    Other Matters:

    In March, the Company completed an exchange offer and issued approximately $915 million in aggregate principal amount of add-on notes to its 10.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 in exchange for approximately $861 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's outstanding 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 ("2029 Secured Notes"). All 2029 Secured Notes exchanged were cancelled. Following such cancellation, approximately $14 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Secured Notes remained outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

    In April, the Company redeemed all of its remaining outstanding 2029 Secured Notes, totaling approximately $14 million in aggregate principal amount, at a redemption price equal to 105.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

    Today, the Company announced plans to repay the remaining balance under the Term Loan A Facility and terminate its Credit Facility.

    Accelerated Share Repurchase Program, Stock Repurchase Program & Outstanding Shares

    Today, the Company announced plans to repurchase approximately $30 million of Class A Common Stock under an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") program as part of its existing Stock Repurchase Program, which as of March 31, 2026, had $117 million of authorization remaining for repurchase. The Company expects to fund the ASR program through available cash on hand.

    The Company did not repurchase any Class A Common Stock in the first quarter.

    As of May 1, 2026, the Company had 32,443,304 shares of Class A Common Stock and 11,484,408 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.

    Please see the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026, which will be filed later today, for further details regarding the above matters.

    Description of Non-GAAP Measures

    Internally, the Company uses Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Free Cash Flow measures as the most important indicators of its business performance and evaluates management's effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators.

    The Company defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before share-based compensation expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses), restructuring and other related charges, cloud computing amortization, and including the Company's proportionate share of adjusted operating income (loss) from majority-owned equity method investees. From time to time, the Company may exclude the impact of certain events, gains, losses, or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) from Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) that affect the Company's operating performance. Because it is based upon operating income (loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of the business without regard to the effect of the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash.

    The Company believes that Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the business segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors, analysts, and peers to compare performance in the industry.

    Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of performance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Since Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), please see page 10 of this release.

    The Company defines Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, all of which are reported in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure of its liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful as an indicator of its overall liquidity, as the amount of Free Cash Flow generated in any period is representative of cash that is available for debt repayment, investment, and other discretionary and non-discretionary cash uses. The Company also believes that Free Cash Flow is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its liquidity with other companies in the industry, although the Company's measure of Free Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, please see page 10 of this release.

    The Company defines Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share ("Adjusted EPS"), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings per diluted share excluding the following items: amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses); non-cash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets; restructuring and other related charges; and the impact associated with the modification of debt arrangements, including gains and losses related to the extinguishment of debt; as well as the impact of taxes on the aforementioned items and other one-time tax charges/benefits. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure is earnings per diluted share. The Company believes that Adjusted EPS is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its performance with other companies in the industry, although the Company's measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of earnings per diluted share to Adjusted EPS, please see page 11 of this release.

The Company gave notice on May 6, 2026 of its intention to repay the Term Loan A Facility and terminate the Senior Secured Credit Facility on May 12, 2026.

    (b) Subject to the terms of the indenture for the Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 78.5083 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $12.74 per share of Class A Common Stock).

    (c) Represents the aggregate principal amount of the debt.

    (d) Represents net debt and finance leases divided by Adjusted Operating Income for the twelve months ended March 31, 2026.
