Forward Looking Statements This document contains
statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Federal securities laws including under “2023 Financial Outlook” in this presentation. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors concerning the Company’s operations and business environment. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking
statements and that could adversely affect the Company’s future financial performance include the following: the Company’s ability to manage economic and capital market conditions and the impact of recessions and economic downturns; the impact of
macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility, including inflation and shortages impacting the availability and cost of raw materials, energy, and other supplies; the availability and cost of labor, logistics, and transportation; the impact and
uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to manage it on the global economy, including, but not limited to, its effects on our employees, facilities, customers, and suppliers, governmental regulations and restrictions, and general
economic conditions; the uncertain impacts of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine on our supply chain, input costs, including energy and transportation, and on general economic conditions; the pace and nature of new product
introductions by the Company and the Company’s customers; the Company’s ability to anticipate and respond to changing consumer preferences and changing technologies; the Company’s ability to successfully implement its growth strategies; the
outcome of the Company’s various productivity-improvement and cost-reduction efforts, acquisition and divestiture activities, and operational improvement plan; industry, regulatory, legal, and economic factors related to the Company’s domestic
and international business; the effects of tariffs, trade barriers, and disputes; growth in markets for products in which the Company competes; industry and customer acceptance of price increases; actions by competitors; currency exchange rate
fluctuations; and other factors included in “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in other documents that the Company files with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties identified above
are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely affect the Company. Should any known or unknown risks and
uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. This presentation contains time-sensitive information that reflects management’s
best analysis only as of the date of this presentation. Except to the extent required by applicable laws, the Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Within this document, the Company
reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including: (1) percentage changes in revenue, operating income, diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA on a local currency basis (which eliminate the effects that result from translating its
international operations into U.S. dollars), and (2) adjusted EBITDA (which excludes depreciation and amortization expense, and non-cash share based compensation expense). The Company has included each of these non-GAAP measures in order to provide
additional information regarding the underlying operating results and comparable period-over-period performance. Such information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in
accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation. Rather, they should be considered together with GAAP measures and the rest of the information included in this presentation and the Company’s SEC filings.
Management internally reviews each of these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance on a. comparative period-to-period basis and to gain additional insight into underlying operating and performance trends. The Company believes this information
can be beneficial to investors for these same purposes. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this presentation for reconciliations
and additional information
