Investor Presentation December 2020
2 Other than statements of historical fact, all information contained in this presentation, including
statements regarding the future operating results and financial position of Telos Corporation (the “Company”), its business strategy and plans, product, service, and technology offerings, market growth and trends, and objectives for future
operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “plan”, “predict”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “goal”, “strategy”, “believe”,
and similar expressions and variations thereof. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results
of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described under
the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and in the registration statement that the Company has filed with the SEC in connection with the recent initial public offering of its
common stock. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, the new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for the Company to predict all risks, nor can it assess the effect of all factors on
its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements it may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions,
the future events and trends discussed in this presentation may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.You should not rely on forward-looking
statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it cannot guarantee that the future results, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
presentation and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.This presentation contains statistical data, estimates, and forecasts that are based
on independent industry publications or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on the Company’s internal sources. While the Company believes the industry and market data included in this presentation are reliable
and are based on reasonable assumptions, these data involve many assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates. The Company has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data
