NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Trane Technologies plc, a public limited company, incorporated in Ireland in 2009, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively we, our, the Company or Trane Technologies) is a global climate innovator. The Company brings sustainable and efficient solutions to buildings, homes and transportation through the Company's strategic brands, Trane® and Thermo King®, and its environmentally responsible portfolio of products, services and connected intelligent controls. The Company generates revenue and cash primarily through the design, manufacture, sales and service of solutions for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), transport refrigeration, and custom refrigeration solutions.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) to communicate changes to the codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)" (ASU 2023-09) which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09, as required, for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis. See Note 14, "Income Taxes" for more information on the Company's income tax disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but not yet Adopted
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the accounting for Internal-Use Software" (ASU 2025-06) which modernizes accounting guidance for the costs to develop software for internal use, aligning the various stages of software development with current software development methods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. ASU 2025-06 can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently expect to adopt this ASU before the required effective date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has agreements with financial institutions, primarily in the U.S., that allow its suppliers to sell their receivables to the financial institution at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institution on terms that are negotiated between them.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability is as follows:
•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
•Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Observable market data is required to be used in making fair value measurements when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026:

The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025:
| In millions | Fair Value | Fair value measurements | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Assets: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative instruments | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Liabilities: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative instruments | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts and instruments related to non-functional currency balance sheet exposures and commodity swaps. The fair value of the foreign exchange derivative instruments is determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable. The fair value of the commodity derivatives is valued under a market approach using published prices, where applicable, or dealer quotes.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. There have been no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
Note 9. Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions
The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of the Company's U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has many non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering eligible current and retired non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) provide healthcare benefits and, in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible current and retired employees.
Pension Plans
The non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a final average pay formula while plans for most collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar benefit formula or a percentage of pay formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key or highly compensated employees.

The Company currently projects that it will contribute approximately $84 million to its pension plans worldwide in 2026.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits for eligible current and retired employees. These plans are unfunded and have no plan assets; instead, they are funded by the Company on a pay-as-you-go basis in the form of direct benefit payments. Generally, postretirement health benefits are contributory with contributions adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily non-contributory.

Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 78 % and 81 % of the Company's revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Contract Balances
The opening and closing balances of contract assets and contract liabilities arising from contracts with customers for the period ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:
| In millions | Location on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||
| Contract assets - current | Other current assets | $ | $ | |||||||||||
| Contract liabilities - current | Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | |||||||||||||
| Contract liabilities - noncurrent | Other noncurrent liabilities | |||||||||||||
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets, and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In general, the Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule established in its contracts. Contract assets relate to the conditional right to consideration for any completed performance under the contract when costs are incurred in excess of billings under the percentage of completion methodology. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract or when the Company has a right to consideration that is unconditional before it transfers a good or service to the customer. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, changes in contract asset and liability balances were not materially impacted by any other factors.
Approximately 33 % of the contract liability balance at December 31, 2025 was recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Additionally, approximately 21 % of the contract liability balance at March 31, 2026 was classified as noncurrent and not expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.

Note 12. Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation plans under the fair value based method. The Company's share-based compensation plans include programs for stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance share units (PSUs) and deferred compensation.
Share-based compensation expense related to continuing operations is included in Selling and administrative expenses. The expense recognized for the three months ended March 31 was as follows:

