Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding the business operations of Darling and the industry in which it operates. These statements are identified by words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “should,” “estimate,” “continue,” and other words referring to events to occur in the future. These statements reflect Darling's current view of future events and are based on its assessment of, and are subject to, a variety of risks and uncertainties beyond its control, including business and economic conditions in its existing markets that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Other risks and uncertainties regarding Darling, its business and the industry in which it operates are referenced from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Darling is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This presentation also contains information about Darling’s adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which are not measures derived in accordance with GAAP and which exclude components that are important to understanding Darling’s financial performance. Investors should recognize that these non-GAAP measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flows or liquidity prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 2 |
