1.Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements
Business
nVent Electric plc ("nVent," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of electrical connection and protection solutions. The Company is comprised of two reporting segments: Systems Protection and Electrical Connections.
The Company was incorporated in Ireland on May 30, 2017. Although our jurisdiction of organization is Ireland, we manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") and have tax residency in the U.K.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of nVent have been prepared following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") can be condensed or omitted.
We are responsible for the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of those for a full year. We may experience changes in customer demand or constrained supply that could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and overall financial performance in future periods.
On July 31, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Thermal Management business to BCP VI Summit Holdings LP (as assignee of BCP Acquisitions LLC), an affiliate of funds managed by Brookfield Asset Management. As a result of the agreement, the Thermal Management business met the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20 to be presented as a discontinued operation and the related assets and liabilities have been reclassified as held for sale for all periods presented. The Thermal Management business was previously disclosed as a stand-alone reporting segment. The Thermal Management business' results of operations and the related cash flows have been reclassified to Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and cash flows from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, for all periods presented prior to the sale. We completed the sale of the Thermal Management business on January 30, 2025. For additional information regarding this transaction and its effect on our financial reporting, see Note 6 below.
New accounting standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses. It requires public entities to disaggregate specific types of expenses, including disclosures for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as well as selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on the related disclosures within our consolidated financial statements.

2.Revenue
Disaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by geographic location and vertical, as we believe these best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The $39.9 million decrease in net contract liabilities from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025 was primarily the result of the acquisition of the enclosures, switchgear and bus systems businesses of Avail Infrastructure Solutions (the "Electrical Products Group") and the timing of milestone invoicing. The majority of our contract liabilities at December 31, 2024 were recognized in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. There were no

Remaining performance obligations
We have elected the practical expedient to disclose only the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or more. On September 30, 2025, we had $827.7 million of remaining performance obligations on contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more. We expect to recognize the majority of our remaining performance obligations on these contracts within the next eighteen months .
3.Restructuring
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, we initiated and continued execution of certain business restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and realigning our business.
Restructuring related costs included in Selling, general and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income included costs for severance and other restructuring costs as follows:

5. Acquisitions
Electrical Products Group Acquisition
On May 1, 2025, we acquired the Electrical Products Group for a purchase price of $978.7 million in cash. The Electrical Products Group is a leading provider of infrastructure solutions, designed to help ensure safe and reliable electrical operations primarily in the infrastructure vertical, including power utilities and data centers. We funded the purchase price for the acquisition with available cash on hand.
The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Electrical Products Group acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to further refinement and may require significant adjustments to arrive at the final purchase price allocation. These changes will primarily relate to impacts associated with income taxes and other accruals. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation.

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
The following table summarizes our preliminary estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Electrical Products Group acquisition previously reported as of June 30, 2025 and revised as of September 30, 2025:
| In millions | As Previously Reported | As Revised | ||||||
| Accounts receivable | $ | $ | ||||||
| Inventories | ||||||||

| Identifiable intangible assets | ||||||||
| Goodwill | ||||||||
| Other assets | ||||||||
| Current liabilities | ( | ( | ||||||
| Other liabilities | ( | ( | ||||||
| Purchase price | $ | $ | ||||||
The excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill in the amount of $440.9 million, substantially all of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill recognized from the Electrical Products Group acquisition reflects the future economic benefit resulting from synergies of our combined operations.
Preliminary identifiable intangible assets acquired include $325.2 million of definite-lived customer relationships with estimated useful lives of 16 and 20 years, $32.8 million of definite-lived proprietary technologies with estimated useful lives of 8 years and $75.8 million of customer backlog with estimated useful lives of approximately 3 years. The fair values of proprietary technologies acquired in the acquisition were determined using a relief-from-royalty method, and the fair values of customer relationships and customer backlog acquired were determined using a multi-period excess earnings method. These methods utilize unobservable inputs that are significant to these fair value measurements and thus classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Electrical Products Group net sales and operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $127.2 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Electrical Products Group net sales and operating income for the period from the acquisition date to September 30, 2025 were $205.7 million and $26.0 million, respectively. Electrical Products Group operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes $13.6 million and $21.3 million of identifiable intangible asset amortization expense, respectively.
Trachte Acquisition
On July 16, 2024, as part of our Systems Protection reporting segment, we completed the acquisition of Trachte, LLC ("Trachte") for approximately $687.5 million in cash. Trachte is a leading manufacturer of engineered control building solutions designed to protect critical infrastructure assets. The purchase price was funded primarily through borrowings under the 2024 Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (as described in Note 10 below).
The purchase price has been allocated based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Trachte acquisition. The purchase price allocation was completed in the second quarter of 2025.

The excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill in the amount of $368.9 million, substantially none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill recognized from the Trachte acquisition reflects the future economic benefit resulting from synergies of our combined operations.
Identifiable intangible assets acquired include $55.4 million of indefinite-lived trade names, $206.6 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 17 years, $23.8 million of definite-lived proprietary technology with an estimated useful life of 8 years and $45.7 million of customer backlog with an estimated useful life of 2 years. The fair values of trade names and proprietary technology acquired in the acquisition were determined using a relief-from-royalty method, and the fair values of customer relationships and customer backlog acquired were determined using a multi-period excess earnings method. These methods utilize unobservable inputs that are significant to these fair value measurements and thus classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information as if the acquisitions of Electrical Products Group and Trachte had occurred on January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2023, respectively:

They do not reflect the effect of costs or synergies that would have been expected to result from the integration of the Electrical Products Group and Trachte acquisitions. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the Electrical Products Group and Trachte acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2023, respectively.
6.Discontinued Operations
On January 30, 2025, we completed the sale of the Thermal Management business to BCP VI Summit Holdings LP (as assignee of BCP Acquisitions LLC), an affiliate of funds managed by Brookfield Asset Management, for a purchase price of $1.7 billion in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, resulting in cash proceeds, net of transaction costs and cash transferred, of $1,585.1 million. The results of the Thermal Management business have been presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of this business have been presented as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Thermal Management business was previously disclosed as a stand-alone reporting segment.
The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $435.3 million, net of transaction costs of $32.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Provision for income taxes below of $158.0 million predominately relates to tax expense on the gain on sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Transaction costs of $12.6 million and $21.2 million related to the sale of Thermal Management were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively and are recorded within Selling, general and administrative below.

