2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains statements that relate to future events and expectations and as such constitute forward-looking statements. It is important to note that the Company’s performance, and actual results, financial condition or business could differ materially from those expressed in such forward- looking statements. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes”, “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” or other words of similar meaning. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the general economic conditions in markets and countries where we have operations; fluctuations in end market demand; risks associated with our non-U.S. operations; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; the competitive environment in which we operate; changes in the availability or cost of raw materials and energy; risks associated with our manufacturing activities; our ability to meet quality standards; our ability to protect our trade names; violations of laws and regulations; the impact of environmental issues and changes in environmental laws and regulations; our ability to successfully execute and integrate acquisitions; comparability of our specified scaled disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies; labor disturbances, including any resulting from suspension or termination of our collective bargaining agreements; our significant indebtedness; covenant restrictions; the interests of our principal equity holder may not be aligned with the holders of our 9.5% Senior Notes; and credit-rating downgrades. More detailed information about factors that could affect future performance or results may be found in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and subsequent reports. Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a guarantee of future performance or results, nor will they prove to be accurate indications of the times at or by which any such performance or results will be achieved. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in future operating results, financial condition or business over time. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Some of the information included in this presentation is derived from our consolidated financial information but is not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain of these data are considered “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” under SEC rules. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the Appendix to this presentation. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are provided as a means to enhance communications with security holders by providing additional information regarding our operating results and liquidity. Management uses these Non-GAAP Financial Measures in evaluating our performance and in determining debt covenant calculations. Any reference during the discussion today to EBITDA means Adjusted EBITDA for which we have provided a reconciliation in the Appendix. Cautionary Statements
