2 Forward-Looking Statements Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains statements concerning the company's, Longview's and the combined company's future results and performance that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, with respect to future prospects, developments, business strategies, closing of the acquisition, financing the acquisition, benefits and impacts of the acquisition (including cost savings, operational and other synergies and impacts on revenues, earnings, cash flow and funds from operations and funds available for distribution), capital structure, potential transactions involving WRECO or the structure of any such transaction (if any),dividend increases and harvests and export markets. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “expect” and “would” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, have been used in this presentation to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events of us, Longview and the combined company and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the company’s control. Many factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected including, without limitation, the effect of general economic conditions, including employment rates, housing starts, interest rate levels, availability of financing for home mortgages and strength of the U.S. dollar, market demand for our products, which is related to the strength of the various U.S. business segments and U.S. and international economic conditions, performance of our manufacturing operations, including maintenance requirements, the level of competition from domestic and foreign producers, the successful execution of our internal performance plans, including restructurings and cost reduction initiatives, raw material prices, energy prices, the effect of weather, the risk of loss from fires, floods, windstorms, hurricanes, pest infestation and other natural disasters, transportation costs, federal tax policies, the effect of forestry, land use, environmental and other governmental regulations, legal proceedings, performance of pension fund investments and related derivatives, the effect of timing of retirements and changes in market price of our common stock on charges for share-based compensation, changes in accounting principles and the other risk factors described under "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2013 and the matters described in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and our Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 17, 2013, in each case filed with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions and may not be accurate because of risks and uncertainties surrounding these assumptions. Factors listed above, as well as other factors, may cause actual results to differ significantly from these forward-looking statements. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by these forward-looking statements will occur. If any of the events occur, there is no guarantee what effect they will have on company operations or financial condition. The company will not update these forward-looking statements after the date of presentation. Nothing on our website is included or incorporated by reference herein. Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and FAD, designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America because management believes such measures are useful to investors. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the metrics of calculation. For a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to EBITDA and cash provided by operating activities to FAD, see the Appendix to this presentation. Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