9.Derivatives and Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility related to this exposure, we periodically enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments. Our objective is to reduce, where it is deemed appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The derivative contracts contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The amount of such credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains, if any, in such contracts. Such risk is minimized by limiting those counterparties to major financial institutions of high credit quality.
Foreign currency contracts
We conduct business in various locations throughout the world and are subject to market risk due to changes in the value of foreign currencies. We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain market-based risks through the use of derivative instruments. These derivative instruments primarily consist of forward foreign currency contracts used to mitigate foreign currency exposure for certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. Our objective in holding these derivatives is to reduce the volatility in net earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency rates. The majority of our foreign currency contracts have an original maturity date of less than one year. These foreign currency contracts are not designated as hedging instruments; accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in current period earnings.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $121.2 million and $73.8 million, respectively. The impact of these contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income was not material for any period presented.
Cross currency swaps
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding cross currency swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $360.3 million and $321.1 million, respectively. The agreements are accounted for as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges, to hedge foreign currency fluctuations on certain intercompany debt, or as net investment hedges, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had deferred foreign currency loss of $0.8 million and gain of $0.7 million, respectively, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cross currency swap activity.
Fair value of financial instruments
The following methods were used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instrument:
•short-term financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable and variable-rate debt) — recorded amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity period;
•long-term fixed-rate debt, including current maturities — fair value is based on market quotes available for issuance of debt with similar terms, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance;
•cross currency swap and foreign currency contract agreements — fair values are determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are observable inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance; and
•deferred compensation plan assets (mutual funds, common/collective trusts and cash equivalents for payment of certain non-qualified benefits for retired, terminated and active employees) — fair value of mutual funds and cash equivalents are based on quoted market prices in active markets that are classified as Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance; fair value of common/collective trusts are valued at net asset value ("NAV"), which is based on the fair value of underlying securities owned by the fund divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Senior notes
In March 2018, nVent Finance S.à r.l. (“nVent Finance” or "Subsidiary Issuer"), a 100-percent owned subsidiary of nVent, issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.550 % senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes").
In November 2021, nVent Finance issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.750 % senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes").
In May 2023, to finance the acquisition of ECM Industries, nVent Finance issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.650 % Senior Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes, the "Notes").
Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and interest on the 2031 Notes and 2033 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment by nVent (the "Parent Company Guarantor"). There are no subsidiaries that guarantee the Notes. The Parent Company Guarantor is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries and the issuance of the Notes and other external debt. The Parent Company Guarantor’s principal source of cash flow, including cash flow to make payments on the Notes pursuant to the guarantees, is dividends from its subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer’s principal source of cash flow is interest income from its subsidiaries. None of the subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer is under any direct obligation to pay or otherwise fund amounts due on the Notes or the guarantees, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, there may be statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends from certain subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer. If such subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer and sufficient cash or liquidity is not otherwise available, the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer may not be able to make principal and interest payments on their outstanding debt, including the Notes or the guarantees.
The Notes constitute general unsecured senior obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. The guarantees of the Notes by the Parent Company Guarantor constitute general unsecured obligations of the Parent Company Guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. Subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued contains covenants that, among other things, restrict nVent’s, nVent Finance’s and certain subsidiaries’ ability to merge or consolidate with another person, create liens or engage in sale and lease-back transactions.
There are no significant restrictions on the ability of nVent to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of nVent or its subsidiaries represents restricted net assets pursuant to the guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Senior credit facilities
In September 2021, nVent and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "2021 Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2021 Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. In 2025, nVent repaid the remainder of the borrowings on the 2021 Term Loan Facility.
In June 2025, nVent and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $275.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2025 Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the 2025 Term Loan Facility, the "Senior Credit Facilities"). The Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety the 2021 Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted from time to time during the full five-year term of the Revolving Credit Facility. nVent Finance has the option to request to increase the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders.
As of September 30, 2025, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $569.6 million.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate, the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”), Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) or, solely

nVent Electric plc
Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
for swingline loans denominated in Euros, the Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on, at nVent Finance’s election, nVent's net leverage ratio or public debt rating.
In April 2023, nVent and nVent Finance entered into a loan agreement providing for another unsecured term loan facility of $300.0 million for five years (the "2023 Term Loan Facility"), which was used to fund the acquisition of ECM Industries. In 2025, nVent repaid the remainder of the borrowings on the 2023 Term Loan Facility.
In June 2024, nVent and nVent Finance entered into a loan agreement providing for an additional senior unsecured term loan facility of $500.0 million for two years (the "2024 Term Loan Facility"). In July 2024, nVent partially financed the acquisition of Trachte using the 2024 Term Loan Facility. In 2025, nVent repaid the remainder of the borrowings on the 2024 Term Loan Facility.
Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which are in the Senior Credit Facilities, including that we may not permit (i) the ratio of our consolidated debt (net of our consolidated unrestricted cash in excess of $5.0 million but not to exceed $250.0 million) to our consolidated net income (excluding, among other things, non-cash gains and losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation expense ("EBITDA") on the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (each a "testing period") to exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (or, at nVent Finance's election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions) and (ii) the ratio of our EBITDA to our consolidated interest expense for the same period to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. In addition, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the Senior Credit Facilities also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to create liens, merge or consolidate with another person, make acquisitions and incur subsidiary debt. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt agreements, and there is no material uncertainty about our ongoing ability to meet those covenants.

