ABOUT WHIRLPOOL
Whirlpool Corporation ("Whirlpool") is a leading kitchen and laundry appliance company, in constant pursuit of improving life at home and inspiring generations with our brands. The Company is driving meaningful innovation to meet the evolving needs of consumers through its iconic brand portfolio, including Whirlpool, KitchenAid, JennAir, Maytag, Amana, Brastemp, Consul, and InSinkErator. In 2025, the Company reported approximately $16 billion in annual sales, 41,000 employees, and 35 manufacturing and technology research centers. We conduct our business through three operating segments, which consist of Major Domestic Appliances ("MDA") North America; MDA Latin America; and Small Domestic Appliances ("SDA") Global.
OVERVIEW
Whirlpool delivered second-quarter net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool common shareholders of $75 million (net earnings margin of 2.1%), or $1.15 per share, compared to net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool shareholders of $65 million (net earnings margin of 1.7%), or $1.17 per share in the same prior-year period. Whirlpool delivered cash provided by (used in) operating activities of $(947) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $(702) million in the same prior year period and had capital expenditures of $162 million and $154 million, respectively.
Net earnings margins were favorably impacted by the gain of $139 million during the second quarter of 2026 related to the sale of our remaining 25% ownership stake in Beko, partially offset by the unfavorable impacts of lower volume due to the industry demand decline in North America and negative price/mix in Latin America.
We continue to take actions to deliver shareholder value as we navigate through a challenging macro environment in North America. We remain confident in delivering over $150 million of cost take out, implementing previously announced pricing actions, including the largest pricing changes in a decade, introducing over 100 new products and improving net debt.

(1) Not meaningful ("nm")
Consolidated net sales decreased 6.8% and 8.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the deconsolidation of Whirlpool of India, industry demand decline in North America and unfavorable price/mix in Latin America. This was partially offset by favorable currency impacts in Latin America.
The consolidated gross margin percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was 12.6% and 12.6% compared to 16.2% and 16.5% in the same prior-year periods. The decrease was primarily driven by industry demand decline, operational inefficiencies associated with lower volume, tariff cost, inflation and unfavorable price/mix.

We incurred restructuring charges of $41 million and $73 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $2 million and $11 million for the same periods in 2025. For additional information, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
For the full year 2026, we expect to incur approximately $175 million of restructuring charges, inclusive of the restructuring charges recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2026. We expect a significant portion of these actions to result in non-cash settlement.
(Gain) Loss on Sale and Disposal of Businesses
We recorded a gain of $139 million from the sale of our remaining ownership stake in Beko and the termination of the Russia agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The total gain amount includes $82 million from the sale of our Beko stake, $46 million from the termination of the Russia agreement, and $11 million from the release of previously accrued indemnities and other comprehensive income.
See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

OVERVIEW
Whirlpool's full-year net sales declined by approximately 7%, due to the deconsolidation of the European major domestic appliance business, which occurred on April 1, 2024.
Earnings available to Whirlpool was $318 million (net earnings margin of 2.2%), or $5.66 per share, compared to net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool of $(323) million (net earnings (loss) margin of (1.9)%), or $(5.87) per share in the same prior-year period, primarily due to non-cash charges related to the European transaction and Maytag trade name impairment in the prior period.
Net earnings margins benefited from strong cost take out actions of approximately $200 million, including product and supply chain cost efficiencies and the gain related to the ownership stake reduction in Whirlpool India, partially offset by the incremental cost of tariffs, JennAir trade name impairment, currency, and continued marketing and technology investments.
Cash provided by operating activities were $470 million, compared to $835 million in 2024, primarily driven by lower earnings and higher working capital requirement to support product transitions. Capital expenditures were $389 million in 2025 and $451 million in 2024.

Consolidated net sales for 2025 decreased by 6.5% compared to 2024, primarily driven by the deconsolidation of our European major domestic appliance business, which occurred on April 1, 2024. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, net sales for 2025 decreased 5.4% compared to 2024. Consolidated net sales for 2024 decreased 14.6% compared to 2023, primarily driven by the deconsolidation of our European major domestic appliance business. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, net sales for 2024 decreased 13.7% compared to 2023.

Results of Operating Segments
In 2023, our operating segments were based on geographical region and were defined as North America, EMEA, Latin America and Asia. These regions also represented our reportable segments. Beginning January 1, 2024, we began conducting our business through five operating segments, which consisted of Major Domestic Appliances (“MDA”) North America; MDA Europe (deconsolidated as of April 1, 2024), MDA Latin America; MDA Asia; and Small Domestic Appliances (“SDA”) Global.
As of December 31, 2025, the operations previously reported within the MDA Asia segment are no longer reported as a segment as a result of the deconsolidation of Whirlpool India. The chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates operational performance based on each segment's earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (EBIT). We define EBIT as operating profit less interest and sundry (income) expense and excluding restructuring costs, asset impairment charges and certain other items, if any, that management believes are not indicative of the region's ongoing performance. Cost of products sold is the significant expense regularly reviewed by the CODM. It consists of variable costs associated with products sold, including but not limited to raw materials, direct labor, and variable freight and warehousing. Other segment expenses/ (income) primarily include selling, general and administrative items. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The following is a discussion of results for each of our operating segments.

Selling, General and Administrative
The following table summarizes selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales:

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of consolidated net sales in 2025 increased compared to 2024. This increase was primarily driven by lower consolidated net sales following the disposal of our European major domestic appliance business, which exceeded the corresponding reduction in SG&A expenses. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of consolidated net sales in 2024 decreased compared to 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the disposal of our European major domestic appliance business on April 1, 2024.
