ATMUS FILTRATION TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. (“Atmus” or the “Company”) is one of the global leaders of filtration products for on-highway commercial vehicles and off-highway agriculture, construction, mining and power generation vehicles and equipment. Atmus designs and manufactures advanced filtration products, principally under the Fleetguard brand, that provide superior asset protection and enable lower emissions. Atmus estimates that approximately 19% of its net sales in 2023 were generated through first-fit sales to OEMs, where its products are installed as components for new vehicles and equipment. Atmus estimates that approximately 81% of its net sales in 2023 were generated in the aftermarket, where its products are installed as replacement or repair parts, leading to a strong recurring revenue base. Building on its more than 65-year history, Atmus continues to grow and differentiate itself through its global footprint, comprehensive offering of premium products, technology leadership and multi-channel path to market.

In April 2022, Cummins Inc. (“Cummins”) announced its intention to separate its filtration business (the “Filtration Business”) into a standalone publicly traded company (the “Separation”). In preparation for separation from Cummins, Atmus, as its predecessor in interest, was incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cummins in Delaware on April 1, 2022 in connection with the planned Separation. Prior to the completion of Atmus’ initial public offering (the “IPO”), Cummins completed, in all material respects, the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Filtration Business to Atmus and its subsidiaries as detailed in the separation agreement Atmus entered into with Cummins.

On September 30, 2022, and as amended on February 15, 2023, Atmus entered into a $1.0 billion credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks, providing for a $600 million term loan facility (the “term loan”) and a $400 million revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”), in anticipation of the Separation. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement did not become available until the IPO occurred. The facilities covered by the Credit Agreement will mature on September 30, 2027.

Atmus’ Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on May 16, 2023, was declared effective on May 25, 2023, and Atmus’ common shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ATMU” on May 26, 2023. On May 30, 2023, the IPO was completed through the sale on behalf of certain commercial paper holders of Cummins of 16,243,070 shares of common stock, including the underwriters’ full exercise of their 30-day option to purchase 2,118,661 shares to cover over-allotments. None of the proceeds of the IPO were for the benefit of Atmus. As of the closing of the IPO, Cummins owned approximately 80.5% of the outstanding shares of Atmus common stock.

Upon completion of the IPO, Atmus borrowed $650 million, consisting of proceeds of the term loan and amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility, and paid such amounts to Cummins in partial consideration for the Separation.

On February 14, 2024, Cummins announced an exchange offer whereby Cummins shareholders could exchange all or a portion of Cummins common stock for shares of Atmus common stock owned by Cummins. The divestiture of Atmus shares by Cummins was completed on March 18, 2024 and resulted in the full separation of Atmus and divestiture of Cummins’ entire ownership and voting interest in Atmus (“Full-Separation”).

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As Atmus became a publicly traded company upon the IPO, its financial statements are now presented on a consolidated basis. In preparation for the IPO, the Company’s historical combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis, which reflected a combination of entities under common control that had been

Table of Contents

“carved out” of and derived from the historical consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Cummins.

The unaudited financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to May 26, 2023, are now referred to as “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of Atmus’ results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Periods Prior to the IPO

Prior to the IPO, Atmus, previously the Filtration Business of Cummins, functioned as part of the larger group of businesses controlled by Cummins and accordingly, utilized centralized functions of Cummins, such as facilities and information technology, to support its operations. A portion of the shared service costs were historically allocated to the Filtration Business. Cummins also performed certain corporate functions for the Filtration Business. The corporate expenses related to the Filtration Business were allocated from Cummins. These allocated costs primarily related to certain governance and corporate functions, including finance, human resources, investor relations, legal, tax, treasury and certain other costs. Where it was possible to specifically attribute such expenses to activities of the Filtration Business, these amounts were charged or credited directly to the Filtration Business without allocation or apportionment. Allocation of other such expenses was based on a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the service provided or benefit received by the Filtration Business for the periods presented prior to the Separation, on a consistent basis, such as a relative percentage of headcount and third-party sales. The aggregate costs allocated for these functions to the Filtration Business are included within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income for the periods presented prior to the Separation.

Management believes these cost allocations were a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit derived by, the Filtration Business during the period prior to the IPO, though the allocations may not be indicative of the actual costs that would have been incurred had the Filtration Business operated as a standalone public company. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Filtration Business had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by the Filtration Business employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as manufacturing, selling and marketing, research and development, information technology and infrastructure.

