All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our short-term and long-term growth strategies, efforts to develop and commercialize our products, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
These forward looking statements are only predictions and we may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, so you should not rely on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
The information in this presentation is current as of August 2014 and speaks only as of such date. We expressly disclaim any obligation to release any updates or revisions to any information presented herein, including any forward-looking statements, to reflect any change in our expectations or projections or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such information or statements are based for any reason, except as required by law, even as new information becomes available. All information and forward-looking statements in this presentation are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
In addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this presentation and related tables include Adjusted EBIDTA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We have provided a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is available in “Reconciliations” on slide 28. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance, because it does not include the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business and as a performance measure under our bonus plan. We also believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors with respect to our results of operations and in assessing the performance and value of our business. Although we believe this non-GAAP financial measure enhances investors’ understanding of our business and performance, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered an alternative to or substitute for accompanying GAAP financial measures.
The risk factors set forth in our prospectus dated June 12, 2014 and filed with the SEC on June 16, 2014 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are incorporated by reference into this presentation and should be read in their entirety alongside this presentation.

This presentation contains market data and industry forecasts that were obtained from industry publications, third party market research and publicly available information. These publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth, size of insulation opportunity at various types of energy infrastructure facilities and other data about our industry. We obtained the industry and market data in this presentation from our own research as well as from industry and general publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties, some of which may not be publicly available. For example, this presentation includes statistical data extracted from an off-the-shelf market research report (World Insulation - #2956) by The Freedonia Group, an independent international market research firm, and a separate custom market research report by Freedonia Custom Research, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Freedonia Group, or Freedonia, which was commissioned by us and was issued in February 2014. Such data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and contains projections and estimates of the future performance of the industries in which we operate that are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. We caution you not to give undue weight to such projections, assumptions and estimates. The Freedonia Custom Research, Inc. Report, or the Freedonia Report, represents data, research opinion or viewpoints developed independently on our behalf and does not constitute a specific guide to action. In preparing the Freedonia Report, Freedonia used various sources, including publicly available third party financial statements; government statistical reports; press releases; industry magazines; and interviews with manufacturers of related products (including us), manufacturers of competitive products, distributors of related products and government and trade associations.

Case Study – Compact Design
End User: Technip
Product: Spaceloft Subsea
Project: Dalia Field Offshore Angola
Problem: Low reservoir temperatures caused oil to cool and fall below a required minimum temperature as it was transported via pipeline from the wellhead to the production facility
Solution: Spaceloft Subsea blankets provided the required thermal performance and were thin enough to fit in the narrow gap between the inner 12” flowline and the outer 17” steel casing. Aspen has since worked with Technip on more than 20 subsea projects

Case Study – Durability and Faster Installation
End User: Major oil and gas company operating in the Alberta oil sands
Product: Pyrogel XT-E
Project: Phase II oil sands piping
Problem: High cost of piping insulation installation on-site in harsh weather conditions
Solution: Pyrogel XT-E’s durability allowed the customer to pre-insulate its pipelines in an environmentally controlled fabrication facility, then transport the insulated pipe to the field, which significantly lowered labor costs and reduced installation time

Case Study – Corrosion Under Insulation
End User: Formosa Petrochemical
Product: Pyrogel XT
Project: Formosa industrial piping
Problem: Following severe corrosion under insulation (CUI) challenges at a petrochemical complex, Formosa embarked on a facility-wide renewal project with a commitment to corrosion control
Solution: Pyrogel’s hydrophobic and vapor permeable characteristics, and thin form factor allowed Formosa to pack its piping more tightly, reduce the number of decks, and free additional space for future expansion work

Historical Projected
1. Nameplate capacity represents our projected maximum sustainable annual output 2. Effective capacity is the capacity at which we can operate while maintaining the quality of our products and efficiency of our operations in a given period. Actual effective capacity is also impacted
by the date within a given year on which we add the capacity. The projected nameplate and effective capacity for the years 2014 through 2018 are based on certain assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable, but these assumptions could prove to be incorrect, which could result in actual capacity differing materially from the projections above.
