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, industry and economic outlook, and pending
orders. There can be no assurance that we will be able to record bookings or recognize revenues on
the pending orders described in this presentation. 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 quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
April 2, 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
expand capacity 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 and warranty costs related to our discontinued
operation; our acquisition strategy; protection of patents and proprietary rights; 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, adjusted operating income, earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of those numbers to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is
shown in our 2011 second quarter earnings press release issued July 27, 2011, which is available in

the Middle East, and certain countries in Asia (excluding China).
