Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States of America (“U.S.”) GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Hubbell Incorporated Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Supplier Finance Program Obligations
Payment Services Arrangements
The Company has ongoing agreements with financial institutions to facilitate the processing of vendor payables. Under these agreements, the Company pays the financial institution the stated amount of confirmed invoices from participating suppliers on their original maturity date. The terms of the vendor payables are not affected by vendors participating in these agreements. As a result, the amounts owed are presented as accounts payable in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which $100.4 million and $101.9 million was outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Either party may terminate the agreements with 30 days written notice. Cash flows under the program are reported in operating activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Commercial Card Program
In 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution that allows participating suppliers to receive payment for outstanding invoices through a commercial purchasing card sponsored by a financial institution. The Company is required to settle such outstanding invoices through a consolidated payment to the financial institution 15 days after the commercial card billing cycle. The Company receives the benefit of extended payment terms and a rebate from the financial institution. Either party may terminate the agreement with 60 days written notice. The amount outstanding to the financial institution is presented as short-term debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which, $1.7 million and $2.4 million was outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Cash flows under the program are reported in financing activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting-Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which adds a requirement for public entities to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment for all periods presented. This information is required to be disclosed at both interim and annual periods. In addition, this ASU requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in the consolidated financial statements. Public entities are also required to disclose how the CODM uses each reported measure of segment profit or loss to assess performance and allocate resources to the segments. The ASU was effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has incorporated the required interim disclosures in Note 4, Segment Information.
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 7
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which enhances the disaggregation of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires public entities on an annual basis to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold equal to or greater than 5%. Public entities are required to provide an explanation of certain rate reconciling items if not otherwise evident, such as the nature, causes and judgement used to categorize the item. The ASU also requires disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refund received) detailed by federal, state/local and foreign, and amounts paid to individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and for interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE),” which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements are required to be adopted prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 2 Business Acquisitions and Dispositions
2025 Acquisitions
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Alliance USAcqCo2, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (“Ventev”) for approximately $73 million, net of cash acquired, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Ventev is a leading manufacturer and provider of a complete ecosystem of solutions to power, protect, and connect wireless networks. The Ventev business has been added to the Electrical Solutions segment.
This business acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination and has resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill relates to a number of factors implied in the purchase price, including the future earnings and cash flow potential of the business as well as the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies that such business acquisition brings to the Company’s existing operations. The goodwill related to the Ventev acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
Preliminary Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired
The following table presents the preliminary determination of the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Company's acquisition of Ventev. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the applicable one year measurement period as required by FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” As the Company finalizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period. Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company's results of operations and financial position. The finalization of the purchase accounting assessment may result in a change in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and may have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for the Company's 2025 acquisition of Ventev (in millions):
| | | | | |
Tangible assets acquired | $ | 10.1 | |
Intangible assets | 34.4 | |
Goodwill | 39.6 | |
Deferred tax liabilities, net | (8.5) | |
Other liabilities assumed | (2.3) | |
Total Estimate of Consideration Transferred, Net of Cash Acquired | $ | 73.3 | |
Dispositions
In December 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its residential lighting business for a cash purchase price of $131 million, subject to customary adjustments. The Company concluded the business met the criteria for classification as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2023. The residential lighting business was reported within the Electrical Solutions Segment. The transaction closed in the first quarter of 2024 and the Company recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of $5.3 million, which is recorded within Total other expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
Under the terms of the transaction, Hubbell and the buyer entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide certain administrative and operational services for a period of 12 months or less. Income from the TSA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and was recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 9
NOTE 3 Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which generally occurs, for products, upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The majority of the Company’s revenue associated with products is recognized at a point in time when the product is shipped to the customer, with a relatively small amount of transactions, primarily in the Utility Solutions segment, recognized upon delivery of the product at the destination.
The Company also has performance obligations, primarily within the Utility Solutions segment, that are recognized over time due to the customized nature of the product and the Company's enforceable right to receive payment for work performed to date in the event of a cancellation. The Company uses an input measure to determine the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation, which the Company believes best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Under this method, revenue recognition is primarily based upon the ratio of costs incurred to date compared with estimated total costs to complete.
Revenue from service contracts and post-shipment performance obligations are approximately one percent of total annual consolidated net revenue and those service contracts and post-shipment obligations are primarily within the Utility Solutions segment. Revenue from service contracts and post-shipment performance obligations is recognized when or as those obligations are satisfied. The Company primarily offers assurance-type standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations and on occasion will separately offer and price extended warranties that are separate performance obligations for which the associated revenue is recognized over-time based on the extended warranty period. The Company records amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling costs within revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of goods sold. Sales taxes and other usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue.
Certain of our businesses require a portion of the transaction price to be paid in advance of transfer of control. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as they are received less than one year before the related performance obligations are satisfied. In addition, in the Utility Solutions segment, certain businesses offer annual maintenance service contracts that require payment at the beginning of the contract period. These payments are treated as a contract liability and are classified in Other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Once control transfers to the customer and the Company meets the revenue recognition criteria, the deferred revenue is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The deferred revenue relating to the annual maintenance service contracts is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the contract.
The following table presents disaggregated revenue by business group. In July 2024, we internally reorganized certain businesses within our Electrical Solutions segment. The re-organization streamlines the organization and aligns the organization to better serve our customers. This change had no impact to our reportable segments. In conjunction with this change, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current organizational structure. In addition, the residential lighting business, included in the Retail and Builder section below, was sold in the first quarter of 2024.

