Reinvesting for Profitable Growth

Baseline Revenue

• Profitable existing business growing naturally– Our costs to operate this business are composed of:

• Direct cost of miles – variable

• Employment / other op costs – largely static

• Includes overhead ( finance / facilities/ corp costs/ ongoing operations etc)

Growth Activity • revenue from optimizing products / services that are already installed

– Today, particularly on consumer business we don’t see “in year” returns – Costs include marketing activity, account management activity, tech costs

Pipeline• revenue from new relationships and/or new business from existing partners

– We plan resources based on anticipated sales (+/-25 products in 2009)– Costs in place for the year…tech, sales, travel etc– Rev’s come in as products close/launch…ie some in feb some in dec– All in, don’t typically see payback in year

• However, deals typically are 3+ years long, so we see returns over time

Apr 19, 2023Page: 12

$5 + million of 2009 operating cost is focused on producing growth

– Expected payback on Year 0 growth investment is 14 -18 months

Sample for illustrative purposes

Revenue Costs MarginLaunch Direct Ops

Yr 1 $9mm $5mm $7mm -$3 mmYr 1-4 $70mm $5mm $50mm $4mm $11mm

– We have visibility on the investment • it’s either “in process” now or in our experience, close.

– It has a 'string' on it:• if the business doesn't show up we can manages costs down

– Investing in longer term growth with +/-18 month payback, and a strong ROI beyond that, has been a consistent approach

– We manage the amount of opportunity we pursue based on available financial resources• maintaining and annual positive Ebitda.
