All forward-looking statements, express or implied, herein are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures used in this presentation provide meaningful information about underlying trends in its business and operations and provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial position and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, SPFI’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition of the Company as reported under GAAP. Numbers in this presentation may not sum due to rounding. 2
