On October 31, 2013, Chart Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a news release announcing the Company’s financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. A copy of the news release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

The news release furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 includes an adjusted earnings per share amount that excludes certain expenses and costs associated with the AirSep acquisition that were recognized in the quarter, as well as the impact of Company’s Convertible Notes becoming eligible for conversion.

These adjusted earnings per share measures are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are referred to as “non-GAAP financial measures” in Regulation G under the Securities Act. The Company believes these adjusted earnings per share amounts are of interest to investors and facilitate useful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s financial results, and this information is used by the Company in evaluating internal performance.
