Safe harbor“Safe Harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This presentation contains forward looking statements about our products, including our market opportunity, our investments in products, technology and other key strategic areas, certain non-financial metrics, such as member growth and engagement, and our long-term Non-GAAP operating model including Adjusted EBITDA. The achievement of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, the company’s results could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements the company makes. The risks and uncertainties referred to above include - but are not limited to - risks associated with: our limited operating history in a new and unproven market; engagement of our members; the price volatility of our Class A common stock; general economic conditions; expectations regarding the return on our strategic investments; execution of our plans and strategies, including with respect to mobile products and features; security measures and the risk that they may not be sufficient t secure our member data adequately or that we are subject to attacks that degrade or deny the ability of members to access our solutions; expectations regarding our ability to timely and effectively scale and adapt existing technology and network infrastructure to ensure that our solutions are accessible at all times with short or no perceptible load times; our ability to maintain our rate of revenue growth and manage our expenses and investment plans; our ability to accurately track our key metrics internally; members and customers curtailing or ceasing to use our solutions; our core value of putting members first, which may conflict with the short-term interests of the business; privacy and changes in regulations in the United States, Europe or elsewhere, which could impact our ability to serve our members or curtail our monetization efforts; litigation and regulatory issues; increasing competition; our ability to manage our growth; our ability to recruit and retain our employees; the application of US and international tax laws on our tax structure and any changes to such tax laws; acquisitions we have made or may make in the future; and the dual class structure of our common stock.

3 The company has not reconciled adjusted EBITDA to net income in its long-term target non-GAAP operating model, nor any of the Non-GAAP measures referenced above, because items such as other income (expense) net, and provision for income taxes, that impact net income, are out of the company's control
and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is not available without unreasonable effort.
