Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. We report our financial results in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and also communicate with investors using certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement presentation of our financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Based upon feedback from investors and financial analysts, we believe that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures we provide are useful to their assessment of our performance and operating trends, as well as liquidity. In accordance with Regulation G, reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, including limitations associated with these non-GAAP financial measures, are provided in Appendix C of this document.

Progress vs. Long-Term Sustainability Targets

In 2015, we set out to reach eight sustainability goals by 2025 and we have since made steady progress toward nearly all of them. Here are some highlights:

2025 Goals

We will reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 3% year-over-year, with at least a 26% reduction compared to our 2015 baseline.

We will source 100% certified paper, of which at least 70% will be Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC)-certified.

Our operations will be 95% landfill-free, with 75% of our waste repurposed.

We will maintain world class safety and engagement scores.

We will cultivate a diverse workforce with 40% of leadership positions filled by women.

2019 Progress

As of September 30, 2019, we reduced emissions by more than 30% against our baseline.

Over 88% of our paper is certified. Close to 79% of our face paper is FSC-certified.

As of November 2019, 94% of waste from our operations was diverted from landfills and we recycled 65% of our waste.

We achieved a world-class Recordable Incident Rate of 0.23. We achieved a first-rate82% employee engagement score.

34% of our manager level and above positions were filled by women, up from 27% in 2015.

Key Cost Saving Initiatives (updated July 27, 2020)

  • Continuing to execute long-term, strategic restructuring plans, reflecting our relentless focus on productivity
  • Temporary sources of cost savings to weather the downturn:
    • Short-termbelt-tightening actions (travel reduction, no trade shows, etc.)
    • Actions focused on businesses experiencing significant decline in demand:
      • Temporary production shutdowns
      • Overtime / temp reductions
      • Shift reductions / furloughs, including payroll costs covered by government incentives outside the
        US
      • Salary increase delay / headcount freeze
    • Incentive compensation

Anticipate savings from restructuring actions, net of transition costs, of $60 mil. to $70 mil.... carryover savings

of ~$70 mil. anticipated for 2021 (up ~$10 mil. since April outlook for both 2020 and 2021)

Targeting net temporary savings vs. 2019 of ~$150 mil. in 2020, the vast majority of which would be expected to be a headwind as markets recover; over half of FY targeted temporary savings have been realized in the first half of the year (largely in Q2)

  • Maintaining dividend rate; continued temporary pause on share repurchases in Q2

29 Credit Suisse Basic Materials Conference September 16, 2020

2020 Outlook (updated July 27, 2020)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Materials Conference September 16, 2020

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. We report our financial results in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and also communicate with investors using certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement presentation of our financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Based upon feedback from investors and financial analysts, we believe that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures we provide are useful to their assessment of our performance and operating trends, as well as liquidity.

Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain events, activities or decisions. The accounting effects of these events, activities or decisions, which are included in the GAAP financial measures, may make it difficult to assess our underlying performance in a single period. By excluding the accounting effects, positive or negative, of certain items (e.g., restructuring charges, legal settlements, certain effects of strategic transactions and related costs, losses from debt extinguishments, gains or losses from curtailment or settlement of pension obligations, gains or losses on sales of certain assets, and other items), we believe that we are providing meaningful supplemental information that facilitates an understanding of our core operating results and liquidity measures. While some of the items we exclude from GAAP financial measures recur, they tend to be disparate in amount, frequency, or timing.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate trends in our underlying performance, as well as to facilitate comparison to the results of competitors for a single period.We use the following non-GAAPfinancial measures in this presentation:

  • Sales change ex. currency refers to the increase or decrease in net sales excluding the estimated impact of foreign currency translation, and, where applicable, currency adjustment for transitional reporting of highly inflationary economies (Argentina) and reclassification of sales between segments. The estimated impact of foreign currency translation is calculated on a constant currency basis, with prior period results translated at current period average exchange rates to exclude the effect of currency fluctuations.
  • Organic sales change refers to sales change ex. currency, excluding the estimated impact of product line exits, acquisitions and divestitures, and, where applicable, the extra week in our fiscal year.

We believe that sales change ex. currency and organic sales change assist investors in evaluating the sales change from the ongoing activities of our businesses and enhance their ability to evaluate our results from period to period.

  • Adjusted operating income refers to income before taxes, interest expense, other non-operating expense, and other expense, net.
  • Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income before interest expense, other non-operating expense, taxes, equity method investment losses, other expense, net, and depreciation and amortization.
  • Adjusted operating margin refers to adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin refers to adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
  • Adjusted tax rate refers to the projected full-year GAAP tax rate, adjusted to exclude certain unusual or infrequent events that are expected to significantly impact that rate, such as our U.S. pension plan termination, effects of certain discrete tax planning actions, impacts related to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"), where applicable, and other items.
  • Adjusted net income refers to income before taxes, tax-effected at the adjusted tax rate, and adjusted for tax-effected restructuring charges and other items.
  • Adjusted net income per common share, assuming dilution (adjusted EPS) refers to adjusted net income divided by weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming dilution.

We believe that adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS assist investors in understanding our core operating trends and comparing our results with those of our competitors.

  • Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio refers to total debt (including finance leases) less cash and cash equivalents, divided by adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio assists investors in assessing our leverage position.
  • Return on total capital (ROTC) refers to income from continuing operations excluding the expense and tax benefit of debt financing divided by the average of beginning and ending invested capital. Adjusted ROTC refers to ROTC adjusted for the impact of the TCJA and pension plan settlements. We believe that ROTC and adjusted ROTC assist investors in understanding our ability to generate returns from our capital.
  • Free cash flow refers to cash flow provided by operating activities, less payments for property, plant and equipment, software and other deferred charges, plus proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, plus (minus) net proceeds from insurance and sales (purchases) of investments. Free cash flow is also adjusted for, where applicable, the cash contributions related to the termination of our U.S. pension plan. We believe that free cash flow assists investors by showing the amount of cash we have available for debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases, and acquisitions.

Return on Total Capital (ROTC)

  1. "Provision for income taxes" for the fourth quarter of 2017 includes the estimated impact of TCJA enacted in the U.S. on December 22, 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we finalized our provisional amounts as defined under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 related to TCJA.
  2. Tax benefits resulting from the deduction of the third quarter 2018 pension contributions on our 2017 U.S. income tax return.
  3. Interest expense, net of tax benefit for 2019, based on our GAAP tax rate of -22.7%, is not meaningful; Applying the adjusted tax rate of 24.6% removes the benefit of the negative tax rate from pension plan settlements and discrete foreign tax structuring and planning transactions.
