Forward-Looking Statements, Non-GAAP Measures The following information may contain forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the completion and timing of the DJO acquisition and Colfax’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements are based on Colfax’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward- looking statements. Factors that could cause Colfax’s results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, the ability of parties to successfully complete the DJO acquisition, access to available financing on a timely basis and reasonable terms, the effects of the transaction on Colfax and DJO operations and factors detailed in Colfax’s reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including its 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 28, 2018 under the caption “Risk Factors.” In addition, these statements are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change. This presentation speaks only as of the date hereof. Colfax disclaims any duty to update the information herein. Colfax has provided in this presentation financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non- GAAP financial measures are projected adjusted net income per share, projected adjusted EBITDA, projected pro forma adjusted EBITDA, projected leverageable adjusted EBITDA, Core or organic sales growth (decline), and organic order growth (decline). Projected adjusted net income per share excludes Restructuring and other related items, Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, the impact of acquisition-related amortization and other costs, gain or loss on short term investments and Pension settlement loss, to the extent they impact the periods presented. Projected adjusted EBITDA excludes Restructuring and other related items, depreciation and amortization, and inventory step-up charges. Projected pro forma adjusted EBITDA also excludes pro forma effects of recent acquisitions. Projected leverageable adjusted EBITDA further excludes stock compensation and future cost savings related to restructuring activities. Core or organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth (decline) exclude the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax management in comparing its operating performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different from the ongoing productivity improvements of the Company. Colfax management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that the Company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends. Sales and order information by end market are estimates. We periodically update our customer groupings order to refine these estimates. 2
