This Presentation includes certain additional key performance indicators which are considered non-IFRS financial measures including, but not limited to, organic revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EPS growth, Adjusted EBITDA growth, Adjusted EPS growth, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion. Nomad Foods believes these non-IFRS financial measures provide an important alternative measure with which to monitor and evaluate the Company’s ongoing financial results, as well as to reflect its acquisitions. Nomad Foods’ calculation of these financial measures maybe different from the calculations used by other companies and comparability may therefore be limited. You should not consider the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures an alternative or substitute for the Company’s reported results. For a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures, refer to the Appendix to this Presentation. The Company is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable IFRS measures. 2CAGNY 2023

2 The following tables have been included to allow users to reconcile Non-IFRS financial measures as well as Adjusted financial information included within this presentation to reported IFRS financial measures. 1. Definitions of Non-IFRS financial measures referred to in this presentation. 2. Reconciliation of reported to organic revenue growth/(decline). 3. Reconciliation of Non-IFRS financial measures. Contents

 

1. Definitions of Non-IFRS financial measures referred to in this presentation 3 Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company’s reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results. The non-IFRS financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, IFRS financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this document. Adjusted EBITDA – EBITDA is profit or loss for the period before taxation, net financing costs, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items to the extent included in our financial statements such as material restructuring charges, material goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, other material unusual or non-recurring items, as well as additional items that management deems to be exceptional and appropriate for adjustment. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted Profit for the period is defined as profit for the period excluding, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, unissued preferred share dividends, as well as certain other items considered unusual or non-recurring in nature. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted Profit after tax provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted EPS - Adjusted EPS is defined as basic earnings per share excluding, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items to the extent included in our financial statements such as material restructuring charges, material goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, unissued preferred share dividends, other material unusual or non-recurring items, as well as additional items that management deems to be exceptional and appropriate for adjustment. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted EPS provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted Financial Information – Adjusted financial information presented in this presentation reflects the historical reported financial statements of Nomad Foods, adjusted for share based payment charges including employer payroll taxes, exceptional items (as described above) and non-cash foreign currency translation charges/gain. Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline) – Organic revenue growth/(decline) is an adjusted measurement of our operating results. This comparison of current and prior period performance takes into consideration only those activities that were in effect during both time periods. Organic revenue reflects reported revenue adjusted for currency translation and non-comparable trading items such as expansion, acquisitions, disposals, closures, trading day impacts or any other event that artificially impact the comparability of our results. Adjusted Free Cash Flow – Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of cash generated from operating activities before cash flows related to exceptional items (as described above), non-operating M&A related costs and working capital movements on employer taxes associated with share based payment awards, but after capital expenditure (on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets), net interest paid, proceeds/ (payments) on settlement of derivatives where hedge accounting is not applied and payments of lease liabilities. Adjusted free cash flow reflects cash flows that could be used for payment of dividends, repayment of debt or to fund acquisitions or other strategic objectives.
