Flexible cost structure and good execution

allowed for aggressive response to economic

downturn resulting in higher operating income

Improving markets and good performance

continue to drive favorable earnings and cash

generation, resulting in strong balance sheet

Growing industry -

Natural gas demand is expected to continue to grow at a pace faster than coal and

oil, and will be heavily weighted towards emerging economies, which is expected to drive demand for

Chart’s products.

Natural gas expansion -

U.S. natural gas processing is expected to rise due to the production of

unconventional gas.  World primary demand for natural gas expands on average by 1.4% per year

(2008-2035) with  the biggest increases in the Middle East, China and India. (Source: International Energy

Agency –

LNG growth leader -

“Global gas demand is likely to rise by 25%, while the use of LNG

is set to surge

by 40% by 2020.”

Dramatic increase in imported LNG in China has already begun and

is expected to accelerate, with China

aggressively investing in LNG infrastructure, including LNG transportation and storage equipment

China’s twelfth 5-year plan (2011 -

2015) mandates an increase of gas as a percentage of energy consumption

from less than 4% to over 8% (compared to over 20% for the U.S.)

China road transit authority expects to add 2 million new gas fueled vehicles, with 2/3 being LNG

Lack of pipeline infrastructure in China requires “virtual pipeline”

with LNG, and Chart D&S equipment (e.g.,

storage, transportation, etc.) can fill this gap

China LNG Demand Outlook

14

Natural gas penetration –

Increasing as a viable energy

source and transportation fuel due to its high energy density,

lower costs and low emissions

Broad product offering -

Chart provides products and

solutions for the full LNG value chain: LNG liquefiers,

transportation equipment, terminal storage equipment and

vehicle tanks for both on-road and off-road heavy duty

vehicles and marine applications

Favorable environment -

Energy bill initiatives in Congress

could significantly boost natural gas vehicle adoption in U.S.

and drive a multi-year build-out of LNG production, storage

and distribution infrastructure and creating additional market

opportunities for Chart

and Transportation Fuel

Historical Orders and Backlog

2011 Outlook

Global markets are expected to continue their recovery during 2011 with the return of significant project work in

the E&C business and continued growth in LNG-related orders in the D&S business

Received

an

NRU

(Nitrogen

Rejection

Unit)

order

in

excess

of

$90

million

in

first

quarter

2011.

We

remain

optimistic about additional large project opportunities in the E&C business

2011 net sales are expected to be in a range of $710 to $750 million and earnings of $1.50 to $1.70 per diluted

share.  Our EPS range includes approximately $0.20 per diluted share for anticipated restructuring charges for

the recently completed SeQual acquisition and trailing costs associated with the shutdown of the Plainfield,

Indiana facility acquired from Covidien.  Therefore, our adjusted EPS would be $1.70 to $1.90 per share.

The majority of these restructuring charges will occur in the first half of 2011, so second half earnings will be

much stronger than the first half.  In addition, first quarter is normally our weakest quarter of the year.