Historically, Atmus’ cash was transferred to Cummins on a daily basis. This arrangement was not reflective of the manner in which Atmus would have been able to finance its operations had it been a standalone business separate from Cummins during each of the periods presented.

Cummins’ debt and related interest expense were not allocated to Atmus for any of the periods presented since Atmus was not the legal obligor of the debt and Cummins’ borrowings were not directly attributable to Atmus.

As the separate legal entities that made up the Filtration Business were not historically held by a single legal entity, Cummins’ net investment in this business (“Net Parent Investment”) was presented in lieu of a controlling interest’s equity in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the Filtration Business, transactions with Cummins affiliates were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income and related balances were reflected as related party receivables and related party payables. Other balances between the Filtration Business and Cummins were considered to be

Table of Contents

effectively settled in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at the time the transactions were recorded.

As of the IPO Date

In connection with the Separation, Atmus entered into various agreements with Cummins, including a separation agreement. In the separation agreement, there were certain assets and liabilities identified in the schedules, including leases and unrecognized tax liabilities, which were retained by Cummins and were reflected as Net Parent Investment in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and those that were transferred to the Company, including additional pension assets, other compensation obligations and certain other assets and liabilities, which were transferred to the Company through Net Parent Investment in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These various agreements comprehensively provide a framework for our relationship with Cummins and govern various interim and ongoing relationships between us and Cummins post IPO.

As part of the Separation, Net Parent Investment was reclassified as Additional Paid-in Capital.

Periods Post IPO

Following the IPO, certain services continue to be provided by Cummins under the transition services agreement. The Company incurred certain costs in its establishment as a standalone public company and expects to incur ongoing additional costs associated with operating as an independent, publicly traded company.

Post IPO, Atmus filed a consolidated Federal income tax return and returns in certain other jurisdictions with Cummins.

Post IPO, Retained earnings began to accumulate and the balance reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflects earnings for the period May 26, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

Periods Post Full Separation

Following Full Separation, Cummins will continue to provide certain services to Atmus under the transition services agreement. The transition services agreement relates primarily to administrative services, which are generally to be provided through May 2025. Atmus will continue to pay Cummins mutually agreed upon fees for these services.

Post Full Separation, Cummins is no longer considered a related party and activity post March 18, 2024, between Atmus and Cummins has been treated as arm’s-length transactions.

Atmus files tax returns in all jurisdictions on its own behalf post Full Separation, and tax balances and effective income tax rates may differ from the amounts reported in the historical periods.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts presented and disclosed in our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit

Table of Contents

or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We expect this ASU to impact our disclosures with no impact to our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures that requires entities to disclose additional information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new standard also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The guidance does not affect recognition or measurement in our consolidated financial statements. We expect this ASU to impact our disclosures with no impact to our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a tax matters agreement with Cummins that, among other things, formalized our agreement related to the responsibility for historical tax positions for the period prior to the IPO for jurisdictions where our business was included in the consolidated or combined tax returns of Cummins.

Atmus’ effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was 21.8% and 21.9%, respectively. Atmus’ effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was 24.5% and 24.1%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was driven by a change in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and discrete tax items. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to differences in rates applicable to foreign subsidiaries, withholding taxes and state income taxes.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Pillar 2 rules that impose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Numerous countries have enacted legislation that is effective as of January 1, 2024. We have evaluated the impact of this legislation based on Atmus’ current global landscape and have determined it will not have a material impact. We will continue to update our analysis and monitor the ongoing legislation throughout the year.

NOTE 9. DEBT AND BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

Atmus entered into the Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks, providing for a "term loan” and a revolving credit facility, in anticipation of the Separation. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement did not become available under the Credit Agreement until the IPO occurred. The facilities covered by the Credit Agreement will mature on September 30, 2027.

Upon completion of the IPO, we borrowed $650 million under the Credit Agreement, consisting of proceeds of the term loan and amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility, and paid such amounts to Cummins in partial consideration for the Separation.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at varying rates, depending on the type of loan and, in some cases, the rates of designated benchmarks and the applicable election made. Generally, U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest at an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (which includes a 0.1 percent credit spread adjustment to SOFR) for the applicable interest period plus a rate ranging from 1.125 percent to 1.75 percent depending on Atmus’ net leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2024, $600 million has been drawn on the term loan and no amount was drawn on the revolving credit facility. These amounts are included within Long-term debt and Current maturities of long-term debt on the Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2024, Atmus’ fair value of Long-term debt was approximately $600 million, which was derived from Level 2 input measures.

