Special Note Regarding Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Information

The attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Information for APi Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared based on the U.S. accounting principles and standards ("U.S. GAAP") applicable to private companies (the "Historical Financial Statements"). APi Group, Inc. was acquired by the Company on October 1, 2019. In connection with the anticipated registration statement to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") the Historical Financial Statements of APi Group Inc. will be revised to comply with U.S. GAAP applicable to public companies (the "Public Company Financial Statements"). In preparing the Public Company Financial Statements, the Company will need to apply certain accounting standards under U.S. GAAP applicable to public companies that were not applicable to these historical financial statements. As a result, the Public Company Financial Statements, which were not available as of this announcement, may differ materially from the Historical Financial Statements. The actual type and amount of the impact of the conversion on APi Group, Inc.'s consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and cash flows are not yet known.

Based on information available as of the Announcement Date, the expected differences are as follows:

(i)  We expect the application of ASC 606 (related to revenue recognition) to be adopted as of January 1, 2018, using the modified-retrospective method of adoption, will decrease revenues and gross profit by less than 1%. The net difference on the income statement will also increase current assets. As of January 1, 2018, a cumulative effective adjustment will be recorded which is expected to increase current assets for the treatment of capitalized fulfillment costs. This adjustment will be offset with a corresponding adjustment to opening retained earnings.

(ii)  The application of ASC 842 (related to leases) prospectively as of January 1, 2019 is expected to result in an increase in fixed assets related to "right of use assets" of between $105 and $115 million and a corresponding lease liability. The effect on 2019 earnings, based upon 2018 data, is expected to be minimal.

(iii)  We have historically accounted for business combinations and goodwill in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to private companies. In the Public Company Financial Statements, goodwill will be restated to a) separately classify certain identifiable intangible asset amounts such as customer relationship, b) reverse the effects of amortizing goodwill, and c) adjust for any impairment charges not previously recorded under U.S. GAAP application to private companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, pro forma adjusted EBIT, profit before tax net income and EPS and organic revenue growth, which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand the Company's financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. While the Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company's performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Additionally, these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.  The Company uses these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results for its reportable segments, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry, and for noncash stock-based compensation expense, can also be subject to volatility from changes in the market price per share of the Company's common stock or variations in the value of shares granted. The Company presents non-U.S. GAAP financial measures on a pro forma basis, including pro forma adjusted EBIT, pro forma adjusted net income, and pro forma adjusted EPS, to illustrate the impact of the APi Group, Inc. acquisition. Specifically, the pro forma financial metrics reflect the debt facilities incurred by the Company in connection with the acquisition had they been incurred at the beginning of the periods presented, adjust for the long-term tax benefit from the acquisition and factor in the capitalization of the Company post-acquisition. The Company believes that these pro forma measures provide a more complete picture of our results after factoring in the Company's current debt and capitalization structure. The Company uses organic revenue growth, which excludes revenue from companies acquired during the periods presented, to assess its performance without the impact of acquisitions in order to provide a useful period-to-period comparison. The Company believes that organic revenue growth is useful to investors to help understand the Company's growth in revenues not attributable to acquired businesses.  A reconciliation of these Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is included later in this press release.
