"We continue to make progress on our comprehensive refinancing initiative. The financing completed in early October combined with yesterday's execution of the amendment to our credit agreement ending the forbearance condition are important steps toward that goal. In addition, we believe this will support our new customer order intake activities," commented Doug Cain, Unique Fabricating's Chief Executive Officer. "Operationally, our team continues to adapt and to adjust to various challenges, delivering for our customers and maintaining cost-discipline. Volumes remained challenged in the third quarter and into the fourth quarter while inconsistent customer production schedules persisted. At this time, our supply chain availability has improved in most areas and the cost curve appears to have flattened. With improvements already made and more in process, we believe that we can continue to navigate these challenges, and that we will emerge as one of the stronger suppliers as the industry normalizes."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Third Amendment to Forbearance Agreement suspended the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA Covenant for the remainder of the forbearance period. To keep the reader informed on how our performance measures against potential future financial covenants, we are disclosing the reconciliation of net income (loss), as reported, to Operating EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure which is similar to financial measurements used in the past to measure the Company's performance against previously required financial covenants. There can be no assurance as to the requirements or form of future financial covenants, including that the example we are providing will be incorporated into any covenant or measure of our performance in the future or as to the use or calculation of Operating EBITDA or any other non-GAAP financial measure. Operating EBITDA, as determined and measured by Unique Fabricating, is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before certain items, as applicable, such as non-cash stock compensation, severance, restructuring, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on the sale or exchange of assets other than in the ordinary course of business, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, and certain expenses related to our Forbearance Agreement including financial advisor fees, legal expenses, amendment fees, and risk advisory and mitigation costs. Operating EBITDA as presented, should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Operating EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operating EBITDA, as determined and measured by Unique Fabricating, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Certain of the adjustments and add backs to Operating EBITDA are recurring in nature and are cash expenses, which we believe limits the usefulness of Operating EBITDA as a measurement of the Company's performance.
Customer Order Intake ("COI") reflects anticipated future sales from formally awarded programs and is based on expected production volumes for the life of the program. The calculation of Customer Order Intake does not reflect the impact of lost business and discontinued programs and may be impacted by various assumptions embedded in the respective calculation, including, among other things, actual production levels on new programs and the timing of program launches.
Non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for analysis of Unique Fabricating's results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