TOTAL | $ | 1,365.2 | | $ | 1,399.1 | | | |
Contract Balances
Our contract liabilities consist of advance customer payments for products as well as deferred revenue on service obligations and extended warranties. Deferred revenue is included in Other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract liabilities were $183.0 million as of March 31, 2025 compared to $148.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The $35.0 million increase in our contract liabilities balance was primarily due to a $68.2 million net increase in current year deferrals primarily due to timing of advance payments on certain orders, partially offset by the recognition of $33.2 million in revenue related to amounts that were recorded in contract liabilities at January 1, 2025. The ending balance of contract assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $46.6 million and $38.0 million, respectively, with the increase being driven by revenue recognized in excess of billings. Impairment losses recognized on our receivables and contract assets were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $50 million of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of greater than one year, primarily relating to long-term contracts within the Utility Solutions segment to deliver and install meters, metering communications and grid monitoring sensor technology. The Company expects that a majority of the unsatisfied performance obligations will be completed and recognized over the next two years.
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 11
NOTE 4 Segment Information
The Company's results are reported in the following two business segments, Utility Solutions and Electrical Solutions. These segments reflect how the Company's businesses are managed, the type of products sold and the end markets served.
For further information regarding the Company's segment operations, see Note 21 Industry Segments and Geographic Area Information within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
The chief operating decision maker is the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer (CODM). The Company's method for measuring profitability on a reportable segment basis and used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources is operating income. This measure is used to monitor performance compared to prior period, forecasted results, and the annual plan.
The following tables set forth financial information by reporting segment (in millions). When reading the data, the following items should be noted:
•Segment Net sales comprise sales to unaffiliated customers - inter-segment and inter-area sales are not significant and are eliminated in consolidation.
•Segment operating income consists of Net sales less operating expenses, including total corporate expenses, which are generally allocated to each segment on the basis of the segment's percentage of consolidated Net sales. Interest expense and investment income and other expense, net have not been allocated to segments as these items are centrally managed by the Company.
•General corporate assets not allocated to segments are principally cash, prepaid pensions, investments and deferred taxes. These assets have not been allocated as they are centrally managed by the Company.

Amortization expense associated with definite-lived intangible assets was $24.5 million and $28.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Future amortization expense associated with these intangible assets is estimated to be $73.9 million for the remainder of 2025, $92.6 million in 2026, $88.2 million in 2027, $84.9 million in 2028, $80.6 million in 2029, and $74.4 million in 2030. The Company amortizes intangible assets with definite lives using either an accelerated method that reflects the pattern in which economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed and results in higher amortization in the earlier years of the assets' useful lives, or using a straight line method. Approximately 85% of the gross value of definite-lived intangible assets follow an accelerated amortization method.

NOTE 11 Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Service-based and performance-based restricted stock awards granted by the Company are considered participating securities as these awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends.

HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 20
NOTE 13 Guarantees
The Company records a liability equal to the fair value of guarantees in accordance with the accounting guidance for guarantees. When it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues for costs associated with guarantees. The most likely costs to be incurred are accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts and, where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value and maximum potential payment related to the Company’s guarantees were not material.
The Company offers product warranties that cover defects on most of its products. These warranties primarily apply to products that are properly installed, maintained and used for their intended purpose. The Company accrues estimated warranty costs at the time of sale. Estimated warranty expenses, recorded in cost of goods sold, are based upon historical information such as past experience, product failure rates, or the estimated number of units to be repaired or replaced. Adjustments are made to the product warranty accrual as claims are incurred, additional information becomes known, or as historical experience indicates.
Changes in the accrual for product warranties during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are set forth below (in millions):

NOTE 14 Fair Value Measurement
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit loss risk consist of trade receivables, cash equivalents and investments. The Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers. Due to the diversity of its product lines, the Company has an extensive customer base, including electrical distributors and wholesalers, electric utilities, equipment manufacturers, electrical contractors, telecommunication companies and retail and hardware outlets. As part of its ongoing procedures, the Company monitors the credit worthiness of its customers. Bad debt write-offs have historically been minimal. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and limits the amount of exposure in any one institution.
At March 31, 2025, our accounts receivable balance was $902.0 million, net of allowances of $12.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our allowances increased by approximately $0.8 million.
Investments
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $70.9 million and $69.6 million, respectively, of available-for-sale municipal debt securities. These investments had an amortized cost of $71.2 million and $70.1 million, respectively. No allowance for credit losses related to our available-for-sale debt securities was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unrealized losses attributable to our available-for-sale debt securities were $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The fair value of available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses was $33.6 million at March 31, 2025 and $40.5 million at December 31, 2024.
The Company also had trading securities of $26.4 million at March 31, 2025 and $28.1 million at December 31, 2024 that are carried on the balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses associated with available-for-sale debt securities are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, while unrealized gains and losses associated with trading securities are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The FASB fair value measurement guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three broad levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring a company to develop its own assumptions.
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 22
The following table shows, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(c) Forward exchange contracts-Assets are reflected in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the Level 2 fair values were as follows:
Forward exchange contracts – The fair value of forward exchange contracts was based on quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date.
Available-for-sale municipal bonds classified in Level 2 – The fair value of available-for-sale investments in municipal bonds is based on observable market-based inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Deferred compensation plans
The Company offers certain employees the opportunity to participate in non-qualified deferred compensation plans. A participant’s deferrals are invested in a variety of participant-directed debt and equity mutual funds that are classified as trading securities. The Company purchased $1.3 million and $2.8 million of trading securities related to these deferred compensation plans during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As a result of participant distributions, the Company sold $3.0 million of these trading securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The unrealized gains and losses associated with these trading securities are directly offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying deferred compensation plan obligation.
Long Term Debt
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of long-term debt, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, including the $399.4 million and $0.0 million, respectively, current portion of the Senior notes due in 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), was $1,443.4 million and $1,442.7 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $1,383.1 million and $1,367.3 million, respectively, using quoted market prices in active markets for similar liabilities (Level 2).

