Guided by our R&D team and Scientific Advisory Board, we are preparing for exciting product launches within CircleDNA and ACT Genomics by year-end. These innovations are projected to significantly bolster our fiscal health, enriching both our top and bottom lines. In order to bolster the strategic advancement in consumer health, we are thrilled to add Joel to our executive leadership team. Joel and I have known each other for more than 12 years and were been colleagues since both of our previous companies were acquired by Groupon in 2010. Joel’s proven track record as a successful serial entrepreneur and his deep consumer insights underscore our commitment to growing CircleDNA into a leading global consumer health business. I’m confident with Joel at the helm, significant growth lies ahead for CircleDNA. We also believe our vast efforts in consumer health will play a highly synergistic role in our early cancer detection initiatives, in which we are immensely excited about and will share more in due course.”

Joel said, “My entrepreneurial journey to date has been immensely rewarding, driven by my passion for making a difference. After spending the past 15 years building various global consumer platforms, I feel compelled to give back to the community by positively influencing people’s health and showcasing the importance of prevention and health. I’m excited to join Danny and the exceptional team at Prenetics to spearhead the consumer health business. Leveraging our existing base of over 300,000 CircleDNA customers, I believe we can continue to grow and make a difference in millions of lives globally. By working with the best global scientists, doctors and clinicians, we intend to offer a suite of preventive and personalized healthcare solutions to empower people to live longer, happier and healthier lives.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company's goals, targets, projections, outlooks, beliefs, expectations, strategy, plans, objectives of management for future operations of the Company, and growth opportunities are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "target," "aim," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "potential," "continue," "is/are likely to", “poised to”, “set to” or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and forecasts and reflect the views, assumptions, expectations, and opinions of the Company, which involve inherent risks and uncertainties, therefore they should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to: the Company’s ability to further develop and grow its business, including new products and services; its ability to execute on its new business strategy in genomics, precision oncology, and specifically, early detection for cancer; and its ability to identify and execute on M&A opportunities, especially in precision oncology. In addition to the foregoing factors, you should also carefully consider the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent registration statement on Form F-1 and the prospectus therein, and the other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All information provided in this press release is as of the date of this press release, and the Company does not undertake any duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.

Basis of Presentation

Unaudited Financial Information and Non-IFRS Financial Measures has been provided in the financial statements tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Unaudited Financial Information and Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”

Unaudited Financial Information and Non-IFRS Financial Measures

To supplement Prenetics’ consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Company is providing non-IFRS measures, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted (loss)/profit attributable to equity shareholders of Prenetics. These non-IFRS financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by IFRS and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-IFRS financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's ongoing operating results and trends.

Management is excluding from some or all of its non-IFRS results (1) Employee equity-settled share-based payment expenses, (2) depreciation and amortization, (3) finance income and exchange gain or loss, net, and (4) certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook, including but not limited to non-cash and/or non-recurring items. These non-IFRS financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on the reported financial results. Management accounts for this limitation by analyzing results on an IFRS basis as well as a non-IFRS basis and also by providing IFRS measures in the Company's public disclosures.

In addition, other companies, including companies in the same industry, may not use the same non-IFRS measures or may calculate these metrics in a different manner than management or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of these non-IFRS measures as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, the Company's non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review the non-IFRS reconciliations provided in the tables captioned “Reconciliation of (loss)/profit from operations under IFRS and adjusted EBITDA (Non-IFRS)”, “Reconciliation of gross profit under IFRS and adjusted gross profit (Non-IFRS)” and “Reconciliation of (loss)/profit attributable to equity shareholders of Prenetics under IFRS and adjusted (loss)/profit attributable to equity shareholders of Prenetics (Non-IFRS)” set forth at the end of this document.
