Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “predicts,” “intends,” “trends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the factors described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (the “annual report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which include the following: U.S. government policies, actions or legislation (including the imposition of tariffs), economic, political and other risks associated with international operations; availability of raw materials or other manufacturing inputs at favorable prices in sufficient quantities, or at a given time; changes in our relationships with, or the financial condition, performance, purchasing power or inventory levels of, key channel partners; catastrophic events, including global pandemics; dependence on the continued operation of our manufacturing facilities, supply chains, distribution systems and information technology systems; our ability to forecast demand or meet significant increases in demand; our cost-reduction actions; market acceptance of new product introductions and innovations; longer lives of products used in our end markets may affect demand for some of our replacement products; development of the replacement market in emerging markets may limit our ability to grow; pursuit of strategic transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, joint ventures, strategic alliances or investments, which could create risks and present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs; our investments in joint ventures; loss or financial instability of any significant customer; societal responses to sustainability issues, including those related to climate change; the ability to maintain and enhance our strong brand; pricing pressures from customers; cyber-security vulnerabilities, threats, and more sophisticated and targeted computer crimes; failure of information systems; highly complex and rapidly evolving global privacy, data protection and data security requirements; existing or new laws and regulations, including but not limited to those relating to health, safety, and environmental concerns, and the sale of aftermarket products; failure to comply with anti-corruption laws and other laws governing our international operations; recalls, product liability claims or product warranties claims; failure to develop, obtain, enforce and protect our intellectual property rights in all jurisdictions throughout the world; infringement on the intellectual property of others; litigation, legal and regulatory proceedings and obligations, and the availability and coverage of insurance; loss of senior management or key personnel; work stoppages and other labor matters; potential requirement to make additional cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans; change in our effective tax rates or additional tax liabilities; change in tax laws; tax authorities may no longer treat us as being exclusively a resident of the U.K. for tax purposes; and our substantial indebtedness, including interest rate risk, as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider carefully the disclosure in this report and our other filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report and in our other periodic filings.

Gates Industrial Corporation plc

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Introduction

A. Background

Gates Industrial Corporation plc (the “Company”) is a public limited company that was registered in England and Wales on September 25, 2017.

In these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, all references to “Gates,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer, unless the context requires otherwise, to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

B. Accounting periods

The Company prepares its annual consolidated financial statements for the period ending on the Saturday nearest December 31. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity are presented, where relevant, for the 91 day period from December 29, 2024 to March 29, 2025, with comparative information for the 91 day period from December 31, 2023 to March 30, 2024.

C. Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 29, 2025 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP requires us to make assumptions and estimates concerning the future that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are particularly important in accounting for items such as revenue, rebates, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, inventory valuation, financial instruments, expected credit losses, product warranties, income taxes and post-retirement benefits. Estimates and assumptions used are based on factors such as historical experience, observance of trends in the industries in which we operate and information available from our customers and other outside sources.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as Gates’ audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 28, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction therewith. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2024 has been derived from those audited financial statements.

During 2021, the Company implemented a program with an unrelated third party under which we may periodically sell trade accounts receivable from one of our aftermarket customers with whom we have extended payment terms as part of a commercial agreement. The purpose of using this program is to generally offset the working capital impact resulting from this terms extension. All eligible accounts receivable from this customer are covered by the program, and any factoring is solely at our option. Following the factoring of a qualifying receivable, because we maintain no continuing involvement in the underlying receivable, and collectability risk is fully transferred to the unrelated third party, we account for these transactions as a sale of a financial asset and derecognize the asset. Cash received under the program is classified as operating cash inflows in the consolidated statement of cash flows. As of March 29, 2025, the collection of $146.5 million of our trade accounts receivable had been accelerated under this program, compared to the accelerated collection of $148.6 million as of December 28, 2024. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we incurred costs in respect of this program of $1.9 million. During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we incurred costs in respect of this program of $3.2 million.

The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the prior year.

2. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The following accounting pronouncements are relevant to Gates’ operations but have not yet been adopted.

•Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income: Expense Disaggregation Disclosures”

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an ASU to require disclosure of specified information about certain expense amounts comprising of Cost of sales, and Selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as qualitative description of the remaining expense amounts. The amendments in this update are intended to provide investors with additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The updated standard is effective for our annual periods beginning in fiscal year 2027 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

•ASU 2023-06 “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative”

In October 2023, the FASB issued an ASU to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. We do not expect the application of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

•ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes” (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued an ASU that requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The updated standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions and applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The updated standard is effective for our annual periods beginning in fiscal year 2025 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

3. Segment information

A. Background

The segment information provided in these condensed consolidated financial statements reflects the information that is used by the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and in assessing the performance of each segment. The chief executive officer (“CEO”) of Gates serves as the chief operating decision maker. These decisions are based principally on net sales and Adjusted EBITDA (defined below).

B. Operating segments and segment assets

Gates manufactures a wide range of power transmission and fluid power products and components for a large variety of industrial and automotive applications, both in the aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) channels, throughout the world.

Our reportable segments are identified on the basis of our primary product lines, as this is the basis on which information is provided to the CEO for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing the performance of Gates’ businesses. Our operating and reporting segments are therefore Power Transmission and Fluid Power.

Segment asset information is not provided to the chief operating decision maker and therefore segment asset information has not been presented. Due to the nature of Gates’ operations, cash generation and profitability are viewed as the key measures rather than an asset-based measure.

Table of Contents

C. Segment net sales and disaggregated net sales

Sales between reportable segments and the impact of such sales on Adjusted EBITDA for each segment are not included in internal reports presented to the CEO and have therefore not been included below.

Our commercial function is organized by region and therefore, in addition to reviewing net sales by our reportable segments, the CEO also reviews net sales information disaggregated by region and by channels.

The following table summarizes our net sales by key geographic region:


	Three months ended March 29, 2025			Three months ended March 30, 2024

D. Measure of segment profit or loss

The CEO uses Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, to measure the profitability of each segment. Adjusted EBITDA is, therefore, the measure of segment profit or loss presented in Gates’ segment disclosures.

“EBITDA” represents net income from continuing operations for the period before net interest and other expenses (income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Table of Contents

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents EBITDA before certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. During the periods presented, the items excluded from EBITDA in computing Adjusted EBITDA primarily included:

•non-cash charges in relation to share-based compensation;

•transaction-related expenses incurred in relation to major corporate transactions, including the acquisition of businesses, and equity and debt transactions;

•asset impairments;

•restructuring expenses, including severance-related expenses;

•credit loss related to a customer bankruptcy; and

•inventory adjustments related to certain inventories accounted for on a Last-in First-out (“LIFO”) basis.

Adjusted EBITDA by segment was as follows:


	Three months ended
(dollars in millions)	March 29, 2025		March 30, 2024
Power Transmission	$	116.7	$	119.0
Fluid Power	70.6		76.6
Adjusted EBITDA	$	187.3	$	195.6

The table below represents the segment profit or loss provided to the CEO on a quarterly basis:


	Three months ended

Adjusted EBITDA	$	116.7	$	70.6	$	187.3	$	119.0	$	76.6	$	195.6

(1) Adjusted cost of sales excluded inventory impairments and adjustments primarily related to the reversal of the adjustment to remeasure certain inventories on a LIFO basis, and restructuring-related expenses (included in cost of sales).

(2) Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses excluded acquired intangible assets amortization, share-based compensation expense, and restructuring-related expenses (included in SG&A).

(3) On January 31, 2023, one of our customers filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the bankruptcy proceedings, we preliminarily evaluated our potential risk and exposure relating to our outstanding pre-petition accounts receivable balance from the customer and recorded an initial pre-tax charge to reflect our estimated recovery. We continue to monitor the circumstances surrounding the bankruptcy and adjust our estimate as necessary.

