Non-GAAP Financial Information CECO is providing the non-GAAP historical financial measures in this presentation, as the Company believes that these figures are helpful in allowing individuals to better assess the ongoing nature of CECO’s core operations. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is a numerical measure of a company's historical financial performance that excludes amounts that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in the GAAP statement of operations. Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non- GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share, as we present them in the financial data included in this presentation, have been adjusted to exclude the effects of expenses related to property, plant, and equipment valuation adjustments, acquisition and integration expense activities including retention, legal, accounting, banking, amortization and earnout expenses, the impact of foreign currency remeasurement and the associated tax benefit of these charges. Management believes that these items are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations and their exclusion provides individuals with additional information to compare the Company's results over multiple periods. Additionally, management utilizes this information to evaluate its ongoing financial performance. Our financial statements may continue to be affected by items similar to those excluded in the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that all such costs are unusual or infrequent. Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non- GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted shares are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of CECO’s results as reported under GAAP. In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share stated in the tables above are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Free cash flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since it does not take into account debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP Additionally, CECO cautions investors that the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
