Non-GAAP Measures Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, other financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The company’s methods of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies for these or similar non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, detailed reconciliations between the company’s GAAP and non-GAAP financial results were posted, by incorporation within this presentation, on the company’s Investor Relations website at http://coopertire.com/investors.aspx on the day the company’s operating and financial results were announced for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and management presented certain non-GAAP financial measures during a conference call with analysts and investors. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in the company’s earnings releases and annual and quarterly SEC filings. 9


 
Non-GAAP Measures Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) Management is using non-GAAP financial measures in this document because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of the company’s performance. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company’s financial and operating performance. The company defines ROIC as the trailing four quarters’ after tax operating profit, exclusive of certain items affecting comparability of results from period to period and utilizing the company’s adjusted effective tax rate, divided by the total invested capital, which is the average of ending debt and equity for the last five quarters. The company believes ROIC is a useful measure of how effectively the company uses capital to generate profits. Calculation of Return on Invested Capital April 1, 2018 – March 31, 2019 (millions USD) Adjusted (Non-GAAP) operating profit $ 199 Adjusted (Non-GAAP) effective tax rate 24.4% Income tax expense on operating profit 49 Adjusted operating profit after taxes $ 150 Total invested capital $ 1,542 Return on invested capital 9.8% 10 Amounts may not add due to rounding.
