Forward-looking statements maygenerally be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "plan" and "will" or, in each case, theirnegative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts.By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances thatmay or may not occur in the future. As a result, actual events may differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth in “Risk Factors” includedin TPB’s annual report on Form 10-K and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Any forward-looking statement made by TPB in this presentation speaks only as of the date hereof.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION
This presentation includes certain non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP") financial measures, including EBITDA,Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt. Such non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, financial measuresprepared in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the Appendix of this presentation for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA tonet income and Net Debt to Debt. To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accountingprinciples in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, we use non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt.We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and businesstrends relating to financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt are used by management to compareperformance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes and is presented to our board of directors. We believe thatEBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate measures of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of expenses that donot relate to business performance.
Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S.GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our financial statementsand is subject to inherent limitations. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-U.S. GAAP measure differentlythan we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
