Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Wallbox reports its financial information required in accordance with IFRS. This release may include certain financial measures not based on IFRS, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and selected financial data on a constant currency basis (the “Non-IFRS Measures”).

Wallbox defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, provision (benefit) for income taxes and net finance cost adjusted to take account of the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These non-cash and other items include, but not are limited to; share of loss (profit) from equity method investments, Employee Stock Purchase Plan fair valuation impact, wages and benefits for employees incurred on development activities capitalized as intangible assets and other one-off expenses related to special operations. Management uses these Non-IFRS Measures as measurements of operating performance because they assist management in comparing the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from the Company’s core operations; for planning purposes, including the preparation of management’s internal annual operating budget and financial projections; to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives; and to evaluate the Company’s capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand its business.

Wallbox may also present selected financial data translated from euro to U.S. dollar at explicitly stated rates which may not comply with IFRS financial measures. Management believes that currency translated information provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding financial implications of foreign currency translations, which management believes are not indicative of Wallbox’s core operations. Management believes providing currency translated information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations, thereby facilitating comparisons of our business performance to previously provided guidance and is consistent with how management evaluates the Company’s performance.

Wallbox’s calculations of its non-IFRS measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others and, accordingly, are not meant to be a substitution for recorded amounts presented in conformity with IFRS, nor should such amounts be considered in isolation. Reconciliations of the non-IFRS financial measures to the most closely applicable IFRS measure are presented below.
