6 AvidXchange | Private & Confidential DRAFT 6 Valuation Description Analyses Methodology ? Public company multiples – B2B payments & office of the CFO sectors – Financial profile peers – Rule of X ? Precedent transaction multiples – Selected recent software and FinTech M&A ? Useful for understanding market sentiment to sectors and performance profiles ? Provides context for where peer companies (for reasons such as general business profile and financial profile, among others) trade in current markets vs. their respective financial metrics Market Multiples ? 5-year DCF ? 5-year LBO ? “Truest” form of valuation, the precision for which depends on visibility of long-term drivers of growth, margin, and cashflow ? Combines the present values of projected cashflows over a defined period of time with the “terminal value” of the business estimated using a range of multiples on terminal period financials Intrinsic Cashflow FT Partners applied LRP figures to market multiples and intrinsic cashflow-based valuation methodologies Insights from these valuation analyses are fundamentally dependent on visibility of the LRP forecast. If an individual investor or the market more broadly has more bearish expectations for AvidXchange’s future performance compared to the LRP, then perception of value will be negatively impacted versus the figures presented here.

13 AvidXchange | Private & Confidential Equity market data as of 12/16/24 for 52 publicly traded primarily enterprise software companies DRAFT 13 Rule of X efficiency score is defined here as YoY revenue growth rate times 2.0 plus EBITDA margin AvidXchange current multiples and revenue estimates from Current LRP for 2024E / 2025E of $439mm / $487mm respectively AVDX implied valuation assuming Current LRP 2025E ? Rule of X efficiency components ? 2025E Revenue Growth: 10.8% o Growth at 2.0x multiplier: 21.5% ? 2025E EBITDA Margin: 20.3% ? Rule of X Efficiency Score: 41.9% ? Implied EV & 2025E revenue multiple: $2.4bn (5.0x) ? Implied share price & premium vs. AVDX today : $12.93 (+15%) What is Rule of X? Rule of X analysis is a variation of Rule of 40 that increases the weighting of revenue growth in the efficiency score because this modified score demonstrates higher correlation to public companies’ valuations versus traditional Rule of 40. The classic rule of 40 efficiency score (calculated as revenue growth rate + profit margin) assumes an equal weighting of profitability to revenue growth. The Rule of X efficiency score gives 2.0x weighting to revenue growth in the calculations shown here. AVDX is currently trading at a 15% - 32% discount to the share price implied by the LRP’s 2024E and 2025E revenue growth and EBITDA margin and Rule of X market value correlation 10.0x 15.0x 20.0x 25% 50% 75% 100% 2025E Revenue Multiple vs. 2025E Efficiency 5.0x 42% AVDX Current LRP Rule of X efficiency AVDX Multiple at Rule of X Valuation AVDX Current Multiple Implied 2025E Revenue Multiple Curve vs. Rule of X Efficiency 4.3x AVDX implied valuation assuming Current LRP 2024E ?
