Continued Momentum with First Quarter of Multiple Customer Deployment Starts

Strong Improvement in Gross Margin to 18.8%

Announced Proposed Business Combination with SVF Investment Corp. 3

Symbotic LLC, a revolutionary A.I.-enabled technology platform for the supply chain, today announced financial results for its parent entity, Warehouse Technologies LLC, and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Symbotic") for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, ended December 25, 2021. Symbotic posted revenue of $77.1 million, adjusted EBITDA of $(21.3) million and a quarterly net income of $(23.1) million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. In the same period of fiscal 2021, Symbotic had revenue of $5.5 million, adjusted EBITDA of $(25.2) million and a quarterly net income of $(26.2) million.

"I am excited to see Symbotic installing production systems with multiple customers at several sites, simultaneously, as our business continues to rapidly scale," said Rick Cohen, Symbotic's CEO. "Automation in the warehouse has become imperative to supply chain delivery, and our customers are excited to be implementing our technology."

"We are excited to end the first quarter of fiscal 2022 with a contracted backlog of $5.3 billion, providing clear visibility towards our future growth. Gross margin in the fiscal 2022 first quarter increased to 18.8%, up from (10.2)% in the same period of fiscal 2021, driven by our transition to the deployment of production systems from prototype deployments," said Tom Ernst, Symbotic's CFO. "We are pleased to partner with Walmart, a company at the forefront of consumer trends and supply chain efficiencies, as well as with SoftBank and other established investors as part of the proposed business combination with SVF Investment Corp. 3, which we believe will position us with a very strong balance sheet to execute our high-growth strategy."

Symbotic has posted a presentation with historical quarterly financial information on the Investor Relations page of its website at https://www.symbotic.com/investor-relations.

Symbotic has previously announced its entry into a business combination agreement with SVF Investment Corp. 3 (NASDAQ:SVFC), a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), that is expected to make Symbotic a public company listed on Nasdaq. In connection with the proposed business combination, SVF Investment Corp. 3 filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC on February 4, 2022, which includes a preliminary proxy statement and prospectus of SVF Investment Corp. 3.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. Symbotic defines adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as GAAP net loss excluding the following items: interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets; unit-based compensation; business combination transaction expenses; and other non-recurring items that may arise from time to time. In addition to Symbotic's financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Symbotic believes that adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating the performance of its business because it highlights trends in its core business. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool. Symbotic does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider any non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that the non-GAAP financial measures Symbotic uses may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies. Symbotic recommends that investors review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning our possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words "believes," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "forecasts," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "plans," "scheduled," "anticipates" or "intends" or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in SVF's final prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 10, 2021 and SVF's registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on February 4, 2022. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and SVF and Symbotic believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and neither SVF nor Symbotic is under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports, which SVF has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in SVF's prospectus filed with the SEC on March 10, 2021 and SVF's registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on February 4, 2022 and those identified elsewhere in this press release, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: ability to meet the closing conditions to a business combination between SVF and Symbotic (the "Business Combination") pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 12, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among SVF, Warehouse Technologies LLC, Symbotic Holdings LLC and Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp., including approval by stockholders of SVF and Symbotic on the expected terms and schedule; delay in closing the Business Combination; failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed transaction; the effects of pending and future legislation; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; business disruption following the transaction; risks related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition and results of operations of SVF and Symbotic; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or the termination of any of certain subscription agreements entered into by SVF with certain parties in connection with the Merger Agreement; the amount of redemption requests made by SVF's stockholders; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Symbotic's business relationships, performance, and business generally; the ability to meet NASDAQ listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the transaction; the ability of SVF to issue equity securities in connection with the transaction; other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; and risks related to SVF's restatement of financials, as described on a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 30, 2021.

Any financial projections in this press release are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond SVF's and Symbotic's control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, SVF and Symbotic believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indication that SVF and Symbotic, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.

Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in SVF and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in SVF. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning SVF and Symbotic, the proposed transaction or other matters and attributable to SVF and Symbotic or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.
