Forward Looking Statements & Non-GAAP Measures
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this presentation constitute "forward-looking" statements, which include any statements related to the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"),
the Freshpet Kitchens Expansion, our net sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance and the Company's general operating and economic environment. These
statements are based on management's current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future
results. These forward-looking statements are only predictions, not historical fact, and involve certain risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions. Actual
results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking
statements. While Freshpet believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is
impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from forward-looking statements made herein including, most prominently, the risks discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's latest
annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking statements are
made only as of the date of this presentation. Freshpet undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement because of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should
be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Measures
Freshpet uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted
Gross Profit as a % of net sales (Adjusted Gross Margin), Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted SG&A as a % of net sales. These non-GAAP financial measures should be
considered as supplements to GAAP reported measures, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, GAAP measures and may not be
comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.
Freshpet defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense, and Adjusted EBITDA as
EBITDA plus net income (loss) on equity method investment, plant start-up expense, non-cash share-based compensation, launch expense, fees related to
equity offerings of our common stock, implementation and other costs associated with the implementation of an ERP system, and other expenses, including
loss on disposal of equipment and COVID-19 expenses.
