Many factors, including those discussed more fully elsewhere in this presentation and in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Harsco, particularly its latest annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as others, could cause results to differ materially from those stated.

Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations $ 3.01 $ 2.92 $ 1.66 $ 0.91 $ 1.31 $ 1.19

The Company’s management believes diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations excluding special items, a non-GAAP financial measure, is meaningful to investors because it provides an overall understanding of the Company’s historical and future prospects. Exclusion of special items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the Company’s core business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the Company’s performance. This measure should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, other information provided in accordance with GAAP.

Non-cash goodwill impairment charge in Harsco Infrastructure ($265.0 million pre-tax).

Charges resulting from the Company’s previously announced Fourth Quarter 2010 Harsco Infrastructure and 2011/2012 Restructuring Programs (Harsco Infrastructure 2010 $84.4 million pre-tax, 2011 $87.6 million pre-tax, 2012 $88.6 million pre- tax; Harsco Metals & Minerals 2011 $12.8 million pre-tax, 2012 $5.5 million pre-tax).

Plus proceeds from sales of assets (e) 17 26 23 22 17 32

Free Cash Flow $ 45 $ 142 $ 292 $ 242 $ 27 $ 60

The Company’s management believes that free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations less capital expenditures net of asset sales proceeds. It is important to note that free cash flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure. This measure should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, other information provided in accordance with GAAP.

Maintenance capital expenditures are necessary to sustain the Company’s current revenue streams and include contract renewals.

Growth capital expenditures, for which management has discretion as to amount, timing and geographic placement, expand the Company’s revenue base and create additional future cash flow.

Capital expenditures for strategic ventures represent the partner’s share of capital expenditures in certain ventures consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

Asset sales are a normal part of the business model, primarily for the Harsco Infrastructure and Harsco Metals & Minerals Segments. Amounts for 2011 and 2012 exclude proceeds received from assets sold under restructuring programs. Amounts for 2007 and 2009 exclude amounts related to the sale of the Company’s former Gas Technologies business group.

Adjusted return on invested capital 11.8% 10.6% 7.6% 4.8% 5.8% 5.4%

The Company’s management believes return on invested capital excluding special items, a non-GAAP financial measure, is meaningful to investors in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of the Company’s long-term capital investments. Exclusion of special items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the Company’s core business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the Company’s performance. This measure should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, other information provided in accordance with GAAP. The most common comparable GAAP measure is Return on Average Common Stockholders’ Equity.

The Company’s management believes operating income (loss) and operating margin excluding special items, which are non-GAAP financial measures, are meaningful to investors because they provide an overall understanding of the Company’s historical and future prospects. Exclusion of special items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the Company’s core business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the Company’s performance. This measure should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, other information provided in accordance with GAAP.
