Superior Plus Financial Measures and Projections
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this presentation, Superior has used the following terms ("Non-GAAP Financial Measures") that are not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") but are used by management to evaluate the
performance of Superior and its business: Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), Adjusted Operating Cash Flow ("AOCF") per share and Total Net Debt to
Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio. These measures may also be used by investors, financial institutions and credit rating agencies to assess Superior's performance and ability to service debt. Non-GAAP Financial
Measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Securities regulations require that Non-GAAP
Financial Measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their most comparable IFRS financial measures. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are calculated and disclosed on
a consistent basis from period to period. Specific items may only be relevant in certain periods. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in Superior's most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for a
discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures used by Superior and certain reconciliations to IFRS financial measures.
The intent of Non-GAAP Financial Measures is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts, and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not,
therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently. Investors should be
cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator
of Superior's performance. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are identified and defined as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per Share
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, losses (gains) on disposal of assets, finance expense, restructuring costs, transaction and other costs, and unrealized gains
(losses) on derivative financial instruments, and is adjusted for corporate costs and realized gains or losses on foreign exchange hedging contracts. Adjusted EBITDA is used by Superior and certain investors to assess
Superior's consolidated results and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net earnings before income taxes.
This presentation also includes Superior's pro forma Adjusted EBITDA guidance range for 2023, including separate guidance for the propane business and Certarus. The significant differences between this forward-
looking estimate of 2023 Adjusted EBITDA for Superior and its historical Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 are the inclusion of the estimated results from the operations of Certarus for the 2023 financial year, the estimated full
year contribution in 2023 from acquisitions that were completed by Superior late in the first quarter and in the second quarter of 2022 and expected stronger wholesale propane market fundamentals in the Western
United States. The significant differences between the forward-looking estimate of 2023 Adjusted EBITDA for Certarus and its historical Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 are an increase in the forecasted number of MSUS,
stable natural gas prices and increased demand for CNG, RNG and hydrogen. Readers should also refer to the "Forward-Looking Information" section above and the "Financial Outlook" sections of Superior's
management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 which provides further information with respect to the assumptions used to prepare Superior's estimated 2023 pro
forma Adjusted EBITDA.
Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio is defined as Adjusted EBITDA calculated on a 12-month trailing basis giving pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions adjusted to
the first day of the calculation period ("Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA"). Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is used by Superior to calculate its Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio.
To calculate the Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio, divide the sum of borrowings including deferred financing fees and lease liabilities reduced by cash and cash equivalents by Pro Forma Adjusted
EBITDA. Total Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio is used by Superior and certain investors to assess its ability to service debt.
