Forward-Looking Statements & Non-GAAP Disclaimer 2 DISCLAIMER This document has been prepared by ESAB Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “ESAB”), solely for informational purposes. References herein to the terms “ESAB” and the “Company” when used in the historical context prior to April 4, 2022, refer to the carve-out financials derived from Colfax Corporation’s (“Colfax”) accounting records before giving effect to the separation of Colfax’s fabrication technology business into an independent publicly traded company on April 4, 2022 (the “Separation”). References to the terms “ESAB” and the “Company” when used in the future tense or the historical context after April 4, 2022, refer to ESAB Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries after the Separation. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s plans, goals, objectives, outlook, expectations, and intentions, including with respect to the anticipated benefits of the Separation and other statements that are not historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, including general risks and uncertainties such as market conditions, economic conditions, geopolitical events, changes in laws, regulations or accounting rules, fluctuations in interest rates, terrorism, wars or conflicts, major health concerns, natural disasters or other disruptions of expected business conditions. Factors that could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, risks related to the Separation and the Company’s ability to operate as a stand-alone public company; the Company’s ability to achieve the intended benefits of the Separation; the war in Ukraine and escalating geopolitical tensions as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and related impact on energy supplies and prices; macroeconomic conditions; supply chain disruptions; the impact of COVID-19, the impact on creditworthiness and financial viability of customers; other impacts on the Company’s business and ability to execute business continuity plans; and the other factors detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, these statements are based on assumptions that are subject to change. This document speaks only as of the date hereof. The Company disclaims any duty to update the information herein. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This document includes a presentation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, organic sales growth, and adjusted free cash flow and other financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), which ESAB uses to measure the performance of its business. The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein are adjusted for certain items as presented in the Appendix and should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. ESAB presents some of these non-GAAP financial measures including and excluding Russia due to economic and political volatility caused by the Russia and Ukraine conflict, which results in enhanced investor interest in this information. Core non-GAAP financial measures excludes Russia. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing ESAB’s results, and represent the following: ▪ Organic sales growth (presented without Russia or “Core”) excludes the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations; ▪ Adjusted EBITA represents net income excluding the effect of restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges, separation costs, pension settlement gains, income tax expense, and interest expense (income) and other, net; ▪ Adjusted EBITDA (presented without Russia or “Core”) represents Adjusted EBITA excluding the effect of depreciation and other amortization; ▪ EBITA and adjusted EBITDA margins are subject to the same adjustments as adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA, respectively; ▪ Adjusted net income from continuing operations represents net income from continuing operations attributable to ESAB Corporation excluding restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges, pension settlement gains and separation costs. Adjusted net income includes the tax effect of non-GAAP adjusting items at applicable tax rates; ▪ Adjusted net income per share from continuing operations is a calculation of adjusted net income from continuing operations over the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding; ▪ Adjusted free cash flow represents cash flows from operating activities excluding cash outflows related to the ESAB’s separation from Colfax and discontinued operations, less purchases of property, plant and equipment net of proceeds from sale of certain properties. ▪ Cash conversion represents Adjusted free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income from continuing operations. Management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that ESAB uses in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends. See the Appendix to this presentation for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their closest equivalent GAAP measures. Refer to information about the non-GAAP measures contained in this presentation. Additional information regarding non-GAAP measures can be found in our most recent Form 10-Q and our Form 8-K furnished as of the date of this presentation with the SEC, which are available at www.ESABcorporation.com.
