The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by the Company (such as in our other filings with the SEC or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the Company. Please refer to Part I . Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 K filed with the SEC on February 28,

2022 for additional information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

We intend our forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time of such statements and do not undertake or plan to update or revise them as more information becomes available or to reflect changes in expectations,

assumptions, or results. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this presentation or included in our other periodic reports filed with the SEC could materially and adversely impact our operations and our future financial results. Any public statements or disclosures

made by us following this presentation that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this presentation will be deemed to modify or supersede such outlook or other forward-looking

statements in or accompanying this presentation.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We provide in this presentation non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) comparable currency neutral sales; (ii) adjusted operating EBITDA; iii) comparable currency neutral adjusted operating EBITDA; iv) adjusted operating EBITDA margin; (v) adjusted free cash flow; and (vi) net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measures are defined below.

Currency Neutral metrics eliminate the effects that result from translating non-U.S. currencies to U.S. dollars. We calculate currency neutral numbers by translating current year invoiced sale amounts at the exchange rates used for the corresponding prior year period. We use currency neutral results in our analysis of subsidiary or segment performance. We also use currency neutral numbers when analyzing our performance against our competitors.

Adjusted operating EBITDA; adjusted operating EBITDA margin excludes depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, other income, net, restructuring and other charges and certain non-recurring items such as acquisition related costs, gains on sale of assets, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long lived assets, shareholder activism related costs, business divestiture costs, employee separation costs, Global Shared Services implementation costs, acquisition related costs, N&B inventory step-up costs, N&B transaction related costs and integration related costs.

Adjusted free cash flow includes expenses paid that management considers to be non-operating and/or one-time and significant in nature including transaction related expenses, integration related expenses, taxes paid related to business sales and extraordinary items, restructuring and restructuring related expenses, minus capital expenditures.

Net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA is the leverage ratio used in our credit agreements and defined as net debt (which is debt for borrowed money less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing 12-month credit adjusted

EBITDA.

Credit adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, specified items and non-cash items.

These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information regarding our underlying operating results and to allow for comparable year over year performance. Such information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. In discussing our historical and expected future results and financial condition, we believe it is meaningful for investors to be made aware of and to be assisted in a better understanding of, on a period-to-period comparable basis, financial amounts both including and excluding these identified items, as well as the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies' calculation of such metrics.

The Company cannot reconcile its expected Comparable Currency Neutral Sales, Adjusted Operating EBITDA, Comparable Currency Neutral Adjusted Operating EBITDA, Adjusted Operating EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Net Debt To Credit Adjusted EBITDA under "Consolidated Outlook" without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. These items include but are not limited to gains (losses) on sale of assets, shareholder activism related costs, business divestiture costs, employee separation costs, N&B inventory step-up costs, N&B transaction related costs, integration related costs and the impact of the merger with N&B.