Our credit lines available as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include:


	As of June 30, 2024				As of December 31, 2023

(1)Atmus maintains a term loan facility and a revolving credit facility as part of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that Atmus maintain certain net leverage, secured net leverage and interest coverage ratios. At June 30, 2024, Atmus was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains customary representations, events of default and covenants, including restrictions on the level of borrowing.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not have any currently pending claims or litigation that the Company believes, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or capital resources. Atmus carries various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against Atmus with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. While the Company believes it has established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on Atmus’ business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Indemnifications

Periodically, Atmus enters various contractual arrangements where it agrees to indemnify a third-party against certain types of losses. Atmus regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnities and accrue for expected losses that are probable. Because the indemnifications are not related to specified known liabilities, and due to their uncertain nature, Atmus is unable to estimate the maximum amount of the potential loss associated with these indemnifications.

NOTE 11. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Following are the changes in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income by component for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023:

NOTE 12. RELATIONSHIP WITH RELATED PARTIES

As described in Note 1, Description of the Business, prior to the IPO, Atmus had been managed and operated in the normal course of business with other subsidiaries of Cummins. Accordingly, certain shared costs prior to the IPO have been allocated to Atmus and reflected as expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Management of Cummins and Atmus consider the allocation methodologies used to be reasonable and appropriate reflections of historical expenses of Cummins attributable to Atmus for purposes of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if Atmus historically operated as a separate, stand-alone entity. In addition, the expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may not be indicative of expenses that will be incurred in the future by Atmus.

The Company entered into the separation agreement and transition services agreement with Cummins, among other transaction agreements, all of which govern the parties’ relationship following the IPO and full separation. This relationship includes services provided by Cummins to the Company for a fixed term on a service-by-service basis. We pay Cummins mutually agreed-upon fees for the services provided under the transition services agreement.

Corporate Costs/Allocations

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include corporate costs incurred by Cummins for services that were provided to or on behalf of Atmus for the period prior to IPO. Such costs represent shared services and infrastructure provided by Cummins, including administrative, finance, human resources, information technology, legal, and other corporate and infrastructure services.

The corporate costs reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements consist of direct charges to the business and indirect allocations to Atmus. The costs that were directly charged to Atmus, such as the shared services for finance provided by Cummins Business Services, were primarily determined based on actual usage.

Indirect allocations are related to shared services and infrastructure provided by Cummins that would benefit Atmus but were not directly charged to Atmus in a manner discussed above. These corporate costs were allocated to Atmus using methods management believes are consistent and reasonable. The primary allocation factor was third-party revenue; however, other relevant metrics were also utilized based on the nature of the underlying activities. For example, headcount was used as the allocation driver to allocate the human resource departmental costs.

The expenses allocated and directly charged reflect all expenses that Cummins incurred on behalf of the Company. The expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prior to the IPO may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the period presented if Atmus historically operated as a separate, stand-alone entity. All corporate charges and allocations have been deemed paid by Atmus to Cummins in the period in which the cost was recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Total corporate costs allocated to Atmus were zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with $5.5 million and $13.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Allocated corporate costs are included in Net sales, Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses, Research, development and engineering expenses and Other income, net. Post-IPO, Atmus has and will continue to incur its own corporate costs associated with being a standalone publicly traded company.

Related Party Balances

Following the full separation, Cummins is no longer considered a related party. Atmus had trade receivables of $37.9 million for products sold to, and accounts payable of $54.8 million for products and services purchased in the ordinary course from Cummins as of December 31, 2023. Atmus’ sales to Cummins from January 1, 2024 through the date of full separation, March 18, 2024, were $65.4 million compared to $72.7 million and $149.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

This dividend is payable on August 14, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 1, 2024. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our Net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.