11.Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 20.6 % compared to 22.1 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The liability for uncertain tax positions was $11.6 million and $11.7 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We record penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for income taxes and Net interest expense, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, which is consistent with our past practices.
12.Shareholders' Equity
Share repurchases
On May 14, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $300.0 million (the "2021 Authorization"). The 2021 Authorization expired on July 22, 2024.
On May 17, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $500.0 million (the "2024 Authorization"). The 2024 Authorization began on July 23, 2024, following the expiration of the 2021 Authorization, and expires on July 22, 2027.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 4.8 million of our ordinary shares for $253.1 million under the 2024 Authorization. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 1.5 million of our ordinary shares for $100.0 million under the 2024 Authorization and we did not repurchase ordinary shares under the 2021 Authorization.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $146.9 million available for share repurchases under the 2024 Authorization.

Dividends payable
On September 22, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per ordinary share payable on November 7, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 17, 2025. The balance of dividends payable included in Other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $32.8 million and $33.9 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
13.Segment Information
Our continuing operations are comprised of two reporting segments: Systems Protection and Electrical Connections. In the first quarter of 2025, we renamed our Enclosures segment to Systems Protection, and our Electrical & Fastening Solutions segment to Electrical Connections.
"Enterprise and other" activity primarily consists of enterprise expenses not allocated to the segments, including certain executive office, board of directors, and centrally-managed enterprise functional or shared service costs related to finance, human resources, legal, supply chain, digital and corporate development. These activities do not meet the criteria for a stand-alone reporting segment under ASC 280.
The accounting policies of our reporting segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company's primary measure of segment profitability is reportable segment income. Reportable segment income represents operating income, which includes certain corporate overhead allocations, and is exclusive of intangible amortization, acquisition related costs, costs of restructuring activities, "mark-to-market" gain/loss for pension and other post-retirement plans, impairments and other unusual non-operating items.
nVent's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our chief executive officer. This presentation is consistent with how the CODM evaluates the results of operations and makes strategic decisions about the business. The CODM uses reportable segment income for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, as well as internal forecasting of future period financial results. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
Net sales and significant expense categories to arrive at our measure of segment profitability by reportable segment were as follows:

In the first quarter of 2025, we issued our annual share-based compensation grants under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan to eligible employees. The total number of awards issued was approximately 0.8 million, of which 0.3 million were restricted stock units ("RSUs"), 0.2 million were performance share units ("PSUs") and 0.3 million were stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the RSUs, PSUs and stock options issued was $56.35 , $59.17 and $22.05 , respectively.

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
We estimated the fair value of each stock option award issued in the annual share-based compensation grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, modified for dividends, and using the following assumptions:
| 2025 Annual Grant | |||||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | ||||
| Expected dividend yield | % | ||||
| Expected share price volatility | % | ||||
| Expected term (years) | |||||
These estimates require us to make assumptions based on historical results, observance of trends in our share price, changes in option exercise behaviors, future expectations and other relevant factors. If other assumptions had been used, share-based compensation expense, as calculated and recorded under the accounting guidance, could have been affected.
We based the expected life assumption on historical experience as well as the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. For purposes of determining expected volatility, we considered historical volatilities of peer companies over a period approximately equal to the expected option term. The risk-free rate for periods that coincide with the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury Department yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
15.Commitments and Contingencies
Warranties and guarantees
In connection with the disposition of our businesses or product lines, we may agree to indemnify purchasers for various potential liabilities relating to the sold business, such as pre-closing tax, product liability, warranty, environmental, or other obligations. The subject matter, amounts and duration of any such indemnification obligations vary for each type of liability indemnified and may vary widely from transaction to transaction.
Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.
We provide service and warranty policies on our products. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience warrant. Our liability for service and product warranties as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was not material.
Stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees and bonds
In the ordinary course of business, we are required to commit to bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees that require payments to our customers for any non-performance. The outstanding face value of these instruments fluctuates with the value of our projects in process and in our backlog. In addition, we issue financial stand-by letters of credit primarily to secure our performance to third parties under self-insurance programs.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding value of bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees totaled $58.8 million and $10.7 million, respectively.

