Non-GAAP Measures:Our management uses non-GAAP financial measures in assessing and evaluating the Company’s performance, which

exclude items we consider unusual or special items. We believe the use of such financial measures and information may be

useful to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures, as non-

GAAP measures are a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the attached

schedule for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP financial measures.

Forward-Looking Statements:Statements made during this presentation which are not historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from

those expressed or implied. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words such as “may,”

“will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “forecast,” “guidance” or words of similar meaning. For further

information concerning issues that could materially affect financial performance related to forward-looking statements,

please refer to Lincoln Electric’s quarterly earnings releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange

important to investors to evaluate and compare the Company’s financial performance from period to period. Management uses this information in assessing and evaluating the Company’s underlying

operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures, as non-GAAP measures are a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP

financial measures.
