operating activities of G&W’s Australian Operations, less net purchases of property and equipment of G&W’s Australian Operations. The timing and amount of actual distributions, if any, from GWA to G&W and MIRA made in any given period will vary and could differ materially from the amounts presented. There were no such distributions made for both the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. G&W expressly disclaims any direct correlation between the allocation of adjusted cash flow to noncontrolling interest and actual distributions made in any given period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains references to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to G&W, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share (EPS), Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Ratio, the Adjusted Free Cash Flow measures of Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Attributable to G&W, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Attributable to G&W and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Attributable to G&W Before New Business Investments and Grant Funded Projects, and Net Adjusted Debt to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), which are “non-GAAP financial measures” as this term is defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, G&W has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
Management views these non-GAAP financial measures as important measures of G&W’s operating performance or, in
the case of the Adjusted Free Cash Flow measures, important financial measures of how well G&W is managing its
assets and a useful indicator of cash flow that may be available for discretionary use by G&W. Management also views
these non-GAAP financial measures as a way to assess comparability between periods. Key limitations of the Adjusted
Free Cash Flow measures include the assumptions that G&W will be able to refinance its existing debt when it matures
and meet other cash flow obligations from financing activities, such as principal payments on debt.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than,
or as an alternative to, their most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be
different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
The following tables set forth reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure (in millions, except percentages and per share amounts).
