Forward-Looking Statement
Non-GAAP Measures and Other Definitions
Safe Harbor
2
To evaluate our performance, we monitor a number of key indicators at the consolidated level and, in certain cases, at the segment level. As appropriate, we
supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measurements that we believe are useful to
investors, creditors and others in assessing our performance. These measurements should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP
results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measurements, and such measurements may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measurements reported by other companies. Rather, these measurements should be considered as an additional way of
viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage readers to review our consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere herein and in publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measurement.
See “Non-GAAP Measures” in our publicly filed reports.
This presentation contains statements about future events and expectations that constitute forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are
based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future financial and operating performance and growth plans, taking into account the information
currently available to us.  These statements are not statements of historical fact.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause
our actual results to differ materially from the expectations of future results we express or imply in any forward-looking statements and you should not place
undue reliance on such statements.  Factors that could contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, the factors described in "Risk Factors" in
VWR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “continues”, “estimates”, “expects”, “goal”, “objectives”, “intends”, “may”,
“opportunity”, “plans”, “potential”, “near-term”, “long-term”, “projections”, “assumptions”, “projects”, “guidance”, “forecasts”, “outlook”, “target”, “trends”,
“should”, “could”, “would”, “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. We qualify any forward-looking
statements entirely by these cautionary factors.  We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the
reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the
future.  Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless
expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
