unreasonable effort because of the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts

charges, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and income tax expense. These

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our performance, we monitor a number of key indicators. As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors, creditors and others in assessing our performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measures, and such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Rather, these measures should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements included in reports filed with the SEC in their entirety and not rely solely on any one single financial measure or communication.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are sales growth (decline) on an organic basis, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted net leverage, free cash flow and free cash flow conversion.
Organic net sales growth (decline) eliminates from our reported net sales change the impacts of revenues from acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the last year (as applicable) and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that this measurement is useful to investors as a way to measure and evaluate our underlying commercial operating performance consistently across our segments and the periods presented. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.Adjusted Operating Income is our operating income or loss adjusted for the following items: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (iii) gain on sale of business, and (iv) certain other adjustments. Adjusted Operating Income margin is Adjusted Operating Income divided by net sales as determined under GAAP. We believe that these measures are useful to investors as ways to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. These measures are used by our management for the same reason. Additionally, Adjusted Operating Income is our segment reporting profitability measure under GAAP.Adjusted EBITDA is our net income or loss adjusted for the following items: (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (iv) depreciation expense, (v) losses on extinguishment of debt, (vi) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (vii) gain on sale of business, and (viii) certain other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales as determined under GAAP. We believe that these measures are useful to investors as ways to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. These measures are used by our management for the same reason.Adjusted net income is our net income or loss first adjusted for the following items: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) losses on extinguishment of debt, (iii) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (iv) gain on sale of business, and (v) certain other adjustments. From this amount, we then add or subtract an assumed incremental income tax impact on the above-noted pre-tax adjustments, using estimated tax rates, to arrive at Adjusted Net Income. We believe that this measure is useful to investors as a way to analyze the business consistently across the periods presented. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.Adjusted EPS is our adjusted net income divided by our diluted GAAP weighted average share count adjusted for anti-dilutive instruments. We believe that this measure is useful to investors as an additional way to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.Adjusted net leverage is equal to our gross debt, reduced by our cash and cash equivalents, divided by our trailing 12-month Adjusted EBITDA (excluding stock-based compensation expense and including the expected run-rate effect of cost synergies and the incremental results of completed acquisitions and divestitures as if those acquisitions and divestitures had occurred on the first day of the trailing 12-month period). We believe that this measure is useful to investors as a way to evaluate and measure the Company’s capital allocation strategies and the underlying trends in the business. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.Free cash flow is equal to our cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus direct transaction costs and income taxes paid related to acquisitions and divestitures (as applicable) in the period. Free cash flow conversion is free cash flow divided by adjusted net income. We believe that these measures are useful to investors as they provide a view on the Company’s ability to generate cash for use in financing or investing activities. These measures are used by our management for the same reason.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this release.

The two parties are exploring business opportunities in stablecoin payments and corporate treasury management.
Jointly identifying new use cases and business opportunities in stablecoin-based global payments and fund transfersReviewing the potential of digital asset-based financial infrastructure for global corporate finance and treasury managementLinking MoonPay’s global network with Dunamu’s GIWA blockchain to support global ecosystem expansion
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MoonPay, a global crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure company, is pursuing a strategic collaboration with Dunamu in the field of global financial infrastructure built on digital assets.
The two companies will jointly identify new business opportunities across areas including stablecoin-based global payments and fund movement, and corporate finance and treasury management. By combining MoonPay’s global financial services and network with Dunamu’s technology and business capabilities, including its GIWA blockchain, they plan to explore the potential applications of digital asset-based financial infrastructure.
First, the companies will look for collaboration opportunities in global payments and fund movement using stablecoins. Drawing on both companies’ technology and infrastructure, they will review a range of cases in which digital assets can be used for cross-border payments and fund transfers, and examine the business potential of new financial service models.
The companies will also pursue collaboration in global corporate finance and treasury management. They will jointly review ways to apply digital asset-based financial infrastructure to corporate finance and treasury operations, and identify related business opportunities and usage models.
Expanding Dunamu’s GIWA blockchain ecosystem is another key area of collaboration. Leveraging their respective global ecosystems and partner networks, the two companies will explore ways to broaden access to GIWA-based services and digital assets and strengthen the GIWA ecosystem’s global connectivity. In particular, by linking MoonPay’s global services and network with Dunamu’s blockchain infrastructure, they aim to increase overseas market access for services and assets within the GIWA ecosystem and jointly identify new business opportunities in global markets.
“For stablecoins to function as global financial infrastructure, it is important to have the technology and network to support not only cross-border payments and fund transfers, but also the real financial operations of businesses,” said Bugeon Lee, Head of APAC at MoonPay. “By combining Dunamu’s blockchain capabilities with MoonPay’s global financial infrastructure, we will explore new possibilities for digital assets and work together so that the GIWA ecosystem can expand into global markets.”
Going forward, MoonPay and Dunamu plan to firm up the technical and commercial potential in their main areas of collaboration, namely stablecoin-based global payments, corporate finance and treasury management, and GIWA ecosystem expansion, and to continue identifying new business opportunities that draw on both companies’ strengths.