NOTE 15 Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. These proceedings include claims for damages arising out of use of the Company’s products, intellectual property, workers’ compensation and environmental matters. The Company is self-insured up to specified limits for certain types of claims, including product liability and workers’ compensation, and is fully self-insured for certain other types of claims, including environmental and intellectual property matters. The Company recognizes a liability for any contingency that in management’s judgment is probable of occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. We continually reassess the likelihood of adverse judgments and outcomes in these matters, as well as estimated ranges of possible losses based upon an analysis of each matter which includes advice of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.

NOTE 16 Restructuring Costs and Other
In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred costs for restructuring actions initiated in 2025 as well as costs for restructuring actions initiated in prior years. Our restructuring actions are associated with cost reduction efforts that include the consolidation of manufacturing and distribution facilities as well as workforce reductions. Restructuring costs include severance and employee benefits, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation, as well as facility closure, contract termination and certain pension costs that are directly related to restructuring actions. These costs are predominantly settled in cash from our operating activities and are generally settled within one year, with the exception of asset impairments, which are non-cash.

2025 Credit Facility
On March 25, 2025, the Company, as borrower, and each foreign subsidiary borrower from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers”) entered into a five-year credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, that provides for a $1.0 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The obligations of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers (if any) under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company.
Commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be conditionally increased to an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.5 billion. The Revolving Credit Agreement includes a $50.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. The sum of the dollar amount of loans and letters of credits to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Agreement may not exceed $100.0 million.
The interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement is either (i) the alternate base rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) or (ii) the term SOFR rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin based on the Company's credit ratings.
All revolving loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be due and payable on March 25, 2030. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for up to two one-year maturity extensions. As of March 31, 2025, the credit facility was undrawn.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains a sole financial covenant requiring that, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization shall not be greater than 65%. The Company was in compliance with this covenant as of March 31, 2025.
2021 Credit Facility
The Company had a five-year credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders and JPMorgan Chase, N.A., as administrative agent, that provided a $750 million committed revolving credit facility, which was terminated in connection with entry into the Revolving Credit Agreement.
Short-Term Debt and Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
The Company had $816.1 million and $125.4 million of short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, composed of the following:
•$399.4 million of the Senior notes due in 2026 are listed as current as of March 31, 2025, as the 2026 Notes are due in March 2026.
•$415.0 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2025, and $123.0 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2024. The increase in commercial paper during the first three months of 2025 was utilized to repurchase $125.0 million of treasury stock and to fund the $73 million acquisition of Ventev.
•$1.7 million and $2.4 million of other short-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which consisted of borrowings to support our international operations in China and amounts outstanding under our commercial card program.

Note 18 Stock-Based Compensation
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had various stock-based awards outstanding which were issued to executives and other key employees. The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of all stock-based awards to employees over their respective requisite service periods (generally equal to an award’s vesting period), net of estimated forfeitures. A stock-based award is considered vested for expense attribution purposes when the employee’s retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing subsequent service. For those awards that vest immediately upon retirement eligibility, the Company recognizes compensation cost immediately for retirement-eligible individuals or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if less than the stated vesting period.
The Company’s long-term incentive program for awarding stock-based compensation includes a combination of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), and performance shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Hubbell Incorporated 2005 Incentive Award Plan as amended and restated (the “Award Plan”). Under the Award Plan, the Company may authorize up to 9.7 million shares of common stock to settle awards of restricted stock, performance shares, or SARs. The Company issues new shares to settle stock-based awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company's grant of stock-based awards included restricted stock, SARs and performance shares.
Each of the compensation arrangements is discussed below.
Restricted Stock
The Company issues various types of restricted stock, of which the restricted stock awards are considered outstanding at the time of grant, as the award holders are entitled to dividends and voting rights. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities when computing earnings per share. Restricted stock unit award holders are not entitled to dividends or voting rights until settlement. Restricted stock grants are not transferable and are subject to forfeiture in the event of the recipient's termination of employment prior to vesting.
Restricted Stock Awards Issued to Employees - Service Condition
Restricted stock awards that vest based upon a service condition are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. These awards generally vest either in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date or on the third-year anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of these awards is measured by the average of the high and low trading prices of the Company’s common stock on the most recent trading day immediately preceding the grant date (“measurement date”).
In February 2025, the Company granted 35,015 restricted stock awards with a fair value per share of $393.16.
Restricted Stock Units Issued to Employees - Service Condition
Restricted stock units that vest based upon a service condition are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. These awards generally vest in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The fair value of these awards is measured by the average of the high and low trading prices of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the requisite service period.
In February 2025, the Company granted 1,617 restricted stock units with a fair value per share of $380.99.
Stock Appreciation Rights
SARs grant the holder the right to receive, once vested, the value in shares of the Company's common stock equal to the positive difference between the grant price, as determined using the mean of the high and low trading prices of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date, and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise. This amount is payable in shares of the Company’s common stock. SARs vest and become exercisable in three equal installments during the first three years following the grant date and expire ten years from the grant date.
In February 2025, the Company granted 66,369 SAR awards. The fair value of each SAR award was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the SARs granted during February 2025:
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Grant Date | Expected Dividend Yield | Expected Volatility | Risk Free Interest Rate | Expected Term | Weighted Avg. Grant Date Fair Value of 1 SAR |
February 2025 | 1.2% | 24.2% | 4.4% | 4.8 years | $100.15 |
The expected dividend yield was calculated by dividing the Company’s expected annual dividend by the average stock price for the past three months. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock for a period consistent with the expected term. The expected term of SARs granted was based upon historical exercise behavior of SARs. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the award.
Performance Shares
Performance shares represent the right to receive a share of the Company’s common stock subject to the achievement of certain market or performance conditions established by the Company’s Compensation Committee and measured over a three-year period. Partial vesting in these awards may occur after separation from the Company for retirement eligible employees. Shares are not vested until approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee.
Performance Shares - Market Condition
In February 2025, the Company granted 8,542 performance shares that will vest subject to a market condition and service condition through the performance period. The market condition associated with the awards is the Company's total shareholder return (“TSR”) compared to the TSR generated by the companies that comprise the S&P Capital Goods 900 index over a three year performance period. Performance at target will result in vesting and issuance of the number of performance shares granted, equal to 100% payout. Performance below or above target can result in issuance in the range of 0%-200% of the number of shares granted. Expense is recognized irrespective of the market condition being achieved.
The fair value of the performance share awards with a market condition for the 2025 grant was determined based upon a lattice model.
The following table summarizes the related assumptions used to determine the fair values of the performance share awards with a market condition granted during February 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Grant Date | Stock Price on Measurement Date | Dividend Yield | Expected Volatility | Risk Free Interest Rate | Expected Term | Weighted Avg. Grant Date Fair Value |
February 2025 | $393.16 | 1.3% | 31.0% | 4.3% | 2.9 years | $421.00 |
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s and members of the peer group's stock over the expected term of the award. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term of the award.
Performance Shares - Performance Condition
In February 2025, the Company granted 17,377 performance shares that will vest subject to an internal Company-based performance condition and service requirement.
Fifty percent of these performance shares granted will vest based on Hubbell’s compounded annual growth rate of Net sales as compared to that of the companies that comprise the S&P Capital Goods 900 index. Fifty percent of these performance shares granted will vest based on achieved adjusted operating profit margin performance as compared to internal targets. Each of these performance conditions is measured over the same three-year performance period. The cumulative result of these performance conditions can result in a number of shares earned in the range of 0%-200% of the target number of shares granted.
The fair value of the award is measured based upon the average of the high and low trading prices of the Company's common stock on the measurement date reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the requisite service period. The Company expenses these awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and based on an assessment of the performance achieved to date. The weighted average fair value per share was $380.99 for the awards granted during February 2025.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Grant Date | Fair Value | Performance Period | Payout Range |
February 2025 | $380.99 | Jan 2025 - Dec 2027 | 0%-200% |