Performance shares (1) | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
(1) The number of performance shares represents the maximum award level.
Stock Options / RSUs
Eligible participants may receive (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs. The fair value of each of the Company's stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the 3 -year vesting period. Beginning with the 2024 grant year, for stock options and RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is generally 12 months.
The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the three months ended March 31:
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||
| Dividend yield | % | % | |||||||||
| Volatility | % | % | |||||||||
| Risk-free rate of return | % | % | |||||||||
| Expected life in years | |||||||||||
14
A description of the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock option awards is as follows:
•Dividend yield - The Company determines the dividend yield based upon the expected quarterly dividend payments as of the grant date and the current fair market value of the Company's shares.
•Volatility - The expected volatility is based on a weighted average of the Company's implied volatility and the most recent historical volatility of the Company's shares commensurate with the expected life.
•Risk-free rate of return - The Company applies a yield curve of continuous risk-free rates based upon the published US Treasury spot rates on the grant date.
•Expected life in years - The expected life of the Company's stock option awards represents the weighted-average of the actual period since the grant date for all exercised or canceled options and an expected period for all outstanding options.
Performance Shares
The Company has a Performance Share Program (PSP) for key employees. The program provides awards in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company's ordinary shares based on the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares.
PSU awards are earned based 50 % upon a performance condition, measured by relative Cash Flow Return on Invested Capital (CROIC) to the S&P 500 Industrials Index over a 3-year performance period, and 50 % upon a market condition, measured by the Company's relative total shareholder return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of the S&P 500 Industrials Index over a 3-year performance period. Beginning with the 2024 grant year, for PSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes the expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is 12 months. For awards granted to retirement eligible employees prior to 2024, the expense was recognized over the 3-year performance period. The fair value of the market condition is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model in a risk-neutral framework based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates and correlation matrix.
Deferred Compensation
The Company allows key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices, including its ordinary share equivalents. Any amounts invested in ordinary share equivalents will be settled in ordinary shares of the Company at the time of distribution.
Note 13. Other Income/(Expense), Net

Other income/(expense), net includes the results from activities other than core business operations such as interest income and foreign currency gains and losses on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency. In addition, the Company includes the components of net periodic benefit credit/(cost) for pension and postretirement obligations other than the service cost component. Other activity, net includes items associated with legacy legal matters, such as asbestos-related activities related to Murray Boiler LLC (Murray). Refer to Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies" for more information regarding asbestos-related matters.
Other activity, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 also includes a $22.6 million gain recognized on the remeasurement of the Company’s previously held interest in a business following the acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in the first quarter of 2026.

Note 14. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its Provision for income taxes by applying an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company's effective income tax rate was 18.5 % and 17.9 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5 % primarily due to earnings that in the aggregate have a higher statutory tax rate, U.S. federal, state and local income taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5 % primarily due to earnings that in the aggregate have a higher statutory tax rate, U.S. federal, state and local income taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments and a non-taxable adjustment for contingent consideration.
Total unrecognized tax benefits for March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $63.8 million and $62.4 million, respectively. Although management believes its tax positions and related provisions reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are fully supportable, it recognizes that these tax positions and related provisions may be challenged by various tax authorities. These tax positions and related provisions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted as additional facts and information become available, including progress on tax audits, changes in interpretations of tax laws, developments in case law and closing of statute of limitations. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in Provision for income taxes.
The Provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective income tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. These examinations on their own, or any subsequent litigation related to the examinations, may result in additional income taxes or penalties against the Company. If the ultimate result of these audits differs from original or adjusted estimates, they could have a material impact on the Company's income tax provision. Substantially all of the Company's U.S. federal tax returns are effectively settled for tax years prior to 2022. In general, the examination of the Company's material non-U.S. income tax returns is complete or effectively settled for the years prior to 2015, with certain matters prior to 2015 being resolved through appeals and litigation and also unilateral procedures as provided for under double tax treaties.
Note 15. Acquisitions
On February 17, 2026, the Company acquired Stellar Energy Americas, Inc. (Stellar Energy), a leading provider of turnkey data center cooling solutions. The gross purchase consideration was $553.4 million, excluding cash acquired of $185.4 million. The purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The acquisition enhances the Company's position in data center thermal management solutions through Stellar Energy's capabilities in modular and scalable cooling system design. The results of this acquisition are reported within the Americas segment as of the date of acquisition. The consideration was allocated to tangible and intangible identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price resulted in the recognition of identifiable intangible assets of $323.0 41.7 million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired resulted in goodwill of $354.3 million, which is attributable primarily to anticipated synergies, assembled workforce, and the expansion of Stellar Energy’s data center solutions portfolio. The goodwill for this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
16
Additionally, during the first quarter of 2026, the Company acquired all remaining interest in LiquidStack, a provider of advanced liquid cooling solutions for data centers, in which the Company previously held a minority interest, that is reported in the Americas segment as of the date of acquisition. The Company also acquired two Transport refrigeration distributors that are reported in the Americas and EMEA segments, as applicable, as of their respective dates of acquisition. The combined purchase consideration for these acquisitions totaled $246.7 million, inclusive of contingent consideration of $60.6 million.

