Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cellectis S.A. provides adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share measures that include adjustments to figures presented in accordance with GAAP. In presenting adjusted net income, GAAP net income is adjusted to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Cellectis believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Cellectis' financial performance. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Cellectis may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Please refer below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.