On July 17, 2024, Atmus’ Board of Directors authorized a $150 million share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, the Company’s common shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at prices that the Company deems appropriate and subject to numerous factors, including share price, trading volume, general market conditions, applicable law and other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. No shares have been repurchased through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

General Overview

Company Overview

We are one of the global leaders of filtration products for on-highway commercial vehicles and off-highway agriculture, construction, mining and power generation vehicles and equipment. We design and manufacture advanced filtration products, principally under the Fleetguard brand, that provide superior asset protection and enable lower emissions. We estimate that approximately 19% of our net sales in 2023 were generated through first-fit sales to OEMs, where our products are installed as components for new vehicles and equipment. We estimate that approximately 81% of our net sales in 2023 were generated in the aftermarket, where our products are installed as replacement or repair parts, leading to a strong recurring revenue base. Building on our more than 65-year history, we continue to grow and differentiate ourselves through our global footprint, comprehensive offering of premium products, technology leadership and multi-channel path to market.

Separation from Cummins

In April 2022, Cummins Inc. (“Cummins”) announced its intention to separate its filtration business (the “Filtration Business”) into a standalone publicly traded company (the “Separation”). We were incorporated in Delaware on April 1, 2022, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cummins, in anticipation of the Separation, and prior to the completion of our initial public offering (the “IPO”), Cummins completed, in all material respects, the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Filtration Business to us and our subsidiaries.

Our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, filed on May 16, 2023, was declared effective on May 25, 2023, and our common shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ATMU” on May 26, 2023. On May 30, 2023, the IPO was completed through Cummins’ exchange of 16,243,070 shares of our common stock, including the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase

Table of Contents

2,118,661 shares to cover over-allotments. None of the proceeds of the IPO were for the benefit of Atmus. As of the closing of the IPO, Cummins owned approximately 80.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

On September 30, 2022, and as amended on February 15, 2023, Atmus entered into a $1.0 billion credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks, providing for a $600 million term loan facility (the “term loan”) and a $400 million revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”), in anticipation of the Separation. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement did not become available until the IPO occurred. Upon completion of the IPO, we borrowed $650 million, consisting of proceeds of the term loan and amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility, and paid such amounts to Cummins in partial consideration for the Separation.

In connection with the Separation, we entered into various agreements with Cummins, including a separation agreement. In the separation agreement, there were certain assets and liabilities identified in the schedules which were retained by Cummins, and those that were transferred to the Company. These agreements comprehensively provide a framework for our relationship with Cummins and govern various interim and ongoing relationships between us and Cummins post IPO.

Basis of Presentation

For the periods prior to the IPO, the discussion below relates to the financial position and results of operations of a combination of entities under common control that have been “carved out” of Cummins’ historical combined financial statements and accounting records. The historical combined financial statements reflect our historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Refer to Note 2, Basis of Presentation, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information.

For the period subsequent to May 26, 2023, as a standalone public company, we present our financial statements on a consolidated basis. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve. Demand in these markets tends to fluctuate in response to overall economic conditions. Our revenues may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels, production schedules, commodity prices, work stoppages and supply chain challenges. Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reduced sales of our products and can result in price reductions in certain products and/or markets. As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by currency exchange rate changes, political and economic uncertainty, public health crises (epidemics or pandemics) and regulatory matters, including adoption and enforcement of environmental and emission standards in the countries we serve. Some of the more important factors affecting our performance are briefly discussed below.

Market demand

Aftermarket demand remained depressed in the first half of 2024 reflecting soft market conditions. It is uncertain if a recovery can be expected in the second half of 2024. First-fit demand remained stable during the first half of 2024. In the second half of 2024, we expect first-fit demand to soften across many of our key markets.

Global supply chain

While overall supply chain conditions continue to affect inventory and backlog levels, they have largely stabilized from a year ago with minimal disruptions now being experienced and backorders largely recovered in the first half of 2024. Our management team continues to monitor and evaluate all of these factors and the

Table of Contents

related impacts on our business and operations and we are diligently working to continue to minimize any supply chain impacts to our business and to our customers.

Commodity prices, labor, inflation and foreign currency exchange rates

We continued to experience generally high inflation in the first half of 2024. Direct material cost pressures, driven largely by steel, resin and other petrochemical products, have stabilized, but we continue to see impacts from labor.

During the first six months of 2024, our Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a result of increased people-related and consulting expenses.

Additionally, the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies had a slightly unfavorable impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations in the first half of 2024 due to translation impacts; there can be no assurances that this trend will continue throughout 2024.