(1) Transaction-related expenses relate primarily to advisory fees and other costs recognized in respect of major corporate transactions, including the acquisition of businesses, and equity and debt transactions.

(2) Inventory write-offs and adjustments include the reversal of the adjustment to remeasure certain inventories on a LIFO basis. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, the Company experienced a decrease in inventory values, that resulted in the liquidation of a LIFO inventory layer. This LIFO liquidation did not have a significant effect on net income.

4. Restructuring and restructuring-related expenses

Gates continues to undertake various restructuring and restructuring-related initiatives to drive increased productivity in all aspects of our operations. These actions include efforts to consolidate our manufacturing and distribution footprint, scale operations to current demand levels, streamline our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) back-office functions and relocate certain operations to lower cost locations.

Table of Contents

Overall costs associated with our restructuring and other restructuring-related initiatives have been recognized in the condensed consolidated statements as set forth below. Expenses incurred in relation to certain of these actions qualify as restructuring expenses under U.S. GAAP.

Restructuring and other restructuring-related expenses during the three months ended March 29, 2025 primarily included $2.3 million of costs related to the relocation of certain production activities and reorganization of our operations in Mexico, as well as severance and professional service fees.

Restructuring and other restructuring-related expenses during the three months ended March 30, 2024 related to professional service fees, relocation of certain production activities in Mexico, and other restructuring costs associated with prior period facility closures or relocations in several countries.

Restructuring activities

As indicated above, restructuring expenses form a subset of our total expenses related to restructuring and other restructuring-related initiatives. Analyzed by segment, our restructuring expenses and restructuring-related asset impairments were as follows:


	Three months ended
(dollars in millions)	March 29, 2025		March 30, 2024
Power Transmission	$	1.2	$	0.3
Fluid Power	1.0		0.9
Total restructuring expenses and asset impairments	$	2.2	$	1.2

Table of Contents

The following summarizes the reserve for restructuring expenses for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively:

Balance as of the end of the period	$	2.9	$	3.5

Restructuring reserves, which are expected to be utilized during 2025, are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet within the accrued expenses and other current liabilities line.

5. Income taxes

We compute the year-to-date income tax provision by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income and adjust for discrete tax items in the period in which they occur.

For the three months ended March 29, 2025, we had an income tax expense of $25.2 million on pre-tax income of $93.8 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 26.9%, compared to an income tax expense of $34.5 million on pre-tax income of $80.7 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 42.8% for the three months ended March 30, 2024.

For the three months ended March 29, 2025, the effective tax rate was driven primarily by the jurisdictional mix of earnings and by net discrete tax expense of $0.1 million, comprised of a discrete tax benefit of $6.0 million related to excess tax benefits on stock option exercises and $0.1 million related to other net discrete benefits, offset by discrete expenses of $5.2 million primarily related to changes in the realizability of certain deferred tax assets and $1.0 million related to net unrecognized tax benefits. For the three months ended March 30, 2024, the effective tax rate was driven primarily by the jurisdictional mix of earnings and by discrete tax expenses of $11.7 million, of which $9.1 million related to changes in the realizability of certain deferred tax assets, $1.4 million related to net unrecognized tax benefits, and $1.2 million related to other net discrete expenses.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences arising from differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities under U.S. GAAP and their respective tax bases, and for net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, weighing all positive and negative evidence, and are required to establish or maintain a valuation allowance for these assets if we determine that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

As of each reporting date, we consider new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact our view with regard to the future realization of deferred tax assets. We maintain our positions with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets, including those with respect to which we continue maintaining valuation allowances, until there is sufficient new evidence to support a change in expectations. Such a change in expectations could arise due to many factors, including those impacting our forecasts of future earnings, as well as changes in the international tax laws under which we operate and tax planning. It is not reasonably possible to forecast any such changes at the present time, but it is possible that, should they arise, our view of their effect on the future realization of deferred tax assets may materially impact our financial statements.

After weighing all of the evidence, giving more weight to the evidence that was objectively verifiable, we determined that, as of March 29, 2025, it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets in Türkiye are not realizable. Accordingly, we recognized a valuation allowance and recorded a $4.8 million discrete expense. As a result of changes in future taxable profits against which net operating losses can be utilized, our position and judgment regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets changed.

6. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share represents net income attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share considers the dilutive effect of potential shares, unless the inclusion of the potential shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The treasury stock method is used to determine the potential dilutive shares resulting from assumed exercises of equity-related instruments.

The computation of earnings per share is presented below:

During the three months ended March 29, 2025, the amortization expense recognized in respect of intangible assets was $31.4 million, compared to $32.5 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024. In addition, movements in foreign currency exchange rates resulted in an increase in the net carrying value of total intangible assets of $7.2 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to a decrease of $8.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024.

10. Derivative financial instruments

We are exposed to certain financial risks relating to our ongoing business operations. From time to time, we use derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency swaps, forward foreign currency contracts, interest rate caps (options) and interest rate swaps, to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes and monitor closely the credit quality of the institutions with which we transact.

We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We designate certain of our currency swaps as net investment hedges and designate our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The gain or loss on the designated derivative instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Derivative instruments that have not been designated in an effective hedging relationship are considered economic hedges, and their change in fair value is recognized in net income in each period.

The period end fair values of derivative financial instruments were as follows:


	As of March 29, 2025										As of December 28, 2024
(dollars in millions)	Prepaid expenses and other assets		Other non- current assets		Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		Other non- current liabilities		Net		Prepaid expenses and other assets		Other non- current assets		Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		Other non- current liabilities		Net

Table of Contents

A. Instruments designated as net investment hedges

We hold cross currency swaps that have been designated as net investment hedges of certain of our European and Chinese operations. In July 2024, we executed a new USD-EUR fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap with a notional principal amount of €277.4 million with a contract term from August 2, 2024 to August 2, 2029. In November 2023, we executed a USD to Chinese Yuan fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap with a notional principal amount of ¥1,784.0 million with a contract term from November 30, 2023 to November 30, 2026. During November 2022, we executed additional cross currency swaps with the notional principal amount of €501.6 million and contract term from November 16, 2022 to November 16, 2027. During March 2022, we extended our cross currency swaps with the notional principal amount of €254.5 million existing at that time, which originally matured in March 2022, to now mature on March 31, 2027. As of both March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the aggregated notional principal amounts of the cross currency swaps were €1,033.5 million and ¥1,784.0 million.

The fair value gain before tax recognized in OCI in relation to the instruments designated as net investment hedging instruments were as follows:


	Three months ended
(dollars in millions)		March 29, 2025		March 30, 2024
Net fair value (loss) gain recognized in OCI in relation to:

—Designated cross currency swaps		$	(34.6)	$	19.0
Total net fair value (loss) gain		$	(34.6)	$	19.0

During the three months ended March 29, 2025, a net gain of $4.8 million was recognized in interest expense in relation to our cross currency swaps that have been designated as net investment hedges, compared to a net gain of $3.2 million during the three months ended March 30, 2024.

B. Instruments designated as cash flow hedges

We use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. These instruments are all designated as cash flow hedges. As of both March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we held pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1,255.0 million. Interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $870.0 million run from June 30, 2020 through June 30, 2025, while interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $385.0 million have a contract term from November 16, 2022 to November 16, 2027.

The movements before tax recognized in OCI in relation to our cash flow hedges were as follows:


	Three months ended
(dollars in millions)		March 29, 2025		March 30, 2024
Movement recognized in OCI in relation to:
—Fair value (loss) gain on cash flow hedges		$	(3.6)	$	13.6

—Reclassification from OCI to net income		(6.8)		(9.0)
Total movement		$	(10.4)	$	4.6

C. Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments

We do not designate our currency forward contracts, which are used primarily in respect of operational currency exposures related to payables, receivables and material procurement, or the currency swap contracts that are used to manage the currency profile of Gates’ cash, as hedging instruments for the purposes of hedge accounting.

