"expect," "intend," "may," "might," "present," "preserve,"
"project," "pursue," "will," or "would," or the negative of these

and the trading market for Playtika's common stock;
- Playtika's reliance on third-party platforms, such as the iOS

risk that such platforms may adversely change their policies;
- Playtika's reliance on a limited number of games to generate
the majority of its revenue;
- Playtika's reliance on a small percentage of total users to
generate a majority of its revenue;
- Playtika's free-to-play business model, and the value of
virtual items sold in Playtika's games, is highly dependent on how
Playtika manages the game revenues and pricing models;
- Playtika's inability to complete acquisitions and integrate any
acquired businesses successfully could limit its growth or disrupt
its plans and operations;

obligations and restrictive covenants under its debt
instruments;

the economy as a whole;

inflation, and any reductions to household spending on the types of
discretionary entertainment that Playtika offers;

- risks related to Playtika's international operations and
ownership, including Playtika's significant operations in
Israel, Ukraine and Belarus and the fact that Playtika's
controlling stockholder group includes a Chinese-owned
company;
- Playtika's reliance on key personnel;
- security breaches or other disruptions could compromise
Playtika's information or its players' information and expose
Playtika to liability; and
- Playtika's inability to protect its intellectual property and
proprietary information could adversely impact Playtika's
business.
Additional factors that may cause future events and actual
results, financial or otherwise, to differ, potentially materially,
from those discussed in or implied by the forward-looking
statements include the risks and uncertainties discussed in
Playtika's filings with the SEC. Although Playtika believes that
the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, Playtika cannot guarantee that the future results,
levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances
reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or
occur, and reported results should not be considered as an
indication of future performance. Given these risks and
uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
such forward-looking statements.
Except as required by law, Playtika undertakes no obligation to
update any forward-looking statements for any reason to conform