Note 16. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Trane Technologies plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which in the Company's case, includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans. The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three months ended March 31:

Note 17. Business Segment Information
The Company operates under three reportable segments designed to create deep customer focus and relevance in markets around the world. Intercompany sales between segments are immaterial.
•The Company's Americas segment innovates for customers in North America and Latin America. The Americas segment encompasses commercial heating, cooling and ventilation systems, building controls and solutions, and energy services and solutions; residential heating and cooling; and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.
•The Company's EMEA segment innovates for customers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. The EMEA segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems and services, energy services and solutions, building controls, and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.
•The Company's Asia Pacific segment innovates for customers throughout the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems, services and solutions for commercial buildings, and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.
17
The Company's chief operating decision maker (CODM), the Chief Executive Officer, uses two profitability measures, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted Operating Income, in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources:
•Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, merger and acquisition transaction costs, non-cash adjustment for contingent consideration, unallocated corporate expenses, discontinued operations and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also provides a useful tool for assessing the operating performance and comparability between periods and our ability to generate cash because it excludes the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items that can vary significantly from period to period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is used in the development of annual operating plans, including capital expenditure and operational budgets, and in measuring performance against targets for purposes of incentive compensation.
•Segment Adjusted Operating Income represents operating income adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, merger and acquisition transaction costs, non-cash adjustment for contingent consideration and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted Operating Income, and ratios based on it, are used to provide a comprehensive view of segment profitability and evaluate efficient returns on assets.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted Operating Income are not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Measures of total assets by reportable segment are not provided to the CODM. Therefore, asset information by segment is not disclosed.

