Executive Overview

Our second quarter results reflect the Carlisle team's relentless focus on execution and operational discipline in a challenging macroeconomic environment. We delivered revenue of $1.6 billion, up 8% year-over-year, and diluted earnings per share of $6.36, up 8%. Our teams drove above-market growth in both CCM and CWT through continued execution of our strategic growth initiatives. We focused on the factors within our control: swift pricing actions, disciplined cost management, and continued progress on innovation. We remain committed to advancing our Vision 2030 strategy through organic growth, bolt-on acquisitions, margin expansion, increased free cash flow, and disciplined capital allocation.

Our revenue was driven by above-market volume growth from continued execution of strategic initiatives, solid re-roofing demand, and customer pre-buying ahead of announced price increases. Our margin performance remained resilient despite continued market headwinds, reflecting the benefits of our operational efficiency initiatives and our unwavering commitment to operational excellence. At CCM, operating margin was 28.6% and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margin was 30.7%, and at CWT, operating margin was 10.7% and adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.0%, each in line with our expectations, even as elevated input costs outpaced pricing realization during the quarter. Notably, CWT's adjusted EBITDA margin improved 380 basis points compared to the prior quarter, aided by our investments in automation, manufacturing consolidation, and the expansion of in-house expanded polystyrene resin capacity, which all continued to gain traction.

The most significant, and well-understood, external challenge in the quarter was the rapid rise in petroleum-derived raw material and freight costs driven by the conflict in the Middle East. We acted decisively to recover our costs through freight surcharges and broad-based price increases across CCM and CWT, implemented in April and July, with a third increase taking effect in August. As we have experienced in prior raw material inflationary cycles, pricing realization typically lags cost inflation, and we expect the benefit of our pricing actions to build through the second half of 2026 and into 2027.

We also continued to advance our innovation pipeline to support our Vision 2030 objectives. We have launched roughly half of our planned new products for 2026, highlighted by the first commercial shipment of our award-winning ThermaThin 7 polyiso insulation. ThermaThin 7 enables thinner roof assemblies, lower freight costs from fewer truckloads, and superior cold weather thermal performance. We remain on track to introduce the balance of this year's new products and continue to invest in our research and innovation center to support long-term growth.

Our strong balance sheet continues to support our balanced and disciplined approach to capital allocation. During the quarter, we repurchased $250 million of shares, and we have increased our full-year target for repurchases to $1.2 billion. Our M&A framework remains unchanged: disciplined, synergistic building envelope acquisitions that enhance our systems offering, increase content per square foot, and meet our strict returns criteria.

Based on our first-half performance, continued momentum in our strategic growth initiatives, and the pricing actions we have taken to date, we are raising our full-year 2026 revenue outlook to mid-single-digit growth with operating and adjusted EBITDA margins approximately flat. This outlook reflects disciplined execution, partial recovery of higher raw material and freight costs, and easier comparisons. It does not assume a near-term recovery in new construction markets. With the strength of our imperative business model, resilient re-roofing demand, and our leadership position in North America, we remain confident in our path to our Vision 2030 financial objectives.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues

Revenues increased in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, mostly driven by volume increases at both CCM and CWT due to strong execution of strategic growth and share gain initiatives.

Gross Profit

Gross margin decreased in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, primarily driven by inflation of our petrochemical-based raw material inputs and freight costs due to the rapid increase in oil prices caused by the conflict in the Middle East, which outpaced the impact of price increases put in place during the second quarter.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased in the second quarter, primarily due to higher wage and benefit expenses of $6.0 million driven by increased incentive compensation and higher commissions expense of $4.6 million, partially offset by a $5.5 million decrease in acquisition-related costs and professional fees.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased in the first six months of 2026, primarily due to a $6.1 million decrease in wage and benefit expenses driven by lower headcount and an $11.5 million decrease in acquisition-related costs and professional fees.

16

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, primarily due to higher new product development expenses. The increase in research and development expenses is consistent with a key pillar of Vision 2030 to drive innovation with a commitment to investing in the creation of new products and solutions that add value through advancements in sustainability and energy and labor efficiencies.

