• Gross margin increased to 21.7% from 21.3% primarily due to the favourable impact of the Company’s manufacturing cost

reduction programs and an increase in the spread between selling prices and lower raw material costs, partially offset by the

negative impact of the South Carolina Flood.

• Net earnings decreased primarily due to increases in SG&A and manufacturing facility closures, restructuring and other related

charges.

• Adjusted net earnings increased primarily due to a decrease in income tax expense and an increase in gross profit, partially offset

by an increase in SG&A.

• Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1) decreased to 13.2% from 13.4% primarily due to an increases in SG&A partially offset by an increase

in gross profit.

settlement proceeds received in the second quarter of 2016, an increase in the negative impact of the South Carolina Flood and

higher manufacturing overhead related to planned annual maintenance shut downs of certain manufacturing facilities.

• Net earnings decreased primarily due to a decrease in gross profit and an increase in manufacturing facility closures, restructuring

and other related charges, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense mainly due to lower earnings.

• Adjusted net earnings decreased primarily due to a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense.

Columbia, SC Flood Update

1) Insurance claim settlement proceeds to date total $10 million of which $5.0 million was recorded in manufacturing facility closures,

restructuring and other related charges in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $4.5 million and $0.5 million were recorded in cost of sales and

manufacturing facility closures, restructuring and other related charges, respectively, in the second quarter of 2016.

2) Reflects lost gross profit on lost sales and quality-related masking tape product returns totalling $3.1 million and $3.4 million for the third

quarter and first nine months of 2016, as well as incremental costs from alternative product sourcing. “South Carolina Duplicate Overhead

Costs” refers to temporary operating cost increases related to operating both plants in South Carolina simultaneously and performing

planned actions to mitigate risk associated with new technology, including state-of-the-art equipment, to support the South Carolina Project.

3) Charges relate to property damage as well as subsequent clean-up and insurance claim preparation costs.

• South Carolina Flood Insurance Claim Settlement Reached for $30.0 million in October 2016

– Expected to result in a payment of $19.5 million and a significant positive impact on net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2016

Net positive (negative) impact on gross profit and adjusted EBITDA (2)

2.0 0.5 0.2

1) Refers to the sales attributed to the commissioning efforts of the production lines that were accounted for as a reduction of revenue and a

corresponding reduction of the cost of the South Carolina Project

2) Includes cost savings, net of production ramp-up inefficiencies and South Carolina duplicate overhead costs

• Duct tape production is at targeted levels

• Working through masking tape production ramp-up

• While we expect this project to yield significant savings, it is uncertain if and when

we will realize net savings approaching the estimated $13 million

• Future savings will be achieved incrementally over time as we work through

inefficiencies in the masking tape productions

• Do not currently expect material amount of additional capital expenditures


Outlook

• The Company expects gross margin for 2016 to be between 23% and 24%, excluding the impact of the South Carolina Flood

• Adjusted EBITDA for 2016 is expected to be $117 to $123 million, excluding the impact of the South Carolina Flood

• Manufacturing cost reductions for 2016 are expected to be closer to the upper end of the previously announced range of between $8 and $11 million. This range excludes any cost savings related to the South Carolina Project

• Total capital expenditures for 2016 are expected to be between $55 and $65 million

• The Company expects a 25% to 30% effective tax rate for 2016. Cash taxes paid in 2016 are expected to be approximately half of the income tax expense in 2016

• The Company expects revenue, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA to be greater in the fourth quarter of 2016 than in the fourth quarter of 2015