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to the bankruptcy proceedings for Aldrich Pump LLC (Aldrich) and Murray and environmental and product liability matters. The Company records accruals for loss contingencies when it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.
Asbestos-Related Matters
Certain indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and former companies of the Company have been named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims were filed against predecessors of Aldrich and Murray and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by predecessors of Aldrich or Murray, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. None of the Company's existing or previously-owned businesses were a producer or manufacturer of asbestos.
On June 18, 2020 (the Petition Date), Aldrich and Murray filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina (the Bankruptcy Court) to resolve equitably and permanently all current and future asbestos related claims in a manner beneficial to claimants and to Aldrich and Murray. As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich and Murray have been stayed due to the imposition of a statutory automatic stay applicable in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. In addition, at the request of Aldrich and Murray, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order temporarily staying all asbestos-related claims against each of 200 Park, Inc. (200 Park), ClimateLabs LLC (ClimateLabs) and Trane Technologies plc and its other subsidiaries (the Trane Companies) that relate to claims against Aldrich or Murray (except for asbestos-related claims for which the exclusive remedy is provided under workers' compensation statutes or similar laws). On August 23, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered its findings of facts and conclusions of law and order declaring that the automatic stay applies to certain asbestos related claims against the Trane Companies and enjoining such actions. As a result, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich, Murray and the Trane Companies remain stayed.
From an accounting perspective, the Company no longer has control over Aldrich and Murray as of the Petition Date as their activities are subject to review and oversight by the Bankruptcy Court. Therefore, Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs were deconsolidated as of the Petition Date and their respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On January 23, 2023, an individual claimant filed a motion to lift the automatic stay imposed by the Bankruptcy Code to pursue its asbestos suit against Aldrich and Murray (the Stay Relief Motion). Aldrich and Murray, the court appointed legal representative of future asbestos claimants (the FCR), and certain non-debtor affiliates each opposed the Stay Relief Motion. The Bankruptcy Court denied the Stay Relief Motion. The individual claimant filed a notice appealing the order denying the Stay Relief Motion to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina (the District Court). The District Court has entered an order staying all deadlines in the appeal pending the outcome of a separate appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (the Fourth Circuit) in another bankruptcy case pending in the Bankruptcy Court. The Fourth Circuit has denied the stay relief in that other case and has denied the individual claimant's request for rehearing en banc.
20
On August 26, 2021, the Company announced that Aldrich and Murray reached an agreement in principle with the FCR in the bankruptcy proceedings. The agreement in principle includes the key terms for the permanent resolution of all current and future asbestos claims against Aldrich and Murray pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the Plan). Under the agreed terms, the Plan would create a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and establish claims resolution procedures for all current and future claims against Aldrich and Murray (Asbestos Claims). On the effective date of the Plan, Aldrich and Murray would fund the trust with $545.0 million, comprised of $540.0 million in cash and a promissory note to be issued by Aldrich and Murray to the trust in the principal amount of $5.0 million, and the Asbestos Claims would be channeled to the trust for resolution in accordance with the claims resolution procedures. Following the effective date of the Plan, Aldrich and Murray would have no further obligations with respect to the Asbestos Claims. The FCR has agreed to support such Plan. The agreement in principle with the FCR is subject to final documentation and is conditioned on arrangements acceptable to Aldrich and Murray with respect to their asbestos insurance assets. It is currently contemplated that the asbestos insurance assets of Aldrich and Murray would be contributed to the trust, and that, in consideration of their cash contribution to the trust, Aldrich and Murray would have the exclusive right to pursue, collect and retain all insurance reimbursements available in connection with the resolution of Asbestos Claims by the trust. The committee representing current asbestos claimants (the ACC) is not a party to the agreement in principle. Any settlement and its implementation in a plan of reorganization is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the agreement on the terms proposed.
On September 24, 2021, Aldrich and Murray filed the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan is supported by and reflects the agreement in principle reached with the FCR. On the same date, in connection with the Plan, Aldrich and Murray filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to create a $270.0 million trust intended to constitute a "qualified settlement fund" within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 468B of the Internal Revenue Code (QSF). The funds held in the QSF would be available to provide funding for a trust pursuant to Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code upon effectiveness of the Plan.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, in connection with the agreement in principle reached by Aldrich and Murray with the FCR and the motion to create a $270.0 million QSF, the Company recorded a charge of $21.2 million to increase its Funding Agreement liability to $270.0 million. The corresponding charge was bifurcated between Other income/(expense), net of $7.2 million relating to Murray and discontinued operations of $14.0 million relating to Aldrich.
On January 27, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted the request to fund the QSF, which was funded on March 2, 2022, resulting in an operating cash outflow of $270.0 million reported in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, of which $91.8 million was allocated to continuing operations and $178.2 million was allocated to discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. On April 18, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting Aldrich and Murray's request to seek to estimate their aggregate liability for all current and future asbestos-related personal injury claims. Aldrich and Murray are pursuing discovery and related matters in connection with the estimation proceedings. On December 17, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court granted the FCR's motion to streamline the Bankruptcy Court proceedings to estimate the Debtors' asbestos-related liabilities. The first phase of the estimation hearing will commence the week of August 10, 2026.
Certain individual claimants and the ACC filed Motions to dismiss the bankruptcy proceedings on April 6, 2023 and May 15, 2023, respectively (the Motions to Dismiss). The Bankruptcy Court denied the Motions to Dismiss, and the District Court and the Fourth Circuit declined to review the Bankruptcy Court's ruling.
It is not possible to predict whether the Bankruptcy Court will approve the terms of the Plan, what the extent of the asbestos liability will be or how long the Chapter 11 cases will last. The Chapter 11 cases remain pending as of April 30, 2026.
On October 18, 2021, the ACC filed a motion seeking standing to pursue and investigate on behalf of the bankruptcy estates of Aldrich and Murray, claims arising from or related to the 2020 Corporate Restructuring and filed a complaint seeking to substantively consolidate the bankruptcy estates of Aldrich and Murray with certain of the Company's subsidiaries. Despite objections by Aldrich and Murray, the Bankruptcy Court granted the ACC's standing motion and denied Aldrich and Murray's motions to dismiss the substantive consolidation complaint. On June 18, 2022, the ACC filed complaints against the Company and other related parties asserting various claims and causes of action arising from or related to the 2020 Corporate Restructuring. The Company is vigorously opposing and defending against these claims.
21
In connection with the internal corporate restructuring completed in 2020, Aldrich, Murray and their respective subsidiaries entered into customary agreements with subsidiaries of the Company to ensure they each have access to services necessary for the effective operation of their respective businesses and access to capital to address any liquidity needs that arise as a result of working capital requirements or timing issues. In addition, the Company regularly transacts business with Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs. As of the Petition Date, these entities are considered related parties and post deconsolidation activity between the Company and them are reported as third party transactions and are reflected within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Since the Petition Date, there were no material transactions between the Company and these entities other than as described above.
Environmental Matters
The Company continues to be dedicated to environmental and sustainability programs to minimize the use of natural resources, reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials from our manufacturing processes and remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.
It is the Company's policy to establish environmental reserves for investigation and remediation activities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. Estimated liabilities are determined based upon existing remediation laws and technologies. Inherent uncertainties exist in such evaluations due to unknown environmental conditions, changes in government laws and regulations, and changes in cleanup technologies. The environmental reserves are updated on a routine basis as remediation efforts progress and new information becomes available.
The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state and international authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. In most instances at multi-party sites, the Company's share of the liability is not material.
In estimating its liability at multi-party sites, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on the Company's understanding of the parties' financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis.
Reserves for environmental matters are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $51.5 million and $51.8 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $42.5 million and $41.6 million, respectively, relate to investigation and remediation of properties and multi-waste disposal sites related to businesses formerly owned by the Company.
Warranty Liability
Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.
The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:
| In millions | 2026 | ||||

