Net debt is defined as total debt less cash & cash equivalents. Total debt is defined as long-term debt plus current 9.5x maturities of long-term debt and short-term borrowings. We have not reconciled the forward-looking net CP&P 5% to 10% 2025 EBITDA debt to EBITDA ratio presented above and discussed on the related conference call to the comparable GAAP measure because applicable information for future periods, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, future financial 1 2 CMC 6.1x ~20% to ~30% results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the forward-looking net debt to EBITDA ratio is not available at this time without unreasonable effort Tax benefit will reduce CP&P’s maintenance capex requirements are lower, effective multiple to meaning it converts more of its EBITDA to cash ~8.5x vs the level shown 16 CMC is buying a good business at a fair price given strong fundamentals and cash flow capabilities
