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 in the United States are improving, 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 ongoing 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.

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 June 30, 2026 increased by 10.6%, or $607.1 million, compared with the same period in 2025, which resulted from the following:

(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 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 June 30, 2026 decreased 200 basis points to 35.6% compared to 37.6% for the same period of 2025 primarily due to inflation and investments, partially offset by productivity and price realization.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by 3.9%, or $39.0 million, compared with the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily 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 June 30, 2026 decreased 100 basis points from 17.3% to 16.3%.

Significant Matters

Reorganization of Aldrich and Murray

On June 18, 2020 (Petition Date), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aldrich and Murray each filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. 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. Only Aldrich and Murray have filed for Chapter 11 relief. Neither Aldrich's wholly-owned subsidiary, 200 Park, Murray's wholly-owned subsidiary, ClimateLabs, nor the Trane Companies are part of the Chapter 11 filings.

The goal of these Chapter 11 filings is to resolve equitably and permanently all current and future asbestos-related claims in a manner beneficial to claimants, Aldrich and Murray through court approval of a plan of reorganization that would create a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, establish claims resolution procedures for all current and future asbestos-related claims against Aldrich and Murray and channel such claims to the trust for resolution in accordance with those procedures.

Table of Contents

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 our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 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 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). 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 our 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.

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. In addition, 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 notwithstanding the Chapter 11 cases (the Stay Relief Motion). Aldrich and Murray, 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 of the order denying the Stay Relief Motion pending the outcome of a separate appeal before the Fourth Circuit in another bankruptcy case pending in the Bankruptcy Court.

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. 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. The Chapter 11 cases remain pending as of February 5, 2026.

For detailed information on the bankruptcy cases of Aldrich and Murray, see Part I, Item 1, "Business - Asbestos-Related Matters," Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Litigation," Part I, Item 3, "Legal Proceedings," and Part II, Item 8, Consolidated Financial Statements, and Note 20, "Commitments and Contingencies."

Conditions remain mixed across our served end markets and geographies. Overall Commercial HVAC markets in Americas and EMEA 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 mixed macro-economic conditions across the region. Transport refrigeration markets continue to experience weaker demand, particularly in the United States. Residential markets have weakened considerably throughout 2025 due to navigating a regulatory refrigerant transition and softer consumer demand, 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 other measures 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 announced and implemented by the United States in 2025, as well as the tariffs imposed by other countries in response. These global trade policy changes continue to be dynamic and, 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.

Our geographic mix, our diverse portfolio, and our large installed product base, provide growth opportunities from replacement demand and within our service revenue streams.
