Additional factors that cause the Company's results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found under the section entitled "Risk Factors" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as such factors may be further updated from time to time in the Company's periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in the Company's filings with the SEC.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA This presentation includes market and industry data and forecasts that we have derived from independent consultant reports, publicly available information, various industry publications, other published industry sources as well as our internal data and estimates. Although we believe that the third-party sources we referred to are reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified such information. In addition, some market, ranking and industry data are also based on our good faith estimates, which are derived from management's knowledge of our industry as well as third party sources. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which management believes are useful to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the Appendix of this presentation and our earnings release filed with the SEC and posted on our website at investors.gates.com for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. ROUNDING ADJUSTMENTS Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this presentation have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables or charts may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them, and figures expressed as percentages in the text may not total 100% or, as applicable, when aggregated, may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the percentages that precede them.