Standalone costs

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs associated with becoming a standalone public company. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred approximately $3.8 million of one-time expenses including $(0.3) million within Cost of sales and $4.1 million within Selling, general and administrative expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred approximately $9.8 million of one-time expenses including $3.0 million within Cost of sales and $6.8 million within Selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect to incur one-time expenses of approximately $10 million to $20 million in 2024 in connection with becoming a standalone public company. In addition, we expect to incur capital expenditures in connection with the Separation of approximately $10 million to $20 million in 2024. These expenses and capital expenditures primarily relate to the establishment of functions previously co-mingled with Cummins, such as information technologies, distribution centers and human resources. These expenses and capital expenditures are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2024 but some expenses and capital expenditures may potentially be incurred in 2025. The actual amount of the expenses and capital expenditures we will incur as a stand-alone public company may be higher, perhaps significantly, from our current estimates for a number of reasons, including, among others, the final terms we are able to negotiate with service providers, as well as additional costs we may incur that we have not currently anticipated. Additionally, the actual timing of when we incur these incremental expenses may be different, perhaps significantly, from our current estimates for a number of reasons, including, among others, unforeseen events that may cause delays or interruptions in our plans or our service providers’ ability to provide their services.

Net Sales

Net sales were $432.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $19.0 million compared to $413.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in Net sales was mainly due to higher volumes of approximately $11.8 million and $7.9 million of favorable pricing impacts, partially offset by the unfavorable impacts of currency of $0.6 million.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $131.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $17.5 million compared to $114.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in Gross margin was mainly due to approximately $7.9 million of favorable pricing as described above, higher volumes of approximately $4.1 million, lower one-time separation costs of $2.8 million, $1.8 million of favorable commodities and freight costs and a $1.2 million decrease in manufacturing and other costs, partially offset by $0.3 million in unfavorable currency impacts. Gross margin as a percentage of Net sales was 30.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 27.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $49.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $3.1 million compared to $46.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by increased people-related and consulting expenses, partially offset by lower one-time separation costs of $2.0 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales were 11.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 0.2 percentage points compared to 11.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales was primarily driven by the items noted above increasing at a higher rate in relation to the increase in Net sales.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses were $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.9 million compared to $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to standalone costs being favorable to previously allocated expenses under Cummins. Research, development and engineering expenses as a percentage of Net sales were 2.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of 0.6 percentage points compared to 3.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in Research, development and engineering expenses as a percentage of Net sales was mainly due to the item noted above.

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income From Investees

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees was $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.1 million compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to lower earnings from our joint ventures, primarily in India.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $6.3 million compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in Interest expense was primarily due to interest on our borrowings under the Credit Agreement beginning with our IPO in May 2023.

Income Tax Expense

In connection with the Separation, we entered into a tax matters agreement with Cummins that among other things, formalized our agreement related to the responsibility for historical tax positions for the period prior to the IPO for jurisdictions where our business was included in the consolidated or combined tax returns of Cummins.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 21.8%, a decrease of 2.7 percentage points compared to 24.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate was driven by a change in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and discrete tax items. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to differences in rates applicable to foreign subsidiaries, withholding taxes and state income taxes.

Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to differences in rates applicable to foreign subsidiaries, withholding taxes and state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our facilities under the Credit Agreement provide for $1.0 billion in total availability, which includes a $600 million term loan and a $400 million revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2024, we have outstanding

Table of Contents

borrowings of $600 million on the term loan and zero on the revolving credit facility. As a result, we had capacity under our revolving credit facility of $400 million as of June 30, 2024.

We believe that cash from operations and the facilities under our Credit Agreement will continue to provide sufficient liquidity for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and future payments of our contractual, tax and benefit plan obligations in both the short and long term. Overall, we do not expect negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity. However, if a serious economic or credit market crisis ensues or other adverse developments arise, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our most significant ongoing short-term cash requirements relate primarily to funding operations (including expenditures for raw materials, labor, manufacturing and distribution, trade and promotions, advertising and marketing, tax liabilities, benefit plan obligations and lease expenses) as well as periodic expenditures for anticipated capital investments, interest payments on our long-term debt and supporting any future acquisitions.

Long-term cash requirements primarily relate to funding long-term debt repayments and our long-term benefit plan obligations.

