NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Crane NXT, Co. is a leading provider of trusted technology solutions to secure, detect, and authenticate our customers’ most valuable assets. We are comprised of two reporting segments: Crane Payment Innovations (“CPI”) and Security and Authentication Technologies (“SAT”). Our primary end markets include governments, brands, financial institutions and a wide range of consumer related end markets including convenience merchandising (vending), retail and gaming. See Note 4, “Segment Results” for the relative size of these segments in relation to the total company (both net sales and total assets).
References herein to “Crane NXT,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Crane NXT, Co. and its subsidiaries, including when Crane NXT, Co. was named “Crane Holdings, Co.” unless the context implies otherwise. References herein to “Holdings” refer to Crane Holdings, Co. and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Separation unless the context implies otherwise.
Separation
On April 3, 2023, Holdings was separated (the “Separation”) into two independent, publicly-traded companies, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company (“SpinCo”), through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the issued and outstanding common stock of SpinCo to the stockholders of Holdings. As part of the Separation, we entered into definitive agreements with SpinCo, including a Tax Matters Agreement, which set forth the terms and conditions of the Separation and provided a framework for our relationship with SpinCo following the Separation. See Note 9, “Income Taxes” for more details on the Tax Matters Agreement.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and, therefore, reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Crane NXT Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, previously filed on Form 10-K on February 20, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. The new standard requires public entities to provide greater disaggregation in their rate reconciliation, including new requirements to present reconciling items on a gross basis within specified categories, to disclose both percentages and dollar amounts, and to disaggregate individual reconciling items by jurisdiction and nature when the effect of the items meets a quantitative threshold. The guidance also includes new requirements to provide users of the financial statements with better information on future cash flow prospects. The standard is effective for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option, and early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its Financial Statements and Disclosures. We do not expect the new standard to have a material impact on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses which intends to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). The standard requires disclosure of these expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its Financial Statements and Disclosures.
The Company considered the applicability and impact of other Accounting Standards Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and determined them to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Balance Sheets and Cash Flows.

Note 3 - Acquisitions
OpSec Acquisition
On May 3, 2024, we acquired OpSec Security (“OpSec”) for a base purchase price of $270 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The amount paid, net of cash acquired and working capital adjustments, was $268.4 million. We utilized $210.0 million from our Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 13, “Financing”) and cash on hand to fund the acquisition.
OpSec provides authentication solutions, brand and digital content protection serving various commercial brands, government agencies and financial institutions.
Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired
The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from our acquisition of OpSec, pending the finalization of certain tangible assets and liabilities to be completed within the measurement period as required by ASC 805. Potential adjustments are not expected to be material in relation to the preliminary values presented below:
Net assets acquired (in millions) | ||||||||
| Total current assets | $ | |||||||
| Property, plant and equipment | ||||||||
| Other assets | ||||||||
| Intangible assets | ||||||||
| Goodwill | ||||||||
| Total assets acquired | $ | |||||||
| Total current liabilities | $ | |||||||
| Other liabilities | ||||||||
| Total assumed liabilities | $ | |||||||
| Net assets acquired | $ | |||||||
The amount allocated to other assumed liabilities includes a contingent liability of $1.5 million related to a prior OpSec acquisition. The amount payable is contingent upon achievement of specific revenue targets and is capped at $2.2 million. The contingency conditions expire at the end of 2026, at which point if the contingency conditions have not been met, no payment will occur. The contingent liability is measured at fair value. See Note 14, “Fair Value Measurements” for further details.
The amount allocated to goodwill reflects expected sales synergies, manufacturing efficiency and research and development. Goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The amounts allocated to acquired intangible assets, and their associated weighted-average useful lives which were determined based on the period in which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows, consist of the following:

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts, where revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. We report contract assets, which are included within “Other current assets” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and contract liabilities, which are included within “Accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities” on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following:

| Current contract liabilities | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Long-term contract liabilities | $ | 13.2 | $ | 13.5 | |||||||
Note 6 - Earnings Per Share
Our basic earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted share units, deferred stock units and performance-based restricted share units. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury method. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

