Forward Looking Statements and Non-GAAP
Financial Metrics
Certain statements in this presentation may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are not historical facts but rather are based on the Company’s
current expectations, estimates and projections regarding the Company’s business, operations and other factors relating thereto. Words such as “may,” “will,”
“could,” “would,” “should,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions are
used to identify these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements relating to our
operations and business include: fluctuations in the price and availability of resins and other raw materials and our ability to pass any increased costs of raw
materials on to our customers in a timely manner; volatility in general business and economic conditions in the markets in which we operate, including, without
limitation, factors relating to availability of credit, interest rates, fluctuations in capital and business and consumer confidence; cyclicality and seasonality of the
non-residential and residential construction markets and infrastructure spending; the risks of increasing competition in our existing and future markets, including
competition from both manufacturers of high performance thermoplastic corrugated pipe and manufacturers of products using alternative materials; our ability to
continue to convert current demand for concrete, steel and PVC pipe products into demand for our high performance thermoplastic corrugated pipe and Allied
Products; the effect of weather or seasonality; the loss of any of our significant customers; the risks of doing business internationally; the risks of conducting a
portion of our operations through joint ventures; our ability to expand into new geographic or product markets; our ability to achieve the acquisition component of
our growth strategy; the risk associated with manufacturing processes; our ability to manage our assets; the risks associated with our product warranties; our
ability to manage our supply purchasing and customer credit policies; the risks associated with our self-insured programs; our ability to control labor costs and to
attract, train and retain highly-qualified employees and key personnel; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; changes in laws and regulations,
including environmental laws and regulations; our ability to project product mix; the risks associated with our current levels of indebtedness; our ability to meet
future capital requirements and fund our liquidity needs; and the other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for the Company to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an
impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included
herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the Company’s expectations,
objectives or plans will be achieved in the timeframe anticipated or at all. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking
statements and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by law.
This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures to describe the Company’s performance.  The reconciliation of those measures to GAAP
measures are provided within the appendix of the presentation.  Those disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in
accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Commentary
FY2015 Net Sales and EBITDA Guidance
Net Sales
-
$1.185 billion to $1.2 billion
Adjusted EBITDA
-
$156 million to $160 million
Fundamentally, our business remains strong as
we continue to see robust demand for our
products in favorable end markets.
As we saw last quarter, unexpected weather
patterns can have a significant impact on our
results, with adverse weather historically
having the greatest impact during the fiscal
third and fourth quarters.
The recent, unusually cold weather in the last
half of February 2015 has caused a temporary
standstill in construction projects in
geographies ranging from New England to
Texas and the Carolinas, delaying their start or
completion.  As these projects start back up, we
will see revenue normalize, though the timing of
this is out of our control.

Effectively passed on historical increases in resin costs via price increases
Focused on increasing the use of less costly and less volatile recycled resin in our production process while
maintaining product quality and performance characteristics
We hedge ~50% of anticipated virgin resin volumes for 12-month rolling periods
The “shale revolution”
underway in the United States is ushering in positive dynamics for the production of our key raw
materials
The anticipated result of increased ethylene plant capacity coming online is lower overall prices as well as less price
volatility for resin
Raw Material Cost Management
Through a combination of our increasing utilization of non-virgin material and overall improving market
dynamics for resin we are well positioned to manage raw material
costs

North America Polyethylene Capacity Expansions
The next wave of capacity expansion will be in
North America
Low cost natural gas liquids from shale gas production
have made North America the low cost producer of
ethylene, and thus polyethylene, outside of the Middle
East
Most U.S. and Canadian polyethylene producers
have announced capacity expansions with startups
prior to 2018
Similar to the expansion schedule in the Middle East
over the last 10 years, it is likely that many of these
projects will be delayed or slow to come on-stream; thus
the surge of new capacity is expected to be more
gradual then announced
