Fourth Quarter 2022 Consolidated Results

Net sales increased 4.3% versus prior year or 15.4% when adjusting for currency, showing positive momentum exiting the year. Each segment continues to win new customers while passing through pricing to combat high cost inflation.

Loss before taxes of $79.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 included Special Items (as defined below) impact of $103.3 million and compared to loss before taxes of $17.4 million in fourth quarter 2021 including Special Items impact of $59.0 million. Adjusted net income in fourth quarter 2022 was $26.6 million compared to $51.2 million in the fourth quarter 2021 and $28.6 million in fourth quarter 2020 with Adjusted EPS of $0.09 in fourth quarter 2022 compared to $0.16 in fourth quarter 2021 and $0.12 in fourth quarter 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for fourth quarter 2022 was $93.4 million, representing a decline of 14.7% versus the period in 2021 as reported or a decline of 5.8% when adjusting for currency. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 300 basis points compared to the same period 2021. In the fourth quarter, pricing accounted for more than 14% revenue growth. However, accelerating pricing and volume was more than offset by higher costs and foreign exchange pressures in the period.

Segment Review

*Unaudited*	Fourth Quarter Ended December 31
(millions)		2022			2021		% Change

Reported net sales in the Institutional segment of $490.3 million were 0.7% above Q4 2021 or 11.1% when adjusting for currency. Growth in the quarter reflects a combination of new client wins, innovation, pricing, and continued expansion with our existing customers. Adjusted EBITDA of $68.5 million declined 20.6% compared to Q4 2021 or 11.8% when adjusting for currency. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 360 basis points vs Q4 2021 due to cost pressures, but has grown 280 basis points sequentially from Q1 2022 as pricing has gained traction. Acquisitions contributed $10.0 million to sales growth and $0.7 million to Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA declined 17.3% when adjusting for currency. Acquisitions contributed $6.5 million to sales growth and $0.4 million to Adjusted EBITDA.

All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company's control. While the list of risks and uncertainties presented here is, and the discussion of risks and uncertainties to be presented in the proxy statement will be, considered representative, no such list or discussion should be considered a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

We present financial information that conforms to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). We also present financial information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP ("Non-GAAP"), as our management believes it is useful to investors.

The Non-GAAP financial metrics exclude items that we consider to be certain specified items ("Special Items"), such as restructuring charges, transition and transformation costs, certain transaction and other charges related to acquisitions and divestitures, gains and losses related to acquisitions and divestitures, and certain other items. We evaluate unusual or Special Items on an individual basis. Our evaluation of whether to exclude an unusual or Special Item for purposes of determining our Non-GAAP financial measures considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including among other things (i) its nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations, and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as income (loss) before income tax provisions (benefit), interest expense, and depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, as EBITDA adjusted for other items to (i) eliminate certain non-operating income or expense items, (ii) eliminate the impact of certain non-cash and other items that are included in net income (loss) that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and (iii) eliminate certain unusual and non-recurring items impacting results in a particular period.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, net income (loss), income (loss) before income tax provision or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor should they be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our method of calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the methods used by other companies.

Our management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our financial performance. Additionally, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. We also believe that investors, analysts and rating agencies consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA useful means of measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations and evaluating our financial performance, and management uses these measures for one or more of these purposes. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA instead of net income has limitations as an analytical tool.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income (as defined below) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted EPS") are Non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted to (i) eliminate certain non-operating income or expense items, (ii) eliminate the impact of certain non-cash and other items that are included in net income that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, (iii) eliminate certain unusual and non-recurring items impacting results in a particular period, and (iv) reflect the tax effect of items (i) through (iii) and other tax special items.

We believe that in addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are useful in evaluating our business, results of operations and financial condition. We believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and facilitate period to period comparisons of our operations and financial results, as they eliminate the effects of certain variables from period to period for reasons that we do not believe reflect our underlying operating performance or are unusual or infrequent in nature. However, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute or alternative for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have limitations as analytical tools.
