Safe Harbor and Non-GAAP Financial Measures Safe Harbor This presentation contains forward-looking statements subject to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements are based on management’s assumptions regarding business conditions, and actual results may be materially different.  Risks and uncertainties inherent in these assumptions include, but are not limited to difficulties in integrating the recently acquired business of Royal Group, Inc., uncertainties relating to Royal Group’s business and liabilities, uncertainties regarding asset sales, potential sale and leaseback arrangements, synergies, operating efficiencies and competitive conditions, future global economic conditions, economic conditions in the industries to which our products are sold, industry production capacity, raw materials and energy costs and other factors discussed in the Securities and Exchange Commission filings of Georgia Gulf Corporation, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Non-GAAP Measures EBITDA is not a recognized measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that, in addition to net income, EBITDA is a useful supplementary measure as it provides investors with an indication of cash available for distribution prior to debt service, capital expenditures, cash income taxes, minority interest and changes in working capital. Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to (i) net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance or (ii) cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity and cash flow. The Company’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from other companies and, accordingly, the Company’s EBITDA may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. Because Georgia Gulf does not predict special items that might occur in the future, and our analyses are developed at a level of detail different than that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures, Georgia Gulf does not provide reconciliations to GAAP of its forward-looking financial measures.