Overview
The terms "us," "we," "our," "the Company" or "nVent" refer to nVent Electric plc. nVent is a leading global provider of electrical connection and protection solutions. We believe our inventive electrical solutions enable safer systems and ensure a more secure world. We connect and protect some of the world's most critical electrical systems to make them safer, more efficient and resilient. We design, manufacture, market, install and service high performance products and solutions that connect and protect mission critical equipment, buildings and essential processes. We have a comprehensive portfolio of cable management, control buildings, cooling solutions, both liquid and air, electrical connections, enclosures, equipment protection, power connections and power management solutions, and we are recognized globally for quality, reliability and innovation.
We classify our operations into business segments based primarily on types of products offered and markets served. We operate across two segments: Systems Protection and Electrical Connections, which represented approximately 66% and 34% of total revenues during the first nine months of 2025, respectively. In the first quarter of 2025, we renamed our Enclosures segment to Systems Protection, and our Electrical & Fastening Solutions segment to Electrical Connections.
•Systems Protection—The Systems Protection segment provides innovative solutions to help protect electronics, systems and data in mission critical applications, including data centers, that improve resiliency and energy efficiency. Our standard and custom protective enclosures, cooling solutions, both liquid and air, control buildings and power distribution solutions help protect operating environments for mission critical applications in industrial, infrastructure, commercial and energy verticals.
•Electrical Connections—The Electrical Connections segment provides innovative solutions that connect power and data infrastructure. Our offerings enhance end-user safety, reduce installation time and provide resiliency for critical systems. Our cable management, electrical connections and solutions, and power connections help make electrical systems safe, efficient and resilient, and are used across a wide range of verticals, including commercial and residential, infrastructure, industrial and energy.
On July 16, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Trachte, LLC ("Trachte") as part of our Systems Protection reporting segment, for approximately $687.5 million in cash. Trachte is a leading manufacturer of engineered control building solutions designed to protect critical infrastructure assets. The purchase price was funded primarily through borrowings under the 2024 Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).
27
On January 30, 2025, we completed the sale of Thermal Management business to BCP VI Summit Holdings LP (as assignee of BCP Acquisitions LLC), an affiliate of funds managed by Brookfield Asset Management, for $1.59 billion in net cash proceeds, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. The results of the Thermal Management business have been presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of this business have been reclassified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented prior to the sale. The Thermal Management business was previously disclosed as a stand-alone reporting segment.
On May 1, 2025, we completed the acquisition of the enclosures, switchgear and bus systems businesses of Avail Infrastructure Solutions (the "Electrical Products Group") for approximately $978.7 million. We funded the purchase price for the acquisition with available cash on hand. The Electrical Products Group is a leading provider of infrastructure solutions, designed to help ensure safe and reliable electrical operations primarily in the infrastructure vertical, including power utilities and data centers. We operate the Electrical Products Group predominantly within our Systems Protection reporting segment.
Key Trends and Uncertainties Regarding our Existing Business
The following trends and uncertainties affected our financial performance in 2024 and the first nine months of 2025 and will likely impact our results in the future:
•During 2024 and the first nine months of 2025, we have experienced general inflationary increases, primarily related to labor, transportation and raw material costs. In addition, we continue to monitor and evaluate recently implemented tariffs, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs, including with respect to China. We anticipate increased supply chain challenges, inflationary cost increases, and economic uncertainty due to the rapid changes in global trade policies. The effects from new tariffs imposed in the first nine months of 2025 did not have a material impact on our financial results during the first nine months of 2025 due to mitigating actions. We have taken pricing actions, and may take additional going forward, and implemented, and plan to continue to implement, supply chain optimization and other productivity improvements that have helped, and could continue to help, offset expected cost increases. Given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of tariffs and other changes in trade policies, the potential impact remains uncertain, but we expect inflationary cost increases, including impacts related to tariffs, to continue throughout 2025 and beyond, which could negatively impact our results of operations.
•Our global operations make our effective tax rate sensitive to significant tax law changes. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development introduced an international tax framework under Pillar II (the "Pillar II framework") which includes a global minimum tax of 15%. The Pillar II framework has been implemented by several jurisdictions, including jurisdictions in which we operate, with effect from January 1, 2024, which resulted in an increase to our effective tax rate. Countries continue to announce changes in their tax laws and regulations based on the Pillar II framework. While we continue to evaluate the impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available, uncertainty remains regarding the timing and interpretation by tax authorities in affected jurisdictions. Additionally, on July 4, 2025, the U.S. Congress enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including tax cut extensions and modifications to the international tax framework. We are reviewing the tax provisions included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and assessing their impact, but do not currently expect a material impact to our effective tax rate in 2025 or future periods.
•The converging megatrends of the electrification of everything, sustainability and digitalization, including the increased use of artificial intelligence, have led to sales growth, particularly in the infrastructure vertical, which includes our data solutions business that is primarily in our Systems Protection segment. We expect these megatrends to continue and drive sales growth throughout 2025 and beyond.
•We have invested in innovation and new products, which has contributed to sales growth. We expect continued investment in new products to further drive sales growth throughout 2025 and beyond.
In 2025, our operating objectives include the following:
•Executing our sustainability strategy focused on People, Products, Planet and Governance;
•Enhancing and supporting employee engagement, development and retention;
•Achieving differentiated revenue growth through focus on higher growth verticals, new products and innovation, global expansion and acquisitions;
•Integrating recent acquisitions with our existing operations;
•Optimizing our technological capabilities to increasingly generate innovative new and connected products and advance digital transformation;
•Driving operational excellence through lean and agile, with specific focus on our digital transformation and supply chain resiliency;
28
•Optimizing working capital through inventory reduction initiatives across business segments and focused actions to optimize customer and vendor payment terms; and
•Deploying capital strategically to drive growth and value creation.

