© comScore, Inc. Proprietary. 2 During this presentation, we make certain forward-looking statements concerning plans and expectations for comScore, Inc. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. See the risk factors contained in comScore’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and Quarterly Report on Form 10- Q for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and other filings comScore makes from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s web site (http://www.sec.gov) for risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made. comScore does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or new information after the date of this presentation, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Cautionary Statement

© comScore, Inc. Proprietary. 3 The presentation contains information regarding "cash flow from recurring business operations", a non-GAAP financial measure not determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The presentation of this non-GAAP measure is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from the non-GAAP financial measure used by other companies. Rather, the information, as well as the impact of other sources and uses of cash, is included in order to provide investors with an understanding of the estimated cash flows over certain of the periods covered by the Company’s pending re-audit. The components of cash flow information included herein are estimates, and are subject to change as the Company completes the pending re-audit process. While the information relates to prior periods, due to the ongoing restatement and re- audit process it nevertheless represents estimates and expectations rather than final amounts. Given the uncertainties and assumptions discussed herein with respect to the financial re-audit process, our actual GAAP results may differ materially from our current expectations. As the most directly comparable GAAP measure would be forward-looking due to the ongoing financial re-audit process and is not currently accessible, reconciling our cash flow from recurring business operations is not currently possible without unreasonable effort and we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to our re-audited financial results. Cautionary Statement