Stock options, restricted share units, deferred stock units and performance-based restricted share units that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti‑dilutive were 0.3 million and 0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Note 9 - Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rates
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the periods presented.
Our effective tax rates are as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||
| Effective Tax Rate | |||||||||||
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is higher than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to the mix of non-U.S. earnings.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of non-U.S. earnings.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (“Pillar 2”) that has been agreed upon by over 140 member jurisdictions including the United States. Pillar 2 addresses the risks associated with profit shifting to entities in low tax jurisdictions. We adopted Pillar 2 in 2024 and the anticipated impact of Pillar 2 on our business for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 is approximately $2.6 million.
The Tax Matters Agreement, among other things, governs our and SpinCo’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits (including any taxes imposed that are attributable to the failure of the Distribution and certain related transactions to qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes), tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. Although enforceable as between the parties, the Tax Matters Agreement will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authorities.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $9.4 million included in “Other liabilities” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies
We regularly review the status of lawsuits, claims and proceedings that have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, environmental and stockholder matters. We record a provision for a liability for such matters when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions, if any, are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. If either or both criteria are not met, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for such matters, we disclose the estimate of the amount of loss or range of loss, disclose that the amount is immaterial, or disclose that an estimate of loss cannot be made, as applicable. We believe that as of March 31, 2025, there was no reasonable possibility that a material loss, or any additional material losses, may have been incurred for such matters.

Credit Facilities - We are party to a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into on March 17, 2023, which provides for a $500 million, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). On December 9, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which increased the Revolving Facility by $200 million to an aggregate $700 million and provided a delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw”) of £300 million to be used as part of the funding for the De La Rue Authentication Solutions acquisition. The delayed draw term loan is subject to customary closing conditions including the closing of the De La Rue Authentication Solutions acquisition.
On March 17, 2023, we also entered into a $350 million, 3-year term loan facility (the “Term Facility”). On December 9, 2024, proceeds from the Revolving Facility were used to repay the outstanding Term Facility.
In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we drew down $106.0 million, and repaid $52.5 million on our Revolving Facility.
The Revolving Facility allows us to borrow, repay and re-borrow funds from time to time prior to the maturity of the Revolving Facility without any penalty or premium, subject to customary borrowing conditions for facilities of this type and the reimbursement of breakage costs. Interest on loans advanced under the Credit Agreement accrues, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (1) adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % for the applicable interest period plus a margin ranging from 1.50 % to 2.25 % or (2) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50 % to 1.25 %, in each case, with such margin as determined by the lower of corporate family credit ratings issued by Moody’s and S&P (the “Ratings”) and our total net leverage ratio. We are required to pay a fee on undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility at a rate per annum that ranges from 0.20 % to 0.35 %, based on the lower of the Ratings and our total net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on our and our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of all or substantially all assets, transactions with affiliates, investments, hedging arrangements and amendments to our organizational documents or to certain subordinated debt agreements. As of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our total net leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (provided that, at our election, such maximum ratio may be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for specified periods following our consummation of certain material acquisitions) and our minimum interest coverage ratio must be at least 3.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by us or any of our material subsidiaries being false in any material respect, default under certain other material indebtedness, certain insolvency or receivership events affecting us and our material subsidiaries, certain ERISA events, material judgments and a change in control, in each case, subject to cure periods and thresholds where customary.

2024 Restructuring - In the first and fourth quarters of 2024, in response to challenging industry conditions, we initiated workforce reductions in CPI, incurring $10.1 million of cumulative severance charges, net through March 31, 2025. We expect to substantially complete the restructuring program in 2025 and do not expect to incur significant additional costs.
2022 Restructuring - In the fourth quarter of 2022, in response to economic uncertainty, we initiated workforce reductions in CPI, incurring $6.7 million of cumulative Restructuring charges through March 31, 2025, of which $5.8 million related to severance and $0.9 million related to other costs. This restructuring program has been completed.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains information about Crane NXT, Co., some of which includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements about our current condition. Investors can identify forward-looking statements by the use of terms such as “believes,” “contemplates,” “expects,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” or “anticipates,” other similar phrases, or the negatives of these terms.
References herein to “Crane NXT,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Crane NXT, Co. and its subsidiaries, including when Crane NXT, Co. was named “Crane Holdings, Co.” unless the context implies otherwise. References herein to “Holdings” refer to Crane Holdings, Co. and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Separation unless the context implies otherwise.
On April 3, 2023, Holdings was separated (the “Separation”) into two independent, publicly-traded companies, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company (“SpinCo”) through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the issued and outstanding common stock of SpinCo to the stockholders of Holdings.
References to "core sales” exclude currency effects and, where applicable, the first-year impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. Amounts in the following discussion are presented in millions, except employee, share and per share data, or unless otherwise stated.
We have based the forward-looking statements relating to our operations on our current expectations, estimates and projections about us and the markets we serve. We caution investors that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. There are a number of other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such factors also include, among others: the impact of tariffs and other trade measures; changes in global economic conditions (including inflationary pressures) and geopolitical risks, including macroeconomic fluctuations; demand for its products, which is variable and subject to factors beyond its control; risks associated with conducting a substantial portion of its business outside the U.S.; information systems and technology networks failures, breaches in data security, theft of personally identifiable and other information, and non-compliance with its contractual or other legal obligations regarding such information; being unable to identify or complete acquisitions, or to successfully integrate the businesses the Company acquires; fluctuation in the prices of, or disruption in its ability to source, components and raw materials, and delays in the distribution of its products; loss of personnel or being able to hire and retain additional personnel needed to sustain and grow its business as planned; being unable to successfully develop and introduce new products, which would limit its ability to grow and maintain its competitive position; governmental regulations and failure to comply with those regulations; the ability to protect its intellectual property; risks from litigation, claims and investigations, including those related to product liability and warranties, and employee, commercial, intellectual property and environmental matters; risks related to its ability to improve productivity, reduce costs and align manufacturing capacity with customer demand; significant competition in the Company's markets; additional tax expenses or exposures; adverse impacts from intangible asset impairment charges; inadequate or ineffective internal controls; and risks related to the Separation, including not obtaining the intended tax treatment of the Separation transaction, failure of Crane Company to perform under the various transaction agreements and actual or potential conflicts of interest with Crane Company; and other risks noted in reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.

We are party to a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into on March 17, 2023, which provides for a $500 million, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), funding under which became available in connection with the Separation. On December 9, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which increased the Revolving Facility by $200 million to an aggregate $700 million and provided a delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw”) of £300 million to be used as part of the funding for the De La Rue Authentication Solutions acquisition discussed below.

General Economic Outlook
The U.S. recently announced significant changes to trade policies and tariffs. As of May 7, 2025, we expect to be able to largely offset the impact of tariffs on operating profit with pricing and productivity initiatives. The extent and duration of tariffs, including retaliatory tariffs, continue to evolve and the related market volatility and exchange rate fluctuations make it challenging to forecast the impact on our operations and results. The broader economic implications resulting from the market volatility may decrease customer demand and negatively impact revenue and profitability. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for more details.

Sales increased by $16.7 million, or 5.3%, to $330.3 million in 2025. The change in sales included:
•sales benefit from the OpSec acquisition of $33.4 million, or 10.6%,
•core sales decline of $12.9 million, or 4.1%, driven primarily by the Currency business, and
•unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3.8 million, or 1.2%.
Cost of sales increased by $28.9 million, or 17.9%, to $190.1 million in 2025. The increase was driven primarily by the impact of the OpSec acquisition of $24.0 million, or 14.9%, under absorption of manufacturing overhead in the Currency business, and unfavorable mix, partially offset by the impact of lower volumes and productivity gains.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.6 million, or 9.1%, to $102.9 million in 2025. The increase was driven primarily by the impact of the OpSec acquisition of $13.2 million, or 14.0%, partially offset by the impact of cost saving actions in CPI.
Operating profit decreased by $18.1 million, or 32.7%, to $37.3 million in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the SAT segment due to the impact of lower volumes, and the dilutive impact of the OpSec Security acquisition. Unfavorable mix was largely offset by productivity gains across both segments.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was higher than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to the mix of non-U.S. earnings.

Sales decreased by $6.1 million, or 2.9%, to $202.9 million in 2025, driven by lower core sales.
•Sales of Payment Acceptance and Dispensing Products decreased by $6.5 million, or 3.7%, to $169.9 million in 2025. The decrease was driven by core sales decline of $5.1 million, or 2.9%, as favorable pricing was more than offset by lower gaming volumes. Included in the sales decrease was unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.4 million, or 0.8%, primarily reflecting the weakening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar.
•Service revenue increased by $0.4 million, or 1.2%, to $33.0 million in 2025, primarily driven by favorable pricing.

•Banknote and security product sales decreased by $10.0 million, or 9.7%, to $93.4 million in 2025.

Included in the sales decrease was unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2.4 million, or 2.3%, primarily reflecting the weakening of the Swedish krona and euro against the U.S. dollar.
•Authentication products and solutions sales increased to $34.0 million in 2025, primarily driven by the sales benefit from the OpSec acquisition.
Cost of sales increased by $29.9 million, or 53.0%, to $86.3 million in 2025, primarily due to the impact of the OpSec acquisition of $24.0 million, or 42.6%, and under absorption of manufacturing overhead related to the planned equipment shutdown.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $10.7 million, or 38.2%, to $38.7 million in 2025, primarily due to the impact of the OpSec acquisition of $13.2 million, or 47.1%.
Operating profit decreased by $17.8 million, or 88.1%, to $2.4 million in 2025, reflecting the impact of lower volumes of $8.1 million, or 40.1%, under absorption of manufacturing overhead net of favorable pricing of $6.3 million, or 31.2%, the dilutive impact of the OpSec acquisition of $4.1 million, or 20.3%, and unfavorable mix of $2.1 million, or 10.4%, partially offset by productivity gains of $3.1 million, or 15.3%.

Our operating philosophy is to deploy cash provided from operating activities, when appropriate, to provide value to stockholders by reinvesting in existing businesses, by making acquisitions that will strengthen and complement our portfolio; by divesting businesses that are no longer strategic or aligned with our portfolio and where such divestitures can generate capacity for strategic investments and initiatives that further optimize our portfolio; by paying dividends and repaying prepayable debt. At any given time, and from time to time, we may be evaluating one or more of these opportunities, although we cannot assure you if or when we will consummate any such transactions.
Our current cash balance, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations along with borrowings available under the Credit Agreement, is expected to be sufficient to finance our short- and long-term capital requirements.
In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we drew down $106.0 million and repaid $52.5 million on our Revolving Facility to fund working capital requirements.
Operating Activities
Cash used for operating activities was $19.1 million in the first three months of 2025, compared with cash provided by operating activities of $9.5 million during the same period last year. The increase in cash used for operating activities was primarily driven by lower net income and higher working capital requirements.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities primarily consists of cash used for capital expenditures and acquisitions. Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting new product development, and improving information systems.
Cash used for investing activities was $13.6 million in the first three months of 2025, compared with $12.5 million in the comparable period last year. The increase in cash used for investing activities was primarily driven by higher cash used for capital expenditures to support the U.S. Currency redesign program and other capital projects.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities consists primarily of dividend payments to shareholders, repayments of indebtedness, and proceeds from our credit facilities.
Cash provided by financing activities was $38.0 million during the first three months of 2025, compared with $10.6 million in the comparable period last year. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by higher net proceeds from the Revolving Facility to fund working capital requirements.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Crane NXT’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of Crane NXT’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Part II: Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Discussion of legal matters is incorporated by reference from Part 1, Item 1, Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and should be considered an integral part of Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.”
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The information presented below supplements the risk factors previously reported in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in such Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The imposition of tariffs and other trade measures by the U.S. and other countries may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The implementation of significant changes to U.S. trade policies and tariffs, as well as retaliatory trade measures taken by other countries, have introduced uncertainty to our business and made it challenging to forecast the impact on our revenue and profitability. The extent and duration of increased tariffs, including retaliatory tariffs, and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors. While we expect to be able to largely offset the impact on operating profit with pricing and productivity initiatives, the broader economic implications resulting from market volatility may decrease customer demand and negatively impact revenue and profitability. U.S. and foreign policy changes and uncertainty about such changes have resulted in increased market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
