MediBeacon 16 (1) Based on studies from LifeSci Advisors (2019) and L.E.K. (2017) commissioned by MediBeacon (2) Based on Effimed Exploratory GI Market Research (2017) commissioned by MediBeacon (3) Based on Medicare Plan B data from 2012-2017 combined with MediBeacon market assumptions (4) Based on US Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC) statistics, “Urologic Complications from Surgery” Washington University School of Medicine (2021) and MediBeacon market assumptions • MediBeacon is developing the first real-time monitoring of kidney function which has received “breakthrough device designation” from the FDA and is being developed to address a $7 billion market(1). According to the FDA, a “Breakthrough Device” like the Transdermal GFR Measurement System is a product that has the potential to be more effective at diagnosing a life threatening or irreversible debilitating disease or condition compared to the current standard of care • Significant medical opinions exist that current diagnostic tests to measure kidney function are inaccurate, providing indirect measurements, and are not real-time. Accurate kidney measurement is critical for treating patients in the hospital with 20-40% of patients at risk for kidney failure in critical care settings • MediBeacon’s Transdermal GFR Measurement System includes a patented compound, Lumitrace™ that is entirely eliminated by the kidneys. Lumitrace™ fluorescence is detected by a sensor placed on the skin, analogous to pulse oximetry for oxygen saturation. • MediBeacon’s technology platform is being developed for use in gastrointestinal, ocular, and surgical visualization markets. Gastrointestinal is a $1 billion market(2), ocular is a $200 million market(3) and surgical visualization is a $100 million market.(4) • US & global pivotal studies are expected to begin early 2022 with premarket approval submission expected in 2022 • MediBeacon was founded by Steve Hanley, past President of Covidien’s $1.2 billion Imaging Diagnostic Platform, and Dr. Richard Dorshow, the physicist inventor of the technology • Strong patent portfolio: 139 granted patents & 199 pending applications

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This presentation contains, and certain oral statements made by our representatives from time to time may contain, "forward-looking statements." Generally, forward-looking statements include information describing actions, events, results, strategies and expectations and are generally identifiable by use of the words “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “might,” or “continues” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and inherently involve certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties. INNOVATE Corp. (“INNOVATE”) believes these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance, results or the creation of stockholder value and INNOVATE’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, including those that may be identified in subsequent statements and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including in our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K. Such important factors include, without limitation: the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts of the pandemic and of businesses’ and governments’ responses to the pandemic on INNOVATE’s operations and personnel, and on commercial activity and demand across our businesses, capital market conditions, including the ability of INNOVATE and INNOVATE’s subsidiaries to raise capital; the ability of INNOVATE’s subsidiaries and portfolio companies to generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make upstream cash distributions; volatility in the trading price of INNOVATE common stock; the ability of INNOVATE and its subsidiaries and portfolio companies to identify any suitable future acquisition or disposition opportunities; our ability to realize efficiencies, cost savings, income and margin improvements, growth, economies of scale and other anticipated benefits of strategic transactions; difficulties related to the integration of financial reporting of acquired or target businesses; difficulties completing pending and future acquisitions and dispositions; effects of litigation, indemnification claims, and other contingent liabilities; changes in regulations and tax laws; and risks that may affect the performance of the operating subsidiaries and portfolio companies of INNOVATE. Although INNOVATE believes its expectations and assumptions regarding its future operating performance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the expectations reflected herein will be achieved. These risks and other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, and our other reports filed with the SEC could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to INNOVATE or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and unless legally required, INNOVATE undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 36
Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this presentation, INNOVATE refers to certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes results for discontinued operations, and Adjusted EBITDA for its operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement recognized under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which could limit its usefulness. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used by the financial community To provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-U.S. GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our U.S. GAAP financial results. Using Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure has inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as this non-GAAP measure excludes certain items, including items that are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of the exclusions, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the results of operations and any consolidating eliminations of our Insurance segment. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) as adjusted for discontinued operations; depreciation and amortization; Other operating (income) expense, which is inclusive of (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets, lease termination costs, asset impairment expense and FCC reimbursements; interest expense; net gain (loss) on contingent consideration; loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt; gain (loss) on sale of subsidiaries; other (income) expense, net; foreign currency transaction (gain) loss included in cost of revenue; income tax (benefit) expense; noncontrolling interest; bonus to be settled in equity; share-based compensation expense; non-recurring items; costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and acquisition and disposition costs. Third Party Sources Third party information presented in this presentation is based on sources we believe to be reliable, however there can be no assurance information so presented will prove accurate in whole or in part. 37
