Forward-looking statements, by their nature, address matters that are uncertain and involve risks because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from our expected results and from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. A more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our ability to achieve the projected performance is included in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” sections of our reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements beyond what is required under applicable securities law.

All amounts throughout this presentation are in $ millions expect earnings per share or if otherwise noted. Figures may not add due to rounding. When reporting our financial results within this presentation, we make several adjustments. Management uses the non-GAAP measures below in managing the business and believes the adjustments provide meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods. Basis of Presentation Explanation We report in comparable dollars to remove the effects of currency translation on the P&L. The budgeted exchange rate for 2017 is used for all currency translations in 2017 and prior years. Guidance is presented using the 2017 budgeted exchange rate for the year. We remove the impact of discrete expenses and income. Examples include plant closures, restructuring actions, separation costs and other large unusual items. We also adjust for our U.S. pension plan expense(1). Taxes for adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS are calculated using an expected long term tax rate. Results throughout this presentation are presented on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted. U.S. pension expense represents the actuarial net periodic benefit cost expected to be recorded as a component of operating income. For all periods presented, we were not required and did not make cash contributions to our U.S. Retirement Income Plan based on guidelines established by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, nor do we expect to make cash contributions to the plan in 2017.

Slide 18

Additional Comments The negative cash balance in discounted operations on the balance sheet on slide 7 reflects approximately $76 million in cash held by certain EMEA and Pacific Rim entities offset by approximately $89 million of outstanding balances due to AWI from certain EMEA and Pacific Rim entities in our international cash pool. The outstanding balances due to AWI will be converted to equity prior to the transaction closing. Cash for continuing operations on the balance sheet on slide 7 reflects Americas cash only. As a result of this transaction, we no longer believe that foreign unremitted earnings will be permanently invested outside of the U.S. Prior to closing the transaction we intend to repatriate most of this cash which will be subject to U.S. income and/or foreign withholding taxes. The estimated tax impact of repatriation is included in the approximately $250 million of net cash expected from this transaction. Historical WAVE equity earnings and our investment in WAVE related to EMEA and the Pacific Rim will NOT be moved to discontinued operations in accordance with US GAAP rules.