Warranty Deferred Revenue
The Company's extended warranty liability represents the deferred revenue associated with its extended warranty contracts and is amortized into Net revenues on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liability by evaluating the expected costs under its existing contracts to ensure these expected costs do not exceed the extended warranty liability.
The changes in the extended warranty liability for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:

Trends and Economic Events
We are a global corporation with worldwide operations. As a global business, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic factors as well as geopolitical, environmental and social factors wherever we operate or do business. Our geographic diversity and the breadth of our products and services portfolios have helped mitigate the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results.
Given our broad range of products manufactured and geographic markets served, management uses a variety of factors to predict the outlook for the Company. We monitor key competitors and customers in order to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future. We regularly perform detailed evaluations of the different market segments we serve to proactively detect trends and to adapt our strategies accordingly, including potential triggers and actions to be taken under recessionary and other macroeconomic scenarios. In addition, we believe our backlog and order levels are indicative of future revenue and thus are a key measure of anticipated performance.
Conditions remain mixed across our served end markets and geographies. Overall Commercial HVAC markets in Americas and Europe remain strong due to demand for our differentiated customer driven solutions and the benefits of installing energy efficient products and decarbonizing the built environment. In Asia, markets remain dynamic, with weak macro-economic conditions driving soft demand in China balanced by strong demand in the rest of Asia. Transport refrigeration markets continue to experience weaker demand. Residential markets continue to be weak following the regulatory refrigerant transition and softer consumer demand in 2025, while uncertainties remain from economic risks and higher interest rates.
Our performance may be impacted by future developments that are uncertain. Geopolitical risks and macroeconomic developments, including changes in global trade policies, tariffs and the conflict in the Middle East could cause disruptions to operations, supply chains, end markets, financial markets and overall economic conditions which could negatively impact our business.
We continue to monitor macroeconomic indicators and uncertainties resulting from the tariffs and other trade protection measures announced and implemented by the United States, as well as the tariffs imposed by other countries in response. These global trade policy changes continue to be dynamic, and the geopolitical environment in the Middle East is unstable as a result of the current conflict. As a result, we may experience supply chain challenges, commodity cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty. We believe our business operating system, our in-region for region strategy, and strength in execution will enable us to navigate potential risks stemming from these recent events.
We believe we have a solid foundation of global brands that are highly differentiated in all of our major product lines. Our geographic mix, our diverse portfolio, and our large installed product base, provide growth opportunities from replacement demand and within our service revenue streams. Additionally, we are investing substantial resources to innovate and develop new products and services which we expect to drive future growth.

