SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT & NON-GAAP MEASURES 2 Statements in this presentation concerning the Company’s goals, strategies and expectations for business and financial results may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on current indicators and expectations. Any statement that is not of historical fact may be deemed “forward-looking”. Words such as “expect”, “believe”, “project”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “objective”, “goal”, “view” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management’s current views and assumptions of future events and financial performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many outside the Company’s control that could cause actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements. Such risks include: (1) Raw material availability, increases in raw material costs, or other production costs (2) Risks associated with our strategic growth initiatives or the failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of such initiatives (3) Unanticipated downturn in business relationships with customers or their purchases (4) Competitive pressures on sales and pricing (5) Changes in the markets for the Company’s business segments (6) Changes in trends and demands in the markets in which the Company competes (7) Unexpected failures at our manufacturing facilities (8) Future economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world (9) Inability of the Company to meet future capital requirements (10) Claims, litigation and regulatory actions against the Company (11) Changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company (12) Other risks as detailed in the Company’s 10-K and other reports filed with the Securities Exchange Commission Myers Industries, Inc. encourages investors to learn more about these risk factors. A detailed explanation of these factors is available in the Company’s publicly filed quarterly and annual reports, which can be found online at www.myersindustries.com and at the SEC.gov web site. The Company refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures throughout this presentation. Adjusted EPS, adjusted income per diluted share from continuing operations, adjusted operating income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and are intended to serve as a supplement to results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company believes that such information provides an additional measurement and consistent historical comparison of the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is available in the appendix of this presentation. Statements in this presentation speak only as of the date made. |
