2 Safe Harbor & SEC Regulation G Safe Harbor Statements made in the course of this presentation that state the company s or management s hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of Actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Additional information about forward-looking statements and factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Non-GAAP Information - This presentation includes non-gaap financial measures, including net sales less excise taxes, remaining gross profit, free cash flow and adjusted earnings, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) after certain items. These measures are classified as non-gaap financial measures by the SEC and may be different from non-gaap measures used by other companies. We believe these non-gaap financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and allow investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by our management. EBITDA is also among the primary measures used externally by our investors, analysts and peers in our industry for purposes of valuation and comparing our results to other companies in our industry. Our management uses net sales less excise taxes and remaining gross profit to separate changes in sales and profitability due to actual sales and other changes in core operations from the effects of increases in excise taxes, LIFO accounting, inventory holding profits and certain other items. Our presentation of this information is not intended to be considered in isolation, and these non-gaap measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-gaap financial measures to the most comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in the appendix to this presentation. 2
