Key Business MetricsFast Radius reviews Key Business Metrics, including those detailed above, to measure its performance, identify trends in its business environment, create and execute on business plans, and make strategic decisions that will impact its future operational results.

Key Business Metrics are limited as an analytical tool as: (1) they may not accurately predict Fast Radius’ future GAAP financial results (2) Fast Radius may not realize all of the contract value reflected in its Bookings, and (3) other companies, specifically companies in Fast Radius’ industry, may calculate Key Business Metrics differently, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures. Bookings can vary significantly between fiscal quarters. As such, information regarding Bookings is not comparable to, and should not be substituted for, an analysis of Fast Radius’ revenues over time.

Fast Radius’ Bookings represent the contractual value of all customer purchase orders received during a given fiscal period. Bookings vary from period to period depending on numerous factors, including the overall health of the manufacturing industry, industry consolidation, and sales performance. Fast Radius expects that the majority of purchase orders included in Bookings for a given fiscal quarter will be earned as revenues within the quarter or subsequent four fiscal quarters, with the specific timing determined by the nature and scope of each purchase order, but generally not to exceed one fiscal year. However, in some cases, larger than average, long-term purchase orders may have a delivery schedule that spans beyond four quarters. Under limited circumstances, purchase orders may be terminated or delayed by customers for reasons beyond Fast Radius’ control.