Net sales
The components of the change in consolidated net sales from the prior period were as follows:
| Three months ended September 30, 2025 | Nine months ended September 30, 2025 | |||||||

| Acquisition | 17.8 | 16.1 | ||||||
| Currency | 1.0 | 0.4 | ||||||
| Total | 34.8 | % | 25.4 | % | ||||
The 34.8 and 25.4 percent increases in net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 from 2024, respectively, were primarily the result of:
•sales of $139.1 million and $363.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, as a result of the Trachte and Electrical Products Group acquisitions; and
•organic sales growth contribution of approximately 14.0% and 9.0% from our infrastructure business in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 from 2024, respectively.
Gross profit
The 2.4 and 2.2 percentage point decreases in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 from 2024, respectively, were primarily the result of:
•inflationary increases, including the impacts related to tariffs, primarily related to raw materials and labor costs, compared to 2024; and
•investments in capacity to drive growth.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•higher sales volume resulting in increased leverage on fixed expenses; and
•increased productivity as a result of supply chain management and manufacturing efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A")
The 1.0 percentage point decrease and 0.2 percentage point increase in SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 from 2024, respectively, were primarily the result of:
•organic sales growth resulting in increased leverage on fixed expenses; and
•savings generated from restructuring and other productivity initiatives.
These changes were partially offset in the third quarter of 2025 from 2024, and more than offset in the first nine months of 2025 from 2024, by:
•intangible amortization expense of $41.9 million and $106.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to $26.8 million and $66.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, as a result of the Trachte and Electrical Products Group acquisitions;
•inflationary increases impacting our labor costs, professional fees and other administrative costs; and
•investments in capacity, new products and digital to drive growth.
Net interest expense
The decreases in net interest expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 from 2024 were primarily the result of:
•interest income earned on the cash proceeds from the sale of the Thermal Management business.
31
Provision for income taxes
The 4.8 and 1.5 percentage point decreases in the effective tax rate in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 from 2024, respectively, were primarily the result of:
•a $3.2 million non-cash benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets recorded in the third quarter of 2025.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $278.7 million in the first nine months of 2025 was primarily the result of:
•the gain on the sale of the Thermal Management business, net of transaction costs, of $435.3 million, partially offset by tax expense recorded as a result of the sale of $156.0 million.
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The summary that follows provides a discussion of the results of operations of each of our two reportable segments (Systems Protection and Electrical Connections). Each of these segments comprises various product offerings that serve multiple end users.
We evaluate performance based on net sales and reportable segment income ("segment income") and use a variety of ratios to measure performance of our reporting segments. Segment income represents operating income, which includes certain corporate overhead allocations, and is exclusive of intangible amortization, acquisition related costs, costs of restructuring activities, "mark-to-market" gain/loss for pension, impairments and other unusual non-operating items.

