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, and industry and economic outlook. The recently file settlement
of the composites building products litigation disclosed herein is contingent upon a number of items,
including the preliminary and final approval of the court, and there is no assurance that it will be approved
in its present form or at all. 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 period ended July 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 and the court approval of the recently filed settlement; 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, adjusted
net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, 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 third quarter earnings press release issued October 26, 2011, which is available
in the Investors section of our website at www.kadant.com under the heading Investors News.

Financial Classifications
All geographic revenues and bookings data are attributed to regions based on selling locations. For
North America and China, this usually approximates revenues and bookings based on where the
equipment is shipped to and installed. Our European geographic data, however, includes revenues
and bookings that may be shipped to and installed outside Europe, including South America, Africa,
the Middle East, and certain countries in Asia (excluding China).