As of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, there were no outstanding currency swaps.

As of March 29, 2025, the notional amount of outstanding currency forward contracts that are used to manage operational foreign exchange exposures was $180.7 million, compared to $147.5 million as of December 28, 2024.

11. Fair value measurement

A. Fair value hierarchy

We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes the following hierarchy for the inputs that are used in fair value measurement:

•“Level 1” inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•“Level 2” inputs are those other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

•“Level 3” inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are categorized in one of the three levels on the basis of the lowest-level input that is significant to its valuation.

B. Financial instruments not held at fair value

Certain financial assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value; however, items such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, drawings under revolving credit facilities and bank overdrafts generally attract interest at floating rates and accordingly their carrying amounts are considered to approximate fair value. Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable are also considered to approximate their fair values.

The carrying amount and fair value of our debt are set out below:


	As of March 29, 2025				As of December 28, 2024
(dollars in millions)	Carrying amount		Fair value		Carrying amount		Fair value
Current	$	31.6	$	31.4	$	39.1	$	38.7
Non-current	2,308.1		2,327.6		2,311.5		2,314.3
	$	2,339.7	$	2,359.0	$	2,350.6	$	2,353.0

Debt is comprised principally of borrowings under the secured credit facilities and the unsecured senior notes. The dollar term loans under the secured credit facilities pay interest at floating rates, subject to a 0.50% Term SOFR floor as further described in Note 12. The fair values of the term loans are derived from a market price, discounted for illiquidity. The unsecured senior notes have fixed interest rates, are traded by “Qualified Institutional Buyers” and certain other eligible investors, and their fair value is derived from their quoted market price.

Table of Contents

C. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following table categorizes the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


(dollars in millions)	Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant observable inputs (Level 2)		Total
As of March 29, 2025

Derivative assets	$	—	$	23.6	$	23.6
Derivative liabilities	$	—	$	(76.3)	$	(76.3)
Cash equivalents	$	—	$	25.2	$	25.2


As of December 28, 2024

Derivative assets	$	—	$	33.3	$	33.3
Derivative liabilities	$	—	$	(43.9)	$	(43.9)
Cash equivalents	$	41.5	$	30.8	$	72.3

Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 represent foreign currency exchange forward and swap contracts, and interest rate derivative contracts. Cash equivalents included in Level 1 represent treasury bills and money market funds, while Level 2 represent certificates of deposit and commercial paper.

We value our foreign currency exchange derivatives using models consistent with those used by a market participant that maximize the use of market observable inputs including forward prices for currencies.

We value our interest rate derivative contracts using a widely accepted discounted cash flow valuation methodology that reflects the contractual terms of each derivative, including the period to maturity. The methodology derives the fair values of the derivatives using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future cash payments and the discounted expected receipts. The inputs used in the calculation are based on observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads.

We incorporate credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy

During the periods presented, there were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2, and Gates had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

D. Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

Gates has non-recurring fair value measurements related to certain assets, including goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant, and equipment. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we recognized an asset impairment of $0.6 million related to restructuring actions. No significant impairment was recognized during the three months ended March 30, 2024. During April 2024, Gates made a $5.0 million equity investment in a privately held company. Gates does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee and the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value. We elected to recognize the investment at its cost in accordance with ASC 321 “Investments – Equity Securities” and will adjust the fair value of the investment if we identify any observable price changes in orderly transactions.

Gates’ secured debt is jointly and severally, irrevocably and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries and is secured by liens on substantially all of their assets.

Gates is subject to covenants, representations and warranties under certain of its debt facilities. During the periods covered by these condensed consolidated financial statements, we were in compliance with the applicable financial covenants. Also under the agreements governing our debt facilities, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments and paying certain dividends is dependent, in part, on our ability to satisfy tests based on measures determined under those agreements.

On June 4, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our credit agreement governing our term loans and our secured revolving credit facility. As part of this amendment, we upsized the revolving credit commitments and issued a new tranche of $1,300.0 million of dollar-denominated term loans (the “2024 Dollar Term Loans”). The proceeds of the 2024 Dollar Term Loans were used to extinguish the entire outstanding principal balance of dollar-denominated term loans of $1,232.6 million, which was issued on February 24, 2021 (the “2021 Dollar Term Loans”), plus $1.1 million of accrued interest and to redeem a portion of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2026 (as defined below). We issued the 2024 Dollar Term Loans with no discount and incurred third-party costs totaling approximately $9.5 million, which have been deferred and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related borrowings using the effective interest method. The repayment of our 2021 Dollar Term Loans resulted in the accelerated recognition of $11.2 million of deferred issuance costs (recognized in interest expense).

Under the credit agreement amendment, we also repriced our dollar-denominated term loans drawn on November 16, 2022 (the “2022 Dollar Term Loans”), reducing the interest rate spread by 75 basis points from Term SOFR plus 3.00% to Term SOFR plus 2.25%. Third party costs of $0.9 million incurred with the 2022 Dollar Term Loans repricing were recognized in interest expense.

Additionally, as part of the June 2024 amendment to our credit agreement, we increased borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility from $250.0 million to $500.0 million and extended the maturity from November 18, 2026 to the date that is the earliest of (x) June 4, 2029 and (y) April 1, 2029, if greater than $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 (as defined below) are outstanding. We incurred associated third-party costs of approximately $2.5 million, which have been deferred and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the revolving credit facility. Concurrently with this amendment, we terminated the $250.0 million asset-backed revolving credit facility governed by the second amended and restated credit agreement dated as of July 3, 2014 (as amended and restated). The termination of our asset-backed revolving credit facility resulted in the accelerated recognition of $1.0 million of deferred issuance costs (recognized in interest expense).

Table of Contents

On June 4, 2024, we also issued new unsecured senior notes of $500.0 million (the “Dollar Senior Notes due 2029”), and fully redeemed our existing unsecured senior notes due 2026 of $568.0 million aggregate principal amount (the “Dollar Senior Notes due 2026”), which included the payment of $13.7 million of accrued interest thereon. We issued the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 with no discount and incurred third party costs of approximately $7.6 million, which have been deferred and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 using the effective interest method. The redemption of our Dollar Senior Notes due 2026 resulted in the accelerated recognition of $2.6 million of deferred issuance costs (recognized in interest expense).

In February 2024, we made a voluntary principal debt repayment of $100.0 million against our 2021 Dollar Term Loans. As a result of this repayment, we accelerated the recognition of $1.0 million of deferred issuance costs (recognized in interest expense).

Dollar and Euro Term Loans

Our outstanding secured credit facilities consist of two loans, which include the 2024 Dollar Term Loans and the 2022 Dollar Term Loans described above. These term loan facilities bear interest at a floating rate, at our option, at either a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable margin, or Term SOFR plus an applicable margin.

On December 10, 2024, we amended our credit agreement to lower the margin with respect to the 2022 Dollar Term Loans and 2024 Dollar Term Loans by 50 basis points compared to the previous term. The 2022 Dollar Term Loans and 2024 Dollar Term loans bear interest at our option at either Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.50%) plus a margin of 1.75% per annum, or the base rate (subject to a floor of 1.50%) plus 0.75% per annum.

As of March 29, 2025, the 2024 Dollar Term Loans’ interest rate was Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus a margin of 1.75%, and borrowings under this facility bore interest at a rate of 6.07% per annum. The interest rate is currently re-set on the last business day of each month based on the election of one month interest periods. The 2024 Dollar Term Loans mature on June 4, 2031.

As of March 29, 2025, the 2022 Dollar Term Loans’ interest rate as of March 29, 2025 was Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus a margin of 1.75%, and borrowings under this facility bore interest at a rate of 6.07% per annum.

