Disclaimer Forward Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “target,” “endeavor,” “seek,” “predict,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements, other than historical facts, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on Neogen’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, among others, the success of the recently completed combination with the food safety business of 3M Company, limitations or restrictions on Neogen’s activities arising in connection with the transaction, competition and our ability to develop and market new products, recruitment, retention and dependence on key employees, economic conditions affecting the agriculture and food production industries, effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business, supply chain disruption, higher interest rates and inflation, risks relating to international operations and expansion into new geographical markets, identification and integration of acquisitions, research and development risks, patent and trade secret protection, government regulation and other risk factors detailed from time to time in Neogen’s reports filed with the SEC, including Neogen’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the recently completed transaction with 3M Company. The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. Neogen expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or developments, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP Financial Information This presentation includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for informational purposes only and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. In regards to the forward-looking non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin included in this presentation, we are not able to reconcile such metrics to the closest corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items.
Our Purpose We’re fueling a brighter future for global food security. Our Vision We envision a world where everyone has access to a food supply that is safe, sufficient and sustainable. Global food security is a lofty goal. But it’s one we’re uniquely positioned to achieve. For over 40 years we’ve made it our mission to keep our food supply safe. To further human and animal well-being. To champion sustainable practices that affect our land, our water, our world. Every decision made on a farm, in a lab, at a processing plant, affects food security. And we’ll be leading every step of the way.
