This intense focus on playing to his strengths — and largely ignoring

everything else — lies at the heart of Buffett’s success. He once remarked:

“You have to stick within what I call your circle of competence. You have

to know what you understand and what you don’t understand. It’s

not terribly important how big the circle is. But it’s terribly important that you

know where the perimeter is.”

- Warren Buffett

The “shield” carries with it positive brand equity - the brand is memorable, easily recognizable, and known for its superiority in quality and reliability.

Similar to Coca-Cola, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Google, the formula for WD-40 Multi-Use Product is a trade secret so protected that there was never

a patent filed for it.

• Loss of focus – not executing against our strategic drivers

• Overwhelming complexity of operating a business that operates in 176 countries and 62 trade channels

• Misaligned compensation – moving away from ‘pay for performance’

• Not being deliberate and focused – deviating away from best-in-class products that generate positive lasting memories for our end-users

• Developing products that need more support than our business model allows

• Targeting end-users that don’t fit our existing distribution model

• Global volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity

(1) This presentation contains certain non-GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) measures, that ourmanagement believes provide our stockholders with additional insights into WD-40 Company’s results of operations and how it runs its business. Ourmanagement uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to establish financial goals and to gain an understanding of the comparative performanceof the Company from year to year or quarter to quarter. The non-GAAP measures referenced in this presentation, which include EBITDA (earnings beforeinterest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and the cost of doing business, are supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolationor as alternatives to net income, income from operations or other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP as indicators of the Company’sperformance or operations. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the WD-40 Company financials as prepared under GAAP are asfollows:

Note: Percentages may not aggregate to EBITDA percentage due to rounding and because amounts recorded in other income (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations are not included as an adjustment to earnings in the Company’s EBITDA calculation.
