Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company presents adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA,
adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net
income (loss) per share, free cash flow and net
debt as non-GAAP measures.  Adjusted income (loss) from operations represents income (loss) from operations
excluding restructuring.  This amount divided by net sales is adjusted operating margin.  Adjusted EBITDA
represents income (loss) from operations excluding restructuring, depreciation and amortization. This amount
divided by net sales is adjusted EBITDA margin.  The Company presents adjusted income (loss) from operations,
adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin because these are measures
management believes are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and interested parties in the
evaluation of financial performance.  Adjusted net income (loss)
and adjusted net income (loss) per share
exclude restructuring, certain costs from settled interest rate swap contracts, the income tax effects of these
excluded items and a tax adjustment for the repatriation of earnings.  These items are excluded because they are
not considered indicative of recurring operations.  Free cash flow represents cash flow from operating activities
less capital expenditures.  It is presented as a measurement of cash flow because it is commonly used by the
investment community.  Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents.  Net debt is commonly
used by the investment community as a measure of indebtedness.  These non-GAAP measures have limitations as
analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and interested parties should not consider any of these non-
GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").  
A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results is included as an attachment to this presentation and has been
posted online at www.muellerwaterproducts.com.

Significant Market
Opportunities

Opportunity: Aging Water Infrastructure
“America’s drinking water systems
face an annual shortfall of at
least $11 billion
to replace aging
facilities that are near the end of
their useful lives and to comply
with existing and future federal
water regulations. This does not
account for growth in the demand
for drinking water over the next
20 years.”

American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

The Market Opportunity Is Significant And Growing
Repair and Replacement Market
Aging water pipes need to be repaired/ replaced
Valves and hydrants typically replaced at same time as pipes
More than 36 states project water shortages between now and
2013
