Section 2 - Financial Information

Section 7 - Regulation FD

As previously announced, on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, at 9:00 AM (Eastern Time), members of the senior management of VWR Funding, Inc. (the “Company”) will hold a teleconference to discuss the Company’s financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012. A copy of the press release issued by the Company on February 28, 2013, which provides information regarding the teleconference, was attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2013.

Management’s presentation will contain a discussion of certain financial measures which are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as described below.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management’s presentation will include a discussion of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for certain items described below (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, the table presented below reconciles this non-GAAP measure to net income or loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Net income or loss is the most comparable GAAP measure of our operating results presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss or any other GAAP measure of performance or liquidity. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of charges primarily associated with financing decisions, tax regulations and capital investments, and includes certain other adjustments described below. Adjusted EBITDA is a key financial metric used by the Company’s investors and management to evaluate and measure the Company’s operating performance.

Reconciliation of Reported Net Income or Loss to Adjusted EBITDA

(in millions)

As reflected in the reconciliation above, the Company recorded certain significant income and expenses during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Net Debt

Management’s presentation also will include a discussion of net indebtedness (“Net Debt”). Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. The table presented below reconciles this non-GAAP measure to total debt. Total debt is the most comparable GAAP measure presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to total debt or any other GAAP measure of indebtedness or financial condition. Our calculation of Net Debt reduces our total debt by the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand as well as by our compensating cash balance. As noted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we account for our notional global cash pooling arrangement on a gross basis. Consequently, our total debt balance as of each period end includes aggregated bank overdraft positions for subsidiaries participating in our notional global cash pooling arrangement. Net Debt is an important financial metric used by the Company’s creditors, investors and management to evaluate and measure the Company’s financial condition.

Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt

(in millions)

As further detailed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012, on September 4, 2012, the Company irrevocably called for redemption, on October 4, 2012, the remaining $610.3 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% Senior Notes outstanding and deposited $639.6 million of cash that we received upon the issuance of 7.25% Senior Notes, representing the redemption price, call premiums plus all interest payable through the settlement date, in an account with the trustee for the 10.25% Senior Notes. The 10.25% Senior Notes were classified within the current portion of long-term debt and the cash on deposit was recorded as restricted cash deposits with trustee, each within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012.

Net Leverage

Management’s presentation also will include a discussion of the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the latest twelve month period, to be referred to as the Company’s “Net Leverage” as of a point in time. This financial ratio is not itself a non-GAAP measurement but it consists of the non-GAAP measures described and reconciled above. The table below provides the calculation of Net Leverage that will be discussed during management’s presentation.
