BUSINESS UPDATE

JULY 2022

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information contained in this presentation includes statements based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include statements regarding the company's anticipated financial and operating performance, relate to future events and expectations and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to (i) effectiveness of management's strategies and decisions, including strategic investments, countermeasures to address operational and supply chain challenges and the execution of those strategies, (ii) the successful integration of the acquired operations and technologies, and (iii) general economic and business conditions, including the impact of extraordinary external events, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, and their collateral consequences. The company cautions that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and involve significant risks and uncertainties and actual events may vary materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. For a summary of specific risk factors that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the company's most recent Forms 10-Q and 10-K. All information in this presentation is as of the date of the presentation. The company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the company's expectations except as may be required by law.

NON-RUN-RATE ITEMS

Non-run-rate items to us are items that, while they may recur from period to period, (1) are particularly material to results, (2) impact costs as a result of external market factors and (3) may not recur in future periods if the same level of underlying performance were to occur. These are part of our business and operating environment but are worthy of being highlighted for the benefit of the users of our financial statements.

Further, presentations including such terms as net income, operating income, or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") "before non-run-rate", "after adjustments" or "adjusted", are not intended to be (and should not be relied on) in lieu of the comparable caption under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to which it is reconciled. Such presentations are solely intended to provide greater clarity of the impact of certain material items on the GAAP measure and are not intended to imply such items should be excluded.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This information contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in the accompanying tables.

The non-GAAP financial measures used within this presentation are value added revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating income excluding non-run-rate items, adjusted net income and earnings per diluted share, excluding non-run-rate items and ratios related thereto. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends and believes this information to also be useful for investors. Reconciliations of certain forward looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are not provided because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted or provided without unreasonable effort.
