Crane Co 10-K

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Crane Company have been prepared by management in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, in the judgment of management, present fairly and consistently the Company’s financial position and results of operations and cash flows. These statements by necessity include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments and give due consideration to materiality. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making its assessment, management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in its Internal Control—Integrated Framework, released in 2013. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that also audited the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, audited the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, and issued their related attestation report which is included herein. /s/ Max H. Mitchell Max H. Mitchell Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) /s/ Richard A. Maue Richard A. Maue Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) The Section 302 certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer have been filed as Exhibit 31 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. 37 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Crane Company Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crane Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 27, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Revenue – Over-Time Basis — Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements Audit Matter Description The Company recognizes revenue as they fulfill their performance obligations and transfer control of products to their customers. The Company has certain revenue contracts with the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts. The clauses of those contracts stipulate that any amounts included in work-in-progress are the property of the U.S. government as they own any work-in progress as the contracted product is being built. The Company uses the cost-to-cost method of determining their progress, measuring progress by comparing costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to provide the performance obligation. In 2024, the Company recognized approximately $108 million in revenue over time related to contracts in progress as of December 31, 2024. We identified revenue recognized over time as a critical audit matter because of the judgments necessary for management to determine the margin to be used to estimate revenue for the overtime revenue. This required a high degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures to audit management’s estimates of margin at completion used to recognize revenue over time and evaluating the results of those procedures. 38 How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures performed related to the recognition of revenue recognized over-time included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls related to the revenue recognized over-time, including management’s controls over costs incurred to date and estimates of margin at completion, as well as the accurate classification of contracts in the system during the order entry process. • We selected a sample of contracts with customers that were recognized over time, and we performed the following: • Evaluated whether the contracts were properly included in management’s calculation of long-term contract revenue based on the terms and conditions of each contract, including whether continuous transfer of control to the customer occurred as progress was made toward fulfilling the performance obligation. • Evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of the methods of calculation and assumptions used by management to develop the margin at completion applied to determine the revenue recognized. • We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculation of revenue recognized. • We developed an independent estimate of the future costs and margin at completion, for certain of the over-time service contracts, based on similar contracts and compared our estimates to the estimates of management. • We evaluated management’s ability to estimate future costs and margins at completion accurately by comparing actual costs and margins at completion for similar contracts that were previously completed to management’s historical estimates for such contracts. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Stamford, Connecticut February 27, 2025 We have served as the Company's auditor since 1979. 39 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS For the year ended December 31, (in millions, except per share data) 2024 2023 2022 Net sales $ 2,131.2 $ 1,862.1 $ 1,776.7 Operating costs

Today, Crane is a leading manufacturer of highly engineered components for challenging, mission-critical applications focused on the aerospace, defense, space and process industry end markets. The Company has two reporting segments: Aerospace & Electronics and Process Flow Technologies. See Note 4, “Segment Information” for the relative size of these segments in relation to the total company (both net sales and total assets). Divestiture Engineered Materials On November 26, 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell the Engineered Materials segment to KPS Capital Partners, L.P (“KPS”). We determined that the Engineered Materials segment met the criteria of being reported as a discontinued operation as of December 31, 2024. As a result, the related assets, liabilities and operating results of Engineered Materials are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Throughout these notes, unless otherwise indicated, amounts and activity are presented on a continuing operations basis. See Item 8 under Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. On May 16, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Engineered Materials segment to Grupo Verzatec S.A. de C.V. (“Verzatec”). On May 26, 2022, Verzatec terminated the sale agreement and paid $ 7.5 million to the Company in termination fees, which is presented within Miscellaneous income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Separation On March 30, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to pursue a separation into two independent, publicly-traded companies (the “Separation”). On April 3, 2023, Crane Holdings, Co. completed the Separation into two independent, publicly-traded companies, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company, through a pro-rata distribution (the "Distribution") of all of the outstanding common stock of Crane Company to the stockholders of Crane Holdings, Co., which on April 3, 2023 was renamed “Crane NXT, Co.” The