1 Forward-Looking Statements / Non-GAAP Financial Measures Forward-Looking Statements During the course of this presentation, we may make forward-looking statements or provide forward- looking information. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future are forward-looking statements. Some of these statements include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “projects,” and “indicates.” Although they reflect our current expectations, these statements are not guarantees of future performance, but involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Some of the factors that may cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward- looking statements include, but are not necessarily limited to, general economic conditions, competitive pressures, the commodity nature of the Company’s products and their price movements, raw material costs and availability, and the ability to retain key employees. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments or new information. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America because management believes such measures are useful to investors. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the metrics of calculation. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and segment income (loss) to segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Appendix to this presentation.
