1 Results for year ended December 31, 2011 includes $2.4 million of costs related to the early extinguishment of debt, results for the year
ended December 31, 2012, include a supplemental executive pension plan settlement charge of $3.5 million and costs related to the
early extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million, results for the year ended December 31, 2013, include a supplemental executive pension plan
settlement charge of $0.2 million and costs related to the early extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million .
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.
23
Statements in this presentation which are not statements of historical fact are “forward-looking
statements” within the “safe harbor”' provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations
and assumptions deemed reasonable by, Neenah Paper, Inc. at the time this presentation was
made. Although Neenah Paper believes that the assumptions underlying such statements are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that they will be attained. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from expectations include the risks detailed in the section “Risk Factors” in
the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and SEC filings.
In addition, the company may use certain figures in this presentation that include 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 would be included as an appendix to this presentation and posted on the company’s
web site at www.neenah.com

  • 23. 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. 23
  • 24. Statements in this presentation which are not statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” within the “safe harbor”' provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by, Neenah Paper, Inc. at the time this presentation was made. Although Neenah Paper believes that the assumptions underlying such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that they will be attained. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include the risks detailed in the section “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and SEC filings. In addition, the company may use certain figures in this presentation that include 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 would be included as an appendix to this presentation and posted on the company’s web site at www.neenah.com 24
