Forward-looking statements are typically identified by such words as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "project," "should," "will," and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements are the possibility that the conditions to the separation may not be obtained or satisfied within the expected timeframe or at all; that the separation may not be completed on the anticipated terms or timing or may not occur at all; that the separation may not achieve the intended strategic, operational, or financial benefits for Resideo, its businesses, or its shareholders; that Resideo may experience operational or other disruptions as a result of the separation, including those relating to information technology systems, business processes, internal controls, customer and vendor relationships, and workforce alignment. Each separated company's ability to succeed as an independent enterprise will depend on numerous factors, including the execution of their respective strategies and plans, access to capital markets, the competitive landscape, and general business and economic conditions. Other risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (1) our ability to achieve our outlook regarding the full year 2026, (2) our ability to recognize the expected savings from, and the timing and impact of, our existing and anticipated cost reduction actions, and our ability to optimize our portfolio and operational footprint, (3) the ability of Resideo to drive increased customer value and financial returns and enhance strategic and operational capabilities, (4) risks and uncertainties relating to tariffs that have been or may be imposed by the United States and other governments, and (5) the other risks described under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other periodic reports as well as risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" of the Form 10 filed with the SEC.

Although we believe forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments, and business decisions may differ from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this press release and we caution investors not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Pro Forma Information

This press release includes certain "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in accordance with Regulation G thereunder, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as well as certain pro forma standalone financial information for ADI. Management believes the use of such non-GAAP financial measures assists investors in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company by presenting financial results between periods on a more comparable basis. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers should also consider the limitations associated with these non-GAAP financial measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another.

"Adjusted EBITDA" represents ADI's net income before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the effects of unique and/or non-cash items that are not closely associated with ongoing operations, and provides management and investors with meaningful measures of our performance that increase the period-to-period comparability by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors. "Adjusted EBITDA margin" is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

The standalone financial information presented for ADI in this press release has been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Resideo and reflects certain assumptions and allocations. The pro forma standalone financial information includes all revenues and costs directly attributable to ADI, as well as allocations of certain corporate expenses. These allocations may not be reflective of the actual expenses that ADI would have incurred as an independent, publicly traded company or of the costs it will incur in the future. For additional information regarding the basis of presentation, please see the Form 10 filed with the SEC.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net (loss) income and net (loss) income margin, the most closely comparable GAAP financial measures, to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin:
