Forward-looking statements include statements in this presentation regarding the acquisition of WIL Research, expectations regarding the timing of the closing of the acquisition, and Charles River s expectations with respect to the impact of WIL Research on the Company, its service offerings, client perception, revenue, revenue growth rates, earnings, financing, stock repurchase activity, share count, credit facility, interest rates, tax rates, and operating margin; WIL Research s final 2015 reported financial results; Charles River s projected future performance including revenue and earnings per share; Charles River s expected operational synergies; as well as Charles River s future growth in the area of safety assessment and contract development and manufacturing. Forward-looking statements are based on Charles River s current expectations and beliefs, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by the forward-looking statements. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the ability to successfully complete the acquisition of WIL Research. A further description of these risks, uncertainties, and other matters can be found in the Risk Factors detailed in Charles River's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on February 17, 2015, as well as other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Regulation G This presentation contains non-gaap financial measures, such as non-gaap earnings per diluted share, which exclude the amortization of intangible assets, certain third-party integration costs, certain costs associated with efficiency initiatives, and other charges related to our acquisitions and expenses associated with evaluating acquisitions. We exclude these items from the non-gaap financial measures because they are outside our normal operations. There are limitations in using non-gaap financial measures, as they are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different than non-gaap financial measures used by other companies. In particular, we believe that the inclusion of supplementary non-gaap financial measures in this presentation helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects without the effect of these often-one-time charges, and is consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to prior periods or forecasts. We believe that the financial impact of our acquisitions (and in certain cases, the evaluation of such acquisitions, whether or not ultimately consummated) is often large relative to our overall financial performance, which can adversely affect the comparability of our results on a period-to-period basis. In addition, certain activities, such as business acquisitions, happen irregularly and the underlying costs associated with such activities do not recur on a consistent basis. Non-GAAP results also allow investors to compare the Company s operations against the financial results of other companies in the industry who similarly provide non-gaap results. The non-gaap financial measures included in this presentation are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends to periodically assess the potential value of reporting non-gaap results consistent with applicable rules and regulations. Quiet Period Disclaimer The Company is presently in quiet period pending its fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 earnings and 2016 guidance release on February 11, As a result, the Company will not comment on financial performance for the fourth quarter of 2015 or guidance for

11 CDMO Platform Differentiates Portfolio and Provides Avenue for Growth Expertise in formulation design and development of oral drug dosages Adjacent capability that expands opportunities to partner with biopharma clients Supports small molecule formulation from discovery through clinical trials Specialized capabilities in high-potency compounds Key market drivers: Increased outsourcing trend expected to drive penetration higher from today s ~30% level Need to enhance efficiency and productivity of R&D spend Growth in drugs from small and mid-size biopharma companies lacking inhouse capabilities Increasing complexity of regulatory and compliance requirements Greater scrutiny by regulatory agencies Scalable platform in fragmented CDMO market that is expected to grow in the mid-to-high single digits for the next 5 years 11

12 WIL s Global Footprint Den Bosch / NL Ashland, OH Harrogate, UK 30% Biopharma / 70% Chemical 145,000 ft 2 80% Biopharma / 20% Chemical 325,000 ft 2 Client Services Lyon, FR Skokie, IL Fairfield, NJ Corporate Headquarters 95% Biopharma / 5% Chemical 195,000 ft 2 95% Biopharma / 5% Chemical 25,000 ft 2 Boothwyn, PA Hillsborough, NC Pathology 9,000 ft 2 100% Biopharma (CDMO) 43,000 ft 2 U.S. ~65% ROW ~35% Worldwide reach with ~1,300 employees and >700,000 ft 2 of capacity in US and Europe 12

13 Safety Assessment Opportunity Safety Assessment will be a significant opportunity for growth over the next 5 years At least 50% outsourced currently, expected to increase to 80% or more in the future Large biopharma continues to increase its utilization of outsourced services to leverage expertise and efficiencies that CROs offer Robust funding to virtual, small, and mid-size biotech, which require outsourced services ~$4B Outsourced Safety Assessment* Other CROs Charles River WIL Covance MPI Envigo Includes non-glp/glp SA services, bioanalysis and ag/ind chem services; market growth of ~7% CAGR* *Source: Wall Street research and management estimates. 13

