    Vertiv's strong first quarter results demonstrate our continued momentum and reinforce our position for long-term sustainable growth.

    First quarter 2025 operating profit of $291 million increased $88 million, or 43%, and adjusted operating profit of $337 million increased $88 million, or 35%, compared to first quarter 2024. Adjusted operating margin expanded 130 basis points to 16.5% in the first quarter 2025 compared to the first quarter 2024, driven by operational leverage on higher sales, price-cost tailwinds and productivity, partially offset by impacts from increased tariffs and regional mix.

    "Vertiv's strong first quarter results demonstrate our continued momentum and reinforce our position for long-term sustainable growth," said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv's Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see accelerated scaling of AI deployments across the data center market, with strong demand signals reinforcing both our near- and long-term growth outlook. The iGenius project, which involves delivering a complete AI infrastructure solution for one of Italy's leading AI technology companies, demonstrates our ability to rapidly deploy prefabricated AI solutions at scale. This project includes advanced cooling systems and power infrastructure specifically designed for high-density AI computing environments. Our partnership with NVIDIA and our reference designs for their GB200 and GB300 NVL72 platforms position Vertiv at the forefront of AI factory deployment at industrial scale. Assuming tariff rates on April 22, 2025 remain constant through year-end(2), we believe that our diverse manufacturing footprint, operational flexibility, and commercial strategies will progressively lessen the tariff impact as the year progresses. Although the tariff environment remains fluid, our goal is to significantly mitigate the effect of tariffs as we enter 2026."

    Dave Cote, Vertiv's Executive Chairman, added: "Vertiv's first quarter results demonstrate how well the team is executing in an increasingly complex environment. The focus on operational excellence and high-performance culture is delivering strong results. Our operational and commercial improvements over the past three years have positioned us well to effectively manage through the tariff environment and navigate these challenges. While we're seeing heightened demand in the market, particularly in AI infrastructure, what is most exciting is that we are still in the early stages of unlocking Vertiv's full potential. The team's relentless focus on execution, and ability to keep customers future-ready through this rapid market evolution, positions us well to create substantial long-term value for our shareholders as this market continues to expand and transform."

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1) and Liquidity

    Net cash generated by operating activities in first quarter 2025 was $303 million and adjusted free cash flow was $265 million, an increase of $166 million and $164 million respectively from first quarter 2024. First quarter 2025 adjusted free cash flow performance was driven by higher adjusted operating profit, trade working capital improvements and lower interest which were partially offset by an increase in cash taxes and capital expenditures. The 2025 forecast for capital expenditures is still expected to be approximately $275 million, or ~3.0% of sales, to support the strong growth trajectory.

    Liquidity remained strong at $2.3 billion and net leverage was approximately 0.8x at the end of first quarter 2025. Vertiv announced that Fitch Ratings, Inc. ("Fitch") has assigned a first-time rating of BBB- with a Stable outlook to Vertiv Holdings Co and Vertiv Group Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vertiv Holdings Co. We believe Vertiv's strong business profile, market leadership, resilient balance sheet and prudent financial policy supports Investment Grade credit ratings and Vertiv remains committed to a net leverage target of 1.0x – 2.0x.

    Updated Full Year and Second Quarter 2025 Guidance

    The data center market continues to show robust momentum as evidenced by our pipeline growth and strong AI-driven demand. The company continues to invest in ER&D and capacity expansion to support the growing needs of the industry, particularly in AI infrastructure deployments. The tariff situation remains fluid, but we are proactively working to mitigate the impact with supply chain countermeasures, production flexibility and commercial actions. Our guidance reflects the potential impacts of the tariff rates existing as of April 22, 2025, and assumes those rates continue throughout 2025(2). Our guidance reflects this assumption as well as our estimates of likely outcomes, based on current information and the planned countermeasures we expect to implement.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Financial information included in this release has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release, as indicated above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

    Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to second quarter and full-year 2025 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For those reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

    See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for Vertiv's reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. Vertiv cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time.

    Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

    Vertiv's non-GAAP financial measures include:

    • Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles;
    • Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;
    • Organic net sales growth, which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate;
    • Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures and investments in capitalized software; and
    • Adjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles and change in warranty liability.

    Diluted EPS is calculated using 379.1 million shares. Adjusted diluted EPS uses 389.3 million adjusted diluted shares, which includes 379.1 million basic shares and 10.2 million additional shares from potentially dilutive equity awards that would be dilutive if the Company had net income in the first three months of 2024. We believe that this adjusted version better reflects our actual performance because it removes the impact of warrant liability accounting and the impact on adjusted diluted EPS.

    Our guidance reflects the currently expected impacts of the tariff rates active as of April 22, 2025, assuming such rates remain constant through year-end.  For purposes of this earnings release and accompanying information, tariff rates active on April 22, 2025, include (but are not limited to): existing Chapter 1-97 tariffs; Section 301 tariffs; IEEPA tariffs (20% China; 25% Mexico / Canada; 0% USMCA); Section 232 Steel and Aluminum tariffs (25%); and Reciprocal tariffs (125% China; 10% Rest of World; and exceptions for Section 232 and Mexico / Canada goods).

    (2)

    Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to FY 2025 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted operating margin and adjusted free cash flow, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

    (3)

    Diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS based on 392.0 million shares (includes 382.0 million basic shares and 10.0 million potential dilutive equity awards).

    (4)

    Nonrecurring tax adjustment of $39.5 million due to recently issued guidance which changes our assessment of our realizability of certain deferred tax assets.

    Diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS based on 392.0 million shares (includes 382.0 million basic shares and 10.0 million potential dilutive equity awards).