The 2022 Dollar Term Loans and 2024 Dollar Term Loans are subject to quarterly amortization payments of 0.25%, based on the original principal amount less certain repayments with the balance payable on maturity. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we made amortization payments against the 2024 Dollar Term Loans and the 2022 Dollar Term Loans of $3.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we made amortization payments against the 2021 Dollar Term Loans and 2022 Dollar Term Loans of $3.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Under the terms of the credit agreement, we are obliged to offer annually to the term loan lenders an “excess cash flow” amount as defined under the agreement, based on the preceding year’s final results. Based on our 2024 results, the leverage ratio as defined under the credit agreement was below the threshold above which payments are required, and therefore no excess cash flow payment is required to be made in 2025.

Gates Corporation, a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Gates Industrial Holdco Limited (the parent guarantor and direct subsidiary of Gates Industrial Corporation plc), is the principal obligor under the term loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes and makes the payments due on the term loans. As a result, interest received by lenders of this tranche of debt is U.S. source income.

Unsecured Senior Notes

As of March 29, 2025, we had $500.0 million of Senior Notes due 2029 outstanding that were issued on June 4, 2024. The Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 are scheduled to mature on July 1, 2029 and bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 6.875% with semi-annual interest payments.

Table of Contents

Prior to July 1, 2026, we may redeem the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029, at our option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a “make-whole” redemption price. In addition, on or subsequent to July 1, 2026, we may redeem the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029, at our option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date:


	Redemption price
On or subsequent to:
—July 1, 2026	103.438	%
—July 1, 2027	101.719	%
—July 1, 2028 and thereafter	100.000	%

Additionally, net cash proceeds from an equity offering can be utilized at any time prior to July 1. 2026, to redeem up to 40% of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 at a redemption price equal to 106.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest through to the redemption date.

Upon the occurrence of specified types of change of control or of certain qualifying asset sales, the holders of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 will have the right to require us to make an offer to repurchase each holder's notes at a price equal to 101% (in the case of a change of control offer) or 100% (in the case of an asset sale offer) of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

As noted above, on June 4, 2024, we redeemed all $568.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Dollar Senior Notes due 2026 using primarily the proceeds from the issuance of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029.

Revolving credit facility

We have a secured revolving credit facility that provides for multi-currency revolving loans. On June 4, 2024, we amended the credit agreement governing this facility to increase the size of the facility from $250.0 million to $500.0 million, and extended the maturity date from November 18, 2026 to the date that is the earliest of (x) June 4, 2029 and (y) April 1, 2029, if greater than $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 are outstanding. This facility also includes a letter of credit sub-facility of $150.0 million. Debt under the revolving credit facility bears interest at a floating rate, at our option, at either a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable margin or the reference rate plus an applicable margin.

On January 21, 2025, we amended our credit agreement to lower the margin with respect to the revolving loans by 50 basis points compared to the previous term. The revolving loans bear interest at our option either Term SOFR (subject to a floor of —%) plus a margin of 1.75% per annum or the base rate plus 0.75% per annum. The applicable margin for the revolving credit facility borrowings will be subject to one 25 basis point step down determined in accordance with Gates Industrial Holdco Limited achieving a certain consolidated first lien net leverage level.

The letters of credit outstanding under this facility were $28.8 million and $28.2 million as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. In addition, Gates had other outstanding performance bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees amounting to $12.4 million as of March 29, 2025, compared to $12.3 million as of December 28, 2024.

13. Post-retirement benefits

Gates provides defined benefit pension plans in certain of the countries in which it operates, in particular, in the U.S. and U.K. All of the defined benefit pension plans are closed to new entrants. In addition to the funded defined benefit pension plans, Gates has unfunded defined benefit obligations to certain current and former employees.

Gates also provides other post-retirement benefits, principally health and life insurance coverage, on an unfunded basis to certain of its employees in the U.S. and Canada.

Net periodic benefit cost (income)

The components of the net periodic benefit cost for pensions and other post-retirement benefits were as follows:


	Three months ended March 29, 2025						Three months ended March 30, 2024
(dollars in millions)	Pensions		Other post-retirement benefits		Total		Pensions		Other post-retirement benefits		Total

The components of the above net periodic benefit cost for pensions and other post-retirement benefits that are reported outside of operating income are all included in the other expenses (income) line in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

For 2025 as a whole, we expect to contribute approximately $10.8 million to our defined benefit pension plans and approximately $2.8 million to our other post-retirement benefit plans.

14. Share-based compensation

The Company operates a share-based incentive plan over its shares to provide incentives to Gates’ senior executives and other eligible employees. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we recognized a charge of $6.1 million compared to $8.6 million during the three months ended March 30, 2024.

Awards issued under the 2014 Gates Industrial Corporation plc Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”)

Gates has a number of share-based incentive awards issued under the 2014 Plan, which was assumed by the Company and renamed the Gates Industrial Corporation plc Stock Incentive Plan in connection with our initial public offering in January 2018 (our “IPO”). No new awards have been granted under this plan since 2017. The options granted prior to our IPO were split equally into four tiers, each with specific vesting conditions. Tier I, Tier II and IV options all vested, while the performance conditions associated with Tier III were not achieved and therefore expired during 2022. All the options expire ten years after the date of grant.

Due to Chinese regulatory restrictions on foreign stock ownership, awards granted under this plan to Chinese employees have been issued as stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The terms of these SARs are identical to those of the options described above with the exception that no share is issued on exercise; instead, cash equivalent to the increase in the value of the shares from the date of grant to the date of exercise is paid to the employee. These awards are therefore treated as liability awards under Topic 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” and are revalued to their fair value at each period end. The SARs have the same vesting terms as the Tier II, III and IV option awards described above. All Tier III SARs expired during 2022 as the specific performance conditions were not achieved.

Changes in the awards granted under this plan are summarized in the tables below.

Awards issued under the Gates Industrial Corporation plc 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”)

In conjunction with the initial public offering in January 2018, Gates adopted the 2018 Plan, which is a market-based long-term incentive program that allows for the issue of a variety of equity-based and cash-based awards, including stock options, SARs and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

Table of Contents

The SARs issued under this plan take the form of options, except that no share is issued on exercise; instead, cash equivalent to the increase in the value of the shares from the date of grant to the date of exercise is paid to the employee. These awards are therefore treated as liability awards under Topic 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” and are revalued to their fair value at each period end. The SARs and the majority of the share options issued under this plan vest evenly over either three years or four years from the grant date. Certain premium-priced options vested evenly over a three-year period, starting two years from the grant date. All options vest subject to the participant’s continued employment by Gates on the vesting date and expire ten years after the date of grant.

The RSUs issued under the plan consist of time-vesting RSUs and performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”). The time-vesting RSUs vest evenly over either one or three years from the date of grant, subject to the participant’s continued provision of service to Gates on the vesting date. The outstanding PRSUs provide that 75% of the award will generally vest if Gates achieves a certain level of average annual adjusted return on invested capital as defined in the plan (“Adjusted ROIC”) and the remaining 25% of the PRSUs will generally vest if Gates achieves certain relative total shareholder return (“Relative TSR”) goals, in each case, measured over a three-year performance period and subject to the participant’s continued employment through the end of the performance period. The total number of PRSUs that vest at the end of the performance period will range from 0% to 200% of the target based on actual performance against a pre-established scale.