Distribution was effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 3, 2023. As a result of the Distribution, Crane Company became an independent public company. Our common stock is listed under the symbol "CR" on the New York Stock Exchange. Due to Crane Company’s larger operations, greater tangible assets, greater fair value and greater net sales, in each case, relative to Crane NXT, Co., among other factors, Crane Company was treated as the “accounting spinnor” and therefore was the “accounting successor” to Crane Holdings, Co. for accounting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Separation. Therefore, following the Separation, the historical Consolidated Financial Statements of Crane Company reflect the historical Consolidated Financial Statements of Crane Holdings, Co. with the Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment and other distributed assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations. In connection with the Separation on April 3, 2023, Crane Holdings, Co., which was renamed “Crane NXT, Co.,” and Crane Company entered into various agreements to effect the Separation and provide a framework for their relationship after the Separation, including a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and an intellectual property matters agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation between Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at, and after the consummation of the Separation and govern certain relationships between Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company after the Separation. The tax matter agreement includes to a limited extent, indemnifying Crant NXT, Co. for uncertain tax benefits which are attributable to the Company’s business. Such total liability amounts are included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $ 3.1 million and $ 7.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded $ 5.0 million and $ 3.4 million of income within Miscellaneous income, net related to such agreements including a reduction of the indemnification liability resulting from the expiration of statute of limitations on certain tax positions, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had a receivable of$ 2.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and $ 2.2 million as of December 31, 2023, related to the transition services agreement and tax matters agreement. Additionally, as part of the Separation, to a limited extent, the Company has agreed to indemnify Crane NXT, Co. for uncertain tax benefits, which are attributable to the Company’s business. On April 3, 2023, prior to the consummation of the Separation, the Board of Directors of Crane Company declared and paid a one-time cash dividend in the amount of $ 275 million to Crane Holdings, Co., its sole stockholder at that time, as part of establishing the capital structure at Crane NXT, Co. 46 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In connection with the Separation, we distributed net assets of $ 804.5 million through equity, including the cash dividend of $ 275 million and $ 303 million in cash balances. The net assets distributed includes an adjustment of $9.3 million recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024, to correct the amount previously recognized at the time of the Distribution. As a result of the Separation, the Payment & Merchandising segment qualified as a discontinued operation and accordingly, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of this segment are reported as discontinued operations. See Note 3 for additional information. Divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities On August 12, 2022, Crane Holdings, Co., Crane Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Holdings, Co., and Redco Corporation (“Redco”), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Company that held liabilities including asbestos liabilities and related insurance assets, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Redco Purchase Agreement”) with Spruce Lake Liability Management Holdco LLC (“Redco Buyer”), an unrelated third party and long-term liability management company specializing in the acquisition and management of legacy corporate liabilities whereby Crane Company transferred to Redco Buyer all of the issued and outstanding shares of Redco (the “Redco Sale”). In connection with the Redco Sale, Crane Holdings, Co., on behalf of Crane Company, contributed approximately $ 550 million in cash to Redco, which was funded by a combination of short-term borrowings and cash on hand. As a result of the Redco Sale, all asbestos obligations and liabilities, related insurance assets and associated deferred tax assets were removed from Crane Holdings, Co.’s consolidated balance sheets effective August 12, 2022. A loss on the divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities of $ 162.4 million was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. Sale of Crane Supply On April 8, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Crane Supply business for CAD 380 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis. The sale closed on May 31, 2022 for CAD 402 million and in August 2022, the Company received CAD 5 million related to a final working capital adjustment. The Company recognized a total gain on sale of $ 232.5 million. Significant Accounting Policies Accounting Principles. Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Crane Company and our subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. As used in these notes, the terms "we," "us," "our," "Crane" and the "Company" mean Crane Company and our subsidiaries unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise. Basis of presentation. Certain amounts in the prior years’ Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely to totals we provide, and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures. Use of Estimates. Our accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimated. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. Estimates are used when accounting for such items as asset valuations, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment assessments, reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, reserve for warranty provision, restructuring provisions, employee benefits, taxes, environmental liability, contingencies and any related insurance recoveries, as applicable. Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; results of operations are translated at the monthly average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in a separate component of equity. Revenue Recognition. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” we recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services in a contract transfers to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We account for a contract when both parties have approved and committed to the terms, each party’s rights and payment obligations under the contract are identifiable, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration. When shipping and handling activities are performed after the customer obtains control of product, we elect to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the product. In determining the transaction price of a contract, we exercise judgment to determine the total transaction price when it includes estimates of variable consideration, such as rebates and milestone payments. We generally estimate variable consideration using the expected value method and 47 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS consider all available information (historical, current, and forecasted) in estimating these amounts. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. We elect to exclude from the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer. We primarily generate revenue through the manufacture and sale of engineered industrial products. Each product within a contract generally represents a separate performance obligation, as we do not provide a significant service of integrating or installing the products, the products do not customize each other, and the products can function independently of each other. Control of products generally transfers to the customer at a point in time, as the customer does not control the products as they are manufactured. We exercise judgment and consider the timing of right to payment, transfer of risk and rewards, transfer of title, transfer of physical possession, and customer acceptance when determining when control transfers to the customer. As a result, revenue from the sale of products is generally recognized at a point in time - either upon shipment or delivery - based on the specific shipping terms in the contract. When products are customized or products are sold directly to the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts, revenue is recognized over time because control is transferred continuously to customers, as the contract progresses. We exercise judgment to determine whether the products have an alternative use to us. When an alternative use does not exist for these products and we are entitled to payment for performance completed to date which includes a reasonable profit margin, revenue is recognized over time. When a contract with the U.S. government or subcontract for the U.S. government contains clauses indicating that the U.S. government owns any work-in-progress as the contracted product is being built, revenue is recognized over time. The measure of progress applied by us is the cost-to-cost method as this provides the most faithful depiction of the pattern of transfer of control. Under this method, we measure progress by comparing costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to provide the performance obligation. This method effectively reflects our progress toward completion, as this methodology includes any work-in-process amounts as part of the measure of progress. Costs incurred represent work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Total revenue recognized and cost estimates are updated on a monthly basis. In 2024, the Company recognized approximately $ 108.0 million in revenue over time related to contracts in progress as of December 31, 2024. When there are multiple performance obligations in a single contract, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices. We maximize the use of observable data inputs and consider all information (including market conditions, segment-specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer) that is reasonably available. The standalone selling price for our products and services is generally determined using an observable list price, which differs by class of customer. Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods (for example, due to changes in the transaction price or estimates), was not material in any period. Payment for products is due within a limited time period after shipment or delivery, and we generally do not offer extended payment terms. Payment is typically due within 30-90 calendar days of the respective invoice dates. Customers generally do not make large upfront payments. Any advanced payments received do not provide us with a significant benefit of financing, as the payments are meant to secure materials used to fulfill the contract, as opposed to providing us with a significant financing benefit. When an unconditional right to consideration exists, we record these amounts as receivables. When amounts are dependent on factors other than the passage of time in order for payment from a customer to become due, we record a contract asset. Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts, where revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. We pay sales commissions related to certain contracts, which qualify as incremental costs of obtaining a contract. However, the sales commissions generally relate to contracts for products or services satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time less than one year. As a result, we apply the practical expedient that allows an entity to recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less. See Note 5, “Revenue” for further details. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold includes the costs of inventory sold and the related purchase and distribution costs. In addition to material, labor and direct overhead and inventoried cost, cost of goods sold include allocations of other expenses that are part of the production process, such as inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, 48 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS warehousing costs, amortization of production related intangible assets and depreciation expense. We also include costs directly associated with products sold, such as warranty provisions. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses are recognized as incurred. Such expenses include the costs of promoting and selling products and include such items as compensation, advertising, sales commissions and travel. Also included are costs related to compensation for other operating activities such as executive office administrative and engineering functions, as well as general operating expenses such as office supplies, non-income taxes, insurance and office equipment rentals. Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These balances are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the year(s) in which these temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred income taxes is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Based on consideration of all available evidence regarding their utilization, we record net deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Where, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance for the amount that, in management's judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The evidence we consider in reaching such conclusions includes, but is not limited to, (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (2) future taxable income exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences, (3) taxable income in prior carryback year(s) if carryback is permitted under the tax law, (4) cumulative losses in recent years, (5) a history of tax losses or credit carryforwards expiring unused, (6) a carryback or carryforward period that is so brief it limits realization of tax benefits, and (7) a strong earnings history exclusive of the loss that created the carryforward and support showing that the loss is an aberration rather than a continuing condition. We account for unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740, which prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based solely on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line of our Consolidated Statement of Operations, while accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line of our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 49 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Earnings Per Share. Our basic earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted share units, deferred stock units and performance-based restricted share units. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury method. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the year. (in millions, except per share data) For the year ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders $ 268.2 $ 175.9 $ 166.4 Income from discontinued operations, net of tax (Note 3) 26.5 80.0 234.7 Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 294.7 $ 255.9 $ 401.1 Average basic shares outstanding 57.2 56.7 56.4 Effect of dilutive share-based awards 1.1 0.8 0.8 Average diluted shares outstanding 58.3 57.5 57.2 Earnings per basic share: Earnings per basic share from continuing operations $ 4.69 $ 3.10 $ 2.95 Earnings per basic share from discontinued operations 0.46 1.41 4.16 Earnings per basic share $ 5.15 $ 4.51 $ 7.11 Earnings per diluted share: Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations $ 4.60 $ 3.06 $ 2.91 Earnings per diluted share from discontinued operations 0.45 1.39 4.10 Earnings per diluted share $ 5.05 $ 4.45 $ 7.01 The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock options when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock options. During 2024, 2023 and 2022, the number of stock options excluded from the computation was 0.2 million, 0.4 million and 0.4 million, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to cash and are not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. As a result, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 8.7 million and $ 8.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts activity was not material to our financial results for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers and relatively small account balances within the majority of our customer base and their dispersion across different businesses. We periodically evaluate the financial strength of our customers and believe that our credit risk exposure is limited. Inventories, net. Inventories consist of the following: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 Finished goods $ 64.2 $ 64.4 Finished parts and subassemblies 50.7 49.9 Work in process 51.4 40.5 Raw materials 214.1 189.1 Total inventories, net $ 380.4 $ 343.9 Inventories, net include the costs of material, labor and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Domestic inventories are stated at either the lower of cost or net realizable value using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method or the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories held in foreign locations are primarily stated at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO method. The LIFO method is not being used at our foreign locations as such a method is not allowable for tax purposes. Changes in the levels of LIFO inventories have increased cost of sales by $ 4.0 million, $ 4.7 million and $ 4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The portion of inventories costed using the LIFO method was 52.6 % and 49.3 % of consolidated inventories as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, 50 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS respectively. If inventories that were valued using the LIFO method had been valued under the FIFO method, they would have been higher by $ 29.0 million and $ 25.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was $ 81.2 million and $ 76.4 million as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples of events or changes in circumstances could include, but are not limited to, a prolonged economic downturn, current period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of an asset or asset group, or a current expectation that an asset or asset group will be sold or disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life. Recoverability is based upon projections of anticipated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the use and eventual disposal of the long-lived asset (or asset group), as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. Reviews occur at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of cash flows associated with other long-lived assets or asset groups. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the long-lived asset is considered impaired and a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. Judgments which impact these assessments relate to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and our ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets, and are affected primarily by changes in the expected use of the assets, changes in technology or development of alternative assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and changes in expected future cash flows. Since judgment is involved in determining the recoverable amount of long-lived assets, there is risk that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may require adjustment in future periods. Property, Plant and Equipment, net. Property, plant and equipment, net consists of the following: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 Land $ 43.8 $ 43.7 Buildings and improvements 156.2 144.1 Machinery and equipment 482.9 473.9 Gross property, plant and equipment 682.9 661.7 Less: accumulated depreciation 421.6 417.2 Property, plant and equipment, net $ 261.3 $ 244.5 Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from 10 to 25 years for buildings and improvements and three to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Depreciation expense was $ 33.4 million, $ 29.3 million and $ 28.