While finalizing its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 should no longer be relied upon due to an error related to the accounting treatment of the Company’s non-cash share-based compensation awards and an error related to non-cash amortization of the step-up in basis of inventory which resulted in an overstatement of the Company’s non-cash share-based compensation expense and non-cash amortization of step-up in basis of inventory. Accordingly, the Company will restate its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 in its 2022 Form 10-K







to reflect the corrected share-based compensation expense and amortization amount. The Company plans to file a current report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023 which will include additional information regarding the restated results.

The Fire Safety business consists of formulating, manufacture and sale of fire retardants and firefighting foams that assist in combating various types of fires, including wildland, structural, flammable liquids and others. Our Fire Safety business also offers specialized equipment and services, typically in conjunction with our fire management products, to support our customers' firefighting operations. Our specialized equipment includes airbase retardant storage, mixing, and delivery equipment; mobile retardant bases; retardant ground application units; mobile foam equipment; and equipment that we custom design and manufacture to meet specific customer needs. Our service network can meet the emergency resupply needs of over 150 air tanker bases in North America, as well as many other customer locations in North America and internationally.

The segment sells products to government agencies and commercial customers around the world.
The Specialty Products business produces and sells high quality Phosphorus Pentasulfide ("P2S5") primarily used in the preparation of lubricant additives, including a family of compounds called Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphates (“ZDDP”) that provide critical anti-wear protection to engine components. P2S5 is also used in pesticide and mining chemicals applications.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
Adjusted EBITDA
The computation of Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus income tax expense, net interest and other financing expenses, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted on a consistent basis for certain non-recurring, unusual or non-operational items in a balanced manner. These items include (i) expenses related to the Business Combination, (ii) founder advisory fee expenses, (iii) stock compensation expense, (iv) non-cash impact of purchase accounting on the cost of inventory sold, (v) contingent future payment related to an acquired business, (vi) management fees related to the services provided by SK Capital Partners IV-A, L.P. and SK Capital Partners IV-B, L.P (collectively, the “Sponsor”) when acting in a management capacity and (vii) unrealized foreign currency loss (gain). To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Perimeter is providing a summary to show the computations of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-U.S.GAAP measure used by the Company's management and by external users of Perimeter’s financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and others, to assess the Company's operating performance as compared to that of other companies, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (in thousands).
