CEO Louis Pinkham commented, "Our enterprise gained significant momentum in the third quarter by delivering very strong orders, nicely above our expectations. The highlight is positive momentum in data center, where we secured orders worth $135 million in 3Q, plus an additional $60 million to date in 4Q. These orders came in the AMC and PES segments, and we see opportunities in IPS as well. We have been making growth investments in the data center market, which are paying off, and we have plans to do much more. Our capabilities here are positioning us as an emerging scale player, with a bid pipeline that is now over $1 billion."

Mr. Pinkham continued, "I was also pleased to see order strength in other markets this quarter, including in discrete automation, food & beverage, and a nice win by our PES team for air filtration solutions in semiconductor clean rooms, as PES executes its growth strategy of diversifying into new, secular markets. Order growth for IPS was low single digits in the quarter, which marks its fifth sequential quarter of positive orders growth - solid performance given broadly sluggish IPS end markets, and provides more evidence that our cross-sell initiatives have momentum. Across the enterprise, I am proud of our teams for pursuing a diverse range of growth opportunities, which is allowing us to more than offset order weakness in short cycle industrial and residential HVAC markets."

Mr. Pinkham concluded, "Looking at our third quarter results beyond orders, our team demonstrated strong execution, and delivered operational results in line with our guidance on sales and adjusted EBITDA, with some partial offsets below the line. Highlights include a return to positive organic sales growth, with IPS delivering outperformance on sales, and PES coming in nicely ahead on adjusted EBITDA margin. We also made further progress paying down our debt, and ended the quarter having paid down all variable rate debt and with line of sight to a net leverage ratio of roughly 3x by the end of 2025. While some persistent end market headwinds, newly implemented tariffs, and additional challenges procuring rare earth magnets are tempering performance, our teams remain focused on driving stronger growth. Looking forward, our order trends demonstrate we are making progress, and raise our confidence that we can deliver accelerating organic growth, including mid-single digit growth in 4Q and while still early in our planning, low- to mid-single digit growth in 2026."

Guidance**

The Company has narrowed and lowered its annual guidance for GAAP diluted earnings per share to a range of $4.26 to $4.56 and for Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share to a range of $9.50 to $9.80, primarily due to net unfavorable impacts from recently announced tariffs and China trade policies related to rare earth magnets since our second quarter report. We now expect net tariff impacts to be slightly unfavorable in the year on a dollar cost basis and anticipate achieving dollar cost neutrality in the middle of next year, and margin neutrality as we exit 2026.

Segment Performance

Segment results for the third quarter of 2025 versus the third quarter of the prior year are summarized below:

• Automation & Motion Control net sales were $402.0 million, an increase of 0.1%, or a decrease of 1.0% on an organic basis. The decline primarily reflects project timing in our data center business, headwinds in the medical market, and persistent challenges sourcing rare earth magnets, particularly for products serving the medical and defense markets. These headwinds were largely offset by growth in discrete automation, and in the aerospace market. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.5% of net sales.
• Industrial Powertrain Solutions net sales were $662.3 million, an increase of 2.8%, or an increase of 1.6% on an organic basis. The growth primarily reflects strength in energy and in metals & mining. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 26.4% of net sales.
• Power Efficiency Solutions net sales were $432.7 million, an increase of 0.3%, or an increase of 0.8% on an organic basis. The results primarily reflect growth in the pool and commercial HVAC markets. Residential HVAC sales in the quarter were flat. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.0% of net sales.

Non-GAAP Measures

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share Data)

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We also periodically disclose certain financial measures in our quarterly earnings releases, on investor conference calls, and in investor presentations and similar events that may be considered "non-GAAP" financial measures. This additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results of operations prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

In this release, we disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures, and we reconcile these measures in the tables below to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures: adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net sales, adjusted gross margin, net debt, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA (including synergies), interest coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio (including synergies), adjusted EBITDA margin, gross debt/adjusted EBITDA, net debt/adjusted EBITDA, net debt/adjusted EBITDA (including synergies), adjusted cash flows from operations, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, and adjusted effective tax rate. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures for providing investors with additional information regarding our results of operations and for helping investors understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods and compared to our peers. Our management primarily uses adjusted income from operations and adjusted operating margin to help us manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, while the other non-GAAP measures disclosed are primarily used to help us evaluate our business and forecast our future results. Accordingly, we believe disclosing and reconciling each of these measures helps investors evaluate our business in the same manner as management. This release also includes non-GAAP forward-looking information. The Company believes that a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking information to the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure would require the Company to predict the timing and likelihood of future restructurings and other charges. Neither these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure is not provided.

In addition to these non-GAAP measures, we use the term "organic sales growth" to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to organic sales. "Organic sales" refers to GAAP sales from existing operations excluding any sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition and excluding any sales from business divested/to be exited recorded prior to the first anniversary of the exit and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation is determined by translating the respective period's organic sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year periods.
