Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “forecast,” “intend,” “seek,” “target,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward looking statements include estimated financial information. Such forward looking statements with respect to revenues, earnings, performance, strategies, prospects and other aspects of the businesses of Avista, Envigo or the combined company after completion of the business combination are based on current expectations that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from expectations expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (6) costs related to the proposed business combination; (7) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (8) the possibility that Envigo may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (9) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the final prospectus of AHPAC, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by AHPAC. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. AHPAC and Envigo undertake no commitment to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Anyone using the presentation does so at their own risk and no responsibility is accepted for any losses which may result from such use directly or indirectly. Investors should carry out their own due diligence in connection with the assumptions contained herein. The forward-looking statements in this press release speak as of the date of this release. Although AHPAC may from time to time voluntarily update its prior forward-looking statements, it disclaims any commitment to do so whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise except as required by securities laws.

 

Disclaimer

 

This communication shall neither constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This communication relates to a proposed business combination between AHPAC and Envigo.

 

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

In connection with the proposed business combination between Envigo and AHPAC, AHPAC intends to file with the SEC a preliminary and definitive proxy statement and will mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documentation to AHPAC’s stockholders. This communication does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed business combination. It is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect to the proposed business combination. AHPAC’s stockholders and other interested AHPAC’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting to be held to approve the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination because these materials will contain important information about Envigo, AHPAC and the proposed transactions. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to AHPAC’s stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed business combination when it becomes available. Stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the preliminary and definitive proxy statement once it is available, without charge, at the SEC’s website at http://sec.gov or by directing a request to: Avista Healthcare Public Acquisition Corp., 65 East 55th Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

 

AHPAC stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of these documents (if and when available) and other documents containing important information about AHPAC and Envigo, once such documents are filed with the SEC.

 



 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

AHPAC and its directors, executive officers and other members of its management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from AHPAC’s stockholders in connection with the proposed business combination. Stockholders are urged to carefully read the proxy statement regarding the proposed business combination when it becomes available, because it will contain important information. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of AHPAC’s stockholders in connection with the proposed business combination will be set forth in the proxy statement when it is filed with the SEC. Information about AHPAC’s executive officers and directors also will be set forth in the proxy statement relating to the proposed business combination when it becomes available.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Related Information

 

This communication has not been prepared in accordance with, and does not contain all of the information that is required by, the rules and regulations of the SEC. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and the related pro forma information presented in this presentation are supplemental measures of Envigo’s ability to service debt that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBTIDA are not measurements of Envigo’s financial performance under GAAP and neither should be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. As a result, not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is available without unreasonable effort.

 

Envigo believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Envigo’s financial condition and results of operations. Envigo’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Envigo’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning purposes. Envigo believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. Management of Envigo does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and EBITDA Margin and other non-GAAP measures differently, and therefore Envigo’s EBITDA and EBITDA Margin and other non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Long Term Financial Goals  Organic net revenue growth: mid-single digits  Organic adjusted EBITDA growth: low double digit  with potential upside from synergistic M&A Note: These targets are forward-looking, are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Envigo and its management, and are based upon assumptions with respect to future decisions, which are subject to change. Actual results may vary and these variations may be material. Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that these goals will be achieved and Envigo undertakes no duty to update its goals. 34 Adjusted EBITDA margins: low to mid 20% area
