Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, its 2022 guidance, those that discuss strategies, goals, financial outlooks, corporate initiatives, existing or new products, existing or new markets, operating efficiencies, or other non-historical matters.  Because such statements deal with future events and are based on ICL Group’s current expectations, they could be impacted or be subjected to various risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in the company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in subsequent filings with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) and/or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Therefore, actual results, performance or achievements of the company could differ materially from those described in or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Although the company believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can provide no assurance expectations will be achieved. Except as otherwise required by law, ICL Group disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise. Readers, listeners and viewers are cautioned to consider these risks and uncertainties and to not place undue reliance on such information.  Certain market and/or industry data used in this presentation were obtained from internal estimates and studies, where appropriate, as well as from market research and publicly available information. Such information may include data obtained from sources believed to be reliable, however, ICL Group disclaims the accuracy and completeness of such information, which is not guaranteed. Internal estimates and studies, which the company believes to be reliable, have not been independently verified.

Please note other companies may calculate similarly titled non‑GAAP financial measures differently than ICL Group and definitions of these measures may differ from those used by other companies or such companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which may reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not superior to, financial measures provided in accordance with IFRS. Please refer to the company’s first quarter 2022 press release for the period ended March 31, 2022, and the appendix to this presentation for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 Guidance and non-GAAP financial measures  32  Guidance  The company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to GAAP net income (loss), due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts necessary for such a reconciliation, in particular because special items, such as restructuring, litigation and other matters, used to calculate projected net income (loss) vary dramatically based on actual events, the company is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income (loss) at this time. The amount of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected GAAP net income (loss) being materially less than projected EBITDA (non-GAAP). Our guidance speaks only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation or to reflect actual outcomes, unless required by law. Specialties focused businesses are represented by the Industrial Products and Innovative Ag Solutions segments and the specialties part of the Phosphate Solutions segment. We present EBITDA from the phosphate specialties part of the Phosphate Solutions segment, as we believe this information is useful to investors in reflecting the specialty portion of our business  Non-GAAP financial measures  We disclose in this quarterly report non-IFRS financial measures titled adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. Our management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. We calculate our adjusted operating income by adjusting our operating income to add certain items, as set forth in the reconciliation table under “Adjustments to reported operating and net income (non-GAAP)” below. Certain of these items may recur. We calculate our adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders by adjusting our net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders to add certain items, as set forth in the reconciliation table under “Adjustments to reported operating and net income (non-GAAP)” below, excluding the total tax impact of such adjustments. We calculate our diluted adjusted earnings per share by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted-average number of diluted ordinary shares outstanding. Our adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before financing expenses, net, taxes on income, share in earnings of equity-accounted investees, depreciation and amortization and adjust items presented in the reconciliation table under “Consolidated adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted Earnings Per Share for the periods of activity” below, which were adjusted for in calculating the adjusted operating income. Commencing with the year 2022, the Company’s “adjusted EBITDA” calculation is no longer adding back “minority and equity income, net. While “minority and equity income, net” reflects the share of an equity investor in one of our owned operations, since adjusted EBITDA measures the Company’s performance as a whole, its operations and its ability to satisfy cash needs before profit is allocated to the equity investor, management believes that adjusted EBITDA before deduction of such item is more reflective. For additional information regarding this adjustment for prior periods, please see the reconciliation table under “Consolidated adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted Earnings Per Share for the periods of activity” below. You should not view adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share or adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for operating income or net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders determined in accordance with IFRS, and you should note that our definitions of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA may differ from those used by other companies. Additionally, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which may reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as tools for comparison. However, we believe adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. Our management uses these non-IFRS measures to evaluate the Company's business strategies and management's performance. We believe that these non‑IFRS measures provide useful information to investors because they improve the comparability of our financial results between periods and provide for greater transparency of key measures used to evaluate our performance.
