28 Xerium Has Invested To Permanently Lower Its Cost Structure and Improve its Quality in its Core Product and Service Categories Have been actively litigating case within Administrative Courts Have not changed our ASC 740-10 position An applicable Amnesty Program has been made available in Brazil during a short window until August 25, 2014. This is a settlement program. Rules for participation were finalized and just issued on August 1, 2014 There is an opportunity for sharp reductions in penalties & interest depending on how quickly tax debt is paid. If Xerium chooses to participate, secures necessary financing, and is accepted, then: The Company would anticipate taking a charge to net income of approximately $26 million to $29 million (subject to currency exchange rates and fees). This would not impact Adjusted EBITDA. This would close out and settle this matter, which dates back to a 2005 event. Xerium Update on Brazilian Tax Litigation
29 Xerium Has Invested To Permanently Lower Its Cost Structure and Improve its Quality in its Core Product and Service Categories Xerium TSR Goal Xerium’s goal is above-median Total Stockholder Return Performance as measured against our internal index benchmark, the S&P Global SmallCap Index. -200 -100 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 TSR % Percentile Rank S&P Global SmallCap 3 Year TSR S&P Global SmallCap TSR Distribution 10% XRM 3 Year TSR Compensation Peer TSRs Median TSR = 57.1% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90%
30 Xerium Investment Thesis We Believe There is Opportunity for Substantial Returns for Shareholders We are a small cap stock, currently trading at 6x trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA. Our enterprise value per share is currently $41.79 per share and our market cap per share is $13.40. We have historically enjoyed strong cash generation and are currently in the middle of a transformation of our business which has led to Adjusted EBITDA growth of 19% since 2012 and has more room to run. If we achieve the midpoint of our current Adjusted EBITDA guidance, and maintain our current debt and 6x multiple, our stock price could move from $13.40 per share to $17.60 per share, an increase of 31%. From a longer term perspective, we believe Xerium can outperform the market. We have a goal to be a 3rd quartile TSR relative to S&P Global Small Cap index. Our customers want a strong Xerium to compete with market leaders in PMC & Rolls across all product categories. This is a long-term opportunity that is currently limited by production capacity. Obtaining market share comparable to the market leaders across all of our product offerings could result in $400 million in additional annual sales. Xerium has an opportunity to grow in non-paper product lines such as non-woven and fiber cement. Achieving an approximate 25% market share over time in these markets could add around $20 million in incremental annual sales. As earnings improve and our need to invest our cash in large capital spending and restructuring projects diminishes we will have significant free cash flow from which to pay down debt. A reduction of $15 million of net debt from the current level of $437 million adds approximately $1 per share to the stock price on a pro forma basis.
31 $3.5 billion accessible global market is large and growing Xerium’s sales and orders are growing faster than the market, and we have initiated actions to continue to do so. There is pronounced monthly and quarterly volatility Xerium’s financial results are trending up, and the company is targeting 3rd quartile TSR Management reaffirms full year 2014 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $116 to $120 million, with the primary risk being base market/sales volatility Xerium has an attractive list of forthcoming sales growth programs of both new products and unique capacity investments will benefit future periods Company will continue its program of aggressive cost take-out & competitive repositioning Investment program will have continuing benefits into 2015 - 2017 Summary Optimization hardware and software system for any loaded nip application. #1 global market share.
