is a global medical device company focused on designing and commercializing novel and proprietary surgical technologies for the treatment of patients suffering from spine disorders. LDR's primary products are based on its exclusive VerteBRIDGE fusion and Mobi non-fusion technology platforms and are designed for applications in the cervical and lumbar spine. These technologies enable products that are less invasive, provide greater intra-operative flexibility, offer simplified surgical techniques and promote improved clinical outcomes for patients as compared to existing alternatives. LDR recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Mobi-C cervical disc replacement device, the first and only cervical disc replacement device to receive FDA approval to treat both one-level and two-level cervical disc disease. For more information regarding LDR Holding, visit www.ldr.com.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement LDR's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), LDR uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in a table later in this release immediately following the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Management defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus stock-based compensation expense and change in fair value of common stock warrants. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is a useful indicator of operating performance. LDR's management uses Adjusted EBITDA principally as a measure of operating performance and believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to LDR. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of the annual operating budget and financial projections.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of the Company's liquidity or operating performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of net income

3



(loss) from operations as determined under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before using these measures to evaluate the Company's liquidity or financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not include certain expenses that may be necessary to review LDR's operating results and liquidity requirements. Management's definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies.