Table of Contents

Valuation of awards granted during the period

The grant date fair value of the SARs are measured using a Black-Scholes valuation model. RSUs are valued at the share price on the date of grant. The Relative TSR component of the PRSUs were valued using Monte Carlo simulations. As Gates only has volatility data for its shares for the period since its IPO, this volatility has, where necessary, been weighted with the debt-levered volatility of a peer group of public companies in order to determine the expected volatility over the expected option life. The expected option life represents the period of time for which the options are expected to be outstanding and is based on consideration of the contractual life of the option, option vesting period, and historical exercise patterns. The weighted average fair values and relevant assumptions were as follows:


	Three months ended
	March 29, 2025			March 30, 2024
Weighted average grant date fair value:
—SARs	$	9.96		$	6.95


—RSUs	$	21.63		$	14.87
—PRSUs	$	23.55		$	16.37

Inputs to the model:

In February 2024, the Company’s Board approved a share repurchase program for up to $100.0 million in authorized share repurchases, with an expiration date of October 6, 2024. On February 12, 2024, the Company, certain selling shareholders affiliated with Blackstone, and the representatives of the several underwriters entered into an underwriting agreement pursuant to which the selling shareholders sold to the underwriters 20,125,000 ordinary shares of the Company at a price of $12.045 per ordinary share (the “February 2024 Offering”). The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares in the February 2024 Offering, which closed on February 16, 2024. In connection with the February 2024 Offering, the Company repurchased 4,151,100 ordinary shares through Citigroup Global Markets Inc. from the same selling shareholders at a price of $12.045 per ordinary share for an aggregate consideration of approximately $50.0 million (the “February 2024 Repurchase”), plus costs paid directly related to the transaction of $0.3 million. This repurchase was funded by cash on hand. All shares repurchased pursuant to the February 2024 Repurchase were cancelled.

In July 2024, the Company’s Board cancelled the then existing share repurchase program and approved a new share repurchase program, providing for up to $250.0 million in share repurchases, which expires on December 31, 2025. On August 16, 2024, the Company, certain selling shareholders affiliated with Blackstone, and the representatives of the several underwriters entered into an underwriting agreement pursuant to which the selling shareholders sold to the underwriters 23,000,000 ordinary shares of the

This repurchase was funded by cash on hand and a borrowing of $40.0 million under Gates’ secured revolving credit facility. All shares repurchased pursuant to the August 2024 Repurchase were cancelled.

During the three months ended March 29, 2025, the Company repurchased 672,911 shares under the existing share repurchase program in the open market at a total cost of approximately $12.9 million, plus costs paid directly related to the transaction of $0.1 million.

18. Commitments and contingencies

A. Contingencies

Gates is, from time to time, party to general legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Gates is also, from time to time, party to legal proceedings and claims in respect of environmental obligations, product liability, intellectual property, commercial and contractual disputes, employment matters and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business and against which management believes Gates has meritorious defenses available. When appropriate, management consults with legal counsel and other appropriate experts to assess claims. If, in management’s opinion, we have incurred a probable loss as set forth by U.S. GAAP, an estimate is made of the loss and the appropriate accrual is reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Currently, there are no material amounts accrued.

While it is not possible to quantify the financial impact or predict the outcome of all pending claims and litigation, management does not anticipate that the outcome of any current proceedings or known claims, either individually or in aggregate, will materially affect Gates’ financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our annual report.

Our Company

We are a global manufacturer of innovative, highly engineered power transmission and fluid power solutions. We offer a broad portfolio of products to diverse replacement channel customers, and to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) as specified components, with the majority of our revenue coming from replacement channels. Our products are used in applications across numerous end markets, including: automotive replacement, automotive OEM, diversified industrial, industrial off-highway, industrial on-highway, energy and resources and personal mobility. Our net sales have historically been, and remain, highly correlated with industrial activity and utilization, and not with any single end market given the diversification of our business and high exposure to replacement markets. We sell our products globally under the Gates brand, which is recognized by distributors, equipment manufacturers, installers and end users as a premium brand for quality and technological innovation; this reputation has been built over more than 110 years since Gates’ founding in 1911.

Within the diverse end markets we serve, our highly engineered products are often critical components in applications for which the cost of downtime is high relative to the cost of our products, resulting in the willingness of end users to pay a premium for superior performance and availability. These applications subject our products to normal wear and tear, resulting in natural, and often preventative, replacement cycles that drive high-margin, recurring revenue. Our product portfolio represents one of the broadest ranges of power transmission and fluid power products in the markets we serve, and we maintain long-standing relationships with a diversified group of well-known customers throughout the world. As a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of highly engineered, mission-critical products, we have become an industry leader across most of our end markets and the regions in which we operate.

Business Trends

The diversification of our business limits our exposure to trends in any given end market. In addition, a majority of our sales are generated from customers in replacement channels, who serve primarily a large base of installed equipment that follows a natural maintenance cycle that is somewhat less susceptible to various trends that affect our end markets. Such trends include infrastructure investment and construction activity, agricultural production and related commodity prices, commercial and passenger vehicle production, miles driven and fleet age, evolving regulatory requirements related to emissions and fuel economy and oil and gas prices and production. Key indicators of our performance include industrial production, industrial sales and manufacturer shipments.

During the three months ended March 29, 2025, sales into replacement channels accounted for approximately 68% of our total net sales. Our replacement sales cover a very broad range of applications and industries and, accordingly, are highly correlated with industrial activity and utilization and not a single end market. Replacement products are principally sold through distribution partners that may carry a very broad line of products or may specialize in products associated with a smaller set of end market applications.

During the three months ended March 29, 2025, sales into OEM channels accounted for approximately 32% of our total net sales. OEM sales are to a variety of industrial and automotive customers. Our industrial OEM customers cover a diverse range of industries and applications and many of our largest OEM customers manufacture construction and agricultural equipment.

During the three months ended March 29, 2025, our replacement channel sales grew modestly, and personal mobility had strong growth while we continued to experience ongoing softness in certain industrial end markets.

Our global operating footprint and worldwide sales reach expose us to risks associated with trade conflicts between the U.S. and its trading partners. Escalating global trade conflicts due to recent U.S. and retaliatory tariffs and geopolitical tensions have led to, and may continue to lead to, inflationary pressures, uncertainty, and volatility in the market and, therefore, could impact our operations,

supply chain and financial performance. While we have not experienced a significant change in customer demand or significant disruptions to our supply chain, we have begun to experience cost increases and expect additional costs, primarily for our businesses in North America and China. We are taking actions to mitigate the impact of tariffs through price increases and adjustments to our supply chain and operations, and intend to offset any incremental tariff impacts for the remainder of the year. Whether these strategies or other effects of the tariffs will impact customer behaviors, including future demand for our products, remains uncertain. We will continue to monitor and evaluate risks related to the tariffs and any resulting impact on macroeconomic conditions and our business. For further information regarding the risks and uncertainties associated with U.S. government policies, actions or legislation, please refer to “Part II - Item 1A: Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Global conflicts, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and sanctions and counter-sanctions imposed in response, created increased economic uncertainty and operational complexity both in Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and globally, the impacts of which we cannot fully predict.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses

SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 29, 2025 were $217.3 million compared to $211.7 million for the prior year period. This increase of $5.6 million was primarily attributable to higher corporate-owned life insurance related expenses of $6.6 million, and higher consulting and professional fees of $1.7 million. This increase was partially offset by lower stock based compensation of $2.5 million during the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to prior year period.

Transaction-related expenses

Transaction-related expenses for the three months ended March 29, 2025 were $0.4 million compared to $0.4 million for the prior year period. Transaction-related expenses incurred during the three months ended March 29, 2025 were primarily related to certain non-recurring debt related costs. Transaction-related expenses incurred during the three months ended March 30, 2024 primarily related to a secondary offering by a selling shareholder.

Restructuring expenses

Interest expense

Our interest expense was as follows:


	Three months ended

		$	29.6	$	37.5

Table of Contents

Details of our long-term debt are presented in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Interest on debt for the three months ended March 29, 2025 decreased when compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the combination of favorable impact of derivatives and lower interest rates applicable on the floating rate Dollar Term Loans. Amortization of deferred issuance costs during the three months ended March 30, 2024 included the accelerated amortization of $1.0 million due to the $100.0 million repayment against our 2021 Dollar Term Loans (as defined below) in February 2024.

