Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation includes forward-looking statements, as defined by the Securities and Exchange

Commission. Management’s projections and expectations are subject to a number of risks and

uncertainties that could cause actual performance to differ materially from those predicted or implied.

These statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the company does not intend to update or

otherwise revise the forward-looking information to reflect actual results of operations, changes in

financial condition, changes in estimates, expectations or assumptions, changes in general economic or

industry conditions or other circumstances arising and/or existing since the preparation of this

presentation or to reflect the occurrence of any unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements in

this presentation do not include the potential impact of any acquisitions or divestitures that may be

announced and/or completed after the date hereof. Information about the factors that could affect future

performance

can

found

recent

SEC

filings,

website

This presentation includes certain metrics presented on a non-GAAP basis, including non-GAAP adjusted

EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted diluted

EPS, and non-GAAP Free Cash Flow. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, which exclude

amortization of intangibles, stock based compensation, and certain one-time or non-cash impacts to our

results, all net of taxes, provide useful information regarding normalized trends relating to the company’s

financial condition and results of operations. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their closest

comparable GAAP measure are included in the appendix of this presentation.
