26 Third Quarter 2008 Results ($ in thousands) (1) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash asset and goodwill impairment write-offs, and non-cash losses on sale-leaseback of property and equipment. Lease expense and non-recurring charges are included in Adjusted EBITDA and include both cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring and integration expenses. In evaluating our business, management considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key indicator of financial operating performance and as a measure of cash generating capability. Management believes this measure is useful as an analytical indicator of leverage capacity and debt servicing ability, and uses it to measure financial performance as well as for planning purposes. However, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an indicator of operating performance. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies. 2008 2007 Change 2008 2007 Change Net Sales Packaging Systems 58,520 $ 51,770 $ 13.0% 170,500 $ 162,220 $ 5.1% Energy Products 55,430 40,330 37.4% 157,390 122,930 28.0% Industrial Specialties 59,250 51,030 16.1% 168,930 154,470 9.4% RV & Trailer Products 41,970 45,940 -8.6% 142,370 152,420 -6.6% Recreational Accessories 61,730 69,580 -11.3% 214,350 238,720 -10.2% Net sales from continuing operations 276,900 $ 258,650 $ 7.1% 853,540 $ 830,760 $ 2.7% Operating Profit Packaging Systems 8,670 $ 8,110 $ 6.9% 26,700 $ 27,930 $ -4.4% Energy Products 8,170 4,860 68.1% 24,670 16,930 45.7% Industrial Specialties 12,110 9,930 22.0% 34,750 32,370 7.4% RV & Trailer Products 1,300 4,270 -69.6% 6,110 16,740 -63.5% Recreational Accessories 2,700 4,920 -45.1% 11,820 17,420 -32.1% Corporate expenses and management fees (5,060) (6,610) -23.4% (18,200) (33,240) -45.2% Operating profit from continuing operations 27,890 $ 25,480 $ 9.5% 85,850 $ 78,150 $ 9.9% % Margin 10.1% 9.9% 2.0% 10.1% 9.4% 7.4% Adjusted EBITDA(1) Packaging Systems 12,580 $ 11,300 $ 11.3% 38,250 $ 37,690 $ 1.5% Energy Products 8,850 5,670 56.1% 26,670 19,030 40.1% Industrial Specialties 13,590 11,550 17.7% 39,190 36,050 8.7% RV & Trailer Products 3,440 6,480 -46.9% 11,910 22,840 -47.9% Recreational Accessories 5,120 7,710 -33.6% 19,030 25,130 -24.3% Segment Adjusted EBITDA 43,580 42,710 2.0% 135,050 140,740 -4.0% % Margin 15.7% 16.5% -4.8% 15.8% 16.9% -6.5% Corporate expenses, management fees and other (5,470) (7,580) -27.8% (19,910) (35,810) -44.4% Adjusted EBITDA (1) from continuing operations 38,110 $ 35,130 $ 8.5% 115,140 $ 104,930 $ 9.7% % Margin 13.8% 13.6% 1.5% 13.5% 12.6% 7.1% Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,
