Forward Looking Statements and GAAP Disclaimer
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including, for example, statements about the Company’s business
strategy, its industry, its future profitability, growth in the Company’s various markets, the strength of future activity levels, and
the Company’s expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects and assumptions.  These forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance.  These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or
performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. For a discussion of key risk factors, please see the risk
factors disclosed in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 effective April 11, 2012, related to our common stock,
and our Quarterly Statement on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, both of which are available on the SEC’s
website at www.sec.gov.
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 our actual results, performance or achievements
to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements 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.
Statement Regarding use of Non-GAAP Measures:
The Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation (including, without limitation, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Return on Net Assets (RONA) and variations thereof) are not measures of
financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or
any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as
a measure of our liquidity.  They should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, analysis of our results reported in
accordance with GAAP, or as alternative measures of liquidity.  Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial
measures provide a view to measures similar to those used in evaluating our compliance with certain financial covenants under
our credit facilities and provide financial statement users meaningful comparisons between current and prior year period
results.  They are also used as a metric to determine certain components of performance-based compensation.  The
adjustments and Adjusted EBITDA are based on currently available information and certain adjustments that we believe are
reasonable and are presented as an aid in understanding our operating results. They are not necessarily indicative of future
results of operations that may be obtained by the Company.
