Safe Harbor Statement

Exa Corporation Confidential
2
Today’s presentation includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the
Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act
of 1995.These forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our
financial expectations, demand for our solutions and growth in our markets, are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements.  These
factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended October 31, 2012, as filed with the
SEC on December 4, 2012. Forward-looking information in this presentation
represents our outlook as of today, and we do not undertake any obligation to update
these forward-looking statements.
During today's presentation we may refer to our Adjusted EBITDA.
This is a non-
GAAP financial measure that has been adjusted for certain non-cash and other items,
and that is not computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is our net
income (loss). A reconciliation of our historical Adjusted EBITDA to our net income
(loss) is included in our registration statement filed with the SEC
.

Note:
Please see Appendix for detailed definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP financial measure of net income (loss).  We
compute our license revenue renewal rate for any fiscal year by identifying the customers from whom we derived license revenue in the prior fiscal year and
dividing the dollar amount of license revenue that we receive in the current fiscal year from those customers by the dollar amount of license revenue we
received from them in the prior fiscal year.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP
measures that exclude certain amounts. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
The GAAP measures most comparable to Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA are GAAP income from operations and GAAP net income (loss), respectively.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are included above. 
We define non-GAAP operating income as GAAP operating income excluding non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets.  We
define  EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and other income (expense), foreign exchange gain (loss) and provision for income
taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense.
