information to provide investors with greater insight, increase transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.&nbsp;The <FONT

with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. In addition, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures included in this press release do not have standard meanings and may vary from
similarly titled <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures used by other companies.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company believes that organic net sales
growth, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted per share measures are useful as supplements to its GAAP results of operations to evaluate certain aspects of its operations
and financial performance, and its management team primarily focuses on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> items in evaluating performance for business planning purposes.&nbsp;The company also believes that these measures assist it
with comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in its opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance including, for example,
intangibles amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring expenses, and other charges which management considers to be outside core operating results.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors a measure of cash
generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company believes that its presentation of these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures is useful because it provides investors
and securities analysts with the same information that Middleby uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance. </P>
