Luminar Investor Presentation Deck

DISCLAIMER Use of Projections This presentation contains financial forecasts with respect to certain financial measurements of Luminar, including, but not limited to Luminar's projected Revenue, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA for Luminar's fiscal years 2020 through 2025. Such projected financial information constitutes forward-looking information, and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. Neither Gores' independent auditors, nor the independent registered public accounting firm of Luminar, audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Neither Gores nor Luminar undertakes any commitment to update or revise the projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In this presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been repeated (in each case, with an indication that the information is an estimate and is subject to the qualifications presented herein), for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See "Forward-Looking Statements" paragraph above. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of Gores or Luminar or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Industry and Market Data In this presentation, Gores and Luminar rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding the sectors in which Luminar competes and other industry data. Gores and Luminar obtained this information and statistics from third-party sources, including reports by market research firms. Although Gores and Luminar believe these sources are reliable, they have not independently verified the information and do not guarantee its accuracy and completeness. Gores and Luminar have supplemented this information where necessary with information from discussions with Luminar customers and Luminar's own internal estimates, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and Luminar's management's best view as to information that is not publicly available. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement/prospectus to be filed by Gores with the SEC. This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, preciation and amortizatio ("EBITDA") and Free Cash Flow ("FCF"). Free Cash Flow is defined as EBITDA less capital enditures less net interest expense less taxes (including the benefit of existing and future net operating losses). ing p ent acquisitions) less changes in net working capital Gores and Luminar believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Luminar's financial condition and results of operations. Luminar's management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Luminar's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and Luminar's board of directors. Gores and Luminar believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. Management of Luminar does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Luminar's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by Luminar's management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, and therefore the non-GAAP measures of Luminar included in this presentation may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
