Forward-Looking Statements
This Presentation includes and incorporates by reference "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements that are not historical facts are
"forward-looking statements." The words "estimate," "project," "intend," "expect," "believe,"
"should," "anticipate," "hope," "optimistic," "plan," "outlook," "should," "could," "may" and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those identified below, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The following
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated:
adverse economic conditions; the impact of competitive products and pricing; product demand
and acceptance risks; raw material and other increased costs; raw materials availability;
employee relations; ability to maintain workforce by hiring trained employees; labor efficiencies;
customer delays or difficulties in the production of products; new fracking regulations; a
prolonged decrease in oil and nickel prices; unforeseen delays in completing the integrations of
acquisitions; risks associated with mergers, acquisitions, dispositions and other expansion
activities; financial stability of our customers; environmental issues; unavailability of debt
financing on acceptable terms and exposure to increased market interest rate risk; inability to
comply with covenants and ratios required by our debt financing arrangements; ability to
weather an economic downturn; loss of consumer or investor confidence and other risks
detailed from time-to-time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The
Company assumes no obligation to update the information included in this release.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Statements included in this Presentation include non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles) measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables which provide a
reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP measures and exclude
discontinued operations, goodwill impairments, Inventory Pricing Change, inventory cost adjustments,
aged inventory adjustment, stock option / grant costs, acquisition costs, shelf registration costs, earn-
out adjustments, Manufacturing Variances (See definition in Note 1, item c in the Synalloy
Comparative Analysis statement), gain on excess death benefit, all (gains) losses associated with the
Sale-Leaseback, casualty insurance gain and retention costs from net income. They also utilize a
constant effective tax rate to reflect tax neutral results.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and excludes discontinued operations, goodwill
impairments, interest expense, change in fair value of interest rate swap, income taxes, depreciation,
amortization, Inventory Pricing Change, inventory cost adjustments, aged inventory adjustment, stock
option / grant costs, acquisition costs, shelf registration costs, earn-out adjustments, Manufacturing
Variances, gain on excess death benefit, all (gains) losses associated with the Sale-Leaseback,
casualty insurance gain and retention costs from net income.
Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional useful information to allow
readers to compare the financial results between periods. Non-GAAP measures should not be
considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated
under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company's performance and financial condition as
reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial
condition of the Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors
should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results or
financial condition as reported under GAAP.
Throughout this presentation,
“EBITDA” means Adjusted EBITDA
as defined and reported by Synalloy
