Comments on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA consists of net income before net financial income (expenses), income and social contribution taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a financial performance measure used by Metalfrio’s management. EBITDA is not a financial performance measure calculated in accordance with Brazilian GAAP or U.S. GAAP, and it must not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as an indicator of liquidity. EBITDA is not calculated using a standard methodology and may not be comparable to the definition of EBITDA or similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company disclosers its EBITDA because it uses it to measure its performance and because Metalfrio considers it a useful measure that is frequently used by capital market analysts, investors and others to evaluate companies like Metalfrio. However, EBITDA presents limitations that impair its use as a measurement of our profits since it does not consider certain costs arising from the Company´s business that that might significantly impact its results of operations and liquidity, such as financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, capital investments and other related charges.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for nonoperating expenses and tax incentives. The tax incentives, which reduce Metalfrio´s cash tax liabilities, are credited directly to shareholders’ equity and do not have an impact on its net income. The management considers it appropriate to adjust EBITDA with respect to these tax incentives, because the Company recognizes the integral amount of the ICMS expense in its statement of income, and the reduction of ICMS payable resulting from tax incentives is recorded directly against its shareholders’ equity under “Capital Reserve—Tax Incentives.” Similar to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial performance measure calculated in accordance with Brazilian GAAP or U.S. GAAP, and it must not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as an indicator of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated using a standard methodology and may not be comparable to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Although the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not provide, according to the Brazilian Accounting Principles (BR GAAP) or the U.S. Accounting Principles (US GAAP), measures of the operational cash flows, Metalfrio management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure its operating performance. Additionally, the Company management believes that disclosure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA can provide useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their review of the Company’s operating performance and its comparison to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry and other industries.
