Forward Looking Statements Non-GAAP Disclaimer This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Words such as “will,” “expect,” “look forward,” “guidance,” “targeted”, “goals”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Statements about the company’s business, including its strategy, its industry, the company’s future profitability, the company’s guidance on its sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted SG&A, Gross Profit, Gross Profit percentage, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit percentage, Net Debt, Tax Rate, Capital Expenditures and Cash from Operations, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow after Dividends, growth in the company’s various markets and the company’s expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects and assumptions are not guarantees of future performance. These statements are based on management’s expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, including the factors described in the company’s SEC filings that may cause our actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 13, 2023. For a discussion of key risk factors, please see the risk factors disclosed in the company’s SEC filings, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the company’s website, www.mrcglobal.com. Our filings and other important information are also available on the Investor Relations page of our website at www.mrcglobal.com. Undue reliance should not be placed on the company’s forward-looking statements. Although forward-looking statements reflect the company’s good faith beliefs, reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the company’s actual results, performance or achievements or future events to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements or future events expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. In this presentation, the company is providing certain non-GAAP financial measures. These are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as alternatives.  The following GAAP measures have the following non-GAAP measures presented and derived from the respective GAAP measures: Net Income (adjusted EBITDA) Net Income margin (adjusted EBITDA margin) Gross profit (Adjusted Gross Profit) Gross profit percentage (Adjusted Gross Profit percentage) Net Income (adjusted Net Income) Diluted Earnings per Share (adjusted diluted EPS) Selling, general and administrative expense (adjusted SG&A) Net cash provided by operations (free cash flow and free cash flow after dividends) Long-term debt, net (Net Debt) Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), Adjusted for LIFO They should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, analysis of our results reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors a view to measures similar to those used in evaluating our compliance with certain financial covenants under our credit facilities and provide meaningful comparisons between current and prior year period results. They are also used as a metric to determine certain components of performance-based compensation. They are not necessarily indicative of future results of operations that may be obtained by the company.

Note: ROIC, including LIFO, was calculated from GAAP measures by dividing Invested Capital by NOPAT. ROIC, Adjusted for LIFO, was calculated from non-GAAP adjusted measures by dividing Invested Capital, net of LIFO, by NOPAT, net of LIFO. Utilizing ROIC calculated using the non-GAAP measures is not better than ROIC calculated using the GAAP measures. However, the company presents ROIC, Adjusted for LIFO, because the company believes it provides useful comparisons of the company’s ROIC to other distribution companies, including those companies with whom we compete in the distribution of pipe, valves and fittings, many of which do not utilize LIFO inventory costing methodology. The impact of the LIFO inventory costing methodology can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The company believes that NOPAT and Invested Capital are the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly compared to NOPAT, net of LIFO, and Invested Capital, Net of LIFO, used in the calculation of ROIC, Adjusted for LIFO.   Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), Adjusted for LIFO APPENDIX ($ millions) 2022 2021 Net Income (loss) $ 75 $ (14) Interest expense, net of tax 18 17 Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) $ 93 $ 3 LIFO expense, net of tax 50 58 NOPAT, net of LIFO $ 143 $ 61 Long-term debt $ 340 $ 297 Shareholders’ equity 386 323 Preferred stock 355 355 Operating lease liabilities (short and long-term) 218 210 Invested Capital $ 1,299 $ 1,185 Add: Increase in LIFO reserve, net of tax 50 58 Invested Capital, net of LIFO $ 1,349 $ 1,243 ROIC, including LIFO 7.2% 0.3% ROIC, Adjusted for LIFO 11% 4.9%
