Non-GAAP Financial Metrics:
This Press Release includesnon-GAAP financial measures for OSW which do not conform to SEC RegulationS-X in that it includes financial information (EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA,after-tax free cash flow and margin, Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income) not derived in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, such information and data will be adjusted and presented differently in theS-4 and Haymaker’s proxy statement to be filed with the SEC to solicit stockholder approval of the proposed transaction. OSW believe that the presentation ofnon-GAAP measures provides information that is useful
8
to investors as it indicates more clearly the ability of OSW to meet capital expenditure and working capital requirements and provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. Investors should review OSW’s audited and interim financial statements, which will be presented in theS-4 and Haymaker’s proxy statement to be filed with the SEC, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate their respective businesses. Other companies may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,after-tax free cash flow and margin, Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income, and othernon-GAAP measures differently, and therefore OSW’s respective EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,after-tax free cash flow and margin, and othernon-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
