Regulation G ndash GAAP ReconciliationAppendix P-2

Non GAAP Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Sales Percentage

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) However the Companys management believesthat certain non-GAAP financial measures may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results inprior operating periods Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of thebusiness because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain non-operational non-recurring or intermittently recurring items thatimpact the overall comparability See the table below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for quarterlyadjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to and not as an alternative for the Companys reportedresults prepared in accordance with GAAP