The primary source of liquidity for our business is cash flows provided by operations. We expect to continue to have cash requirements to support working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest and service debt and to pay dividends to shareholders quarterly. We believe we have the ability and sufficient capacity to meet these cash requirements by using available cash, internally generated funds and borrowing under committed credit facilities. We are focused on increasing our cash flow, while continuing to fund our research and development, sales and marketing and capital investment initiatives. Our intent is to maintain investment grade metrics and a solid liquidity position. As of September 30, 2025, we had $126.9 million of cash on hand, of which $67.1 million is held in certain countries in which the ability to repatriate is limited due to local regulations or significant potential tax consequences.
We experience seasonal cash flows primarily due to increased demand for Electrical Connections products during the spring and summer months in the Northern Hemisphere.
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $426.6 million in the first nine months of 2025, which primarily reflects net income, net of non-cash depreciation, amortization and changes in deferred taxes, of $461.2 million, partially offset by a $68.1 million increase in net working capital. The increase in working capital is primarily attributed to accounts receivable driven by the overall increase and timing of sales.
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $324.1 million in the first nine months of 2024, which primarily reflects net income, net of non-cash depreciation, amortization and changes in deferred taxes, of $362.1 million, partially offset by a $60.3 million increase in net working capital.
Investing activities
Net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations of $1,029.8 million in the first nine months of 2025 relates primarily to cash paid for the Electrical Products Group acquisition of $978.7 million and capital expenditures of $56.6 million. Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations of $1,584.5 million in the first nine months of 2025 primarily relates to the proceeds from the sale of the Thermal Management business, net of transaction costs and cash transferred.
Net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations of $724.7 million in the first nine months of 2024 relates primarily to cash paid for the Trachte acquisition of $677.7 million, net of cash acquired, and capital expenditures of $47.5 million.
34
Financing activities
Net cash used for financing activities from continuing operations of $909.6 million in the first nine months of 2025 relates primarily to repayments of long-term debt of $869.7 million, share repurchases of $253.1 million and dividends paid of $98.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from long-term debt of $275.0 million and net receipts of revolving credit facility of $30.4 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations of $278.1 million in the first nine months of 2024 relates primarily to receipts of long-term debt of $500.0 million, partially offset by share repurchases of $100.0 million and dividends paid of $95.3 million.
Senior notes
In March 2018, nVent Finance S.à r.l. (“nVent Finance” or "Subsidiary Issuer"), a 100-percent owned subsidiary of nVent, issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.550% senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes").
In November 2021, nVent Finance issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.750% senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes").
In May 2023, to finance the acquisition of ECM Industries, nVent Finance issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.650% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes, the "Notes").
Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and interest on the 2031 Notes and 2033 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment by nVent (the "Parent Company Guarantor"). There are no subsidiaries that guarantee the Notes. The Parent Company Guarantor is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries and the issuance of the Notes and other external debt. The Parent Company Guarantor’s principal source of cash flow, including cash flow to make payments on the Notes pursuant to the guarantees, is dividends from its subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer’s principal source of cash flow is interest income from its subsidiaries. None of the subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer is under any direct obligation to pay or otherwise fund amounts due on the Notes or the guarantees, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, there may be statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends from certain subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer. If such subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer and sufficient cash or liquidity is not otherwise available, the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer may not be able to make principal and interest payments on their outstanding debt, including the Notes or the guarantees.
The Notes constitute general unsecured senior obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. The guarantees of the Notes by the Parent Company Guarantor constitute general unsecured obligations of the Parent Company Guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. Subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued contains covenants that, among other things, restrict nVent’s, nVent Finance’s and certain subsidiaries’ ability to merge or consolidate with another person, create liens or engage in sale and lease-back transactions.
There are no significant restrictions on the ability of nVent to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of nVent or its subsidiaries represents restricted net assets pursuant to the guidelines established by the SEC.
Senior credit facilities
