Company's plans, goals, objectives, outlook, expectations, and intentions, including statements that are not historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document includes a presentation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, organic sales growth, and adjusted free cash flow and other financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), which ESAB uses to measure the performance of its business. The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein are adjusted for certain items as presented in the Appendix and should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. ESAB presents some of these non-GAAP financial measures including and excluding Russia due to economic and political volatility caused by the Russia and Ukraine conflict, which results in enhanced investor interest in this information. Core non-GAAP financial measures excludes Russia for the three months ended March 29, 2024, and March 31, 2023. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing ESAB's results, and represent the following:
- Organic sales growth (presented with and without Russia or "Core") excludes the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations;
- Adjusted EBITA (presented with and without Russia or "Core") represents net income excluding the effect of restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges, separation costs, pension settlement gains, income tax expense, and interest expense (income) and other, net;
- Adjusted EBITDA (presented with and without Russia or "Core") represents Adjusted EBITA excluding the effect of depreciation and other amortization;
- Adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA margins are subject to the same adjustments as adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA, respectively;
- Adjusted net income from continuing operations (presented with and without Russia or "Core") represents net income from continuing operations attributable to ESAB Corporation excluding restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges, pension settlement gains and separation costs. Adjusted net income includes the tax effect of non-GAAP adjusting items at applicable tax rates;
- Adjusted net income per share from continuing operations (presented with and without Russia or "Core) is a calculation of adjusted net income from continuing operations over the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding;
- Adjusted free cash flow represents cash flows from operating activities excluding cash outflows related to the ESAB's separation from Colfax and discontinued operations, less purchases of property, plant and equipment net of proceeds from sale of certain properties.
- Cash conversion represents Adjusted free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income from continuing operations.
Management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that ESAB uses in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends. See the Appendix to this presentation for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their closest equivalent GAAP measures. Refer to information about the non-GAAP measures contained in this presentation. Additional information regarding non-GAAP measures can be found in our most recent Form 10-K and our Form 8-K furnished as of the date of this presentation with the SEC, which are available at www.ESABcorporation.com.
