     The following slides accompanied a presentation made by officers of EnPro Industries, Inc. (“EnPro”) on March 26, 2008 at the Bank of America SmidCap Conference held in Boston, Massachusetts and webcast live. Replays of the presentation are not yet available.
     EnPro has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and commenced mailing to its shareholders a definitive proxy statement for EnPro’s 2008 annual meeting of shareholders. The proxy statement contains important information about EnPro and the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders. EnPro’s shareholders are urged to read the proxy statement carefully. On March 25, 2008, EnPro began the process of mailing the proxy statement, together with a WHITE proxy card. Shareholders may obtain additional free copies of the proxy statement and other relevant documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by EnPro through the website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of the proxy statement are also be available for free at EnPro’s website, http://www.enproindustries.com, by calling EnPro at 704-731-1552, by emailing to investor@enproindustries.com, or by writing to EnPro Industries, Inc., 5605 Carnegie Boulevard, Suite 500, Charlotte, North Carolina 28209, Attention: Corporate Secretary. In addition, copies of the proxy statement may be requested by contacting EnPro’s proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, Inc., by phone toll-free at 1-800-322-2885. EnPro and its directors, director nominees and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies for EnPro’s 2008 annual meeting, and detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of these individuals is available in EnPro’s proxy statement for its 2008 annual meeting of shareholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2008.
     The presentation includes references to certain financial measures which are not measures under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These non-GAAP financial measures are segment EBITDA, pre-asbestos operating cash flows, and adjusted earnings per share. Segment EBITDA is segment profit plus depreciation and amortization attributable to EnPro’s operating segments, reduced by the profit of divested businesses and the depreciation and amortization attributable to the divested businesses. Segment profit is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and restructuring and other costs identifiable with the segment. Corporate expenses include general corporate administrative costs. Expenses not directly attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, asbestos-related expenses, gains/losses or impairments related to the sale of assets and income taxes are not included in the computation of segment profit. Pre-asbestos operating cash flow and adjusted earnings per share reflect adjustments to net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations as detailed in the reconciliations included in the presentation. Management of EnPro uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the performance of EnPro’s operations. Management believes that users of EnPro’s financial statements may benefit from understanding the impact of selected items, including items that may recur, on its reported net income, operating cash flows and earnings per share. This enables users to better compare EnPro with diversified industrial manufacturing companies that do not incur significant expenses related to asbestos or discontinued operations. Many such items may impact a company’s reported results; this list is not intended to present all such items.

Forward Looking Statements Statements in this presentation that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the resolution of current and potential future asbestos claims against certain of our subsidiaries which depends on such factors as the possibility of asbestos reform legislation, the financial viability of insurance carriers, the timing of payments of claims and related expenses, the timing of insurance collections, limitations on the amount that may be recovered from insurance carriers, the bankruptcies of other defendants and the results of litigation; general economic conditions in the markets served by our businesses, some of which are cyclical and experience periodic downturns; prices and availability of raw materials; and the amount of any payments required to satisfy contingent liabilities related to discontinued operations of our predecessors, including liabilities for certain products, environmental matters, guaranteed debt and lease payments, employee benefit obligations and other matters. In addition, the estimated liability for early-stage and potential future asbestos claims that may be received, which is highly uncertain, is based on subjective assumptions and is within a range of possible values. Our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, describe these and other risks and uncertainties in more detail. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement made in this presentation to reflect any change in management's expectations or any change in the assumptions or circumstances on which such statements are based. This presentation also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities Exchange Commission. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP equivalents is included as an appendix to this presentation.

Appendix Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures


 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Operating Cash Flows to GAAP Cash Flows


 

Reconciliation of non-GAAP EPS to GAAP EPS In 2002, this adjustment removes the impact of discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and management's estimate of the additional corporate costs and reduced interest expense that would have been incurred had we operated as an independent public company prior to the our spin off from Goodrich. In 2003-2007, these adjustments primarily reflect restructuring expenses, gains/loss on sale of assets, tax accrual adjustments and a gain on the repurchase of TIDES. In 2007, the adjustment also includes an extraordinary item reflecting a gain on the purchase of a minority interest.


 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP EBITDA to Reported Segment Profit