Cash Flow

Our management reviews our liquidity needs in determining any and all indebtedness options. We have the ability to access the capital markets and other sources of liquidity which management believes are sufficient to allow us to manage our business and give us flexibility to meet our short- and long-term financial commitments. Our cash flow activity is noted below:


	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	14.7	$	89.0
Net cash used in investing activities	(22.2)		(19.1)
Net cash provided by financing activities	—		69.7

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $74.3 million compared to Net cash provided by operating activities of $89.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by higher working capital requirements of $68.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, higher working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $91.7 million compared to a cash outflow of $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, mainly due to lower other accrued expenses, driven by variable compensation of $23.7 million and one-time working capital inefficiencies associated with the move from intercompany settlement terms with Cummins to standalone practices of $21.6 million, higher inventories and higher trade receivables.

Dividends received from our unconsolidated equity investees were $9.6 million and $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. During the first quarter of 2024, we received a partial dividend from our joint venture in India which is included in Net cash used in operating activities.

Investing Cash Flow

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was primarily used for capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures were $22.2 million (of which approximately $7.3 million related to one-time separation costs) and $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, corresponding to approximately 2.6% of Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and approximately 2.3% of Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was zero and Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $69.7 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of long-term debt proceeds from our borrowings of $650 million under our Credit Agreement, partially offset by net transfers of $580.3 million to Cummins as part of the Separation.

Contractual Obligations

Our commitments consist of lease obligations for real estate and equipment. For more information regarding our lease obligations, see Note 9, Leases, to the historical consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which provides a summary of our future minimum lease payments.

Debt

Our total debt was $600 million at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 3.4 years. Refer to Note 9, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our debt and debt covenants.

Non-GAAP Measures

We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have detailed the non-GAAP adjustments that we make in our non-GAAP definitions below. We believe the non-GAAP measures should always be considered along with the related U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have provided the reconciliations between the U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures below, and we also discuss our underlying U.S. GAAP results throughout our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q.

Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are listed below and reflect how we evaluate our current and prior-year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When our definitions change, we provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis.

•“EBITDA” is defined as earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and “EBITDA margin” is defined as EBITDA as a percent of Net sales. We believe EBITDA and EBITDA margin are useful measures of our operating performance as they assist investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. Additionally, we believe these metrics are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies and others in our industry in evaluating performance.

•“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA after adding back certain one-time expenses, reflected in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expenses, associated with becoming a standalone public company and “Adjusted EBITDA margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of Net sales. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful measures of our operating performance as it allows investors and debt holders to compare our performance on a consistent basis without regard to one-time costs attributable to our becoming a standalone public company.

•“Adjusted earnings per share” is defined as diluted earnings per share (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) after adding back certain one-time expenses, reflected in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expenses, associated with becoming a standalone public company less the related tax impact of the same one-time expenses. We believe Adjusted earnings per share provides improved comparability of underlying operating results.

Table of Contents

•“Free cash flow” is defined as cash flows provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures and “Adjusted free cash flow” is defined as Free cash flow after adding back certain one-time capital expenditures and other separation related costs associated with becoming a standalone public company. We believe Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow are useful metrics used by management and investors to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value to shareholders.

The metrics defined above are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, U.S. GAAP financial measures and may not be consistent with measures used by other companies. The metrics should be considered supplemental data; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted earnings per share, Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow calculations are derived from amounts included in the consolidated statements of net income and cash flows. We do not consider our non-GAAP financial measures as superior to, or a substitute for, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations are:

•such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•such measures do not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

•other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and not rely on a single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our historical consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our significant accounting estimates are described in the section entitled 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, 2023. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks. We transact business in foreign currencies and, as a result, our income and financial condition are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments. Financial derivatives are used by Atmus expressly for hedging purposes and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes. Substantially all of Atmus’ derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, which provide the option to settle certain contracts on a net basis when they settle on the same day with the same currency. In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event.

To minimize the income volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, Atmus enters into foreign currency forward contracts, which are considered economic hedges and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The objective is to offset the gain or loss from remeasurement with the gain or loss from the fair market valuation of the forward contract.

The potential gain or loss in the fair value of our outstanding foreign currency contracts, assuming a hypothetical 10% fluctuation in the currencies of such contracts, would not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. The sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates assumes the notional value to remain constant for the next 12 months. The analysis ignores the impact of foreign

Table of Contents

exchange movements on our competitive position and potential changes in sales levels. Any change in the value of the contracts, real or hypothetical, would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the value of the underlying hedged items.

