Forward-Looking Statements
The following constitutes a “Safe Harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995: This presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties, including forward-looking statements about our expected future financial and operating
performance, demand for our products, economic and industry outlook, and pending orders. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to record bookings or recognize revenues on pending orders. Our actual
results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of various important
factors, including those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Kadant’s annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2011. These include risks and uncertainties relating to our dependence
on the pulp and paper industry; significance of sales and operation of manufacturing facilities in China; our
ability to adjust operating costs and manufacturing sufficiently in China to meet demand; commodity and
component price increases or shortages; international sales and operations; competition; soundness of
suppliers and customers; our effective tax rate; future restructurings; soundness of financial institutions;
our debt obligations; restrictions in our credit agreement; litigation costs related to our discontinued
operation; our acquisition strategy; protection of patents and proprietary rights; failure of our information
systems or breaches of data security; fluctuations in our share price; and anti-takeover provisions. We
undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including increases
or decreases in revenues excluding the effect of foreign currency translation and earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).