ITEM 2 | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Executive Overview of the Business
Hubbell is a global manufacturer of quality electrical products and utility solutions for a broad range of customer and end market applications. We provide utility and electrical solutions that enable our customers to operate critical infrastructure reliably and efficiently, and we empower and energize communities through innovative solutions supporting energy infrastructure In Front of the Meter, on The Edge, and Behind the Meter. In Front of the Meter is where utilities transmit and distribute energy to their customers. The Edge connects utilities with owner and operators and allows energy and data to be distributed back and forth. Behind the Meter is where owners and operators of buildings and other critical infrastructure consume energy. Products are either sourced complete, manufactured or assembled by subsidiaries in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, China, the UK, Brazil, Australia, Spain, Ireland and the Republic of the Philippines. The Company also participates in joint ventures in Hong Kong and the Republic of the Philippines, and maintains offices in Singapore, Italy, China, India, Mexico, South Korea, Chile, and countries in the Middle East. The Company employed approximately 17,700 individuals worldwide as of March 31, 2025.
The Company’s reporting segments consist of the Utility Solutions segment and Electrical Solutions segment.
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by segment are included under “Segment Results” within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
The Company's long-term strategy is to serve its customers with reliable and innovative electrical and related infrastructure solutions with desired brands and high-quality service, delivered through a competitive cost structure; to complement organic revenue growth with acquisitions that enhance its product offerings; and to allocate capital effectively to create shareholder value.
Our strategy to complement organic revenue growth with acquisitions is focused on acquiring assets that extend our capabilities, expand our product offerings, and present opportunities to compete in core, adjacent or complementary markets. Our acquisition strategy also provides the opportunity to advance our revenue growth objectives during periods of weakness or inconsistency in our end-markets.
Our strategy to deliver products through a competitive cost structure has resulted in past and ongoing restructuring and related activities. Our restructuring and related efforts include the consolidation of manufacturing and distribution facilities, and workforce actions, as well as streamlining and consolidating our back-office functions. The primary objectives of our restructuring and related activities are to optimize our manufacturing footprint, cost structure, and the effectiveness and efficiency of our workforce.
Productivity improvement also continues to be a key area of focus for the Company and efforts to drive productivity complement our restructuring and related activities to minimize the impact of rising material costs and other administrative cost inflation. Because material costs are approximately half of our cost of goods sold, continued volatility in this area could significantly impact profitability. Our goal is to have pricing and productivity programs that offset material and other inflationary cost increases as well as pay for investments in key growth areas.
Productivity programs affect virtually all functional areas within the Company by reducing or eliminating waste and improving processes. We continue to expand our efforts related to global product and component sourcing, as well as supplier cost reduction programs. Value engineering efforts, product transfers and the use of lean process improvement techniques are expected to continue to increase manufacturing efficiency. In addition, we continue to build upon the benefits of our enterprise resource planning system across all functions.
Our sales are also subject to market conditions that may cause customer demand for our products to be volatile. Product demand can be affected by fluctuations in domestic and international economic conditions, as well as currency fluctuations, commodity costs, and a variety of other factors. Since early 2021, we have experienced significant inflationary pressure across much of our business. As a result, we have taken various pricing actions to cover the higher costs and to protect our profitability. Although inflation has moderated since its high point in 2022, we expect inflation to remain a factor for the foreseeable future and we expect to continue to take these pricing actions subject to demand and market conditions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our margins in response to further changes in inflationary pressures. In addition, macroeconomic effects such as increases in interest rates and other measures taken by central banks and other policy makers could have a negative effect on overall economic activity which could reduce our customers’ demand for our products, and cause the continuation of relatively high market interest rates that increase our borrowing costs.
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 29
Additionally, international tensions, such as the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, as well as trade and other tensions, including those with China, may affect demand for our products, as well as our production costs. In particular, recent tariff actions by the U.S. and other countries and the widespread uncertainty and international tensions resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, the effect on the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, may adversely affect demand for our products, disrupt our supply chains, increase manufacturing costs and adversely affect our revenues, cost of sales and production volumes, any of which could materially and adversely harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. See also Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, for further information.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Alliance USAcqCo2, Inc. (“Ventev”), a leading manufacturer and provider of a complete ecosystem of solutions to power, protect, and connect wireless networks. The Ventev business has been added to the Electrical Solutions segment.
Results of Operations – First Quarter of 2025 compared to the First Quarter of 2024
The following is a discussion and analysis of our business, financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Condensed Financial Statements”), and the audited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Overview
First quarter 2025 net sales were $1,365.2 million and decreased by 2.4%, driven by a 1.2% decline from divestitures net of acquisitions, and a 0.6% contraction of organic net sales driven by lower volume.
In December 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its residential lighting business for a cash purchase price of $131 million, subject to customary adjustments. The residential lighting business was reported within the Electrical Solutions Segment. The decline from divestitures reflects the sale of that business, which contributed $21.1 million to first quarter 2024 net sales prior to the closing of that transaction, and is partially offset by a modest contribution to net sales from the acquisition of Ventev in the first quarter of 2025.
Organic net sales in the Electrical Solutions segment grew by 4.8% in the first quarter of 2025 led by continued strength in the datacenter vertical. In the Utility Solutions segment, organic net sales contracted 3.7% on lower volume from Grid Automation products due to the timing of large metering and AMI projects which drove a strong first quarter of 2024, as well as in our enclosures products on continued weakness in telcom markets.
Operating margin in the first quarter of 2025 expanded by 120 basis points to 17.5% and includes the effect of lower amortization of acqusition-related intangibles and transaction, integration and separation costs in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating margin, which excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and transaction, integration and separation costs, was 19.3% and contracted by 40 basis points. That result includes margin expansion in the quarter primarily driven by benefits from operational productivity and favorable price realization, however, those factors were more than overcome by contraction driven by continued material and other cost inflation, including tariff expense and the impact of lower volumes. See the further discussion within Segment Results below.
The first quarter of 2024 also includes a $5.3 million loss on the sale of the residential lighting business, which is recorded within Total other expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 31
In the following discussion of results of operations, we refer to “adjusted” operating measures. We believe those adjusted measures, which exclude the impact of certain costs, gains and losses, may provide investors with useful information regarding our underlying performance from period to period and allow investors to understand our results of operations without regard to items that, in management's judgement, significantly affect the comparability of operating results, or are not considered to be components of our core operating performance.
Significant items impacting comparability comprise the following:
Transaction, integration and separation costs
