Presentation notes

• Note 1: Company estimates

• Note 2: Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margins, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted

DEPS are financial measures that are not in accordance with US GAAP. Adjusted Operating Income,

Adjusted Operating Margins and Adjusted DEPS exclude the impact of expenses incurred for profit

improvement initiatives, non-recurring items and impairment charges.

Adjusted net income is net income excluding non-cash impairment charges, net of related changes in

deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Gardner Denver believes the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted

Operating Margins, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted DEPS provide important supplemental

information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in

assessing its results of operations. Gardner Denver believes excluding the specified items from the

aforementioned financial measures provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding prior

year periods and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is

consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, provides management

with a more relevant measurement of operating performance, and is more useful in assessing

management performance.