Results of Operations
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Organic Revenue
We define organic revenue as net revenues adjusted for the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures. Organic revenue is not defined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP. Selected references are made to revenue growth on an organic basis so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impacts of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and acquisitions, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during both periods presented. We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues in both periods presented.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, merger and acquisition transaction costs, non-cash adjustment for contingent consideration, unallocated corporate expenses, discontinued operations and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and ratios based on it, are used in the development of annual operating plans, including capital expenditure and operational budgets, and in measuring performance against targets for purposes of incentive compensation. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also provides a useful tool for assessing the operating performance and comparability between periods and our ability to generate cash because it excludes the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items that can vary significantly from period to period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results as determined in accordance with GAAP.
Segment Adjusted Operating Income
We define Segment Adjusted Operating Income as operating income adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, merger and acquisition transaction costs, non-cash adjustment for contingent consideration and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted Operating Income, and ratios based on it, are used to provide a comprehensive view of segment profitability and evaluate efficient returns on assets. Segment Adjusted Operating Income also provides a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods because it eliminates non-recurring items that can vary from period to period. Segment Adjusted Operating Income is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Net Revenues
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by 6.0%, or $280.9 million, compared with the same period in 2025, which resulted from the following:
| Volume | 1.8 | % | |||
| Pricing | 1.6 | % | |||
Organic revenue (1) | 3.4 | % | |||
| Acquisitions | 1.0 | % | |||
| Currency translation | 1.6 | % | |||
| Total | 6.0 | % | |||
(1) Represents a non-GAAP measure. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by higher volumes as a result of stronger end-customer demand within our Americas and Asia Pacific segments, realization of price increases, incremental revenue from acquisitions, and a favorable impact from foreign currency translation. Refer to the "Results by Segment" below for a discussion of Net revenues by segment.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased 100 basis points to 34.8% compared to 35.8% for the same period of 2025 primarily due to inflation, partially offset by productivity and price realization.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by 10.9%, or $93.4 million, compared with the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a non-cash adjustment in prior year of $61.2 million related to contingent consideration. The remaining increase was due to human capital costs related to investing in our people, higher sales commissions, incremental selling and administrative expenses of acquired businesses and higher levels of business reinvestment. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 90 basis points from 18.3% to 19.2%. Excluding the effect of the contingent consideration adjustment, Selling and administrative expenses were 19.6% of Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 our effective tax rate was 18.5% and 17.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to earnings that in the aggregate have a higher statutory tax rate, U.S. federal, state and local income taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to earnings that in the aggregate have a higher statutory tax rate, U.S. federal, state and local income taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments and a non-taxable adjustment for contingent consideration.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 - Segment Results
We operate under three reportable segments designed to create deep customer focus and relevance in markets around the world. Intercompany sales between segments are immaterial.
•Our Americas segment innovates for customers in North America and Latin America. The Americas segment encompasses commercial heating, cooling and ventilation systems, building controls and solutions, and energy services and solutions; residential heating and cooling; and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.
•Our EMEA segment innovates for customers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. The EMEA segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems and services, energy services and solutions, building controls, and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.
•Our Asia Pacific segment innovates for customers throughout the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems, services and solutions for commercial buildings and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns, capital expenditure commitments and income tax payments. Our cash requirements primarily consist of the following:
•Business reinvestment
•Funding of working capital
•Debt service requirements
•Funding of capital expenditures
•Dividend payments
•Funding of acquisitions, joint ventures and equity investments
•Share repurchases
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash balances on hand, cash flows from operations, proceeds from debt offerings, commercial paper, and borrowing availability under our existing credit facilities. We earn a significant amount of our operating income in jurisdictions where it is deemed to be permanently reinvested. Our most prominent jurisdiction of operation is the U.S. We expect existing cash and cash equivalents available to the U.S. operations, the cash generated by our U.S. operations, our committed credit lines as well as our expected ability to access the capital and debt markets will be sufficient to fund our U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. In addition, we expect existing non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents and the cash generated by our non-U.S. operations will be sufficient to fund our non-U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, under the commercial paper program is $2.0 billion. As of March 31, 2026, we had $400.0 million of commercial paper outstanding used for the repayment of $400.0 million of 3.500% Senior Notes which matured in March 2026.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $1,074.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, of which $789.9 million was held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally available for use in our U.S. operations via intercompany loans, equity infusions or via distributions from direct or indirectly owned non-U.S. subsidiaries for which we do not assert permanent reinvestment. In general, repatriation of cash to the U.S. can be completed with no significant incremental U.S. tax. However, to the extent that we repatriate funds from non-U.S. subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment to fund our U.S. operations, we would be required to accrue and pay applicable non-U.S. taxes. As of March 31, 2026, we currently have no plans to repatriate funds from subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment.
Share repurchases are made in accordance with our balanced capital allocation strategy, subject to market conditions and regulatory requirements. In December 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 billion of our ordinary shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased and canceled $287.3 million of our ordinary shares, which left $4.5 billion remaining under the program. Additionally, during the period after March 31, 2026 through April 30, 2026, we repurchased approximately $102 million of our ordinary shares under the program.
We expect to pay a competitive and growing dividend. In February 2026, our Board of Directors declared an increase in our quarterly share dividend by 12%, from $0.94 to $1.05 per ordinary share, or $3.76 to $4.20 per share annualized, which was paid in the first quarter. Since the launch of Trane Technologies in March 2020, we have increased our quarterly share dividend by 98%.
We continue to actively manage and strengthen our business portfolio to meet the current and future needs of our customers. We achieve this partly through engaging in research and development and sustaining activities and partly through acquisitions. Sustaining activities include costs incurred to reduce production costs, improve existing products, create custom solutions for customers and provide support to our manufacturing facilities. Each year, we make investments in new product development and new technology innovation as they are key factors in achieving our strategic objectives as a leader in the climate sector. In addition, we make investments in technology and business for our operational sustainability programs. Our research and development and sustaining costs account for approximately 2% of annual Net revenues.
In pursuing our business strategy, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate targets and enter into agreements regarding possible acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and equity investments. We have acquired several businesses, entered into joint ventures and invested in companies that complement existing products and services further enhancing our product portfolio. We paid approximately $668 million in cash for acquisitions and equity method investments completed during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
30
We incur costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to result in improved operating performance, profitability and working capital levels. Actions associated with these initiatives may include workforce reductions, improving manufacturing productivity, realignment of management structures and rationalizing certain assets. We believe that our existing cash balances, anticipated cash flow from operations, committed credit lines and access to the capital markets will be sufficient to fund share repurchases, dividends, research and development, sustaining activities, business portfolio changes and ongoing restructuring actions.
Certain of our subsidiaries entered into funding agreements with Aldrich and Murray pursuant to which those subsidiaries are obligated, among other things, to pay the costs and expenses of Aldrich and Murray during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases to the extent distributions from their respective subsidiaries are insufficient to do so and to provide an amount for the funding for a trust established pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code (the Section 524(g) Trust), to the extent that the other assets of Aldrich and Murray are insufficient to provide the requisite trust funding. During the third quarter of 2021, Aldrich and Murray filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to create a $270 million qualified settlement fund (QSF). The funds held in the QSF would be available to provide funding for the Section 524(g) Trust upon effectiveness of the agreed-to plan of reorganization. On January 27, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted the request to fund the QSF, which was funded on March 2, 2022.

