Cautionary Statement Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those projected, anticipated or implied. The most significant of these uncertainties are described in Carpenter’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the exhibits attached to that filing. They include but are not limited to: (1) the cyclical nature of the specialty materials business and certain end-use markets, including aerospace, defense, industrial, transportation, consumer, medical, and energy, or other influences on Carpenter’s business such as new competitors, the consolidation of competitors, customers, and suppliers or the transfer of manufacturing capacity from the United States to foreign countries; (2) the ability of Carpenter to achieve cash generation, growth, earnings, profitability, cost savings and reductions, productivity improvements or process changes; (3) the ability to recoup increases in the cost of energy, raw materials, freight or other factors; (4) domestic and foreign excess manufacturing capacity for certain metals; (5) fluctuations in currency exchange rates; (6) the degree of success of government trade actions; (7) the valuation of the assets and liabilities in Carpenter’s pension trusts and the accounting for pension plans; (8) possible labor disputes or work stoppages; (9) the potential that our customers may substitute alternate materials or adopt different manufacturing practices that replace or limit the suitability of our products; (10) the ability to successfully acquire and integrate acquisitions; (11) the availability of credit facilities to Carpenter, its customers or other members of the supply chain; (12) the ability to obtain energy or raw materials, especially from suppliers located in countries that may be subject to unstable political or economic conditions; (13) Carpenter’s manufacturing processes are dependent upon highly specialized equipment located primarily in facilities in Reading and Latrobe, Pennsylvania and Athens, Alabama for which there may be limited alternatives if there are significant equipment failures or a catastrophic event; (14) the ability to hire and retain key personnel, including members of the executive management team, management, metallurgists and other skilled personnel; (15) fluctuations in oil and gas prices and production; and (16) the success of actions taken to reduce costs associated with retirement and pension plans. Any of these factors could have an adverse and/or fluctuating effect on Carpenter’s results of operations. The forward-looking statements in this document are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Carpenter undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Some of the information included in this presentation is derived from Carpenter’s consolidated financial information but is not presented in Carpenter’s financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and management’s rationale for the use of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the Appendix to this presentation. 2

Appendix of Non-GAAP & Supplemental Schedules
Non-GAAP Schedules (Unaudited) Adjusted Earnings Per Share * Beginning in Q1-17, consulting costs of $2.1 million per quarter will no longer be added back as a special item. ** Discrete income tax benefit recorded in Q2-16 as a result of a tax law change. Discrete income tax charge recorded in Q3-16 as a result of sale of equity method investment in India. Management believes that earnings per share adjusted to exclude the impact of restructuring and asset impairment charges, goodwill impairment and other special items is helpful in analyzing the operating performance of the Company, as these costs are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company's board of directors and others. 21 $ Millions except per share amountsQ4-15Q3-16 Q4-16FY15FY16 Net Income (Loss) Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share 22.5 0.44 (23.9) (0.51) 14.9 0.32 58.7 1.11 11.3 0.23 Excess Inventory Write-down Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges Goodwill Impairment Consulting Costs* Legal Settlement Income Tax Items** Impact of Tax Law Change Special Items - 2.4 - 1.7 - - - 14.7 12.0 9.3 1.4 - 0.8 - - - - 1.4 - - - - 18.9 - 3.3 (2.9) - 1.6 14.7 12.3 9.3 6.0 - 2.8 (0.8) 4.1 38.2 1.4 20.9 44.3 Net Income excluding Special Items Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share 26.6 0.52 14.3 0.30 16.3 0.35 79.6 1.51 55.6 1.16
Non-GAAP Schedules (Unaudited) Operating Income And Margin Excluding Surcharge Revenue, Pension Earnings, Interest and Deferrals "Pension EID", and Special Items Management believes that removing the impacts of raw material surcharge from operating margin provides a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period, thereby permitting management to evaluate performance and investors to make decisions based on the ongoing operations of the Company. In addition, management believes that excluding the impact of pension EID, which may be volatile due to changes in the financial markets, is helpful in analyzing the true operating performance of the Company. Management believes that removing the impact of restructuring and asset impairment charges, goodwill impairment, excess inventory write-down and other special items is helpful in analyzing the operating performance of the Company, as these costs are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s board of directors and others. 22 Q4-15Q3-16 Q4-16FY15FY16 Net sales Less: surcharge revenue Net Sales Excluding Surcharge Operating income (loss) Pension EID Operating Income (Loss) Excluding Pension EID 558.0 95.0 456.3 53.9 457.7 52.0 2,226.7 414.9 1,813.4 240.8 463.0 39.5 2.4 402.4 (24.3) 4.8 405.7 29.2 4.8 1,811.8 111.5 9.4 1,572.6 51.6 19.3 41.9 (19.5) 34.0 120.9 70.9 Excess inventory write-down Restructuring and asset impairment charges Goodwill impairment Consulting costs Special Items Operating Income Excluding Surcharge, Pension EID and Special Items - 3.7 - 2.6 22.5 17.6 12.5 2.1 - - - 2.1 - 29.1 - 5.1 22.5 18.0 12.5 9.3 6.3 48.2 54.7 35.2 2.1 36.1 34.2 155.1 62.3 133.2 Operating Margin 7.1% -5.3% 6.4% 5.0% 2.8% Operating Margin Excluding Surcharge, Pension EID and Special Items 10.4% 8.7% 8.9% 8.6% 8.5%
