Slide 2

Forward Looking Statements Forward-Looking Statements   This presentation contains forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the protection of the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “objective,” “goal,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will,” “should,” “may,” “target,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “outlook” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Similarly, descriptions of the Company’s objectives, strategies, plans, goals or targets are also forward-looking statements.   Forward-looking statements are based upon management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance that may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Although management believes the expectations expressed in forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge, forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which may materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.   Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the risks discussed in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to Form S-4 Registration Statement on Form S-4 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 23, 2018, and the factors discussed from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. This presentation should be read in conjunction with such filings, and you should consider all of such risks, uncertainties and other factors carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. This presentation was prepared as of March 21, 2019, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.   Pro Forma Information and Non-GAAP Financial Measures   This presentation includes pro forma financial results which include the combined results of operations for Fairmount Santrol and Unimin for periods preceding the June 1, 2018 merger. This presentation also includes non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and other measures identified as “adjusted” results. Please refer to the Appendix for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes this supplemental financial information enhances an investor’s understanding of Covia’s financial performance as it excludes those items which impact comparability of operating trends. The non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the results as reported by Covia. The inclusion of non-GAAP financial information as used in this presentation is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of presentation and items considered.
