Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA is a numerical measure that the Company believes helps investors to compare its operating performance to that of other companies. “EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) excluding interest income/expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the Company’s core operating results from period to period by removing (i) the impact of the Company’s capital structure (interest income/expense), (ii) tax consequences and (iii) asset base (depreciation and amortization). EBITDA is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as defined under Regulation G under the Exchange Act. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded to calculate EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. The following table presents the reconciliation of EBITDA to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), as reported (unaudited): RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO EBITDA THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026 AND 2025 (in thousands) (unaudited) For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net Income (GAAP) $ 309 $ 643 $ 1,053 $ 250 Interest income (67) (77) (134) (119) Provision for income taxes 19 114 65 76 Depreciation and amortization 290 249 585 521 EBITDA $ 551 $ 929 $ 1,569 $ 728 7
