A copy of presentation slides to be used by Hillenbrand, Inc. (the “Company”) in a CJS Securities Conference presentation on January 13, 2016, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  These presentation slides are also available on the Company’s website under “Investor Relations” at www.hillenbrand.com.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP), we also provide non-GAAP operating performance measures.  These non-GAAP measures are referred to as “adjusted” and exclude expenses associated with backlog amortization, inventory step-up, business acquisition and integration, restructuring, and antitrust litigation.  The related income tax for all of these items is also excluded.  This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

One important non-GAAP measure that we use is Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”).  As previously discussed, a part of our strategy is to selectively acquire companies that we believe can benefit from our core competencies to spur faster and more profitable growth.  Given that strategy, it is a natural consequence to incur related expenses, such as amortization from acquired intangible assets and additional interest expense from debt-funded acquisitions.  Accordingly, we use Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, to monitor our business performance.

Another important non-GAAP measure that we use is backlog.  Backlog is not a term recognized under GAAP; however, it is a common measurement used in the Process Equipment Group industry.  Our backlog represents the amount of consolidated revenue that we expect to realize on contracts awarded related to the Process Equipment Group.  Backlog includes expected revenue from large systems, equipment, and to a lesser extent, replacement parts, components, and service.

We use this non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believe it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results.  The information can also be used to perform trend analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by these types of items.  Finally, the Company believes such information provides a higher degree of transparency.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Throughout this presentation, we make a number of “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  As the words imply, these are statements about future plans, objectives, beliefs, and expectations that might or might not happen in the future, as contrasted with historical information.  Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but by their very nature are subject to a wide range of risks.

Accordingly, in this presentation, we may say something like,

“We expect that future revenue associated with the Process Equipment Group will be influenced by order backlog.”

That is a forward-looking statement, as indicated by the word “expect” and by the clear meaning of the sentence.

Other words that could indicate we’re making forward-looking statements include the following:

intend	believe	plan	expect	may	goal	would
become	pursue	estimate	will	forecast	continue	could
targeted	encourage	promise	improve	progress	potential	should

This is not an exhaustive list, but is intended to give you an idea of how we try to identify forward-looking statements. The absence of any of these words, however, does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.

Here’s the key point: Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements. Any number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, could cause our performance to differ significantly from what is described in the forward-looking statements.

For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements, see the discussions under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Form 10-K for the period ended September  30, 2015, located on our website and filed with the SEC.  We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
