© 2021 Immersion Forward-Looking Statements 2 All statements, other than the statements of historical fact, are statements that may be deemed forward-looking statements, including any statements of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations, and statements regarding projected future financial results. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, therefore we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward- looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward- looking statements include, among others, the following: the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic on us and our business, and on the business of our suppliers and customers; unanticipated changes in the markets in which we operate; the effects of the current macroeconomic climate (especially in light of the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic); delay in or failure to achieve adoption of or commercial demand for our products or third party products incorporating our technologies; the inability of Immersion to renew existing licensing arrangements, or enter into new licensing arrangements for our patents and other technologies on favorable terms; the loss of a major customer; the ability of Immersion to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; unanticipated difficulties and challenges in developing or acquiring successful innovations and our ability to patent those innovations; changes in patent law; confusion as to our licensing model or agreement terms; the ability of Immersion to return to consistent profitability in the future; the inability of Immersion to retain or recruit necessary personnel; the commencement, by others or by us, of legal or administrative action; risks related to our international operations and other factors. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, and other factors that could cause actual results to vary materially, interested parties should review the risk factors listed in Immersion’s most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, which are on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements in this presentation reflect Immersion’s beliefs and predictions as of the date of this presentation. Immersion does not intend to update these forward-looking statements as a result of financial, business, or any other developments occurring after the date of this presentation. In addition, the use of the word “partner” or “partnership” does not imply a legal partnership between Immersion and any other company. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information. In this presentation the Company will be discussing non-GAAP measures of adjusted operating expenses and adjusted net income, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and the Company’s prospects for the future and are not comprehensive of the Company’s financial results. Such measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. You can find a reconciliation of these metrics to the reported GAAP results in the reconciliation tables provided in the appendix to this presentation. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to corresponding GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis is not available due to high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges which are excluded from these non-GAAP measures.