In September 2021, nVent and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "2021 Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2021 Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. In 2025, nVent repaid the remainder of the borrowings on the 2021 Term Loan Facility.
In June 2025, nVent and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $275.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2025 Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the 2025 Term Loan Facility, the "Senior Credit Facilities"). The Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety the 2021 Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted from time to time during the full five-year term of the Revolving Credit Facility. nVent Finance has the
35
option to request to increase the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders.
As of September 30, 2025, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $569.6 million.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate, the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”), Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) or, solely for swingline loans denominated in Euros, the Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on, at nVent Finance’s election, nVent's net leverage ratio or public debt rating.
In April 2023, nVent and nVent Finance entered into a loan agreement providing for another unsecured term loan facility of $300.0 million for five years (the "2023 Term Loan Facility"), which was used to fund the acquisition of ECM Industries. In 2025, nVent repaid the remainder of the borrowings on the 2023 Term Loan Facility.
In June 2024, nVent and nVent Finance entered into a loan agreement providing for an additional senior unsecured term loan facility of $500.0 million for two years (the "2024 Term Loan Facility"). In July 2024, nVent partially financed the acquisition of Trachte using the 2024 Term Loan Facility. In 2025, nVent repaid the remainder of the borrowings on the 2024 Term Loan Facility.
Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which are in the Senior Credit Facilities, including that we may not permit (i) the ratio of our consolidated debt (net of our consolidated unrestricted cash in excess of $5.0 million but not to exceed $250.0 million) to our consolidated net income (excluding, among other things, non-cash gains and losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation expense ("EBITDA") on the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (each a "testing period") to exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (or, at nVent Finance's election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions) and (ii) the ratio of our EBITDA to our consolidated interest expense for the same period to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. In addition, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the Senior Credit Facilities also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to create liens, merge or consolidate with another person, make acquisitions and incur subsidiary debt. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt agreements, and there is no material uncertainty about our ongoing ability to meet those covenants.
Share repurchases
On May 14, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $300.0 million (the "2021 Authorization"). The 2021 Authorization expired on July 22, 2024.
On May 17, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $500.0 million (the "2024 Authorization"). The 2024 Authorization began on July 23, 2024 following the expiration of the 2021 Authorization, and expires on July 22, 2027.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 4.8 million of our ordinary shares for $253.1 million under the 2024 Authorization. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 1.5 million of our ordinary shares for $100.0 million under the 2024 Authorization and we did not repurchase ordinary shares under the 2021 Authorization.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $146.9 million available for share repurchases under the 2024 Authorization.
Dividends
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we paid dividends of $98.0 million, or $0.60 per ordinary share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we paid dividends of $95.3 million, or $0.57 per ordinary share.
On September 22, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per ordinary share that will be paid on November 7, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 17, 2025. The balance of dividends payable included in Other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $32.8 million and $33.9 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Other financial measures
In addition to measuring our cash flow generation or usage based upon operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure our free cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use to assess our cash flow performance. We believe free cash flow is an important measure of liquidity because it provides us and our investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to pay dividends, make acquisitions, repay debt and repurchase shares. In addition, free cash flow is used as a criterion to
36
measure and pay annual incentive compensation. Our measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow:
| Nine months ended | ||||||||
| In millions | September 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | ||||||
| Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities of continuing operations | $ | 426.6 | $ | 324.1 | ||||
| Capital expenditures | (56.6) | (47.5) | ||||||
| Proceeds from sale of property and equipment | 1.7 | 0.5 | ||||||
| Free cash flow of continuing operations | $ | 371.7 | $ | 277.1 | ||||
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. In our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As part of our ongoing integration activities associated with the Electrical Products Group acquisition, we are continuing to incorporate our controls and procedures into the Electrical Products Group business and to augment our company-wide controls.
