Safe Harbor Statement

Safe Harbor Statement

This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company intends, expects, plans, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements the Company makes regarding general economic conditions, spending by municipalities, the outlook for the residential and non-residential construction markets, improvements related to capacity utilization, the recovery, if any, of the Company’s end markets, and the potential effect of the refinancing on the Company’s operations, and the impact of these factors on the Company’s businesses. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and assessments made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and the following:

• the spending level for water and wastewater infrastructure;

• the demand level of manufacturing and construction activity;

• the Company’s ability to service its debt obligations; and

• the other factors that are described in the section entitled “RISK FACTORS” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements. The Company does not have any intention or obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company presents adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow and net debt as non-GAAP measures. Adjusted income (loss) from operations represents income (loss) from operations excluding impairment and restructuring. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations excluding impairment, restructuring, depreciation and amortization. The company presents adjusted EBITDA because it is a measure of performance management and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and interested parties in the evaluation of financial performance. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share exclude impairment, restructuring, loss on early extinguishment of debt, certain costs to settle interest rate swap contracts, the tax on the repatriation of earnings from Canada and the income tax effects of the previously mentioned items. These items are excluded because they are not considered indicative of recurring operations. Free cash flow represents cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures. It is presented as a measurement of cash flow because it is commonly used by the investment community. Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is commonly used by the investment community as a measure of indebtedness. Adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow and net debt have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results in included as an attachment to this presentation and has been posted online at www.muellerwaterproducts.com
