The
executive officers of Twin Disc intend to present materials at meetings with
investors and analysts and at investor conferences on or after November 11,
2008. A copy of the presentation materials to be used at those
meetings and from time to time thereafter is filed as Exhibit 99.1
hereto. The presentation materials will also be posted on the
Company’s website, www.twindisc.com The
Company does not intend to file any update of these presentation
materials. The fact that these presentation materials are being
furnished should not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any
information contained in the materials.
The
information included in the presentation includes financial information
determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s
management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s
performance. The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP
measures provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper
understanding of the operating results of the Company’s core businesses. These
non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results
determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to
non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other
companies.
The
information in this Form 8-K being furnished under Item 7.01 shall not be deemed
to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such
section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any
filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be
expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The presentation
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the Company’s
expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s
actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements.
These risks are discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including an extensive discussion of these risks in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008.

information excluding the impact of certain significant items in this
presentation are not measures that
are defined in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These items are measures that
management believes are important to adjust for in order to have a meaningful comparison to prior and future
periods and to provide a basis for future projections and for estimating our earnings growth prospects. Non-
GAAP measures are used by management as a performance measure to judge profitability of our business
absent the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and acquisitions. Management analyzes the
company’s business performance and trends excluding these amounts. These measures, as well as EBITDA,
provide a more consistent view of performance than the closest GAAP equivalent for management and
investors. Management compensates for this by using these measures in combination with the GAAP
measures. The presentation of the non-GAAP measures in this presentation are made alongside the most