The effect that acquisitions and divestitures may have on our results fluctuate significantly based on the timing, size and number of transactions, and therefore result in significant volatility in the costs to complete transactions and to integrate or separate the businesses.
Transaction costs are primarily professional services and other fees incurred to complete the transactions. Integration and separation costs are the internal and external incremental costs directly relating to these activities for the acquired or divested business.
The acquisition and divestiture actions taken by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2023 resulted in a significant increase in integration and separation costs. As a result, we believe excluding costs relating to these 2023 fourth quarter transactions provides useful and more comparable information for investors to better assess our operating performance.
Gains or losses on disposition of a business
Certain of the Company's adjusted measures exclude these gains or losses because we believe they enhance management's and investors' ability to analyze underlying business performance and facilitate comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods. In the first quarter of 2024 the Company recognized a $5.3 million pre-tax loss on the disposition of the residential lighting business and also recognized $6.8 million of income tax expense relating to that transaction, primarily driven by differences between book and tax basis in goodwill. That loss and the related income tax expense are excluded from our adjusted operating measures.
Amortization of intangible assets
Adjusted operating measures exclude amortization of all intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions, including inventory step-up amortization associated with those acquisitions. The intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions arise from the allocation of the purchase price using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations.” These assets consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and tradenames, and patents, as reported in Note 7 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, under the heading “Total Definite-Lived Intangibles,” within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company believes that the exclusion of these non-cash expenses (i) enhances management’s and investors’ ability to analyze underlying business performance, (ii) facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods, and (iii) provides more relevant comparisons of our results with the results of other companies as the amortization expense associated with these assets may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the timing, size, nature, and number of acquisitions. Although we exclude amortization of these acquired intangible assets and inventory step-up from our non-GAAP results, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that revenue generated, in part, from such intangibles is included within revenue in determining adjusted net income attributable to Hubbell Incorporated.
Adjusted results also excluded the income tax effects of the above adjustments which are calculated using the statutory tax rate, taking into consideration the nature of the item and the relevant taxing jurisdiction, unless otherwise noted.
Organic net sales (or organic net sales growth), a non-GAAP measure, represents Net sales according to U.S. GAAP, less Net sales from acquisitions and divestitures during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture, respectively, less the effect of fluctuations in Net sales from foreign currency exchange. The period-over-period effect of fluctuations in Net sales from foreign currency exchange is calculated as the difference between local currency Net sales of the prior period translated at the current period exchange rate as compared to the same local currency Net sales translated at the prior period exchange rate. We believe this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency as these activities can obscure underlying trends. When comparing Net sales growth between periods, excluding the effects of acquisitions, business dispositions and currency exchange rates, those effects are different when comparing results for different periods. For example, because Net sales from acquisitions are considered inorganic from the date we complete an acquisition through the end of the first year following the acquisition, Net sales from such acquisitions are reflected as organic net sales thereafter.
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 32
There are limitations to the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures do not present complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported GAAP financial results, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. We believe, however, that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed together with our GAAP results and related reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Net Sales
Net sales of $1,365.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 decreased by $33.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2024. Organic net sales decreased by 0.6% driven by a low single digit percentage decrease in volumes, partially offset by a low single digit increase in price realization. Divestitures net of acquisitions reflect a 1.2% reduction to net sales, while foreign exchange resulted in a 0.6% decrease in net sales. These changes are discussed in more detail in the Segment Results section below.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
As a percentage of Net sales, cost of goods sold decreased by 110 basis points to 66.9% in the first quarter of 2025, resulting in gross profit margin expanding to 33.1%. Approximately four percentage points of gross profit margin expansion was driven by lower acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, improved operational productivity and favorable price realization, partially offset by three percentage points of gross profit margin contraction due to material and other cost inflation, including tariff expense and lower volume.
Selling & Administrative Expenses
S&A expense in the first quarter of 2025 was $212.2 million and decreased by $7.0 million or 3.2% compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by lower transaction, integration and separation costs in the current year compared to the prior year. S&A expense as a percentage of Net sales was 15.6% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 15.7% in the first quarter of 2024.
Total Other Expense
Total other expense decreased by $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 to $19.1 million, primarily due to lower net interest expense of $7.3 million, due to lower outstanding debt balances, along with the $5.3 million loss recognized on the disposition of the residential lighting business during the first quarter of 2024. These decreases were partially offset by an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and higher non-service pension cost in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2025 decreased to 22.2% as compared to 26.0% in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to income tax expense incurred in the first quarter of 2024 relating to the divestiture of our residential lighting business.
Net Income Attributable to Hubbell Incorporated and Earnings Per Diluted Share
Net income attributable to Hubbell Incorporated was $169.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 and increased 14.8% as compared to the same period of the prior year, reflecting the factors described above. As a result, earnings per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025 increased 15% as compared to the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income attributable to Hubbell Incorporated, which excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and transaction, integration & separation costs for both periods and the loss on disposition of a business for the first quarter of 2024, was $188.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 and decreased by 3.4% as compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Net sales in the Utility Solutions segment in the first quarter of 2025 were $857.1 million, and decreased by $36.9 million, or 4.2%, as compared to the first quarter of 2024. That decrease was driven by a 3.7% decrease in organic net sales, and a 0.5% decrease due to foreign exchange. The decrease in organic net sales was driven by a mid single digit percentage decrease in unit volume, partially offset by a low single digit increase in price realization. The decrease in unit volume resulted largely from volume declines in Grid Automation products on the timing of large metering and AMI projects which drove a stronger first quarter of 2024, as well as in enclosures products led by lower volume in telcom markets.
Operating income in the Utility Solutions segment for the first quarter of 2025 was $160.0 million, an increase of 1.6% compared to the first quarter of 2024. Operating margin increased by 110 basis points to 18.7% in the first quarter of 2025, and includes the effect of lower amortization of acqusition-related intangible assets and transaction, integration & separation costs. Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and transaction, integration & separation costs, the adjusted operating margin decreased by 80 basis points to 21.0%. That decrease includes approximately four percentage points of margin contraction due to material and other cost inflation, including tariff expense and the impact of lower unit volume, which was partially offset by three percentage points of margin expansion from improved operational productivity and favorable price realization.

