FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements included herein that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions related thereto) are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words, such as “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects” and other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. These may include, among others, statements relating to:

 

    Crown’s senior notes offerings and the use of proceeds therefrom described herein, and Crown’s ability to implement the offerings on the terms described herein;

 

    Crown’s plans or objectives for future operations, products or financial performance;

 

    Crown’s indebtedness and other contractual obligations;

 

    the impact of an economic downturn or growth in particular regions;

  * Crown made asbestos-related payments of $30 million in both 2015 and 2014 and $28 million in 2013.
  ** For the year ended December 31, 2013, restructuring and other includes $3 million of transaction costs incurred in connection with Crown’s acquisition of Mivisa that were reported in selling and administrative expense in Crown’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and do not purport to represent, and should not be viewed as indicative of, Crown’s actual or future financial condition or results of operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA information is unaudited and has been included in this exhibit because Crown believes that certain analysts, rating agencies and investors may use it as supplemental information to evaluate a company’s ability to service its indebtedness and overall performance over time. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have material limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of Crown’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. A limitation associated with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in Crown’s business. Any measure that eliminates components of Crown’s capital structure and costs associated with carrying significant amounts of assets on its balance sheet has material limitations as a performance measure. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures such as capital expenditures. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that the adjustments may vary from period to period and in the future Crown will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. Furthermore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by Crown, may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, Crown does not rely solely on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures and also considers its results as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For purposes of the covenants in the indenture governing the notes, EBITDA is defined differently, and for purposes of our credit facility and reviewing goodwill for impairment, Adjusted EBITDA is defined differently.

 

(3) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income before income taxes and equity earnings plus fixed charges (exclusive of interest capitalized during the period), amortization of interest previously capitalized and distributed income from less-than-50%-owned companies. Fixed charges include interest incurred, expensed and capitalized, amortization of debt issue costs and the portion of rental expense that is deemed representative of an interest factor. For purposes of the covenants in the indenture governing Crown’s outstanding notes, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges is defined differently.
(4) Adjusted total secured debt as of June 30, 2016 is presented as the principal outstanding after giving effect to the expected issuance of the new notes and the expected application of the net proceeds therefrom described under the caption “Use of Proceeds”, and consists of $781 million of U.S. dollar Term Loan, $388 million (€355 million) of Euro Term Loan, $355 million under the farm credit facility, $148 million under the revolving credit facilities and $5 million of other secured indebtedness.

(5) Adjusted total debt as of June 30, 2016 is presented as the principal outstanding after giving effect to the expected issuance of the new notes and the expected application of the net proceeds therefrom described under the caption “Use of Proceeds.” Adjusted total debt of $5,337 million consists of $1,677 million of secured indebtedness, $3,483 million of senior notes, including the new notes and debentures and $177 million of other indebtedness.
(6) Adjusted net interest expense reflects the use of proceeds from the issuance of the new notes, together with other available funds to repay the Term Loan facility. The rate used to calculate adjusted interest expense for the above facility was 2.35% on the U.S. dollar Term Loan and 2.00% on the Euro Term Loan. These amounts would differ, and adjusted total debt and/or secured debt would increase, if Crown uses the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes other than repaying indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities (such as repayment of senior notes).
(7) Working capital consists of current assets less current liabilities.