Interest

Interest expense increased in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, primarily due to higher long-term debt balances associated with the notes issued on August 20, 2025. Refer to Note 9 for further information on our long-term debt.

Interest income increased during the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, primarily due to a higher invested cash balance compared to 2025.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes on continuing operations increased during the second quarter and the first six months of 2026, primarily due to lower excess tax benefits from employee stock compensation.

The year-to-date provision reflects an anticipated tax rate of 23.2% and a $3.8 million discrete tax benefit, primarily from excess tax benefits from employee stock compensation, compared to a $12.6 million discrete tax benefit in the first six months of 2025.

Executive Overview

Throughout 2025, despite continued headwinds in new construction and a complex economic environment, we continued to execute against our Vision 2030 strategy, and we remain very confident in our ability to achieve our Vision 2030 financial objectives. Over the course of the year, we made progress on all our key pillars of Vision 2030. We increased investments in innovation to develop new market-leading products. We enhanced our emphasis on the Carlisle Operating System ("COS") and expanded automation in our factories to drive operational excellence. We added significant management talent and further elevated the Carlisle Experience to strengthen customer loyalty and service. And above all else, we continued to deliver on our commitment to being superior capital allocators.

Carlisle’s performance during 2025 adds to our history of resilience through the economic cycles and challenges we have faced over the years, such as the Covid pandemic. We delivered another solid year of cash flow, generating over $1 billion of operating cash flow, which continued to provide balance sheet optionality. As the M&A environment in 2025 was challenging, we turned a significant portion of that cash flow to share repurchases, as we continued to see this as a solid opportunity for capital deployment.

At CCM, solid re-roofing demand, which represents approximately 70% of our commercial roofing business, continued to help stabilize our business as new construction markets work through the bottom of the cycle. At CWT, our recent acquisitions and operational initiatives contributed to revenue growth, and we are well-positioned to capitalize on the growing need for energy-efficient weatherproofing solutions.

North America is the most attractive building-products market globally, supported by strong, long-term fundamentals including the demand for energy-efficient solutions, the need to improve labor productivity, and the recurring maintenance requirements of an aging non-residential building stock—over 70% of which is more than 25 years old. Buildings are a critical and indispensable component of the physical economy. They must be built, maintained, and continuously improved. This structural reality reinforces the durability and necessity of our end markets.

Carlisle’s imperative business continues to benefit from a strong re-roofing market, and we continued to benefit from our position as a North American leader in the world’s largest building-products market. Carlisle’s leadership position in this essential market, highly responsive cost structure combined with the discipline of COS and our proven capital allocation framework, continues to translate into superior and sustainable margin performance.

While we expect the current challenging market conditions to continue into the first half of 2026, our solid financial position, robust cash flow, and ongoing commitment to operational excellence enable us to continue generating strong returns, pursue value-enhancing acquisitions, and deliver shareholder value.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues

The increase in revenues in 2025 primarily reflects higher sales in our non-residential construction end-market of $30.2 million, driven by recent acquisitions, partially offset by lower sales in our residential construction end-market of $14.0 million due to decreased new construction activity.

Gross Profit

Gross margin decreased in 2025, primarily due to increased unit costs resulting from higher absorption of fixed costs on lower volumes.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased in 2025, primarily due to the recent acquisitions of MTL Holdings LLC ("MTL"), PFB Holdco, Inc. ("PFB"), selected assets of ThermaFoam Operating LLC, PowerFoam LLC, and ThermaFoam Real Estate LLC (collectively, "ThermaFoam"), and selected assets of Bonded Logic, Inc. and Phoenix Fibers, LLC (collectively, "Bonded Logic"). These acquisitions resulted in an increase of $16.1 million in wage and benefit expense and $15.8 million of amortization expense, which were partially offset by lower wage and benefit expenses of $11.8 million at our legacy businesses, driven by reduced discretionary compensation.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were higher in 2025 primarily due to increased new product development activities. This increase is consistent with a key pillar of Vision 2030, which focuses on driving innovation through continued investment in the development of new products and solutions that deliver value through advancements in sustainability and energy and labor efficiencies.