Net sales in the Electrical Solutions segment in the first quarter of 2025 were $508.1 million and increased by $3.0 million, or 0.6%, as compared to the first quarter of 2024. That increase includes 4.8% growth in organic net sales, which was partially offset by a 3.3% decline in net sales resulting from divestitures net of acquisitions and a 0.9% decline due to foreign exchange. The increase in organic net sales was driven by a low single digit percentage increase in unit volume and a low single digit percentage increase in price realization. Volume growth in the first quarter of 2025 was driven primarily by strength in the datacenter market, while broader industrial markets were steady and commercial markets were softer.
Operating income in the Electrical Solutions segment for the first quarter of 2025 was $79.0 million and increased by 11.3% compared to the first quarter of 2024, while operating margin in the first quarter of 2025 expanded by 140 basis points to 15.5%. Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and transaction, integration and separation costs, the adjusted operating margin expanded by 70 basis points to 16.5%. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to approximately four percentage points of margin expansion from improved operational productivity, favorable price realization, lower transaction, integration & separation costs and higher volume. Those factors were partially offset by approximately three percentage points of margin contraction driven by higher material and other cost inflation, including tariff expense and mix.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

(In millions) | 2025 | 2024 | | | | |
Net cash provided by (used in): | | | | | | |
Operating activities | $ | 37.4 | | $ | 92.2 | | | | | |
Investing activities | (99.3) | | 88.6 | | | | | |
Financing activities | 75.0 | | (125.3) | | | | | |

NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | $ | 17.2 | | $ | 52.0 | | | | | |
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $37.4 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $92.2 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in cash provided by operations is due to an increase in working capital, primarily within accounts receivable driven by the timing of sales, a $20.0 million contribution to our pension plan, and lower depreciation and amortization expense in 2025. Those factors are partially offset by higher net income and a lower use of cash for incentive payments in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same prior year period.
Cash used by investing activities was $99.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to cash provided of $88.6 million during the comparable period in 2024. This change was driven by $73.3 million of cash used in the first quarter of 2025 to acquire Ventev, and $122.9 million of cash proceeds in the first quarter of 2024 from the disposition of our residential lighting business.
Cash provided by financing activities was $75.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to cash used of $125.3 million in the comparable period of 2024. The increase in cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects higher net borrowings partially offset by a $115.0 million increase in share repurchases in the first three months of 2025 compared to the same prior year period.
The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates on cash was $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the change compared to prior year is primarily related to the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Brazilian Real and British Pound.
Investments in the Business
Investments in our business include cash outlays for the acquisition of businesses, and investments in capacity and innovation, as well as for expenditures on productivity initiatives and to maintain the operation of our equipment and facilities and invest in restructuring activities.
In the first quarter of 2025, we acquired Ventev for $73.3 million, expanding our portfolio of wireless network solutions within the Electrical Solutions segment, and also invested $26.0 million in capital expenditures on automation and productivity initiatives.
We also continue to invest in restructuring and related programs to maintain a competitive cost structure, to drive operational efficiencies and to mitigate the impact of rising material costs and administrative cost inflation. We expect our investments in restructuring and related activities to continue through 2025 as we continue to invest in previously initiated actions and initiate further footprint consolidation, and other cost reduction initiatives.
In connection with our restructuring and related actions, we have incurred restructuring costs as defined by U.S. GAAP, which are primarily severance and employee benefits, asset impairments, and accelerated depreciation, as well as facility closure, contract termination and certain pension costs that are directly related to restructuring actions. We also incurred restructuring-related costs, which are costs associated with our business transformation initiatives, including the consolidation of back-office functions and streamlining of our processes, and certain other costs and gains associated with restructuring actions. We refer to these costs on a combined basis as “restructuring and related costs”, which is a non-GAAP measure. We believe this non-GAAP measure provides investors with useful information regarding our underlying performance from period to period. Restructuring costs are predominantly settled in cash from our operating activities and are generally settled within one year, with the exception of asset impairments, which are non-cash.
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 37

Stock Repurchase Program
On October 21, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2022 Program”) that authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of common stock, which expires in October 2025. At March 31, 2025, our remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2022 Program was $135.0 million. On February 12, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (the “2025 Program”) that authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of common stock and expires in February 2028. When combined with the $135.0 million of remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2022 Program, we have a total outstanding share repurchase authorization of approximately $635.0 million. Subject to numerous factors, including market conditions and alternative uses of cash, we may conduct discretionary repurchases through open market or privately negotiated transactions, which may include repurchases under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Debt to Capital
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $1,044.0 million and $1,442.7 million, respectively, of long-term debt outstanding, net of the unamortized balance of capitalized debt issuance costs. At March 31, 2025, the Company also had $399.4 million of long-term debt maturing within the next 12 months relating to the 2026 Notes described below, which is classified within short term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
2025 Credit Facility
On March 25, 2025, the Company, as borrower, and each foreign subsidiary borrower from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers”) entered into a five-year credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, that provides for a $1.0 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The obligations of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers (if any) under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company.
Commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be conditionally increased to an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.5 billion. The Revolving Credit Agreement includes a $50.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. The sum of the dollar amount of loans and letters of credits to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Agreement may not exceed $100.0 million.
The interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement is either (i) the alternate base rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) or (ii) the term SOFR rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin based on the Company's credit ratings.
All revolving loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be due and payable on March 25, 2030. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for up to two one-year maturity extensions. As of March 31, 2025, the credit facility was undrawn.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains a sole financial covenant requiring that, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization shall not be greater than 65%. The Company was in compliance with this covenant as of March 31, 2025.
2021 Credit Facility
The Company had a five-year credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders and JPMorgan Chase, N.A., as administrative agent, that provided a $750 million committed revolving credit facility, which was terminated in connection with entry into the Revolving Credit Agreement.
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 38
Unsecured Senior Notes
At both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding unsecured, senior notes (the “Notes”) in principal amounts of $400 million due in 2026, $300 million due in 2027, $450 million due in 2028 and $300 million due in 2031.
The carrying value of the Notes, net of unamortized discount and the unamortized balance of capitalized debt issuance costs, including $399.4 million relating to the 2026 Notes classified as current, was $1,443.4 million and $1,442.7 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The Notes are callable at any time at specified prices and are only subject to accelerated payment prior to maturity upon customary events of default, or upon a change in control triggering event as defined in the indenture governing the Notes, as supplemented. The Company was in compliance with all covenants (none of which are financial) as of March 31, 2025.
Short-term Debt and Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
The Company had $816.1 million and $125.4 million of short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, composed of the following:
•$399.4 million relating to the 2026 Notes due in March 2026 are classified as current at March 31, 2025.
•$415.0 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2025, and $123.0 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2024. The increase in commercial paper during the first three months of 2025 was utilized to repurchase $125.0 million of treasury stock and to fund the $73.3 million acquisition of Ventev.
•$1.7 million and $2.4 million of other short term debt outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which consisted of borrowings to support our international operations in China and amounts outstanding under our commercial card program.
Net debt, defined as total debt less cash and investments, is a non-GAAP measure that may not be comparable to definitions used by other companies. We consider net debt to be a useful measure of our financial leverage for evaluating the Company’s ability to meet its funding needs.

