21. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow as presented in these slides, are supplemental measures
of our performance, and Net Debt, as presented in these slides, is a supplemental measure of our
financial position. In each case, these measures are not required by, or presented in accordance
with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (‘‘GAAP’’). EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not measurements of our financial performance or financial position
under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net sales, net income (loss), operating
income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to
cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Adjusted EBITDA consists of operating income plus depreciation, amortization and stock-based
compensation expense. We also exclude acquisition-related costs, gain (loss) on sale of fixed assets,
SERP settlement charge and costs related to early retirement of debt, as these amounts are not
considered as part of usual business operations. Our management considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
and Free Cash Flow to be measurements of performance which provide useful information to both
management and investors. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not
calculated identically by all companies, our measurements of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free
Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. All
amounts in USD unless otherwise noted.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, as presented herein, are non-GAAP financial measures
as defined by SEC regulations. As required by those regulations, a reconciliation of these measures
to what management believes are the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included as an
appendix to this presentation.

These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations

financial measures as defined by SEC regulations. As required by those regulations, a reconciliation
