The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are non-GAAP are Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and net debt.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding the Company’s financial
performance. It is management’s belief that these non-GAAP financial measures would be particularly useful to investors because of the significant changes that
have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business in accordance with the execution of the Company’s strategy. This strategy includes streamlining the
Company’s existing operations through site and functional consolidations, strategic divestitures, expanding the Company’s business through significant internal
investments, and broadening the Company’s product and service offerings through acquisition of innovative and complementary technologies and solutions.  The
financial impact of certain elements of these activities, particularly acquisitions, divestitures, and site and functional restructurings, are often large relative to the
Company’s overall financial performance, which can adversely affect the comparability of its operating results and investors’
ability to analyze the business from
period to period.  
The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by management to evaluate operating performance, communicate financial results to the
Board of Directors, benchmark results against historical performance and the performance of peers, and evaluate investment opportunities including acquisitions
and divestitures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees.  Accordingly, the Company believes
that this non-GAAP measure provides greater transparency and insight into management’s method of analysis.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. 
They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have
a material effect on the Company’s reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as
the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in
conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this presentation.
