Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
1
Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Sotera Health,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this document refer to Sotera Health Company, a Delaware corporation, and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. This release contains forwardlooking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and reflects management’s expectations about future events and the Company’s operating plans and performance and speak only as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements present our 
current forecasts and estimates of future events. These statements do not strictly relate to historical or current results and can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “appear,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” 
“should,” “strategy,” “will” and other terms of similar meaning or import in connection with any discussion of future operating, financial or other performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors and actual results may differ materially from 
those results projected in the statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. These risks and uncertainties include, but 
are not limited to, a disruption in the availability or supply of, or increases in the price of, EO, Co-60 or our other direct materials, services and supplies, including as a result of geopolitical instability and/or sanctions against Russia by the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and/or the 
European Union; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; evolving changes in environmental, health and safety regulations or preferences, and general economic, social and business conditions; health and safety risks associated with the use, storage, transportation and disposal of 
potentially hazardous materials such as EO and Co-60; the impact and outcome of current and future legal proceedings and liability claims, including litigation related to the use, emissions and releases of EO from our facilities in California, Georgia, Illinois and New Mexico and the possibility 
that additional claims will be made in the future relating to these or other facilities; our ability to satisfy the conditions for settlement of the EO claims related to our former facility in Willowbrook, Illinois; allegations of our failure to properly perform services and potential product liability 
claims, recalls, penalties and reputational harm; compliance with the extensive regulatory requirements to which we are subject, the related costs, and any failures to receive or maintain, or delays in receiving, required clearances or approvals; adverse changes in industry trends; competition 
we face; market conditions and changes, including inflationary trends and the impact of tariffs, that impact our long-term supply contracts with variable price clauses and increase our cost of revenues; business continuity hazards, including supply chain disruptions and other risks associated 
with our operations; the risks of doing business internationally, including global and regional economic and political instability and compliance with various applicable laws and potentially inconsistent laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions; our ability to increase capacity at existing 
facilities, build new facilities in a timely and cost-effective manner and renew leases for our leased facilities; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; severe health events or environmental events; cybersecurity incidents, unauthorized data disclosures, and our dependence on 
information technology systems; an inability to pursue strategic transactions, find suitable acquisition targets, or integrate strategic acquisitions into our business successfully; our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; our reliance on intellectual property to 
maintain our competitive position and the risk of claims from third parties that we have infringed or misappropriated, or are infringing or misappropriating, their intellectual property rights; our ability to comply with rapidly evolving data privacy and security laws and regulations in various 
jurisdictions and any ineffective compliance efforts with such laws and regulations; our ability to generate profitability in future periods; impairment charges on our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, as well as other long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite 
lives; the effects of unionization efforts and labor regulations in countries in which we operate; adverse changes to our tax positions in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions or the interpretation and application of U.S. tax legislation or other changes in U.S. or non-U.S. taxation of our operations; and 
our significant leverage and how this significant leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital, limit our ability to react to challenges confronting our Company or broader changes in our industry or the economy, limit our flexibility in operating our business through 
restrictions contained in our debt agreements and/or prevent us from meeting our obligations under our existing and future agreements governing our indebtedness. For additional discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to the Company’s filings with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, such as its Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law. 
This presentation includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio, which are unaudited financial measures that are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed 
by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other 
companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
This presentation refers to, and in other communications with investors the Company may refer to, net sales or revenues or other historical financial information on a “constant currency” basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the Appendix to this presentation.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures as the principal measures of our operating performance. Management believes these measures allow management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without 
the impact of certain non-cash items and non-routine items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future and other items that are not core to our operations. We believe that these measures are useful to our investors because they provide a more complete understanding 
of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained without these measures and their disclosure. In addition, we believe these measures will assist investors in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our 
operations for the periods presented. Our management also uses these measurements in their financial analysis and operational decision-making and Adjusted EBITDA serves as the key metric for the attainment of our primary annual incentive program. These measures may be calculated 
differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, a similarly titled measure used by other companies.
The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items without unreasonable effort. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted 
EBITDA, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Net Leverage Ratio without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income, earnings per share and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be 
reasonably predicted at this time, including uncertainties caused by changes to the regulatory landscape, restructuring items and certain fair value measurements, all of which are potential adjustments for future earnings.
This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by the Company relating to market size and growth and other data about the Company’s industry and estimated total and serviceable addressable markets. This data involves a number of
assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified this market data. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry or similar data presented herein, such data involve risks and 
uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those described under the headings of “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the Company’s other SEC filings. In addition, 
projections, assumptions and estimates of the Company’s future performance and the future performance of the markets in which the Company operates are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.
The Sotera Health name, our logo and other trademarks mentioned in this presentation are the property of their respective owners. All Company data and financial information included in this presentation is as of June 30, 2025, unless otherwise stated.

2025 Outlook
15
On the following slides, Sotera Health presents an overview of its full-year 2025 outlook, including certain non-GAAP financial 
measures. As outlined in the Company’s August 8, 2025 press release, Sotera Health does not provide a reconciliation of the forwardlooking Adjusted EBITDA, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS to the most directly 
comparable GAAP measure, as this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to 
certain costs, including, among others, uncertainties caused by changes to the regulatory landscape, restructuring items and certain 
fair value measurements, all of which are potential adjustments for future earnings. The variability of these forward-looking items 
could have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions
28
• Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) before amortization and certain other adjustments that we do not consider in our 
evaluation of our ongoing operating performance from period to period.
• Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Income before interest expense, depreciation (including depreciation of Co-60 used in our 
operations) and income tax provision applicable to Adjusted Net Income.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.
• Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding.
• Net Debt is equal to our total debt net of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, less cash and cash equivalents.
• Net Leverage Ratio is equal to Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
• Segment income margin is equal to segment income divided by net segment revenues.
• We calculate constant currency (CC) net revenues by translating prior year net revenues in local currency at the average exchange 
rates applicable for the current period. The translated results are then used to determine year-over-year percentage increases or 
decreases. We generally refer to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign currency 
exchange rates.