14 Average In-Licensing Share of Major Biopharma Pipeline Rising* Large biopharma focusing less on who discovers the molecule and more on whether the molecule addresses a significant medical need Trend has funded many of the virtual, small, and mid-size biotech companies Have little or no infrastructure Rely almost exclusively on CROs like CRL Large biopharma s emphasis on early-stage R&D is driving: Industry capacity continuing to fill Improving industry pricing Share of Pipeline Supports CRL s continued growth through addition of services and capacity 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 25% 34% 37% 39% 41% 42% E * Parexel Biopharmaceutical R&D Statistical Sourcebook and Citeline, Inc. (Pharmaprojects/Pipeline). 14

15 Biotech Client Base WIL s primary client base is small and mid-size biotech One aspect of due diligence focused on assumptions of drivers of biotech outsourcing, sources for biotech funding, and impact on revenue if funding were to slow Large biopharma will continue to utilize biotech for discovery of new drugs Large biopharma has been leveraging biotech heavily since 2008 Has led to stronger and more productive pipelines Many of the drugs approved by the FDA in the last few years or currently in the pipeline are the products of large biopharma s collaboration with biotech We are very proud that CRL worked on 55% of the drugs approved by the FDA in 2014 We are respected for our scientific expertise and support we provide to clients Believe that acquisition of WIL will enhance our reputation 15

16 Biotech Funding Outlook Genomics/proteomics have come of age and are driving identification of new types of drugs, like immunotherapies, which are showing tremendous potential for curing disease Driving a steady increase in large pharma investment in biotech, as well as from capital markets and venture capital Biotech companies have a significant amount of cash on hand given the broad-based investment in the biotech sector Expect this cash to be invested over a minimum of 3 years, and likely longer Using VC funding as a proxy for the length of time it takes to get a drug to proof of concept suggests a period of 3-4 years Believe the horizon for large biopharma funding would likely be longer, and that contractual milestone payments would be made during that time 16

17 Combined Client Profile WIL acquisition aligns with CRL s strategy to build biotech client base and further diversifies client concentration WIL has low client concentration No single client represents more than 2.5% of WIL revenue Some CRL-WIL client overlap, as would be expected for similarly focused companies with a reputation for scientific expertise Two-thirds of WIL s YTD September 2015 revenue was generated from WIL clients that were either not CRL Safety Assessment (SA) clients or represented <$100K in CRL SA revenue WIL Client Profile Biotech 84% Global 14% Acad/Gov t 2% Biotech 50% Global 33% Acad/Gov t 17% Combined Pro Forma CRL Client Profile Note: Client profile is based on CRL s clients segments; percentages are based on YTD September 2015 revenue. 17

18 Disciplined M&A Strategy Delivering Compelling Financial Benefits Supported by CRL s Disciplined M&A Strategy Accretive on a non-gaap EPS basis in year one ROIC expected to meet or exceed cost of capital within 3-4 years Enhances organic growth opportunities Financial Impact Revenue Non-GAAP EPS accretion 2016E (1) ~$150M- $170M At least $ E ~$240M- $250M $0.45-$ Year Strategic Plan >10% revenue CAGR for combined CRL SA business Non-GAAP operating margin >20% (including WIL), due in part to benefits from efficiency initiatives and operational synergies Increased Shareholder Value (1) 2016 Partial-year contribution based on expected close in early 2Q16 18

19 Operational Synergies Implementation of operational synergies to begin in 2016 post-closing, with estimated benefits of ~$17M-$20M within 2 years of closing Operational synergies expected to be achieved through: Productivity and efficiency initiatives Optimize labor and capacity utilization Centralize certain services Procurement and insourcing synergies Expanded use of CRL s services and research models Leverage CRL s supplier relationships Corporate savings Reduction of duplicate corporate costs Leveraging CRL s productivity and efficiency expertise to achieve margin improvement goals 19
