Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Metrics:

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Unlevered Free Cash Flow. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because they eliminate certain items that affect period-over-period comparability and provide consistency with past financial performance and additional information about our underlying results and trends by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. This information should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items or events being adjusted. In addition, other companies may use different measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided at the end of this press release for each historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We do not provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty to predict certain items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures; in particular, the effects of stock-based compensation expense, taxes and amounts under the exchange tax receivable agreement, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, and restructuring and transaction expenses. We expect the variability of these excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

We define Adjusted Operating Income as income (loss) from operations adjusted for, as applicable, (i) amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangibles, (ii) equity-based compensation expense, (iii) restructuring and transaction-related expenses, (iv) integration costs and acquisition-related expenses, (v) and legal settlement. We define Adjusted Operating Income Margin as Adjusted Operating Income divided by revenue.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted for, as applicable, (i) loss on debt modification and extinguishment, (ii) amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangibles, (iii) equity-based compensation expense, (iv) restructuring and transaction-related expenses, (v) integration costs and acquisition-related expenses, (vi) legal settlement, (vii) TRA liability remeasurement (benefit) expense, (viii) other (income) loss, net and (ix) tax impacts of adjustments to net income (loss). We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding used for adjusted net income (loss) per share.

We define Unlevered Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less (i) purchases of property and equipment and other assets, plus (ii) cash interest expense, (iii) cash payments related to restructuring and transaction-related expenses, (iv) cash payments related to integration costs and acquisition-related compensation, and (v) legal settlement payments. Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since, among other things, we have mandatory debt service requirements.

Net revenue retention is a metric that we calculate based on customers of ZoomInfo at the beginning of the twelve-month period, and is calculated as: (a) the total ACV for those customers at the end of the twelve-month period, divided by (b) the total ACV for those customers at the beginning of the twelve-month period.

(1)		Represents costs directly associated with acquisition or disposal activities, including employee severance and termination benefits, contract termination fees and penalties, and other exit or disposal costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, this expense is primarily related to employee severance and termination benefits and lease restructuring activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, this expense is primarily related to the accelerated expense of obsolete software purchase commitments.
(2)		Represents charges associated with certain legal settlements. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, these charges are related to costs incurred due to the Class Actions.
(3)		Represents tax expense associated with Net income (GAAP) excluded from Adjusted Net Income (Non-GAAP). The Company calculates the tax impacts of adjustments to net income (loss) by taking the total gross value of the adjustments and multiplying it by the Company's U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate. We then recalculate the tax impact of book-tax differences related to equity compensation, the tax receivable agreements, restructuring and transaction-related expenses, and items that are deemed to be unrelated to current year operating income or are one-time in nature, such as provision to return true-ups. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, these primarily relate to adjusting out $1.2 million of tax benefit from the effects of changes in state tax law and apportionment, recognizing $13.6 million of tax benefit related to the amortization of costs associated with corporate structure simplification, and adjusting out $3.0 million of tax expense from non-deductible stock-based compensation. For three months ended March 31, 2024, these primarily relate to adjusting out $0.2 million of tax expense from the effects of changes in state tax law and apportionment, recognizing $14.6 million of tax benefit related to the amortization of costs associated with corporate structure simplification, and adjusting out $5.0 million of tax expense from non-deductible stock-based compensation. We believe the exclusion of these adjustments provides investors with useful information about the Company's underlying results and trends, allowing them to better understand and compare net income (loss) related to ongoing operations and the related current and deferred income tax expense.
(4)		Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted average Common Stock, and any securities that are convertible into Common Stock, including options and restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards and convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method, excluding deemed repurchases assuming proceeds from unrecognized compensation as required by GAAP.
