Reconciliations of all non-GAAP measures used in this presentation that are required to be reconciled to their comparable GAAP measures are included in this presentation and in our press release announcing Q3 2021 results published on November 9, 2021 and filed as an exhibit to our 8-K filed with the SEC on November 9, 2021, and definitions of the operational metrics used in this presentation are included in the supplemental financial information datasheet available on ir.avid.com. Avid believes the non-GAAP measures and the operational metrics provided in this presentation provide helpful information to investors with respect to evaluating the Company's performance. However, these non-GAAP measures and operational metrics may vary from how other companies present such measures. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

The presentation also includes expectations for future Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income per Share and Free Cash Flow, which are forward-lookingnon-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these forward-lookingnon-GAAP measures are not included in this presentation or elsewhere, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from the estimation of the non-GAAP results, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.
