Caution concerning forward-looking statements
This presentation and associated webcast, which includes a business update, discussion of financial results, financial outlook and question and answer session
(collectively, the “Earnings Information”), contain certain “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” under applicable securities laws. Forward-looking
terms such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “project,” “target,” “believe,” “plan,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “guidance” or
“expect” and other words, terms and phrases of similar nature are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements
contain these identifying words.
Forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the Company. Although management of the Company believes that the
expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking
statements because the Company can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Any such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results and expectations to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed in the Earnings Information. The
Company cautions readers that should certain risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary significantly
from those expected.
The risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to those Risk Factors set forth in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available online under the Company’s EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov or on the Company’s website at
www.maxar.com, as well as the Company’s continuous disclosure materials filed from time to time with Canadian securities regulatory authorities, which are available
online under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com or on the Company’s website at www.maxar.com. The risk factors detailed in the foregoing are not
intended to be exhaustive and there may be other key risks that are not identified that are not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems
immaterial. These risks and uncertainties are amplified by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused and will continue to cause significant challenges,
instability and uncertainty.
The forward-looking statements contained in the Earnings Information are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such forward-
looking statements are based upon data available as of the date of the Earnings Information or other specified date and speak only as of such date. The Company
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements herein as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as
may be required under applicable securities law.

APPENDIX
In addition to results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental indicators of our financial and operating performance. These
non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Without Effects of EV Deferred, Adjusted EBITDA Without Effects of
EV Deferred margin, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt.
We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for certain items affecting comparability as specified in the
calculation and Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Certain items affecting comparability include restructuring, impairments, satellite insurance recovery,
gain (loss) on sale of assets, CEO severance and transaction and integration related expense. Transaction and integration related expense includes costs associated with de-leveraging
activities, acquisitions and dispositions and the integration of acquisitions. Management believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our
underlying results and trends, and management uses these measures along with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures to manage our business, evaluate our performance
compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure being used as a key element of our incentive compensation plan. The
Syndicated Credit Facility also uses Adjusted EBITDA in the determination of our debt leverage covenant ratio. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the Syndicated Credit Facility
includes a more comprehensive set of adjustments that may result in a different calculation therein.
We define Adjusted EBITDA Without Effects of EV Deferred as Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, less EnhancedView Deferred Revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA Without Effects
of EV Deferred margin as Adjusted EBITDA margin, as defined above, less EnhancedView Deferred Revenue.
We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by operating activities - continuing operations adjusted for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and development or purchase of
software.
We define Net Debt as the sum of total debt from our balance sheet excluding debt discount and issuance costs plus the lease liability balance related to the Space Infrastructure sale
leaseback transaction consummated in December 2019 netted against cash and cash equivalents.
We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, provide useful information to investors by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing
operating results over the periods presented, the ability to identify trends in our underlying business, and the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models and
operating results of other public companies.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Without Effects of EV Deferred, Adjusted EBITDA Without Effects of EV Deferred margin, Free Cash Flow and
Net Debt are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and may not be defined similarly by other companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA
Without Effects of EV Deferred, Adjusted EBITDA Without Effects of EV Deferred margin, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt should not be considered alternatives to net (loss) income as
indications of financial performance or as alternate to cash flows from operations as measures of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA
Without Effects of EV Deferred, Adjusted EBITDA Without Effects of EV Deferred margin, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under U.S. GAAP.
