Non-GAAP Disclosure

Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used in key financial covenants contained in SS&C Holdings’ senior credit facilities, which are material facilities supporting SS&C Holdings’ capital structure and providing liquidity to its business. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under SS&C Holdings’ senior credit facilities. SS&C Holdings believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Consolidated EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with the specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests contained in SS&C Holdings’ senior credit facilities.

Management uses Consolidated EBITDA to gauge the costs of SS&C Holdings’ capital structure on a day-to-day basis when full financial statements are unavailable. Management further believes that providing this information allows SS&C Holdings’ investors greater transparency and a better understanding of SS&C Holdings’ ability to meet its debt service obligations and make capital expenditures.

Any breach of covenants in SS&C Holdings’ senior credit facilities that are tied to ratios based on Consolidated EBITDA could result in a default under that agreement, in which case the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable and to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under SS&C Holdings’ indenture. Any default and subsequent acceleration of payments under SS&C Holdings’ debt agreements would have a material adverse effect on SS&C Holdings’ results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Additionally, under SS&C Holdings’ debt agreements, SS&C Holdings’ ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to ratios based on Consolidated EBITDA.

Consolidated EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Further, SS&C Holdings’ senior credit facilities require that Consolidated EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, the measure can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter. Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.

Consolidated EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP, and investors should not consider Consolidated EBITDA as a substitute for measures of SS&C Holdings’ financial

performance and liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, operating income or net cash provided by operating activities. Because other companies may calculate Consolidated EBITDA differently than SS&C Holdings does, Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Consolidated EBITDA has other limitations as an analytical tool, when compared to the use of net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, including:

	•		Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the provision of income tax expense in SS&C Holdings’ various jurisdictions;
	•		Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense incurred as a result of SS&C Holdings’ debt leverage;
	•		Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect any attribution of costs to SS&C Holdings’ operations related to investments and capital expenditures through depreciation and amortization charges;
	•		Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the cost of compensation provided to SS&C Holdings’ employees in the form of stock option awards; and
	•		Consolidated EBITDA excludes expenses that SS&C Holdings believes are unusual or non-recurring, but which others may believe are normal expenses for the operation of a business.
