Safe Harbor Statement
This
presentation
contains
certain
statements
that
may
be
deemed
“forward-looking
statements”
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  All statements that
address activities, events or developments that the Company intends, expects, plans, projects,
believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.  Examples
of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements the Company makes
regarding general economic conditions, spending by municipalities, the outlook for the
residential and non-residential construction markets, improvements related to capacity
utilization, the recovery, if any, of our end markets, and the potential effect of the refinancing
on
the
Company’s
operations,
and
the
impact
of
these
factors
on
our
businesses.
Forward-looking
statements
are
based
on
certain
assumptions
and
assessments
made
by
the
Company
in
light
of
its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments.  Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including regional,
national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions
and the following:
the demand level of manufacturing and construction activity;
the Company’s ability to service its debt obligations; and
the
other
factors
that
are
described
in
the
section
entitled
“RISK
FACTORS”
in
Item
1A
of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements. The Company does not
have any intention or obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by
law.
Safe Harbor Statement

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company presents adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net
loss, adjusted net loss per share, free cash flow and net debt as non-GAAP measures.  Adjusted
income (loss) from operations represents income (loss) from operations excluding impairment
and restructuring.  Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations excluding
impairment, restructuring, depreciation and amortization. The Company presents adjusted
EBITDA because it is a measure of performance management believes is frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and interested parties in the evaluation of financial performance. 
Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share exclude impairment, restructuring, loss on
early extinguishment of debt, certain costs to settle interest rate swap contracts, the tax on the
repatriation of earnings from Canada and the income tax effects of the other previously
mentioned items.  These items are excluded because they are not considered indicative of
recurring
operations.
Free
cash
flow
represents
cash
flows
from
operating
activities,
less
certain
expenditures related to the early extinguishment of notes, less capital expenditures, and is
presented as a measurement of cash flow because it is commonly used by the investment
community. Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents.  Net debt is commonly
used by the investment community as a measure of indebtedness.  Adjusted income (loss) from
operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share, free cash flow and
net debt have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider any of these non-
GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported
under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").  
A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results is included as an attachment to this presentation
and
has

Consolidated Non-GAAP Results
Began to see the benefits of January valve and hydrant price increases
Average prices on pipe shipments at U.S. Pipe were down YOY but up sequentially. Order price up sequentially.
Significant improvement in operating margins on increased volumes, manufacturing and other cost savings, and
increased capacity utilization primarily at Mueller Co. and U.S.
Pipe
Continue to see signs of stabilization in most of Anvil’s end markets
