Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company presents adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, 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 restructuring. Adjusted operating margin represents adjusted income (loss) from operations as a percent of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations excluding restructuring, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales. The Company presents adjusted income ) oss (l from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin because these are measures management believes are 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 restructuring, certain costs from settled interest rate swap contracts 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 flow 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 operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow and net debt have limitations as analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and interested parties 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 is included as an attachment to this presentation and has been posted online at www.muellerwaterproducts. com

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 we intend, expect, plan, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward -looking statements. Examples of forward -looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding expected volumes in our water infrastructure businesses for the second half of the year and benefits we expect to realize from higher pricing and our cost savings initiatives and other operational improvements and the impact of these factors on our businesses. Forward -looking statements are based on certain assumptions and assessments made by us in light of our 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;

our ability to service our debt obligations; and

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