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Our business acquisitions have typically resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets. We follow the provisions under ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) as it relates to the accounting for goodwill in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These provisions require that we, on at least an annual basis, evaluate the fair value of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned and attributed and compare that fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if an impairment has occurred. We perform our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter. Impairment testing takes place more often than annually if events or circumstances indicate a change in status that would indicate a potential impairment. We believe that there have been no other events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below its carrying value. A reporting unit is an operating segment unless discrete financial information is prepared and reviewed by segment management for businesses one level below that operating segment (a “component”), in which case the component would be the reporting unit. As of December 31, 2024, we had four reporting units. At December 31, 2024, Goodwill related to the Engineered Materials segment was classified as held for sale. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations” for additional details. When performing our annual impairment assessment, we compare the fair value of each of our reporting units to our respective carrying value. Goodwill is considered to be potentially impaired when the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair values are established primarily by discounting estimated future cash flows at an estimated cost of capital which varies for each reporting unit and which, as of our most recent annual impairment assessment, ranged between 9.0 % and 9.5 % (a weighted average of 9.2 %), reflecting the respective inherent business risk of each of the reporting units tested. This methodology for valuing our reporting units (commonly referred to as the Income Method) has not changed since the adoption of the provisions under ASC 350. The determination of discounted cash flows is based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts, which change from year to year. The revenue growth rates included in the forecasts represent best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions. Profit margin assumptions are projected by each reporting unit based on the current cost structure and anticipated net cost increases/reductions. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions, including changes in market conditions, and management judgment is necessary in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. In addition to the foregoing, for each reporting unit, market multiples are used to corroborate 51 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS discounted cash flow results where fair value is estimated based on earnings multiples determined by available public information of comparable businesses. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of our reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may then be determined to be overstated and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings. No impairment charges have been required during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 or 2022. Changes to goodwill are as follows: (in millions) Aerospace & Electronics (a) Process Flow Technologies (b) (c) Total Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 202.3 $ 317.3 $ 519.6 Acquisition — 49.9 49.9 Currency translation 0.1 6.8 6.9 Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ 202.4 $ 374.0 $ 576.4 Acquisition 46.2 50.3 96.5 Currency translation ( 0.1 ) ( 11.2 ) ( 11.3 ) Balance as of December 31, 2024 $ 248.5 $ 413.1 $ 661.6 (a) For the year ended December 31, 2024, adjustments within the Aerospace & Electronics segment of $ 46.2 million relate to the acquisition of Vian. See Note 2 for further information. (b) For the year ended December 31, 2024, adjustments within the Process Flow Technologies segment of $ 50.3 million relate to the acquisitions of Technifab and CryoWorks. See Note 2 for further information. (c) For the year ended December 31, 2023, adjustments within the Process Flow Technologies segment of $ 49.9 million relate to the acquisition of BAUM. See Note 2 for further information. Intangibles with indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. If the carrying amount of an indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value is calculated using relief from royalty method. We amortize the cost of definite-lived intangibles over their estimated useful lives. In addition to annual testing for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, we review all of our definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples of events or changes in circumstances could include, but are not limited to, a prolonged economic downturn, current period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of an asset or asset group, or a current expectation that an asset or asset group will be sold or disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life. Recoverability is based upon projections of anticipated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the use and eventual disposal of the definite-lived intangible asset (or asset group), as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. Reviews occur at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of cash flows associated with other long-lived assets or asset groups and include estimated future revenues, gross profit margins, operating profit margins and capital expenditures which are based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts, which change from year to year. The revenue growth rates included in the forecasts represent our best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions, and the profit margin assumptions are based on the current cost structure and anticipated net cost increases or reductions. