On January 14, 2010, Hillenbrand, Inc. posted the following investor presentation to its website at http://ir.hillenbrandinc.com.  This investor presentation represents an amended version of the investor presentation posted on the Hillenbrand, Inc. website on January 11, 2010 and filed on the Schedule 14A filed by Hillenbrand, Inc. dated January 11, 2010:


 
 

 
 
 

 
Certain statements in this presentation contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding the
company’s future plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, representations and projections. The company has tried, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking
statements using words such as “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “encourage,” “expect,” “may,” “goal,” “become,” “pursue,” “estimate,” “strategy,” “will,”
“projection,” “forecast,” “continue,” “accelerate,” “promise,” “increase,” “higher,” “lower,” “reduce,” “improve,” “expand,” “progress,” “potential” or the negative of
those terms or other variations of them or by comparable terminology. The absence of such terms, however, does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. It is
important to note that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and the company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth in
any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: the company’s ongoing
antitrust litigation; the company’s dependence on its relationships with several large national providers; continued fluctuations in mortality rates and increased cremations;
ongoing involvement in claims, lawsuits and governmental proceedings related to operations; failure of the company’s announced strategic initiatives to achieve expected
growth, efficiencies or cost reductions; disruptions in the company’s business or other adverse consequences resulting from the separation of Hillenbrand Industries into
two operating companies; failure of the company to execute its acquisition and business alliance strategy through the consummation and successful integration of
acquisitions (such as the acquisition of K-Tron International, Inc.) or entry into joint ventures or other business alliances; competition from nontraditional sources in the
funeral services business; volatility of the company’s investment portfolio; increased costs or unavailability of raw materials; labor disruptions; the ability to retain
executive officers and other key personnel; and certain tax-related matters. For a more in-depth discussion of these and other factors that could cause actual results to
differ from those contained in forward-looking statements, see the discussions under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1 of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended September 30, 2009, filed November 24, 2009. The company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information.

Closing Conditions
Timing
Hillenbrand, Inc. to acquire K-Tron International, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTII) for 100%
cash consideration
 The net purchase price associated with this transaction is approximately $390
 million based on equity purchase price of $435 million and a net cash balance at
 10/3/09 of approximately $45 million. This net purchase price implies a
 multiple of 10.3x EBITDA
 Upon completion of the transaction, Hillenbrand stockholders would own 100%

Transaction Rationale
 Hillenbrand’s sole operating unit, Batesville Casket, remains a high-margin cash generator
 with a leading brand and excellent management
 However, revenue growth is historically challenging in death care and has been even more
 challenging in the current economic environment
 Therefore, our strategy focuses on effective high value opportunities for our robust cash flow,
 creating a strong and enduring enterprise outside death care
 Through disciplined due diligence, we identified K-Tron International, a well-run company
 with excellent financials, that will provide growth and diversification and maintain our strong
 financial profile
 To fund this acquisition, we will utilize a combination of existing and potentially new (if
 needed) credit and cash-on-hand
 
 

 
Strategic Benefits
 
 

 
Its the Right Acquisition
 $435MM cash purchase ($390MM net purchase price) provides approximately $200MM

 Attractive product, industry and customer diversification
 Creates sizable new global platforms in two attractive sectors
 Ideal fit with Hillenbrand’s stringent acquisition criteria

K-Tron International Is Strongly Positioned to Weather the
Current Economic Downturn and Thrive Post Recession
  K-Tron revenues declined in the first nine months of 2009 by $30.2 MM, or 17%,
 compared to the same period in 2008
  A significant component of the revenue decline was K-Trons Process Group
 plastics business, which was impacted when automotive and other end customers
 were hurt by the
great recession
  However, revenues in the Size Reduction Group increased during the year,
 buffering the decline in plastics
  We believe the strength of K-Trons brands was, and will continue to be, critical to its
 ability to outperform their markets in economic downturns
  K-Tron has a large installed base that generates recurring replacement parts business,
 thereby softening the impact of economic downturns in the capital equipment business
  As the economy strengthens, K-Tron is in a strong position to grow revenues in both
 base businesses and potential add-on business lines

Death Care Industry Is Stable, but Challenges Remain
 Cost conscious consumers have been mixing down, opting for less expensive caskets
 It remains to be seen whether the severe economic downturn will cause lasting pricing
 repercussions
 Slow and steady increases in cremations have reduced burials in a flat death market
 While projected deaths will increase at some point as baby boomers age, this will likely
 be offset by continued increases in cremations
  Cremations are projected to grow steadily at 1.2% annually as a percentage of total
 deaths
 Market share may be under pressure, as new entrants and Chinese imports continue to
 compete
 Significant increases in the prices of raw materials that cannot be recovered through
 increases in the price of our products could adversely affect our results of operations and

Hillenbrand, Inc. - Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures and
Reconciliations for 2009 Actual and 2010 Guidance
(Unaudited) (Excluding K-Tron International)
While Hillenbrand, Inc. reports financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release includes non-GAAP
measures. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Hillenbrand
uses the non-GAAP measures to evaluate and manage its operations and provides the information to investors so they can see
the results “through the eyes” of management. Hillenbrand further believes that providing this information better enables
investors to understand the ongoing operating performance of the company. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in
addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
