Financial Information and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Any financial projections presented in this Presentation represent the current estimates by the management of future performance based on various assumptions, which may or may not prove to be correct. Neither PublicSquare's nor Credova's independent registered public accounting firm has audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections and accordingly they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto. These unaudited financial projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying these projections are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in these unaudited financial projections. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that these projections will be realized. Inclusion of the unaudited financial projections in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the unaudited financial projections will be achieved.

This Presentation also includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including, but not limited to, EBITDA and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Credova's financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. The presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.

Credova Aims to Expand Access for Americans to 2nd Amendment Rights

Flexible Financing Options

Credova's financing options break down financial barriers by making it easier for individuals from various income levels to purchase firearms and related products, ensuring that 2nd Amendment rights are accessible to a broader demographic.

Accessible Firearm Ownership

By providing flexible payment solutions, Credova empowers more Americans to become firearm owners. We believe this increased access to firearms contributes to a safer and more secure society.

Protection from Cancellation

Credova's robust technology platform ensures that purchases in the PublicSquare marketplace remain secure from cancel culture. This reliability is crucial in safeguarding the ability of Americans to transact without interference.

Supporting the Parallel Economy

Credova's commitment to the parallel economy means that even those traditionally underserved by financial institutions can participate in firearm ownership, further strengthening the foundation of 2nd Amendment rights for all Americans.