Other expenses (income)

Our other expenses (income) were as follows:


	Three months ended
(dollars in millions)		March 29, 2025		March 30, 2024
Interest income on bank deposits		$	(2.2)	$	(5.7)
Foreign currency loss (gain) on net debt and hedging instruments		2.1		(0.8)

Net adjustments related to post-retirement benefits		0.4		(0.7)
Foreign currency loss on hyperinflation remeasurement		1.0		3.4
Other		—		2.3
		$	1.3	$	(1.5)

Other expenses for the three months ended March 29, 2025 were $1.3 million, compared to $1.5 million of income in the prior year period. This change was driven primarily by the impact of lower interest income on bank deposits compared to the prior year period due to lower interest rates, and unfavorable net movements in foreign currency exchange rates on net debt and hedging instruments. The decrease was partially offset by a lower foreign currency remeasurement loss related to translation adjustments for entities that operate in highly inflationary economies, specifically Argentina and Türkiye.

Income tax expense

For the three months ended March 29, 2025, the effective tax rate was driven primarily by the jurisdictional mix of earnings and by net discrete tax expense of $0.1 million comprised of a discrete tax benefit of $6.0 million related to excess tax benefits on stock option exercises and $0.1 million related to other net discrete benefits, offset by discrete expenses of $5.2 million primarily related to changes in the realizability of certain deferred tax assets and $1.0 million related to net unrecognized tax benefits. For the three months ended March 30, 2024, the effective tax rate was driven primarily by the jurisdictional mix of earnings and by discrete tax expenses of $11.7 million, of which $9.1 million related to changes in the realizability of certain deferred tax assets, $1.4 million related to net unrecognized tax benefits, and $1.2 million related to other net discrete expenses.

Numerous foreign jurisdictions, including the U.K., have enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation to adopt a minimum effective tax rate described in the Global Anti-Base Erosion, or Pillar Two, model rules issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD. Under such rules, a minimum effective tax rate of 15% would apply to multinational companies with consolidated revenue above €750 million. Under the Pillar Two rules, a company would be required to determine a combined effective tax rate for all entities located in a jurisdiction. If the jurisdictional effective tax rate determined under the Pillar Two rules is less than 15%, a top-up tax will be due to bring the jurisdictional effective tax rate up to 15%. We are continuing to monitor the pending implementation of Pillar Two by individual countries and the potential effects of Pillar Two on our business. We do not expect the provisions effective in 2025 to have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Analysis by Operating Segment

Power Transmission (62.2% of Gates’ net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2025)


	Three months ended
(dollars in millions)	March 29, 2025			March 30, 2024			Period over Period Change
Net sales	$	527.2		$	532.8		(1.1	%)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	116.7		$	119.0		(1.9	%)
Adjusted EBITDA margin	22.1		%	22.3		%

Net sales in Power Transmission for the three months ended March 29, 2025 decreased by 1.1%, or $5.6 million, compared to the prior year period. Net sales in Power Transmission experienced a $8.8 million increase driven by higher volumes and a $2.5 million benefit from favorable pricing. Power Transmission’s net sales were adversely impacted by movements in average currency exchange rates of $16.9 million. As such, core sales increased by 2.1%, or $11.3 million.

Power Transmission’s core sales growth was primarily driven by higher sales to customers in our replacement channels, which increased by 3.6% during the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the prior year period. Sales to our automotive replacement channel contributed most of the growth, with an increase of 5.8% in core sales. Industrial OEM sales also grew by 12.0% as compared to the prior year period primarily in EMEA. Power Transmission experienced an increase of sales in personal mobility and automotive end markets of 40.4% and 2.3%, respectively. The majority of the personal mobility growth was focused in EMEA, while the automotive end market grew most significantly in North America, with an increase of 10.8% during the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the prior year period.

Power Transmission Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 29, 2025 decreased by 1.9%, or $2.3 million, compared to the prior period. This decrease was driven primarily by a combination of increased SG&A expenses and the adverse net impact of movements in average currency exchange rates, partially offset by favorable benefits from pricing and enterprise initiatives that favorably impacted manufacturing performance. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 29, 2025 was 22.1%, a 20 basis point decrease from the prior year period Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.3%.

Fluid Power (37.8% of Gates’ net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2025)


	Three months ended
(dollars in millions)	March 29, 2025			March 30, 2024			Period over Period Change
Net sales	$	320.4		$	329.8		(2.9	%)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	70.6		$	76.6		(7.8	%)
Adjusted EBITDA margin	22.0		%	23.2		%

Net sales in Fluid Power for the three months ended March 29, 2025 decreased by 2.9%, or $9.4 million. Lower volumes drove $2.8 million of the decrease, which was more than offset by a $3.2 million benefit from pricing. Impact by movements in average currency exchange rates of $9.8 million was the primary driver of Fluid Power’s net sales decline. As such, core sales increased by 0.1%, or $0.4 million, compared to the prior year period.

Fluid Power’s core sales increase in the three months ended March 29, 2025 was primarily driven by increases in sales to customers in our replacement channel. Sales to our automotive replacement customers grew by 14.7% compared to the prior year period, predominately from North America and EMEA. The increase was partially offset by a 10.4% decrease in industrial OEM channel compared to the prior year period, particularly focused in North America. The core sales to our industrial end markets experienced a moderate decline of 2.4% compared to prior year period, primarily driven by construction, energy and agriculture end markets.

Fluid Power Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 29, 2025 decreased by 7.8%, or $6.0 million, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by a combination of lower absorption of fixed costs and volumes, partially offset by favorable benefits from pricing and favorable mix of replacement channel sales to OEM channel sales. The Adjusted EBITDA margin consequently decreased by 120 basis points compared to the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Treasury Responsibilities and Philosophy

Our primary liquidity and capital resource needs are for working capital, debt service requirements, capital expenditures, share repurchases, facility expansions and acquisitions. We expect to finance our future cash requirements with cash on hand, cash flows from operations and, where necessary, borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility. We have historically relied on our cash flow from operations and various debt and equity financings for liquidity.

From time to time, we enter into currency derivative contracts to manage currency transaction exposures. Similarly, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate derivatives to maintain the desired mix of floating and fixed rate debt.

As market conditions warrant, we may from time to time seek to repurchase securities that we have issued or loans that we have borrowed in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, any such purchases of ordinary shares or other securities or loans may be funded by existing cash or by incurring new secured or unsecured debt, including borrowings under our credit facilities. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchases of debt securities or loans may relate to a substantial amount of a particular tranche of debt, with a corresponding reduction, where relevant, in the trading liquidity of that debt. In addition, any such purchases of debt made at prices below the “adjusted issue price” (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) may result in taxable cancellation of indebtedness income to us, which may be material, and result in related adverse tax consequences to us.

It is our policy to retain sufficient liquidity throughout the capital expenditure cycle to maintain our financial flexibility. We do not have any meaningful debt maturities until 2029; however, we regularly evaluate market conditions, our liquidity profile, and various financing alternatives for opportunities to enhance our capital structure, and may refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We do not anticipate any material long-term deterioration in our overall liquidity position in the foreseeable future, and believe that we have adequate liquidity and capital resources for the next twelve months.

Cash Flow

Three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024

Cash provided by operating activities was $7.3 million during the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to cash used in operating activities of $21.0 million during the prior year period, driven primarily by a favorable $16.4 million in trade working capital movement, a decrease of $16.8 million in income taxes paid, and a decrease of $9.0 million interest paid compared to the prior year period.

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 29, 2025 was $31.0 million, compared to $19.5 million in the prior year period. The increase of cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by increased capital expenditures of $8.1 million and a $5.1 million increase in net cash paid under company-owned life insurance policies compared to the prior year period.

Net cash used in financing activities was $24.6 million during the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to $148.9 million in the prior year period. Current year outflows were primarily related to the $13.0 million paid to acquire shares under our share repurchase program, $4.7 million debt repayment, and $11.5 million of employee taxes paid from share withheld on exercised options.

