Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share

Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per common share are non-GAAP measures because they exclude the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation and items that are considered by management to be non-operational, including asset impairment charges. The following table shows a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Methanex shareholders to Adjusted net income and the calculation of Adjusted net income per common share:

                                                  Three Months Ended                                           ---------------------------------($ millions except number of shares and per   Mar 31      Dec 31     Mar 31 share amounts)                                  2013       2012       2012--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Net income (loss) attributable to Methanex shareholders                                $     60   $   (140)  $     22  Mark-to-market impact of share-based   compensation                                    31          8         18  Asset impairment charge                           -        297          -  Income tax expense (recovery) related to   above items                                     (3)      (104)        (1)----------------------------------------------------------------------------Adjusted net income                          $     88   $     61   $     39----------------------------------------------------------------------------Diluted weighted average shares outstanding        96         94         95Adjusted net income per common share (1)     $   0.92   $   0.64   $   0.41----------------------------------------------------------------------------(1) For the three months ended December 31, 2012, stock options have beenexcluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share(attributable to Methanex shareholders) as their effect would be anti-dilutive. However, for the calculation of adjusted net income per commonshare (attributable to Methanex shareholders) stock options have beenincluded in the denominator and the diluted weighted average number ofcommon shares is 95 million.


Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities (attributable to Methanex shareholders)

Adjusted cash flows from operating activities differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, cash flows from operating activities, because it includes cash flows associated with our 63.1% equity share of the Atlas facility and does not include cash flows associated with the 40% non-controlling interest in the methanol facility in Egypt or changes in non-cash working capital.

The following table shows a reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities to adjusted cash flows from operating activities:
