SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
INTERTAPE POLYMER GROUP 2
Certain statements and information included in this presentation constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), which are made in reliance upon the protections provided by such legislation for forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this presentation, including statements regarding the Company’s protection from high input costs due to its “at will” contracts with customers, the Company’s focus on gross profit dollars rather than margin, the Company’s growth opportunities, including its 2022 financial goals, the Company's capital expenditures, including its anticipated cost and return expectations and additional related costs, the Company’s integration of its recent acquisitions, including the expected positive benefits from such acquisitions, the Company’s near-term growth drivers, the Company’s expected Adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion opportunities from acquisitions, and the end of the Company’s current investment cycle, along with the related effects of the end of such cycle, may constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections made by the Company's management. Words such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "continue," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "foresee," "believe," or "seek" or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements, by their nature, involve risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Such statements are also subject to assumptions concerning, among other things: business conditions and growth or declines in the Company's industry, the Company's customers' industries and the general economy; the anticipated benefits from the Company's manufacturing facility expansions, greenfield developments, manufacturing cost reduction programs and other restructuring efforts; the anticipated benefits from the Company’s acquisitions and partnerships; accounting adjustments; the anticipated benefits from the Company’s capital expenditures; the quality and market reception of the Company's products; the effective tax rate and income tax expenses; the Company's anticipated business strategies; risks and costs inherent in litigation; risks and costs inherent in the Company’s intellectual property; the Company’s ability to maintain and improve quality and customer service; the Company’s ability to retain, and adequately develop and incentivize, its management team and key employees; anticipated trends in the Company's business; anticipated cash flows from the Company’s operations; the Company’s flexibility to allocate capital as a result of the Notes Offering; availability of funds under the Company’s 2018 Credit Facility; the Company's ability to continue to control costs; the impact of raw material price fluctuations; movements in the prices of key inputs such as raw material, freight, energy and labor; government policies, including those specifically regarding the manufacturing industry, such as industrial licensing, environmental regulations, labor and safety regulations, import restrictions and duties, intellectual property laws, excise duties, sales taxes, and value added taxes; accidents and natural disasters; changes to accounting rules and standards; expected strategic and financial benefits from the Company’s ongoing capital investment and mergers and acquisitions programs; and other factors beyond the Company's control. The Company can give no assurance that these statements and expectations will prove to have been correct. Actual outcomes and results may, and often do, differ from what is expressed, implied or projected in such forward-looking statements, and such differences may be material. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.
For additional information regarding important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements and other risks and uncertainties, and the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements, you are encouraged to read "Item 3. Key Information - Risk Factors," "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects (Management's Discussion & Analysis)" and statements located elsewhere in the Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the other statements and factors contained in the Company's filings with the Canadian securities regulators and the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Each of these forward-looking statements speaks only as of the date of this presentation. The Company will not update these statements unless applicable securities laws require it to do so.
This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under applicable securities legislation, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio and Free Cash Flow. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they allow investors to make a more meaningful comparison between periods of the Company’s performance, underlying business trends and the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company further believes these measures may be useful in comparing its operating performance with the performance of other companies that may have different financing and capital structures, and tax rates. Adjusted EBITDA excludes costs that are not considered by management to be representative of the Company’s underlying core operating performance, including certain non-operating expenses, non-cash expenses and non-recurring expenses. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is used by management to set targets and is a metric that, among others, can be used by the Company’s Compensation Committee to establish performance bonus metrics and payout, and by the Company’s lenders and investors to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to service its debt, finance capital expenditures and acquisitions, and provide for the payment of dividends to shareholders. The Company has included Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share because it believes that they permit investors to make a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s performance between periods presented by excluding certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring expenses. In addition, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are used by management in evaluating the Company’s performance because it believes they provide indicators of the Company’s performance that are often more meaningful than GAAP financial measures for the reasons stated in the previous sentence. The Company has included Secured Net Leverage Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio measures because it believes that they allow investors to make a meaningful comparison of the Company’s liquidity level and borrowing flexibility. In addition, Total Leverage Ratio and Secured Net Leverage Ratio are used by management in evaluating the Company’s performance because it believes that they allow management to monitor the Company's liquidity level and borrowing flexibility as well as evaluate its capacity to deploy capital to meet its strategic objectives. The Company has included Free Cash Flows because it is used by management and investors in evaluating the Company’s performance and liquidity. As required by applicable securities legislation, the Company has provided definitions of these non-GAAP measures contained in this presentation, as well as a reconciliation of each of them to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, on its website at http://www.itape.com under “Investor Relations” and “Events and Presentations” and “Investor Presentations”. You are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures set forth on the website and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
