Safe Harbor Statement

Forward Looking Statements: This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and applicable Canadian securities laws reflecting management’s current expectations regarding
future results of operations, economic performance and financial condition. Forward-looking statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to materially differ from
current expectations. These risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in the Company's
securities filings. The information set forth herein should be considered in light of such risks and
uncertainties. Certain material factors or assumptions were applied in drawing conclusions or making
forecasts or projections reflected in the forward-looking information. Additional information about the
material factors or assumptions applied in drawing conclusions or making forecasts or projections
reflected in the forward-looking information is available in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 28, 2013, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other periodic
reports filed with the securities commission. The company does not, except as expressly required by
applicable law, assume any obligation to update the information contained in this presentation.
NON-GAAP Measurers: To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with
GAAP, Cott utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Cott utilizes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to
separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business. Because Cott uses these adjusted
financial results in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information
is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Cott’s underlying business
performance and the performance of its management. Additionally, Cott supplements its reporting of
net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding capital
expenditures, which management believes provides useful information to investors about the amount of
cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, can be used for
strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and
strengthening the balance sheet. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to,
and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Cott’s financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation
reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not
be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-
GAAP measures may be found on www.cott.com, as well as on the Appendix of this presentation.
