Disclaimer
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA exclude
asbestos liability and defense cost (income) and asbestos coverage litigation expense, certain legacy legal
charges, certain due diligence costs, certain severance and asset impairment charges as well as one time initial
public offering-related costs to the extent they impact the periods presented. Adjusted selling, general and
administrative expenses exclude severance and asset impairment costs, certain legacy legal charges and
certain due diligence costs to the extent they impact the periods presented. Adjusted net income also reflects
interest expense as if the initial public offering (IPO) had occurred at the beginning of 2007 and presents income
taxes at an effective tax rate of 32% in 2009 and 34% in 2008. Adjusted net income per share in 2008 assumes
the 44,006,026 shares outstanding at the closing of the IPO to be outstanding since January 1, 2007. Projected
adjusted net income per share excludes asbestos coverage litigation, asbestos liability and defense costs and
severance and asset impairment costs. Organic sales growth and organic order growth (decline) exclude the
impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax in comparing
its operating performance on a consistent basis because, among other things, they remove the impact of
changes in our capital structure and asset base, non-recurring items such as IPO-related costs, legacy asbestos
issues (except in the case of EBITDA) and items outside the control of its operating management team.
Sales and order information by end market are estimates. We periodically update our customer groupings in
order to refine these estimates. During 2008, reclassifications of previously reported amounts were made to
conform to current period presentation. No changes have been made to total sales or orders.
