Reduced activity from industrial manufacturers and downstream customers, as well as delayed line pipe projects, muted revenue expansion. Operating losses in the U.S. were curtailed by volume gains and improved product margins. Canada Canadian revenue improved 22% sequentially, related primarily to rig count improvement. Operating profit increased in the quarter due to volume increases, lower inventory charges, increased activity in the Montney and Viking plays and a new oil sands MRO agreement. International International revenue grew 4% in the quarter driven by electrical project sales in Europe and increased customer penetration throughout the Middle East and Europe. Even though sequential revenues grew Internationally, operating margins were flat as project sales at better-thanaverage product margins declined in 3Q.

EBITDA, Net Income and Diluted EPS Excl. Other Costs Footnotes (1) In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose various non-gaap financial measures in our quarterly earnings press releases and other public disclosures. The non-gaap financial measures include: (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding other costs, (ii) net loss excluding other costs and (iii) diluted loss per share excluding other costs. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain other costs and therefore has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each of these non-gaap financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the schedules herein. (2) Other costs primarily includes the transaction costs associated with acquisition activity, including the cost of inventory that was stepped up to fair value during purchase accounting and severance expenses which are included in operating loss. (3) EBITDA % excluding other costs is defined as EBITDA excluding other costs divided by Revenue. (4) Other costs, net of tax, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes an expense of $5M and $18M, respectively, after tax, for a valuation allowance recorded against the Company s deferred tax assets; as well as, less than $1M and $1M, respectively, after tax, in severance expenses that are included in operating loss. (5) Totals may not foot due to rounding. * See referenced schedules on slides 3, 6, 7 & 10 18