Debt and Credit Facilities
As of March 31, 2026, our short-term obligations of $693.1 million consist of $293.1 million of fixed rate debentures that contain a put feature that the holders may exercise on each anniversary of the issuance date. If exercised, we are obligated to repay in whole or in part, at the holder's option, the outstanding principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) of the debentures held by the holder. In accordance with notice requirements as specified in the offering documents, holders had the option to exercise puts up to $37.2 million for settlement in February 2026 but did not exercise such option. In October 2026, in accordance with notice requirements as specified in the offering documents, holders will have the option to elect to exercise puts up to $256.0 million for settlement in November 2026. We also maintain a commercial paper program which is used for general corporate purposes. Under the program, the maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, is $2.0 billion. We had $400.0 million of commercial paper outstanding at March 31, 2026, due to the repayment of $400.0 million of 3.500% Senior Notes which matured in March 2026. We had no commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2025. See Note 6, "Debt and Credit Facilities," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of our short-term obligations.
Our long-term obligations primarily consist of long-term debt with final maturity dates ranging between 2027 and 2049. In addition, we maintain two $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, one maturing in April 2027 and the other maturing in May 2030. The facilities provide support for our commercial paper program and can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Total commitments of $2.0 billion were unused at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. On April 23, 2026, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a term that ends in April 2031 and terminated its $1.0 billion facility that would have expired in April 2027, increasing the total Facilities outstanding to $2.5 billion. See Note 6, "Debt and Credit Facilities," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and further below in Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information for additional information regarding the terms of our long-term obligations and their related guarantees.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and defined as Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures, cash payments for restructuring, legacy legal liability and merger and acquisition (M&A) transaction costs. This measure is useful to management and investors because it is consistent with management's assessment of our operating cash flow performance. The most comparable GAAP measure to free cash flow is Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities in accordance with GAAP.
32
A reconciliation of Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities to free cash flow for the three months ended March 31 is as follows:

| Net cash provided by continuing operating activities | $ | 636.2 | $ | 345.5 | |||||||

