September 9, 2016 Brady Corporation F’16 Q4 Financial Results


 
2 Forward-Looking Statements In this presentation, statements that are not reported financial results or other historic information are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company's future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, earnings, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and objectives of management for future operations. The use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project” or “plan” or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond Brady's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For Brady, uncertainties arise from: implementation of the Workplace Safety strategy; Brady's ability to develop and successfully market technologically advanced new products; technology changes and potential security violations to the Company's information technology systems; future competition; future financial performance of major markets Brady serves, which include, without limitation, telecommunications, hard disk drive, manufacturing, electrical, construction, laboratory, education, governmental, public utility, computer, healthcare and transportation; fluctuations in currency rates versus the U.S. dollar; risks associated with international operations; difficulties associated with exports; changes in the supply of, or price for, parts and components; increased price pressure from suppliers and customers; Brady's ability to retain significant contracts and customers; risk associated with loss of key talent; risks associated with obtaining governmental approvals and maintaining regulatory compliance; risk associated with product liability claims; environmental, health and safety compliance costs and liabilities; potential write-offs of Brady's substantial intangible assets; unforeseen tax consequences; risks associated with restructuring plans and maintaining acceptable operational service metrics; risks associated with divestitures; risks associated with identifying, completing, and integrating acquisitions; risks associated with our ownership structure; Brady's ability to maintain compliance with its debt covenants; increase in our level of debt; and numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in Brady's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Part I of Brady’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2015. These uncertainties may cause Brady's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements. Brady does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Brady is presenting EBITDA because it is used by many of our investors and lenders, and is presented as a convenience to them. EBITDA represents net earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings data. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The EBITDA measure presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

Brady is presenting the Non-GAAP measures "Net Earnings from Continuing Operations Excluding Certain Items“ and “Net Earnings from Continuing Operations Per Diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share Excluding Certain Items.” These are not calculations based upon GAAP. The amounts included in these Non- GAAP measures are derived from amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and supporting footnote disclosures. We do not view these items to be part of our sustainable results. We believe these measures provide an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provide more comparable measures from year to year. The tables below provide reconciliations of Net Earnings from Continuing Operations to Net Earnings from Continuing Operations Excluding Certain Items, and Net Earnings from Continuing Operations Per Diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share to Net Earnings from Continuing Operations Per Diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share Excluding Certain Items.
