Disclaimer

The information in this presentation is provided to you by iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited (the "Company") solely for informational purpose and does not constitute an offer to buy or sell or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, any securities of the Company in any jurisdiction or an inducement to enter into investment activity, nor may it or any part of it form the basis of or be relied on in connection with any contract or commitment whatsoever in the United States or anywhere else. Specifically, this presentation does not constitute a "prospectus" within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). No securities of the Company may be offered or sold in the United States without registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") unless pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act. This presentation does not contain all relevant information relating to the Company or its securities, particularly with respect to the risks and special considerations involved with an investment in the securities of the Company.

This presentation does not constitute legal, regulatory, accounting or tax advice to you. This presentation does not constitute and should not be considered as any form of financial opinion or recommendation by the Company or any other party.

This presentation contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "explore," "confident" and similar statements. Such statements are based upon management's current expectations and current market and operating conditions, and relate to events that involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company's control. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: the Company's fluctuations in growth; its success in implementing its mobile and new retail strategies, including extending its solutions beyond its core digital marketing business; its success in structuring a CRM & Marketing Cloud platform; relative percentage of its gross billing recognized as net revenues under the gross and net models; its ability to retain existing clients or attract new ones; its ability to retain content distribution channels and negotiate favorable contractual terms; market competition, including from independent online marketing technology platforms as well as large and well-established internet companies; market acceptance of online marketing technology and enterprise solutions; effectiveness of its algorithms and data engines; its ability to collect and use data from various sources; ability to integrate and realize synergies from acquisitions, investments or strategic partnership; the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its potential impact on the Company's business and financial performance; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; general economic conditions in China and other jurisdictions where the Company operates; and the regulatory landscape in China and other jurisdictions where the Company operates. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in the Company's annual report on Form 20-F and other filings with the SEC. The Company, its officers, advisors, or representatives undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forwardlooking statements for events or circumstances that occur subsequent to the date of this presentation, except as required under law.

This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss), and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) per ADS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating the Company's operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss), and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) per ADS help identify underlying trends in the Company's business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses and gains that the Company includes in net loss. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income/(loss) provide useful information about the Company's operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss), and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) per ADS should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss), and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) per ADS presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. See Appendix for a reconciliation of the Company's adjusted EBITDA to net loss, its most comparable GAAP measure, and a reconciliation of the Company's adjusted net income/(loss) to net loss, its most comparable GAAP measure. These non-GAAP financial measures was presented with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures together for facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of operating performance between periods.
