2 Forward Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Reconciliations Various statements herein and remarks that we may make today about Xerium's future expectations, plans and prospects are forward-looking statements which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Statements which include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” anticipate”, and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements for the purposes of the federal securities laws or otherwise. Our actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements and estimates as a result of various important factors, including those discussed in our earnings press release dated March 3, 2015, which is posted in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.xerium.com, and other factors discussed in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, all of which are on file with the SEC and are also available in the investor relations section of our website at www.xerium.com under the heading "SEC Filings." In addition, market data about the production volumes of our end-users is no guarantee of future production levels. Last, any forward-looking statements which we make in this presentation or in remarks today, represent our views only as of today. We disclaim any duty to update any such forward looking statements. We also plan to discuss supplementary non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, that we use internally to assess financial performance, and therefore, believe will assist you in better understanding our company. Reconciliations of these measures to the comparable GAAP numbers are available in our most recent earnings press release, in this presentation and in an additional reconciliation schedule, all of which are posted in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.xerium.com.
