We caution and advise readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. These statements are based on assumptions that may not be realized and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or other events to differ materially from the expectations and beliefs contained herein. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to financial results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release, all reported on a continuing operations basis: Net Sales excluding the Impact of an Accounting Change, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow, LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Leverage Ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis between fiscal periods and serve as a basis for certain Company compensation programs. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in the appendix to this presentation.

| Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 19 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all on a continuing operations basis. Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a continuing operations basis and is defined as EBITDA (which represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted for litigation; stock-based compensation expense; estimated sales tax expense, restructuring and other charges, including executive retention and severance and acquisition-related costs; costs related to production facility modernization efforts; loss on debt extinguishment; foreign currency gain or loss; and other items that are unusual in nature, infrequently occurring or not considered part of our core operations. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, unusual or non-recurring losses or gains. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lender under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations; or (g) the impact of any discontinued operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-operating, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. In addition, certain of these expenses represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other purposes. (1) Balance represents acquisition and integration costs related to the Arroweye acquisition that occurred on May 6, 2025. (2) Balance includes expenses related to executive retention and severance, as well as production facility modernization efforts. (3) In the second quarter of 2025, the Company reassessed certain aspects of its revenue recognition accounting under ASC 606 and prospectively began recognizing revenue for certain contracts at a point-in-time rather than over-time.

| Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 20 LTM Adjusted EBITDA We define LTM Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted EBITDA (defined previously) for the last twelve months. Free Cash Flow We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. We use this metric in analyzing our ability to service and repay our debt. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to make principal payments on outstanding debt and financing lease liabilities. (1) Each period presented includes the payment of an early redemption premium of $5.8 million related to the redemption of the 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 that occurred in July 2024. (2) Balance represents acquisition and integration costs related to the Arroweye acquisition that occurred on May 6, 2025. (3) Balance includes executive retention and severance costs, expenses related to production facility modernization efforts, and expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the significant stockholders that entered into an underwriting agreement for the sale of an aggregate of 1,380,000 shares of CPI common stock to the public. (4) In July 2024, the Company redeemed the entire principal balance of $267.9 million of the 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and also repaid in full and terminated a prior Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into in March 2021, and expensed the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs. (5) In the second quarter of 2025, the Company reassessed certain aspects of its revenue recognition accounting under ASC 606 and prospectively began recognizing revenue for certain contracts at a point-in-time rather than over-time. Reconciliation of cash provided by (used in) operating activities - (GAAP) to Free Cash Flow: Cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 4.3 $ (4.8) $ 9.9 $ 4.1 Capital expenditures for plant, equipment and leasehold improvements, net (3.8) (1.2) (9.1) (2.7) Free Cash Flow $ 0.5 $ (6.0) $ 0.8 $ 1.4 ($ in millions) Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Reconciliation of net income to LTM EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: Net income $ 13.4 $ 19.5 Interest, net (1) 34.1 36.9 Income tax expense 3.5 5.5 Depreciation and amortization 18.1 16.4 EBITDA $ 71.9 $ 75.5 Adjustments to EBITDA: Stock-based compensation expense $ 6.4 $ 8.5 Acquisition and integration costs (2) — 2.3 Restructuring and other charges (3) 4.8 4.2 Loss on debt extinguishment (4) 3.0 3.0 Change in revenue recognition (5) — 2.9 Subtotal of adjustments to EBITDA $ 18.8 $ 16.3 LTM Adjusted EBITDA $ 90.6 $ 91.9 June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 ($ in millions) Last Twelve Months Ended
