Dear Shareholder,
We have recently mailed to our shareholders a copy of our 2024 Annual Report, as it accompanied the mailing of our 2024 Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement. The Proxy Statement has been provided in connection with our 2024 Annual Meeting scheduled to be conducted at our headquarters in Renton, Washington, on November 15, 2024, at 9:00 local time.
We have determined that the Annual Shareholders Letter within the 2024 Annual Report contained a typographical error identifying our Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, at 19.6%. Rather, the actual Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, was 13.2%(1). While clerical errors of this nature are always regrettable, we are confident that this error has not had an impact on our shareholders as the actual Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 13.2% was correctly reported in other places within the 2024 Annual Report; namely, the Financial Highlights section, and on page 33 of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. As well, the correct Adjusted EBITDA Margin was reported within our Press Release dated September 12, 2024, announcing financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended June 30, 2024.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and management of Radiant Logistics, we look forward to hearing from you at our 2024 Annual Meeting and continuing to deliver meaningful value for you during fiscal 2025 and beyond.
With regards,
Bohn H. Crain
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
October 23, 2024
(1) We note that Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of income management considers useful in analyzing our results. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures presented to our GAAP-based net income, as well as a description of our non-GAAP measures, is included on the last page of our 2024 Annual Report and generally copied on Annex I attached hereto, for the convenience of our shareholders. Our non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace any presentation included within our consolidated financial statements.

ANNEX I – RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In our 2024 Annual Report and accompanying Proxy Statement, we use the terms adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted gross profit, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to provide stockholders additional information to facilitate the comparison of our past and present operations. We believe non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used to evaluate our performance on a comparable year-over-year basis. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive or standard set of accounting rules or principles. Accordingly, the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of other companies using the same or similar names limiting, to some extent, the usefulness of such measures for comparison purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate our financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Accordingly, we qualify our use of non-GAAP financial information in a statement when non-GAAP financial information is presented.
ADJUSTED GROSS PROFIT
The following table presents a reconciliation of our adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit percentage, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