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk relates primarily to our $600 million term loan facility and our five-year $400 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under these facilities would bear interest at varying rates, depending on the type of loan and, in some cases, the rates of designated benchmarks and the applicable election made by us. Generally, U.S. dollar-denominated loans would bear interest at an adjusted term SOFR (which includes a 0.10 percent credit spread adjustment to SOFR) for the applicable interest period plus a rate ranging from 1.125 percent to 1.75 percent depending on our net leverage ratio. Based on our outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2024, a 0.125% change in SOFR would have a $0.8 million annual impact on interest expense. Refer to Note 9, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company is in the process of implementing a broad, multi-year, technology transformation project to modernize enterprise resource planning, middleware and legacy systems to achieve better process efficiencies across customer service, merchandising, sourcing, payroll and accounting through the use of various solutions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company implemented a new accounting enterprise performance management system for the consolidation of financial information and reporting. The Company also implemented a new inventory management system at one of its sites and a human resources system during the quarter. There have been no material additional implementations during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. As the Company’s technology transformation project continues, the Company continues to emphasize the maintenance of effective internal controls and assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of key control activities throughout development and deployment of each phase and will evaluate as additional phases are deployed.

There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, Atmus’ internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the revision to the following risk factor as set forth below:

We, or Cummins, may fail to perform under various transaction agreements that were executed as part of the IPO or we may fail to have necessary systems and services in place when certain of the transaction agreements expire.

The separation agreement and other agreements entered into in connection with the IPO determined the allocation of assets and liabilities between Cummins and us following the IPO for those respective areas and include certain indemnifications related to liabilities and obligations. The transition services agreement provides for the performance of certain services by Cummins and us for the benefit of the other for a period of time after the IPO. We will rely on Cummins to satisfy Cummins’ performance and payment obligations under these agreements. If Cummins is unable to satisfy its obligations under these agreements, including its indemnification obligations, we could incur operational difficulties or losses. If we do not have in place our own systems and services, or if we do not have agreements with other providers of these services once certain transaction agreements expire, we may not be able to operate our businesses effectively and our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. We are in the process of creating our own, or engaging third parties to provide, systems and services to replace many of the systems and services that Cummins currently provides to us. However, we may not be successful in implementing these systems and services or in transitioning data from Cummins’ systems to us. In addition, we have historically received certain informal support from Cummins, including customer relationship management, marketing, communications, technical support, market intelligence and market data, which may not be addressed in our transition services agreement. The level of this informal support may be eliminated following the Separation.

Further, as part of the Separation, we implemented interim operational arrangements in certain markets due to regulatory requirements, the need to obtain consents from local governmental authorities, and other business reasons. For example, in Mexico, we currently operate as part of Cummins maquiladora, as we work to stand-up our own maquiladora. A maquiladora requires numerous governmental approvals and consents. If we fail to obtain any of these approvals or consents, or if such approvals or consents are delayed beyond the date agreed to with Cummins as part of the Separation, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be adversely affected.

We also have established or expanded our own tax, treasury, internal audit, investor relations, corporate governance and listed company compliance and other corporate functions. We have been incurring and expect to continue incurring one-time costs to replicate, or outsource from other providers, these corporate functions to replace the corporate services that Cummins historically provided us prior to the IPO. Any failure or significant downtime in our own financial, administrative or other support systems or in the Cummins financial, administrative or other support systems during the transitional period during which Cummins provides us with support could negatively impact our results of operations or prevent us from paying our suppliers and employees, executing business combinations and foreign currency transactions or performing administrative or other services on a timely basis, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In particular, our day-to-day business operations rely on our information technology systems. A significant portion of the communications among our personnel, customers and suppliers take place on our information technology platforms. We expect the separation of information technology systems from Cummins to be complex, time-consuming and costly. There is risk of data loss in the process of transferring information technology. As a result of our reliance on information technology systems, the cost of such information technology integration and transfer and any such loss of key data could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In addition, our historical consolidated financial statements include the attribution of certain assets and liabilities that historically have been held at the Cummins corporate level but which are specifically identifiable or attributable to the businesses transferred to us in connection with the Separation. The value of the assets and liabilities we assumed in connection with the Separation could ultimately be materially different than such attributions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