    • 2. © 2025 Sotera Health Company | All Rights Reserved. Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures 1 Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Sotera Health,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this document refer to Sotera Health Company, a Delaware corporation, and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. This release contains forwardlooking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and reflects management’s expectations about future events and the Company’s operating plans and performance and speak only as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements present our current forecasts and estimates of future events. These statements do not strictly relate to historical or current results and can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “appear,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “will” and other terms of similar meaning or import in connection with any discussion of future operating, financial or other performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors and actual results may differ materially from those results projected in the statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, a disruption in the availability or supply of, or increases in the price of, EO, Co-60 or our other direct materials, services and supplies, including as a result of geopolitical instability and/or sanctions against Russia by the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and/or the European Union; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; evolving changes in environmental, health and safety regulations or preferences, and general economic, social and business conditions; health and safety risks associated with the use, storage, transportation and disposal of potentially hazardous materials such as EO and Co-60; the impact and outcome of current and future legal proceedings and liability claims, including litigation related to the use, emissions and releases of EO from our facilities in California, Georgia, Illinois and New Mexico and the possibility that additional claims will be made in the future relating to these or other facilities; our ability to satisfy the conditions for settlement of the EO claims related to our former facility in Willowbrook, Illinois; allegations of our failure to properly perform services and potential product liability claims, recalls, penalties and reputational harm; compliance with the extensive regulatory requirements to which we are subject, the related costs, and any failures to receive or maintain, or delays in receiving, required clearances or approvals; adverse changes in industry trends; competition we face; market conditions and changes, including inflationary trends and the impact of tariffs, that impact our long-term supply contracts with variable price clauses and increase our cost of revenues; business continuity hazards, including supply chain disruptions and other risks associated with our operations; the risks of doing business internationally, including global and regional economic and political instability and compliance with various applicable laws and potentially inconsistent laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions; our ability to increase capacity at existing facilities, build new facilities in a timely and cost-effective manner and renew leases for our leased facilities; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; severe health events or environmental events; cybersecurity incidents, unauthorized data disclosures, and our dependence on information technology systems; an inability to pursue strategic transactions, find suitable acquisition targets, or integrate strategic acquisitions into our business successfully; our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; our reliance on intellectual property to maintain our competitive position and the risk of claims from third parties that we have infringed or misappropriated, or are infringing or misappropriating, their intellectual property rights; our ability to comply with rapidly evolving data privacy and security laws and regulations in various jurisdictions and any ineffective compliance efforts with such laws and regulations; our ability to generate profitability in future periods; impairment charges on our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, as well as other long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite lives; the effects of unionization efforts and labor regulations in countries in which we operate; adverse changes to our tax positions in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions or the interpretation and application of U.S. tax legislation or other changes in U.S. or non-U.S. taxation of our operations; and our significant leverage and how this significant leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital, limit our ability to react to challenges confronting our Company or broader changes in our industry or the economy, limit our flexibility in operating our business through restrictions contained in our debt agreements and/or prevent us from meeting our obligations under our existing and future agreements governing our indebtedness. For additional discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as its Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law. This presentation includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio, which are unaudited financial measures that are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. This presentation refers to, and in other communications with investors the Company may refer to, net sales or revenues or other historical financial information on a “constant currency” basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the Appendix to this presentation. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as the principal measures of our operating performance. Management believes these measures allow management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without the impact of certain non-cash items and non-routine items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future and other items that are not core to our operations. We believe that these measures are useful to our investors because they provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained without these measures and their disclosure. In addition, we believe these measures will assist investors in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our operations for the periods presented. Our management also uses these measurements in their financial analysis and operational decision-making and Adjusted EBITDA serves as the key metric for the attainment of our primary annual incentive program. These measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, a similarly titled measure used by other companies. The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items without unreasonable effort. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Net Leverage Ratio without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income, earnings per share and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, including uncertainties caused by changes to the regulatory landscape, restructuring items and certain fair value measurements, all of which are potential adjustments for future earnings. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by the Company relating to market size and growth and other data about the Company’s industry and estimated total and serviceable addressable markets. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified this market data. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry or similar data presented herein, such data involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those described under the headings of “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the Company’s other SEC filings. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of the Company’s future performance and the future performance of the markets in which the Company operates are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

As outlined in the Company’s August 8, 2025 press release, Sotera Health does not provide a reconciliation of the forwardlooking Adjusted EBITDA, Tax Rate Applicable to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to certain costs, including, among others, uncertainties caused by changes to the regulatory landscape, restructuring items and certain fair value measurements, all of which are potential adjustments for future earnings. The variability of these forward-looking items could have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP results.

    • 29. © 2025 Sotera Health Company | All Rights Reserved. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions 28 • Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) before amortization and certain other adjustments that we do not consider in our evaluation of our ongoing operating performance from period to period. • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Income before interest expense, depreciation (including depreciation of Co-60 used in our operations) and income tax provision applicable to Adjusted Net Income. • Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues. • Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. • Net Debt is equal to our total debt net of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, less cash and cash equivalents. • Net Leverage Ratio is equal to Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. • Segment income margin is equal to segment income divided by net segment revenues. • We calculate constant currency (CC) net revenues by translating prior year net revenues in local currency at the average exchange rates applicable for the current period. The translated results are then used to determine year-over-year percentage increases or decreases. We generally refer to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates.
