Management Commentary “The operating environment in 2020 proved to be challenging for cities and their local law enforcement agencies, but our collective ability to adapt and respond to those challenges ensured ShotSpotter had a strong finish to the year, positioning the company for solid growth in 2021 and beyond,” said ShotSpotter CEO Ralph Clark. “Our positive results of operations for the fourth quarter include a partial quarter of contribution from LEEDS, which we acquired in late November. During the fourth quarter, we went live with Respond on five new cities and expanded Respond coverage on several existing customers. As a result, we ended the quarter with 779 miles live and approximately 813 miles under contract. We closed the year with $16.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, no debt, and an available line of credit of $20 million post our LEEDS acquisition, which ensures we have the strong balance sheet and financial flexibility to continue doing great work that matters." Mr. Clark continued, “We are making substantial progress in expanding our product suite to create a complete precision policing platform that provides more efficient and effective ways to respond to, investigate, and prevent crime beyond gunshot detection. Our precision policing platform includes: the leading acoustic gunshot detection service, ShotSpotter Respond; a community first patrol management solution, ShotSpotter Connect; and an enterprise class case management solution, ShotSpotter Investigate, which we plan to launch later this year. We believe this solution suite will unlock compelling new value propositions and open an entire new set of law enforcement agency customers. “Our trusted suite of solutions perfectly aligns with 21st century policing principles by transforming data into actionable, real-time intelligence that can help law enforcement prevent, reduce, and resolve crime with greater precision while connecting to community and without over-policing. We look forward to engaging with public safety agencies around the globe who want to transform how they go about delivering public safety outcomes,” concluded Mr. Clark. Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 increased 16% to $12.6 million from $10.9 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in revenues reflects a year-over-year increase in new live miles and partial contribution from the company’s LEEDS acquisition, which was completed on November 24, 2020. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2020 increased 10% to $7.5 million (59% of revenues) from $6.8 million (62% of revenues) for the same period in 2019. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to equipment write-offs related to customer attrition and more expensive resources required to perform equipment maintenance. Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 increased 39% to $7.7 million from $5.6 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher personnel-related costs and costs associated with the LEEDS acquisition. Net loss totaled $220,000 or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share (based on 11.5 million basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding), as compared to net income of $1.3 million or $0.12 per basic and $0.11 per diluted share (based on 11.4 million basic and 11.8 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding) for the same period in 2019. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 decreased 69% to $418,000 from $1.3 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2020 decreased 1% to $3.1 million from $3.2 million in the same period last year. Full Year 2020 Financial Results Revenues in 2020 increased 12% to $45.7 million from $40.8 million in 2019. The increase in revenues reflects a year-over-year increase in new live miles, customer renewals, and partial contribution from the company’s LEEDS acquisition, which was completed on November 24, 2020. Gross profit in 2020 increased 11% to $27.0 million (59% of revenues) from $24.3 million (60% of revenues) in 2019. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to equipment write-offs related to customer attrition and more expensive resources required to perform equipment maintenance. Total operating expenses in 2020 increased 13% to $25.7 million from $22.7 million in 2019. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased insurance costs, legal fees, personnel-related costs, and costs associated with the LEEDS acquisition. Net income totaled $1.2 million or $0.11 per basic and $0.10 per diluted share (based on 11.4 million basic and 11.7 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding), a 32% decrease from $1.8 million or $0.16 per basic and $0.15 per diluted share (based on 11.3 million basic and 11.8 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding) in 2019. Adjusted net income for 2020 increased 4% to $1.9 million from $1.8 million in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for 2020 increased 28% to $11.9 million from $9.4 million in 2019. 2021 Financial Outlook For fiscal 2021, management currently expects revenues of $58.0 million to $60.0 million, representing an increase of between 27% and 31% compared to fiscal 2020 revenues. The company estimates this will include approximately $10 million in revenues attributable from our LEEDS acquisition. The company expects to be GAAP profitable for the full year of 2021.

U.S. replay dial-in: 1-844-512-2921International replay dial-in: 1-412-317-6671Replay ID: 10013082 Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted net income: Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the company’s net income or loss before acquisition related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the company’s net income or loss before interest (income) expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management internally to understand and evaluate the company’s core operating performance and trends across accounting periods and in connection with developing future operating plans, making strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and considering initiatives focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions. In particular, the exclusion of these expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of the company’s operating performance on a period-to-period basis. ShotSpotter believes adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA also provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. For example, ShotSpotter adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related expenses because such expenses often vary for reasons that are generally unrelated to financial and operational performance in any particular period. Stock-based compensation is utilized by ShotSpotter to attract and retain employees with a goal of long-term retention and the alignment of employee interests with those of the company and its stockholders, rather than to address operational performance for any particular period based financial performance measures, in particular net income or loss, and our other GAAP financial results.
