Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Non-Vehicle Net Debt, and Adjusted SG&A (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures"). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our operating performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company in this press release may be different from the measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to add back non-floor plan interest expense, the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adds back non-cash stock-based compensation, [management transition costs, certain litigation expenses not associated with ongoing operations, lease expense associated with favorable related party leases in excess of contractual lease payments, impairment of franchise rights, and certain other costs and credits, as these recoveries, charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not necessarily an indicator of ongoing, future company performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are adjusted to reflect an addback for floor plan interest expense. Our industry typically treats interest expense on vehicle floor plan debt as an operating expense, as vehicle floor plan debt is integral to our operations and is collateralized by our powersports vehicles.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics we use to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Beginning with the period ended June 30, 2026, we now present our non-GAAP cash flow measures as Adjusted Free Cash Flow. We believe this revised metric provides investors with a more representative view of the cash generated by our core operations by incorporating borrowings from non-trade floor plan facilities into operating cash flows to align non-trade inventory financing cash flows with the underlying operational capital structure, as well as normalizing for period-over-period variations. We believe this metric is useful to investors because it provides an additional means to evaluate cash flow trends in the business before considering non-operational or unique working capital financing adjustments.

We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as GAAP cash flows (used in) or provided by operating activities, adjusted for the net proceeds from (payments on) non-trade floor plan facilities, and cash flows associated with business acquisitions and dispositions, less purchases of property and equipment.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow has limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, Adjusted Free Cash Flow should be evaluated alongside our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows prepared in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow is provided below:

Non-Vehicle Net Debt

We define Non-Vehicle Net Debt as total principal of long-term debt, including current maturities, less unrestricted cash. Our restricted cash is principally related to vehicle floor plan debt and is therefore not part of this calculation. Vehicle floor plan debt and finance lease obligations are not included in this measure. We believe that Non-Vehicle Net Debt is useful to investors and analysts as a measure of our financial position. We use Non-Vehicle Net Debt to monitor and compare our financial position from period to period.

A reconciliation of total long-term debt, including current maturities to Non-Vehicle Net Debt is provided below:

Adjusted SG&A

We define Adjusted SG&A as SG&A adjusted to deduct transaction costs, certain litigation expenses not associated with our ongoing operations, management transition costs and certain other costs, as these charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not necessarily an indicator of the ongoing run rate of our SG&A. We use Adjusted SG&A to measure our progress toward achieving our goals. Adjusted SG&A is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used as a replacement for SG&A reported in compliance with GAAP. Adjusted SG&A has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total SG&A for the period. Therefore, we believe it is important to evaluate Adjusted SG&A along with SG&A and our consolidated statements of operations.
