All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward - looking statements .

Forward - looking statements contained in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements about (i) growth of the wind energy market and our addressable market ; (ii) the potential impact of GE’s acquisition of LM Wind Power upon our business ; (iii) our future financial performance, including our net sales, cost of goods sold, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses, ability to generate positive cash flow, and ability to achieve or maintain profitability ; (iv) the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our liquidity needs ; (v) our ability to attract and retain customers for our products, and to optimize product pricing ; (vi) competition from other wind blade manufacturers ; (vii) the discovery of defects in our products ; (viii) our ability to successfully expand in our existing markets and into new international markets ; (ix) worldwide economic conditions and their impact on customer demand ; (x) our ability to effectively manage our growth strategy and future expenses ; (xi) our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property ; (xii) our ability to comply with existing, modified or new laws and regulations applying to our business ; and (xiii) the attraction and retention of qualified employees and key personnel . These forward - looking statements are only predictions . These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to materially differ from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward - looking statements . Because forward - looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward - looking statements as guarantees of future events . Further information on the factors, risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results and the forward - looking statements in this presentation are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will be included in subsequent periodic and current reports we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2016 . The forward - looking statements in this presentation represent our views as of the date of this presentation . We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change . However, while we may elect to update these forward - looking statements at some point in the future, we undertake no obligation to update any forward - looking statement to reflect events or developments after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable law . You should, therefore, not rely on these forward - looking statements as representing our views as of any date after the date of this presentation . Our forward - looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make . This presentation includes unaudited non - GAAP financial measures including total billings , EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA , net debt and free cash flow .

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any share - based compensation expense, plus or minus any gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement . We define net debt as the total principal amount of debt outstanding less unrestricted cash and equivalents . We define free cash flow as net cash flow generated from operating activities less capital expenditures . We present non - GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors . Non - GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies . The presentation of non - GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP . See the appendix for the reconciliations of certain non - GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures .
