There may be additional risks that are presently unknown or believed to be immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements provide Tailwind’s and QOMPLX’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. Tailwind and QOMPLX anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause these assessments to change. However, while Tailwind and QOMPLX may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Tailwind and QOMPLX specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Tailwind’s or QOMPLX’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) including, but not limited to, Organic Revenue Growth, Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted Gross Profit.

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. You should be aware that the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. 3
