"Strata is a market leader in the growing, non-correlated transplant industry in the midst of an incredible transformation, resulting in more organs getting to those who need them and a significantly increased need for clinical and logistical support in this life-saving mission," said Will Heyburn Co-CEO and CFO. "We are well positioned to deliver on these increased demands, and, as such, we are confident in our newly introduced target to organically sustain a high-teens Adjusted EBITDA compound annual growth rate⁽¹⁾ in the medium-term, with further opportunity for significant growth through acquisitions."

"Our integrated end to end organ recovery platform operates with a highly efficient, localized service model, saving our customers money, and more importantly, enabling faster and more efficient organ recovery processes," said Melissa Tomkiel, Co-CEO and General Counsel. "That's why, for us, acquisitions in this fragmented market aren't just about the attractive financial return, they can also expand our local service delivery area and enable us to provide additional services at lower cost to all of our customers."

<sup>(2) We have not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Free cash flow, before aircraft and engine acquisitions, Adjusted EBITDA margin, or Free cash flow conversion guidance included above to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to certain costs, the most significant of which are incentive compensation (including stock-based compensation), transaction-related expenses, certain fair value measurements, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
