GAIN Capital 2 Safe Harbor Statement Forward Looking Statements The forward-looking statements contained herein include, without limitation, statements relating to GAIN Capital’s and/or City Index (Holdings) Limited (“City Index”) expectations regarding the opportunities and strengths of the combined company created by the business combination, anticipated cost and revenue synergies, the strategic rationale for the business combination, including expectations regarding product offerings, growth opportunities, value creation, and financial strength. All forward looking statements are based upon current expectations and beliefs and various assumptions. There can be no assurance that GAIN Capital or City Index will realize these expectations or that these beliefs will prove correct. In addition, a variety of important factors could cause results to differ materially from such statements. These factors are noted throughout GAIN Capital’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2015 (as updated or supplemented by the information set forth in GAIN Capital’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is expected to be filed on March 15, 2016), and include, but are not limited to, the actions of both current and potential new competitors, fluctuations in market trading volumes, financial market volatility, evolving industry regulations, errors or malfunctions in GAIN Capital’s systems or technology, rapid changes in technology, effects of inflation, customer trading patterns, the success of our products and service offerings, our ability to continue to innovate and meet the demands of our customers for new or enhanced products, our ability to successfully integrate assets and companies we have acquired, our ability to effectively compete, changes in tax policy or accounting rules, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices, adverse changes or volatility in interest rates, as well as general economic, business, credit and financial market conditions, internationally or nationally, and our ability to continue paying a quarterly dividend in light of future financial performance and financing needs. The forward-looking statements included herein represent GAIN Capital’s views as of the date of this release. GAIN Capital undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason unless required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains various non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and various “pro forma” non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations, including that they do not have a standardized meaning and, therefore, our definitions may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts. Thus, it may be more difficult to compare our financial performance to that of other companies. We believe our reporting of these non-GAAP financial measures assists investors in evaluating our historical and expected operating performance. However, because these are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, such measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of our financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as net income.
