FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than
statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations and projections relating to
our announced transaction with Ritter as well as our financial condition, results of
operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. These statements may be
preceded by, followed by or include the words "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"expect," "forecast," "intend," "likely," "outlook," "plan," "potential," "projection," "continue,"
"goal," "objective," "opportunity," "near-term," "long-term," "assumption," "project,"
"guidance," "target," "trend," "seek," "can," "could," "may," "should," "would," "will," the
negatives thereof and other words and terms of similar meaning.
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions;
they are not guarantees of performance. You should not place undue reliance on these
statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations
and projections about future events. Although we believe that our assumptions made in
connection with the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that
the assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. Factors that could contribute to
these risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the factors
described in "Risk Factors" in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All forward-looking
statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. In addition, all forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date of this presentation. We undertake no obligations to update or
revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise other than as required under the federal securities laws.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To evaluate our performance, we monitor a number of key indicators at the consolidated
level and, in certain cases, at the segment level. As appropriate, we supplement our results
of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measurements that are used by
management, and which we believe are useful to investors, as supplemental operational
measurements to evaluate our financial performance. These measurements should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may
include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measurements, and
such measurements may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by
other companies. Rather, these measurements should be considered as an additional way
of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our
business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements
in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measurement. See "Use of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in our press release issued today.
A quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP information to the
corresponding GAAP information is not provided because the GAAP measures that are
excluded are difficult to predict and are primarily dependent on future uncertainties. Items
with future uncertainties include the timing and cost of future restructuring activities,
charges related to the early retirement of debt, changes in tax rates and other non-
recurring items.
