Legal Disclaimer This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements may be made a part of this presentation or by reference to other documents we file with the SEC. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words. Statements that are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,” “may,” “estimate,” “should,” “seek,” “expect,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar words, or the negatives of those words, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Certain statements regarding the following particularly are forward-looking in nature: future financial performance and goals, 2021 guidance, ESG initiatives, market forecasts or projections, projected capital expenditures; and our business and acquisition strategy. All forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future economic performance, taking into account the information currently available to it. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us, that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial position. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include but are not limited to the risks set forth in “Risk Factors” included in our SEC filings. In addition, our discussion may include references to Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, cash flow, CAD or other non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to such non-GAAP financial measures is included in our annual and quarterly reports in Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the SEC as well as the attached Appendix. In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Regulation G and Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not reconciled 2021 Adjusted EBITDA or 2021 Payout Ratio (which requires an estimate of 2021 CAD) to their comparable GAAP measure because we do not provide guidance on Net Income (Loss), Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities or the applicable reconciling items as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these items. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
