Forward - looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward - looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following: ▪ risks associated with severe effects of international, national and regional economic conditions; ▪ the Company’s ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients; ▪ the spending patterns and financial success of the Company’s clients; ▪ the Company’s ability to retain and attract key employees; ▪ the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its debt agreements and the Company’s ability to finance its contingent pa yme nt obligations when due and payable, including but not limited to those relating to redeemable noncontrolling interests and deferred acquisition consideration; ▪ the successful completion and integration of acquisitions which complement and expand the Company’s business capabilities, an d t he potential impact of one or more asset sales; and ▪ foreign currency fluctuations. Investors should carefully consider these risk factors and the additional risk factors outlined in more detail in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10 - K under the caption “Risk Factors”, and in the Company’s other SEC filings. Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes Organic Revenue, Net New Business, EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow , Adjusted EBITDA, and Covenant EBITDA, which are “non - GAAP financial measures,” within the meaning of SEC rules and regulations that are different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting pri nciples). These non - GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other measure of the Company’s operating performance pr esc ribed by GAAP. A reconciliation of these non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for historical periods is presented at the end of this presentation. The Company is unable to reconc ile its projected Free Cash Flow and Long - term EBITDA margin target to the corresponding GAAP measures because the amount and timing of many future charges that impact these measures are variable, uncertain, or out of o ur control and therefore cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort, if at all. As a result, the Company is unable to provide reconciliations of these measures on a forward - looking basis. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations could imply a degree of precision that might be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, w hic h could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on future GAAP financial results. Forward looking statements & other information This presentation contains forward - looking statements. Statements in this presentation that are not historical facts, including without limitation statements about the Company’s beliefs and expectations, earnings guidance, recent business and economic trends, potential acquisitions, an d estimates of amounts for redeemable noncontrolling interests and deferred acquisition consideration, constitute forward - looking statements. Words suc h as “estimates”, “expects”, “contemplates”, “will”, “anticipates”, “projects”, “plans”, “intends”, “believes”, “forecasts”, “may”, “should”, a nd variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward - looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimat es and projections, and are subject to change based on a number of factors, including those outlined below. Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events, if any.

The picture can't be displayed. Definition of non - GAAP measures ▪ In addition to its reported results, MDC Partners has included in its earnings release and supplemental management presentati on certain financial results that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as "non - GAAP financial measures." Management believes that such non - GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information fo r investors analyzing period to period comparisons of the Company's results. Such non - GAAP financial measures include the following: ▪ Organic Revenue: “Organic revenue growth” and “organic revenue decline” refer to the positive or negative results, respectively, of subtractin g both the foreign exchange and acquisition (disposition) components from total revenue growth. The acquisition (disposition) c omp onent is calculated by aggregating prior period revenue for any acquired businesses, less the prior period revenue of any businesses t hat were disposed of during the current period. The organic revenue growth (decline) component reflects the constant currency impact of (a) the ch ang e in revenue of the partner firms which the Company has held throughout each of the comparable periods presented, and (b) “non - GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net”. Non - GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net consists of ( i ) for acquisitions during the current year, the revenue effect from such acquisition as if the acquisition had been owned during the equivalent period in the prior year and (ii) for acquisitions dur ing the previous year, the revenue effect from such acquisitions as if they had been owned during that entire year (or same period as the current report abl e period), taking into account their respective pre - acquisition revenues for the applicable periods, and (iii) for dispositions, the revenue effec t from such disposition as if they had been disposed of during the equivalent period in the prior year. ▪ Net New Business: Estimate of annualized revenue for new wins less annualized revenue for losses incurred in the period. ▪ Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is a non - GAAP measure that represents operating profit (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock - based compensation, deferred acquisition consideration adjustments, distributions from non - consolidated affiliates, and other items. ▪ Covenant EBITDA: Covenant EBITDA is a measure that includes pro forma adjustments for acquisitions, one - time charges, and other items, as defined in the Credit Agreement. We believe that the presentation of Covenant EBITDA is appropriate as it eliminates the effe ct of certain non - cash and other items not necessarily indicative of a company’s underlying operating performance. In addition, the presentatio n o f Covenant EBITDA provides additional information to investors about the calculation of, and compliance with, certain financial covenant s i n the Credit Agreement. ▪ EBITDA Margin: EBITDA Margin is a non - GAAP measure that represents operating profit (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock - based compensation, deferred acquisition consideration adjustments, distributions from non - consolidated affiliates, and other items, d ivided by revenue. ▪ Free Cash Flow: Free Cash Flow is a non - GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of this non - GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure cannot be presented on a forward - looking basis without unreasonable efforts. ▪ This presentation includes Organic Revenue, Net New Business, EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow , Adjusted EBITDA, and Covenant EBITDA, which are “non - GAAP financial measures,” within the meaning of SEC rules and regulations that are different from measures calcul ated and presented in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). These non - GAAP financial measures should be consid ered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other measures of the Company’s ope rat ing performance prescribed by GAAP. A reconciliation of these non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for hist orical periods is presented at the end of this presentation. The Company is unable to reconcile its projected Free Cash Flow and Lon g - t erm EBITDA margin target to the corresponding GAAP measures because the amount and timing of many future charges that impacts these meas ure s are variable, uncertain, or out of our control and therefore cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort, if at al l. As a result, the Company is unable to provide reconciliations of these measures on a forward - looking basis. In addition, the Company believes suc h reconciliations could imply a degree of precision that might be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is un abl e to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significa nt, impact on future GAAP financial results.
