Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are identified by words such as “expects,” “estimates,” “confidence,” “projects,” “typically,” “outlook,” “anticipates,” “indicates”, “believes,” “appears,” “could,” “opportunities,” “seeking,” “plans,” “aim,” “pursuit,” “look towards” and other similar words. All statements addressing operating performance, events, “growing”, “pro forma”, or developments that Graham Corporation (“Graham or the “Company”) expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including but not limited to, effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the integration of the BN acquisition, the future expected contributions of BN, expected expansion and growth opportunities within its domestic and international markets, anticipated revenue, the timing of conversion of backlog to sales, market presence, profit margins, tax rates, foreign sales operations, its ability to improve cost competitiveness and productivity, customer preferences, changes in market conditions in the industries in which it operates, the effect on its business of volatility in commodities prices, including, but not limited to, changes in general economic conditions and customer behavior, forecasts regarding the timing and scope of the economic recovery in its markets, its acquisition and growth strategy and its operations in China, India and other international locations, are forward-looking statements. Because they are forward-looking, they should be evaluated in light of important risk factors and uncertainties. These risk factors and uncertainties are more fully described in Graham Corporation’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the heading entitled “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of Graham Corporation’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those currently anticipated.

Except as required by law, Graham Corporation disclaims any obligation to update or publicly announce any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. This presentation includes some non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company believes are useful in evaluating our performance. You should not consider the presentation of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results compared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided a discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of comparable GAAP to non-GAAP measures in tables found in the Supplemental Information portion of this presentation. Pro forma information and Company estimates included in this presentation are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

Key Drivers Leveraging installed base with improved lead management process Expanding international presence, capability and competitiveness Implemented Performance Improvement engineering team Use technology to proactively address opportunities Reduced lead time End markets investing in existing facilities before new capacity Large Energy and Petrochemical Installed Base $20.6M Q1FY22 TTM Sales $150M Market Opportunity(1) $41.7M Q1FY22 TTM Sales $150M Market Opportunity(1) A condenser supports a steam turbine and enables the conversion of maximum energy in high pressure steam into power. An ejector system lowers the pressure in the distillation column to allow crude oil to boil at a lower temperature. This allows for more efficient and cost-effective separation of crude oil into valuable products, such as diesel, gas oils, kerosene, and other fuels.

Supplemental Information


Slide 21

(Unaudited, $ in thousands) Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other acquisition related expenses and Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, is important for investors and other readers of Graham's financial statements, as it is used as an analytical indicator by Graham's management to better understand operating performance. Moreover, Graham’s credit facility also contains ratios based on EBITDA. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are a non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.


Slide 22

(Unaudited, $ in thousands) Adjusted Net Income Reconciliation 1) Applies a normalized tax rate of 19% to GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP adjustments above, which are each pre-tax. Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are defined as net income and diluted EPS as reported, adjusted for certain items and at a normalized tax rate. Adjusted net income and diluted EPS are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP, and may not be comparable to the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted net income and diluted EPS, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s and current year's net income and diluted EPS to the historical periods' net income and diluted EPS. Graham also believes that adjusted EPS, which adds back intangible amortization expense related to acquisitions, provides a better representation of the cash earnings of the Company.
