In addition to the information presented herein, you are advised to read the Offering Circular, which contains additional information, including information regarding the risks faced by the Company in its operations and the risks involved in an investment in the Company . The entire contents of this Presentation is qualified by the Offering Circular and the Screen Media 8 - K . This Presentation includes “forward - looking statements” and projections . CSS Entertainment’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements or projections as predictions of future events . Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward - looking statements . These forward - looking statements and projections include, without limitation, estimates and projections of future performance, which are based on numerous assumptions about sales, margins, competitive factors, industry performance and other factors which cannot be predicted . Therefore, the actual results of operations are likely to vary from the projections and the variations may be material and adverse . The projections should not be regarded as a representation or prediction that CSS Entertainment will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular results . CSS Entertainment cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward - looking statements and projections, which speak only as of the date made . CSS Entertainment does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward - looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based . The Company uses a non - GAAP financial measure to evaluate its results of operations and as a supplemental indicator of our operating performance . The non - GAAP financial measure that the Company uses is Adjusted EBITDA . Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non - GAAP financial measure as defined by Regulation G promulgated by the Act, as amended . Due to the significance of non - cash and non - recurring expenses recognized in the years ended December 31 , 2016 and 2015 , and the likelihood of material non - cash and non - recurring expenses to occur in future periods, the Company believes that this non - GAAP financial measure will enhance the understanding of its historical and current financial results . Further, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA enables its board of directors and management to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions that will directly effect operating decisions and investments . The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non - recurring items or by non - cash items . This non - GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the Company’s actual operating results included in its consolidated financial statements . All registered or unregistered service marks, trademarks and trade names referred to in this Presentation are the property of their respective owners, and CSS Entertainment’s use herein does not imply an affiliation with, or endorsement by, the owners of these service marks, trademarks or trade names . The securities of CSS Entertainment are highly speculative . Investing in shares of CSS Entertainment involves significant risks, including those described in the Offering Circular . Nasdaq: CSSE 2
