Situation Analysis

Husky Energy moves heavy crude oil along pipelines
from the oil fields in Northern Canada through
extremely harsh environment to a central blending
facility

  Colfax engineers and the customer's project engineer
jointly developed the design, quality, and testing spec

Warren GTS-H268 2 screw pumps with specially
designed internal wear resistant components were
chosen to meet the rigorous application

  Colfax pumps installed – 6X increase in service life

Customer realizes $2M annual savings - spare parts
alone   

Colfax Solution

Situation Analysis

Major Venezuelan oil company moves 180,000 BPD of
sand laden crude oil through pipelines using  a
competitor’s pumps.  Pumps are failing after only 3 - 4
months due to excessive wear

Colfax Solution

  For the past 40 years Husky has turned to Colfax and
the Imo 8L 3 screw pump – more than 80 installations

Reliable in the toughest environment

Superior energy efficiency – reduces operating
costs

  Imo 8L is the industry standard for Canadian pipeline
applications from 400 to 2500 gallons per minute

Strong Application Expertise

Proven expertise in meeting customer needs in heavy oil applications

Global infrastructure development will drive capital investment long term and will benefit
local suppliers as well as international exporters of fluid handling equipment.  Expect
demand to soften in chemical, building products, diesel engine and distribution markets.

In the U.S., expect Congress to continue to appropriate funds for new ship construction as
older navy vessels are decommissioned. Sovereign nations outside of the U.S. continue to
expand their fleets as they address national security concerns.

Activity in Asia and the Middle East to remain strong as economic growth and a
fundamental under supply of power generation capacity continues to drive investment in
energy infrastructure projects. Efficiency improvements will continue to drive demand in
the world’s developed economies.

Activity within the global crude oil market to remain favorable as long term capacity
constraints and global demand drive further development of heavy oil fields where Colfax
products excel.  May experience project delays.   

Growth in international trade and demand for crude oil and other commodities as well as
the age of the global merchant fleet should continue to create demand for new ship
construction.  Increasing fleet size creating aftermarket opportunities.  Experiencing order
cancellations.

Appendix

Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted
selling, general and administrative expenses, organic sales growth and organic order growth are non-GAAP financial
measures. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA
exclude asbestos liability and defense cost (income) and asbestos coverage litigation expense, certain legacy legal
charges, certain due diligence costs, certain other post-employment benefit settlement, cross currency swap,
environmental indemnification and discontinued operations expense (income), as well as one time initial public offering-
related costs. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses exclude certain legacy legal charges and certain
due diligence costs.  Adjusted net income also reflects interest expense as if the initial public offering (IPO) had occurred
at the beginning of 2007 and presents income taxes at an effective tax rate of 34%. Adjusted net income per share
assumes the 44,006,026 shares outstanding at the closing of the IPO to be outstanding since January 1, 2007. Projected
adjusted net income per share excludes asbestos coverage litigation and asbestos liability and defense costs, and
presents income tax benefit at 32%.  Organic sales growth and organic order growth exclude the impact of acquisitions
and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax in comparing its operating
performance on a consistent basis because, among other things, they remove the impact of changes in our capital
structure and asset base, non-recurring items such as IPO-related costs, legacy asbestos issues (except in the case of
EBITDA) and items outside the control of its operating management team.

Sales and order information by end market are estimates.  We periodically update our customer groupings in order to
refine these estimates.  During the fourth quarter of 2008, reclassifications of previously reported amounts were made to
conform to current period presentation.  No changes have been made to total sales or orders.
