15 Appendix

Appendix A-1 Forward-Looking Information Statement All statements included in or made during this presentation other than statements of historical fact may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although we believe that our assumptions made in connection with the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurances that the assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. The following are among the factors that could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements: actions by, and our ability to maintain existing business relationships and practices with, suppliers, customers, carriers and other third parties; loss of any of our key executive officers; our ability to consummate and integrate potential acquisitions; the effect of political, economic and financial market conditions, inflation and interest rates worldwide; the effect of changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, trade, tax, price controls and other regulatory matters; increased competition from other companies in our industry and our ability to retain or increase our market shares in the principal geographical areas in which we operate; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; and our ability to generate sufficient funds to meet our debt obligations, capital expenditure program requirements, ongoing operating costs, acquisition financing and working capital needs. Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with VWR Funding, Inc.'s (the "Company") SEC filings, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. A-1

Appendix A-2 This presentation contains a discussion of certain financial measures which are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), as described below. References to "Adjusted EBITDA" This presentation contains a discussion of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), as adjusted for certain items described below ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA is a non- GAAP financial measure, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other GAAP measure of performance or liquidity. Net income (loss) is the most comparable GAAP measure of our operating results presented in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The table presented on Appendix A-5 reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the periods covered in this presentation. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of charges primarily associated with financing decisions, tax regulations and capital investments and certain other items as further described on Appendix A-5. Adjusted EBITDA is a key financial metric used by the Company's investors and management to evaluate and measure the Company's operating performance. A-2

Appendix A-3 References to "Net Debt" This presentation contains a discussion of net indebtedness ("Net Debt"). Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. Total debt is the most comparable GAAP measure presented in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to total debt or any other GAAP measure of indebtedness or financial condition. The table presented below reconciles this non-GAAP measure to total debt. Our calculation of Net Debt reduces our total debt by the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand as well as by our compensating cash balance. As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we account for our global cash pooling arrangement on a gross basis. Consequently, our total debt balance as of each period end includes aggregated bank overdraft positions for certain subsidiaries participating in our global cash pooling arrangement. Net Debt is an important financial metric used by the Company's creditors, investors and management to evaluate and measure the Company's financial condition. Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt A-3

Appendix A-4 References to "Net Leverage" Management refers to the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve month period as its "Net Leverage" as of a point in time. A financial ratio is not itself a non-GAAP measurement but its calculation includes various non-GAAP measures discussed in Appendix A-2 and A-3. The table below depicts the calculation of Net Leverage for each of the periods referred to in this presentation. A-4

Appendix A-5 Reconciliations to Net Income (Loss) Adjusted EBITDA 2006 - 2010 During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008, we recognized $392.1 million of non-cash impairment charges on our goodwill and intangible assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $48.1 million of non-cash impairment charges on our goodwill and intangible assets. We did not incur any impairment charges during the 2009, 2007 or 2006 periods. Subsequent to June 29, 2007, we have a significant amount of foreign-denominated debt obligations on our U.S. dollar-denominated balance sheet. As a result, the Company's operating results and EBITDA are exposed to foreign currency translation risk with respect to this indebtedness, principally with respect to the Euro. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA excludes the unrealized gain (loss) associated with the translation of foreign-denominated instruments. During the periods included in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded transaction expenses of $36.8 million associated with the purchase of VWR by Madison Dearborn Capital Partners. We did not incur any transaction expenses during the 2006, 2008, 2009 or 2010 periods. A-5

Appendix A-6 (1) Total debt above excludes $85.4 million compensating debt balances which are fully offset by compensating cash balances as per cash pooling arrangements. Debt Maturity Profile A-6