Liquidity
We measure liquidity on the basis of our ability to meet short-term and long-term operational funding needs, to fund additional investments in our business, including acquisitions, and to make dividend payments to shareholders. Significant factors affecting the management of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, capital expenditures, cash dividend payments, stock repurchases, access to bank lines of credit and our ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms. In the first three months of 2025, we returned capital to our shareholders by paying $70.7 million of dividends on our common stock and using $125.0 million of cash for share repurchases.
We also require cash outlays to fund our operations, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements to accommodate anticipated levels of business activity, as well as our rate of cash dividends, and potential future acquisitions. We have contractual obligations for long-term debt, operating leases, purchase obligations, and certain other long-term liabilities that are summarized in the Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”), we also have an obligation to fund, by annual installments through 2025, the Company's liability for the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings.
HUBBELL INCORPORATED-Form 10-Q 39
Our sources of funds and available resources to meet these funding needs are as follows:
◦Cash flows from operating activities and existing cash resources: In addition to cash flows from operating activities, we also had $346.9 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2025, of which approximately 16% was held inside the United States and the remainder held internationally.
◦Our Revolving Credit Agreement provides a $1.0 billion committed revolving credit facility and commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be increased (subject to certain conditions) to an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.5 billion. Annual commitment fees to support availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement are not material. Although not the principal source of liquidity, we believe our Revolving Credit Agreement is capable of providing significant financing flexibility at reasonable rates of interest and is an attractive alternative source of funding in the event that commercial paper markets experience disruption. However, an increase in usage of the Revolving Credit Agreement related to growth or a significant deterioration in the results of our operations or cash flows could cause our borrowing costs to increase and/or our ability to borrow could be restricted. We have not entered into any guarantees that could give rise to material unexpected cash requirements. The full $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement was available to the Company at March 31, 2025.
◦In addition to our commercial paper program and existing revolving credit facility, we also have the ability to obtain additional financing through the issuance of long-term debt. Considering our current credit rating, historical earnings performance, and financial position, we believe that we would be able to obtain additional long-term debt financing on attractive terms.
Critical Accounting Estimates
A summary of our critical accounting estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We are required to make estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. We continually review these estimates and their underlying assumptions to ensure they are appropriate for the circumstances. Changes in the estimates and assumptions we use could have a material impact on our financial results. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes in our estimates and critical accounting policies.

ITEM 3 | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
In the operation of its business, the Company has exposures to fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, availability of purchased finished goods and raw materials, changes in material prices, foreign sourcing issues, and changes in interest rates. There have been no significant changes in our exposure to these market risks during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For a complete discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 4 | Controls and Procedures |
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recently completed quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as described below.
Changes in U.S. and international trade policies may adversely impact our business and operating results; changes in U.S. trade policies could have a material adverse effect on us.
We cannot predict what changes to trade policy will be made, or the economic impact that changes to trade policy will have, including significant increases in tariffs on goods imported into the United States, particularly tariffs on products manufactured in Canada, Mexico, China, and in Europe and the length of time such tariffs may remain in place, or whether the entry into new bilateral or multilateral trade agreements will occur. The imposition of new tariffs, changes in trade policy or agreements, or the escalation of trade tensions between the United States and other countries or regions could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In prior years, the U.S. government has announced and, in some cases, implemented new approaches to trade policy, including renegotiating, or potentially terminating, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”), which was replaced by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on July 1, 2020, and is currently up for review in 2026, as well as implementing the imposition of additional tariffs on certain foreign goods, including finished products and raw materials such as steel and aluminum. Additionally, in February through April, 2025, the U.S. announced a series of significant new tariffs to be imposed on goods from a broad set of countries, including Canada, China, Mexico and European Union member states. The U.S. also announced new tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum, which took effect in March 2025. These and other changes in U.S. trade policy, and U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories and countries where we currently manufacture and sell products, and any resulting negative sentiments towards the United States as a result of such changes, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
We utilize materials (such as steel and aluminum), components and finished goods that are sourced from or manufactured in foreign countries, including Canada, China, Mexico and countries in Europe. Import tariffs and potential additional import tariffs have resulted or may result in increased prices for these imported goods and materials and, in some cases, may result or have resulted in price increases for domestically sourced goods and materials. Changes in U.S. trade policy have resulted in trade policy responses from other countries (and may result in additional ones in the future), including the adoption of trade policies that could make it more difficult or costly for us to export our products or import goods and materials from those countries. These measures could also result in increased costs for goods imported into the U.S. or may lead to disruptions in the supply of goods and materials that could cause us to adjust our worldwide supply chain. This could require us to increase prices to our customers which may reduce demand, or, if we are unable to increase prices, result in lowering our margin on products sold.
Recently, various countries, and regions, including, without limitation, Canada, China, Mexico, and Europe, have announced plans or intentions to impose or have imposed tariffs on a wide range of U.S. products in retaliation for the new U.S. tariffs. These actions could, in turn, result in additional tariffs being adopted by the U.S. These conditions and future actions could have a significant adverse effect on world trade and the world economy. To the extent that trade tariffs and other restrictions imposed by the United States increase the price of, or limit the amount of, raw materials and finished goods imported into the United States, the costs of our raw materials may be adversely affected and the demand from our customers for products and services may be diminished, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. Accordingly, the recent trade actions by the U.S. and the widespread uncertainty and international tensions resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, the effect on the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, may adversely affect demand for our products, disrupt our supply chains, increase manufacturing costs and adversely affect our revenues, costs of sales and production volumes, any of which could materially and adversely harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We cannot predict future trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impact on our business. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to new tariffs or trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On October 21, 2022, we announced that the Board of Directors had approved a share repurchase program (the “2022 Program”) that authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of common stock, which expires in October 2025. At March 31, 2025, our remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2022 Program was $135.0 million. On February 12, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (the “2025 Program”) that authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of common stock and expires in February 2028. When combined with the $135.0 million of remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2022 Program, we have a total share repurchase authorization of approximately $635.0 million. Subject to numerous factors, including market conditions and alternative uses of cash, we may conduct discretionary repurchases through open market or privately negotiated transactions, which may include repurchases under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