Pensions
Our investment objective in managing defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations are met as they come due. We seek to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contribution and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. We use a dynamic approach to asset allocation to increase fixed income assets as the plan's funded status improves. We monitor plan funded status and asset allocation regularly in addition to investment manager performance.
In addition, we monitor the impact of market conditions on our defined benefit plans on a regular basis. None of our defined benefit pension plans have experienced a significant impact on their liquidity due to market volatility. The Company currently projects that it will contribute a total of approximately $84 million to our pension plans worldwide in 2026, a portion of which may be funded by assets held in an employer-owned trust. The timing and amounts of future contributions are dependent upon the funding status of the plans, which is expected to vary as a result of changes in interest rates, returns on underlying assets, and other factors. See Note 9, "Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding pensions.

For a further discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, refer to the discussion under that heading herein and in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025.
34
Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to the bankruptcy proceedings for Aldrich and Murray and environmental and product liability matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management believes that the liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in our results for the period in which they become known.
Management believes there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2026, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, "Recent Accounting Pronouncements," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "outlook," "intend," "strategy," "plan," "may," "might," "could," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements may relate to such matters as projections of revenue, margins, expenses, tax provisions, earnings, cash flows, benefit obligations, share or debt repurchases or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, including those relating to any statements concerning expected development, performance or market share relating to our products and services; any statements regarding future economic conditions or our performance; any statements regarding our sustainability commitments; any statements regarding pending litigation investigations, claims or disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These statements are based on currently available information and our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. While we believe that our assumptions, expectations and projections are reasonable in view of the currently available information, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. You are advised to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in materials we file with or furnish to the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are not guarantees of future performance. They are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties - many of which are beyond our control - as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions, that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements.
Factors that might affect our forward-looking statements include, among other things:
•overall economic, political and business conditions in the markets in which we operate including recessions, economic downturns, price instability, slow economic growth and social and political instability;
•trade protection measures such as import or export restrictions and requirements, the imposition of tariffs and quotas or revocation or material modification of trade agreements;
•commodity and raw material shortages, supply chain risks and price increases;
35
•national and international conflict, including war, civil disturbances, terrorist acts, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Middle East conflict, and other geopolitical hostilities and tensions;
•competitive factors in the markets in which we compete;
•the development, commercialization and acceptance of new and enhanced products and services;
•attracting and retaining talent;
•work stoppages, union negotiations, labor disputes and similar issues;
•other capital market conditions, including availability of funding sources, interest rate fluctuations and other changes in borrowing costs;
•currency exchange rate fluctuations, exchange controls and currency devaluations;
•impacts of global health crises, epidemics, pandemics, or other contagious outbreaks on our business operations, financial results and financial position and on the world economy;
•the outcome of any litigation, governmental investigations, claims or proceedings;
•risks and uncertainties associated with the asbestos-related bankruptcy for our deconsolidated subsidiaries Aldrich and Murray;
•the impact of potential information technology system failures, vulnerabilities, data security breaches or other cybersecurity issues;
•evolving data privacy and protection laws;
•intellectual property infringement claims and the inability to protect our intellectual property rights;
•changes in laws and regulations;
•climate change, changes in weather patterns, natural disasters and seasonal fluctuations;
•national, regional and international regulations and policies associated with climate change and the environment;
•the outcome of any tax audits or settlements;
•the strategic acquisition or divestiture of businesses, product lines and joint ventures;
•impairment of our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and/or our long-lived assets; and
•changes in tax laws and requirements (including tax rate changes, new tax laws, new and/or revised tax law interpretations and any legislation that may limit or eliminate potential tax benefits resulting from our incorporation in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, such as Ireland).
Some of the significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections are described more fully in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. There may also be other factors that have not been anticipated or that are not described in our periodic filings with the SEC, generally because we did not believe them to be significant at the time, which could cause results to differ materially from our expectations.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
For a discussion of the Company's exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 4 – Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2026, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported when required and the information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

In our opinion, pending legal matters are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.
