In addition, this presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all of the information that may be required to make a full analysis of Billtrust or the Transactions. Viewers of this presentation should each make their own evaluation of Billtrust and of the relevance and adequacy of the information and should make such other investigations as they deem necessary. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and market share, potential benefits and the commercial attractiveness to its customers of Billtrust’s products and services, the potential success of Billtrust’s marketing and expansion strategies, the growth of demand on Billtrust’s platform and the expansion of Billtrust’s customers’ utilization of its services, potential benefits of the Transactions (including with respect to shareholder value), and expectations related to the terms and timing of the Transactions. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this presentation, and on the current expectations of Billtrust’s and South Mountain’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Billtrust and South Mountain. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including Billtrust’s ability to attract and retain customers and expand customers’ use of Billtrust’s services; market, financial, political and legal conditions; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Billtrust’s business and the global economy; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of South Mountain or Billtrust is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial and operating information with respect to Billtrust; risks related to future market adoption of Billtrust's offerings; risks related to Billtrust's marketing and growth strategies; the effects of competition on Billtrust’s future business; the amount of redemption requests made by South Mountain’s public stockholders; the ability of South Mountain or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future, and those factors discussed in South Mountain’s final prospectus filed on June 21, 2019, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of South Mountain filed, or to be filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). If any of these risks materialize or any of South Mountain’s or Billtrust’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither South Mountain nor Billtrust presently know or that South Mountain and Billtrust currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect South Mountain’s and Billtrust’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this presentation. South Mountain and Billtrust anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause South Mountain’s and Billtrust’s assessments to change. However, while South Mountain and Billtrust may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, South Mountain and Billtrust specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing South Mountain’s and Billtrust’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Use of Projections This presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Billtrust, namely total revenues, net revenue (non-GAAP), adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and net revenue (non-GAAP) split for 2020, 2021, 2022, and the financial information included in Billtrust’s long-term target operating model. 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. The assumptions and estimates underlying such projected financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the projected financial information contained in this presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved. Neither of the independent registered public accounting firms of Billtrust or South Mountain have 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.Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X. Billtrust is in the process of completing its Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) audits for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and the review procedures for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020, respectively, and, therefore, all of Billtrust’s historical financial information included in the presentation is preliminary and subject to change. Billtrust’s independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, has not audited or reviewed, and does not express an opinion with respect to, any of the financial information or data included in this presentation. The financial information included in this presentation is not a comprehensive statement of Billtrust’s financial results for the periods shown, and Billtrust’s actual results may differ materially from the financial information included in this presentation due to the completion of Billtrust’s financial closing procedures, final adjustments, completion of the audits and review of Billtrust’s financial statements referenced above and other developments that may arise between now and the time those audits and review are completed. Accordingly, the financial information and data contained in this presentation may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement, registration statement, or prospectus to be filed by South Mountain with the SEC.
Disclaimers (cont’d) Further, some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as net revenue (non-GAAP), adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, net recurring revenue percentage, and the financial information included in Billtrust’s long-term target operating model, have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Net revenue (non-GAAP) is defined as total revenues, less reimbursable costs revenue. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Billtrust’s Adjusted Gross Profit divided by its total revenues less reimbursable costs revenue, or net revenue (non-GAAP). EBITDA is defined as net profit/(loss) plus depreciation and amortization expenses, income tax expense/(benefit) and other expense/(income). EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by net revenue (non-GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net loss and comprehensive loss, plus (i) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (ii) interest and other expense (income), (iii) interest expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) stock based compensation expense, (vi) restructuring and severance costs, and (vii) acquisition and integration costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue (non-GAAP). Free cash flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, and less capitalization of internal-use software costs. Free cash flow margin is defined as free cash flow divided by net revenue (non-GAAP). Net recurring revenue percentage is defined as subscription and transaction fees divided by net revenue (non-GAAP).South Mountain and Billtrust believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Billtrust’s financial condition and results of operations. South Mountain and Billtrust believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating actual and projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Billtrust’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Neither South Mountain nor Billtrust considers 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 financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and other amounts that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Billtrust’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and other amounts are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, Billtrust presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. Billtrust is not providing a reconciliation of its projected net revenue (non-GAAP) split for full years 2020, 2021, 2022 or the financial information included in Billtrust’s long-term target operating model to the most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP because Billtrust is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the anticipated expense related to such projections, which is variable. You should review Billtrust’s audited financial statements, which will be included in the registration statement relating to the proposed business combination.IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND ITThis communication is being made in respect of the proposed business combination involving South Mountain and Billtrust.
