The information contained in the Presentation Materials is summary information that should be considered within the context of TETRA’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public announcements that TETRA may make by press release or otherwise from time to time. The Presentation Materials speak as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. While TETRA may elect to update the Presentation Materials in the future or reflect events and circumstances occurring or existing after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, TETRA specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company has included in the Presentation Materials statements regarding revenues, gross profits, net income and earnings per share that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” The Company has supplemented the guidance that it provides in accordance with GAAP included in the Presentation Materials with disclosures concerning market capitalization, enterprise value, net debt, EBITDA and net income plus DD&A, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The method the Company uses to produce these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used in the Presentation Materials are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and the Company’s reference to these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to the financial information and guidance that is prepared under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the financial information and guidance that are presented as consistent with GAAP. The Company’s management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial information internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company’s business, to make operating decisions and for planning and forecasting purposes. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest GAAP financial measures are included in the Financial Data Appendix to the Presentation Materials, and are posted in the Investor Relations section of TETRA’s website, http://www.tetratec.com.

The information furnished in Item 7.01, Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
