EX-99.1

This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements regarding expectations for FLIR's performance are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about FLIR’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by management and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ due to factors in the presentation and in the risk factors section of the Company’s Form 10-K and other reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. FLIR does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation, or for changes made to this document by external parties. FLIR reports financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. The terms “adjusted” and “adj” in this presentation refer to adjusted results, which are non-GAAP measures. See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations in the Appendix to this presentation. These non-GAAP measures of financial performance are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and computational methods may differ from those used by other companies. In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, FLIR excludes certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of its core operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Items excluded consist of: separation, transaction, and integration costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges, discrete legal and compliance matters, and discrete tax items. FLIR management believes these adjusted earnings metrics provide a view of the Company’s core ongoing operating results and facilitate consistent comparison of financial results over time. A full reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial data can be found in FLIR’s earnings release issued on August 6, 2020, which should be reviewed in conjunction with this presentation.
