NON‐ GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation includes references to financial measurements that are supplemental to the Company’s financial performance as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non‐GAAP financial measures include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital. Management believes that these non‐GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other parties in the evaluation of our performance and/or that of other companies in our industry. In addition, management uses these measures to evaluate operating performance, and our incentive compensation plan measures performance based on our consolidated EBITDA, along with other factors. The methods we use to produce these non‐GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. 3

NON‐ GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES(UNAUDITED) To help understand the Company’s financial performance, the Company has supplemented its financial results that it provides in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with non‐GAAP financial measures.
