Statement Regarding Use of
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Cytek has presented certain financial information in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and also on a non-GAAP basis for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. Management believes that
non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted gross profit,” “Adjusted gross profit margin,” and “Adjusted EBITDA loss,” referenced in this release, taken in conjunction
with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information for both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other expenses that are not indicative of the company’s core operating
results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to compare the company’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark the company’s performance externally against competitors. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of the company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Cytek
encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business.
Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP operating results are presented in the accompanying tables of this release.
