Safe Harbor and Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain information discussed today constitutes forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those presented in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors including general economic conditions, weather, competitive conditions in the Company’s industries, both in the U.S. and internationally, and additional factors that are described in the Company’s publicly-filed documents, including its ’34 Act filings and the prospectuses prepared in connection with the Company’s offerings. Although the Company believes that the assumptions upon which the financial information in this presentation and its forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, it can give no assurances that these assumptions will prove to be accurate. This presentation contains references to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before the Company’s impairment charges and eliminations of equity earnings from to-be-acquired entities. Although EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe they are useful to an investor in evaluating the transactions discussed in this presentation. Reconciliations of the GAAP to non-GAAP measures may be found in the appendix of this presentation. 2
