Earnings per share for the fourth quarter are targeted to be between $1.90 and $2.00, representing 14-20% growth over the prior year.

Certain statements contained in this presentation that are not historical facts, including any
statements as to future market conditions, results of operations and financial projections, are
forward-looking statements and are thus prospective. These forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially

information regarding such risks can be found in SPX’s SEC filings.
Although SPX believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are