Indebtedness

Our long-term debt, consisting principally of secured term loans and the U.S. dollar denominated unsecured notes, was as follows:

We refer to the term loans denominated in U.S. dollars as the “Dollar Term Loans” and the unsecured senior notes denominated in U.S. dollars as the “Dollar Senior Notes”. The Dollar Term Loans that were issued on February 24, 2021 are referred to as the “2021 Dollar Term Loans”, which were extinguished on June 4, 2024. The new tranche of dollar term loans that were issued on June 4, 2024 are referred to as the “2024 Dollar Term Loans”, and the Dollar Term Loans that were issued on November 16, 2022 and repriced on June 4, 2024 are referred to as the “2022 Dollar Term Loans.” Details of our long-term debt are presented in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Debt issuances and redemptions

On June 4, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our credit agreement governing our term loans and our secured revolving credit facility. As part of this amendment, we upsized the revolving credit commitments and issued the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. The proceeds of the 2024 Dollar Term Loans were used to extinguish the entire outstanding principal balance of the 2021 Dollar Term Loans plus $1.1 million of accrued interest and to redeem a portion of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2026 (as defined below). We issued the 2024 Dollar Term Loans with no discount and incurred third party costs totaling approximately $9.5 million, which have been deferred and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related borrowings using the effective interest method. The repayment of our 2021 Dollar Term Loans resulted in the accelerated recognition of $11.2 million of deferred issuance costs (recognized in interest expense).

Table of Contents

On June 4, 2024, we also issued new Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 of $500.0 million (the “Dollar Senior Notes due 2029”), and fully redeemed our existing Dollar Senior Notes due 2026 of $568.0 million aggregate principal amount (the “Dollar Senior Notes due 2026”), which included the payment of $13.7 million of accrued interest thereon. We issued the new Dollar Senior Notes with no discount and incurred third party costs of approximately $7.6 million, which have been deferred and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the new Dollar Senior Notes using the effective interest method. The redemption of our Dollar Senior Notes due 2026 resulted in the accelerated recognition of $2.6 million of deferred issuance costs (recognized in interest expense).

Amendments to credit agreements

On January 21, 2025, we amended our credit agreement to lower the margin with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans by 50 basis points compared to the previous term. The Revolving Credit Loans bear interest at our option either Term SOFR (subject to a floor of —%) plus a margin of 1.75% per annum or the base rate plus 0.75% per annum. The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings will be subject to one 25 basis point step down determined in accordance with Gates Industrial Holdco Limited achieving a certain consolidated first lien net leverage level.

On December 10, 2024, we amended our credit agreement to lower the margin with respect to the 2022 Dollar Term Loans and 2024 Dollar Term Loans by 50 basis points compared to the previous term. The 2022 Dollar Term Loans and 2024 Dollar Term Loans bear interest, at our option at, either Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.50%), plus a margin of 1.75% per annum, or the base rate (subject to a floor of 1.50%) plus 0.75% per annum.

On June 4, 2024, we amended the 2022 Dollar Term Loans’ interest rate to be, at our option, either Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.50%), plus a margin of 2.25% per annum or the base rate (subject to a 1.50% per annum floor), plus 1.25% per annum.

On June 4, 2024, as part of an amendment to our credit agreement, we increased borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility from $250.0 million to $500.0 million and extended the maturity from November 18, 2026 to the date that is the earliest of (x) June 4, 2029 and (y) April 1, 2029, if greater than $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 are outstanding. We incurred associated third party costs of approximately $2.5 million, which have been deferred and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the revolving credit facility. Concurrently with this amendment, we terminated the $250.0 million asset-backed revolving credit facility governed by the second amended and restated credit agreement dated as of July 3, 2014 (as amended and restated).

Non-guarantor subsidiaries

The majority of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries are guarantors of the senior secured credit facilities.

For the three months ended March 29, 2025, before intercompany eliminations, our non-guarantor subsidiaries represented approximately 72% of our net sales and 63% of our EBITDA as defined in the financial covenants attaching to the senior secured credit facilities. As of March 29, 2025, before intercompany eliminations, our non-guarantor subsidiaries represented approximately 66% of our total assets and approximately 26% of our total liabilities.

Borrowing Headroom

On June 4, 2024, we extinguished our asset-backed revolving credit facility as discussed further in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. As part of an amendment to our credit agreement, we increased borrowing capacity under our secured revolving credit facility that provides for multi-currency revolving loans from $250.0 million to $500.0 million and extended the maturity from November 18, 2026 to the date that is the earliest of (x) June 4, 2029 and (y) April 1, 2029, if greater than $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Senior Notes due 2029 are outstanding. As of March 29, 2025, there were letters of credit outstanding against the facility amounting to $28.8 million and no drawings on the revolving credit facility. As of March 29, 2025, our total committed borrowing headroom was $471.2 million, in addition to cash balances of $640.2 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

“EBITDA” is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income or loss from continuing operations for the period before the impact of income taxes, net interest and other expenses, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is widely used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate the profitability of companies. EBITDA eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting net finance costs), tax positions (such as the availability of net operating losses against which to relieve taxable profits), the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense).

Management uses “Adjusted EBITDA” as its key profitability measure. This is a non-GAAP measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as our measure of segment profitability to assess the performance of our businesses, and it is used for total Gates as well because we believe it is important to consider our profitability on a basis that is consistent with that of our operating segments, as well as that of certain of our peer companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA should, therefore, be made available to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to assist in their assessment of the performance of our businesses.

During the periods presented, the items excluded from EBITDA in computing Adjusted EBITDA primarily included:

•non-cash charges in relation to share-based compensation;

•transaction-related expenses incurred in relation to major corporate transactions, including the acquisition of businesses and related integration activities, and equity and debt transactions;

•asset impairments;

•restructuring expenses, including severance-related expenses;

•credit gain related to a customer bankruptcy; and

•inventory adjustments related to certain inventories accounted for on a LIFO basis.

Differences exist among our businesses and from period to period in the extent to which their respective employees receive share-based compensation or a charge for such compensation is recognized. We therefore exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the non-cash charges in relation to share-based compensation in order to assess the relative performance of our businesses.

We exclude from Adjusted EBITDA acquisition-related costs that are required to be expensed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We also exclude costs associated with major corporate transactions because we do not believe that they relate to our performance. Other items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because they are individually or collectively significant items that are not considered to be representative of the underlying performance of our businesses. During the periods presented, we excluded restructuring, restructuring-related expenses, and asset impairments that reflect specific actions taken by management to shutdown, downsize, or otherwise fundamentally reorganize areas of Gates’ business. We also excluded a credit gain related to a customer bankruptcy, share based compensation, and changes in the LIFO inventory reserve recognized in cost of sales for certain inventories that are valued on a LIFO basis. During inflationary or deflationary pricing environments, LIFO adjustments can result in variability of the cost of sales recognized each period as the most recent costs are matched against current sales, while historical, typically lower, costs are retained in inventory. LIFO adjustments are determined based on published pricing indices, which often are not representative of the actual cost changes or timing of those changes as experienced by our business. Excluding the impact from the application of LIFO therefore improves the comparability of our financial performance from period to period and with the Company’s peers, and more closely represents the physical flow of our inventory and how we manage the business.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items that can have a significant effect on our profit or loss and should, therefore, be used in conjunction with, not as substitutes for, profit or loss for the period. Management compensates for these limitations by separately monitoring net income from continuing operations for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA		$	187.3	$	195.6

(2) Inventory write-offs and adjustments include the reversal of the adjustment to remeasure certain inventories on a LIFO basis. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, the Company experienced a decrease in inventory values that resulted in the liquidation of a LIFO inventory layer. This LIFO liquidation did not have a significant effect on net income.

Core sales and core sales growth reconciliations

Core sales is a non-GAAP measure that represents net sales for the period excluding the impacts of movements in average currency exchange rates and the first-year impacts of acquisitions and disposals, when applicable. Core sales growth is the change in core sales expressed as a percentage of prior period net sales. We present core sales growth because it allows for a meaningful comparison of year-over-year performance without the volatility caused by foreign currency gains or losses or the incomparability that would be caused by impacts of acquisitions or disposals. Management believes that this measure is therefore useful for securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to assist in their assessment of the operating performance of our businesses. The closest GAAP measure is net sales.


	Three months ended March 29, 2025
(dollars in millions)	Power Transmission			Fluid Power			Total
Net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2025	$	527.2		$	320.4		$	847.6

Adjusted EBITDA adjustments for ratio calculation purposes

The financial maintenance ratio in our credit agreement and other ratios related to incurrence-based covenants (measured only upon the taking of certain actions, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness) under our credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility and our term loan facility and the indenture governing our outstanding notes are calculated in part based on financial measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA as presented elsewhere in this report, which financial measures are determined at the Gates Industrial Holdco Limited level and adjust for certain additional items such as severance costs, the pro forma impacts of acquisitions and the pro forma impacts of cost-saving initiatives. These additional adjustments during the last 12 months, as calculated pursuant to such agreements, resulted in a net benefit to Adjusted EBITDA for ratio calculation purposes of $9.6 million as of March 29, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility and term loans, the Company may not, subject to certain exceptions, permit its Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 as of the end of the test period if borrowings under the revolving credit facility exceed a certain threshold. Pursuant to the credit agreement, this ratio is defined as Consolidated First Lien Net Debt (as defined in the credit agreement) divided by Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). For a description of the other material terms related to our debt agreements, please refer to Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, and for a discussion of risks related to the compliance or non-compliance with the covenants described herein on the Company’s financial condition and liquidity, please refer to the factors described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness” in Part I of the annual report. During the periods covered by the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, we were in compliance with the financial covenant and had no borrowing on the revolving credit facility.

Gates Industrial Corporation plc is not an obligor under our revolving credit facility, our term loans or the indenture governing our outstanding notes. Gates Industrial Holdco Limited, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Gates Industrial Corporation plc, is the parent guarantor under our revolving credit facility, our term loans, and our outstanding notes. The only significant differences between the results of operations and net assets that would be shown in the consolidated financial statements of Gates Industrial Holdco Limited and those for the Company that are included elsewhere in this report are (i) an additional net intercompany loan payable due to Gates Industrial Holdco Limited and its subsidiaries from the Company, which was $216.0 million and $258.4 million as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, (ii) an additional intercompany receivable of $4.7 million as of March 29, 2025 and an intercompany payable of $6.6 million as of December 28, 2024, due to Gates Industrial Holdco Limited and its subsidiaries from the Company attributable to UK tax group relief, and (iii) additional cash and cash equivalents held by the Company, which was $1.7 million and $10.6 million as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period.

Please refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments” described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, as filed with the SEC, from which there have been no material changes.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our market risk includes the potential loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, and the credit risk of our customers and third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and short term deposits. From time to time, we use derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency swaps, forward foreign currency contracts, interest rate caps (options), and interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes and monitor closely the credit quality of the institutions with which we transact. Our objective in managing these risks is to reduce fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate movements. For a discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, please refer to our annual report from which our exposure to market risk has not materially changed.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 29, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated into this Part II, Item 1 from Note 18 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A: Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part I of the Company’s annual report, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity or future results. The risks described in the annual report are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that it currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the annual report.

U.S. policies, actions, or legislation could have a material adverse impact on our and our business partners’ operations and financial results.

Although we have global operations, our corporate headquarters and a significant portion of our facilities and workforce are located in the U.S. Approximately 37% of our Fiscal 2024 revenues were generated from customers in the U.S. Accordingly, our business and results of operations, as well as the business and results of operations of many of our vendors and customers, are subject to risks associated with U.S. government policies, actions, and legislation, including risks related to:

•the imposition of tariffs and other trade restrictions or embargoes and uncertainty related thereto, including inflationary pressures;

•economic and political instability related to U.S. relationships with its key trading partners;

•withdrawal of or changes in federal funding and support of organizations and programs that affect companies operating in the U.S. and their workforces, including those related to cyber security; and

•other changes to U.S. policies that may have a negative impact on us.

The likelihood and duration of such occurrences and their potential effect on us, our vendors and customers, are unpredictable and our efforts to minimize or eliminate the effects of these occurrences may not be successful. While we have taken measures to help mitigate the impact of recently enacted U.S. tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, such as price increases and adjustments to our supply chain and operations, recent tariff policies have been volatile, making it difficult for us and our vendors to predict or act to mitigate negative impacts of the tariffs. If we are unable to recoup cost increases through price increases on a timely basis or at all, or are unable to offset these cost increases through other means, our operating margins and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Moreover, we may be impacted by tariffs to a greater degree than our competitors who operate in countries that are not subject to tariffs or are subject to lesser tariffs, placing us at a disadvantage. The duration of the tariffs and the extent to which additional tariffs will be enacted remain uncertain. Uncertainty with respect to tariffs and other trade measures has led to, and may continue to lead to, volatility in the global financial markets, which could negatively impact demand for our products. Certain of these risks may be exacerbated if key trading partners coordinate retaliatory efforts against the U.S.

We are subject to economic, political and other risks associated with international operations that could adversely affect our business and our strategy to capitalize on our global reach.

A substantial portion of our operations are conducted and located outside the U.S. For Fiscal 2024, approximately 63% of our net sales originated from outside of the U.S. We have manufacturing, sales and service facilities spanning six continents and sell to customers in over 130 countries. Moreover, a significant amount of our manufacturing functions and sources of raw materials and components are from emerging markets such as China, India and Eastern Europe. Accordingly, our business and results of operations, as well as the business and results of operations of our vendors and customers, are subject to risks associated with doing business internationally, including:

Table of Contents

• changing economic conditions in the global and regional end markets we serve, which could impact the level of demand for our products, as a portion of our revenues are derived from customers in cyclical industries that typically are adversely affected by downward economic cycles;

• macroeconomic factors beyond the Company’s control, such as recent significant volatility around inflation, material and logistics availability, supply chain and labor challenges;

• political, social or economic instability, civil unrest, terrorist attacks, conflicts or war (such as the ongoing conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East), public health crises (including pandemics), natural disasters (including as a result of climate change), widespread cybersecurity incidents, and other catastrophic events may disrupt economic activities (including demand for and production and distribution of our products) and our workforce in affected countries or globally;

• trade wars and the imposition of additional sanctions, tariffs or other trade restrictions or embargoes, as well as import and export licensing and control requirements;

• volatility of global financial markets, including interest rate fluctuations and hyperinflation or deflation in the countries in which we operate;

• exchange rate fluctuations, as well as currency restructurings, the imposition of currency restrictions, and limitations on repatriation of earnings, that could affect our ability to realize a profit or our ability to readily access global cash balances;

• partial or total expropriation by local, state or national governments;

• compliance with or effect of complying with complex and changing laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments, including differing and, in some cases, more stringent labor, sustainability, environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) and HSE-related regulations as well as limitations on our ability to enforce our legal rights and remedies;

• differing local product preferences and product requirements; and

• difficulties involved in staffing and managing widespread operations, including challenges in enforcing corporate policies, which may be different than the normal business practices of local cultures.

The likelihood of such occurrences and their potential effect on us vary from country to country and are unpredictable. Certain regions, including Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, can be economically and politically volatile and as a result, our operations in these regions could be subject to significant or frequent fluctuations in sales and operating income. Because a significant percentage of our operating income in recent years has come from these regions, adverse fluctuations in the operating results in these regions could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in future periods. While we have adopted certain operational and financial measures to reduce the risks associated with doing business internationally, such measures may not be successful and any one of the risks listed above may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