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions, including changes in market conditions, and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the definite-lived intangible asset is considered impaired and a charge would be taken against net earnings based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. Judgments that we make which impact these assessments relate to the expected useful lives of definite-lived assets and its ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets, and are affected primarily by changes in the expected use of the assets, changes in technology or development of alternative assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and changes in expected future cash flows. Since judgment is involved in determining the recoverable amount of definite-lived intangible assets, there is risk that the carrying value of our definite-lived intangible assets may require adjustment in future periods. Historical results to date have generally approximated expected cash flows for the identifiable cash flow generating level. As of December 31, 2024, we had $ 159.9 million of net intangible assets, of which $ 21.4 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives, consisting of trade names. As of December 31, 2023, we had $ 87.1 million of net intangible assets, of which $ 22.1 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives, consisting of trade names. 52 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Changes to intangible assets are as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Balance at beginning of period, net of accumulated amortization $ 87.1 $ 70.7 $ 77.3 Additions (a) (b) 92.4 21.1 — Amortization expense ( 17.6 ) ( 6.1 ) ( 5.5 ) Currency translation and other ( 2.0 ) 1.4 ( 1.1 ) Balance at end of period, net of accumulated amortization $ 159.9 $ 87.1 $ 70.7 (a) For the year ended December 31, 2024, additions of $ 92.4 million relate to the acquisitions of Vian, CryoWorks and Technifab.

The amendments require that public business entities disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on our disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses . The amendment requires new financial statement disclosures to provide disaggregated information for certain types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, ASU 2024-03 should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on our disclosures. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The amendments were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the standard for its annual reporting effective January 1, 2024. The Company considered the applicability and impact of all other Accounting Standards Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and determined them to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations, Balance Sheets and Cash Flows.

This approach is based on the assumption that in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset. Therefore, a portion of earnings, equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the use of the asset, can be attributed to our ownership. The fair values of the customer relationships and backlog intangible assets were determined by using an income approach which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. Under this approach, the net earnings attributable to the asset or liability being measured are isolated using the discounted projected net cash flows. These projected cash flows are isolated from the projected cash flows of the combined asset group over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Our estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected pricing, operational performance including market participant synergies, aftermarket retention, product life cycles, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. Where appropriate, the net cash flows were adjusted to reflect the potential attrition of existing customers in the future, as existing customers are expected to decline over time. The attrition-adjusted future cash flows are then discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis which approximates the economic pattern of benefits. Supplemental Pro Forma Data The results of operations of Technifab, CryoWorks and Vian have been included in our financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the respective acquisition dates. Consolidated pro forma revenue and net income attributable to common shareholders related to these acquisitions have not been presented since their impact is not material to our financial results for the period. 58 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 3 - Discontinued Operations Engineered Materials A business is classified as held for sale when management having the authority to approve the action commits to a plan to sell the business, the sale is probable to occur during the next 12 months at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and certain other criteria are met. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. When the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized and updated each reporting period as appropriate. Executing on our strategy to focus our growth investments on our two remaining segments, on December 2, 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell our Engineered Materials. On January 1, 2025, we completed the transaction for approximately $208.0 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis. The sale was subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Corporate expenses consist of corporate office expenses including compensation, benefits, occupancy, depreciation, and other administrative costs. Assets of the business segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, certain property, plant and equipment, and certain other assets. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We account for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market prices. The Company’s segments maintain separate financial information. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, uses forecast-to-actual variances and year-over-year variances on a monthly basis when assessing segment performance and forecasts in deciding how to allocate resources among the segments. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments based on operating profit. We currently have two reporting segments: Aerospace & Electronics and Process Flow Technologies. A brief description of each of our current segments is as follows: Aerospace & Electronics The Aerospace & Electronics segment supplies critical components and systems, including original equipment and aftermarket parts, primarily for the commercial aerospace, and the military aerospace, defense and space markets. Its brands have decades of proven experience, and in many cases invented the critical technologies in their respective markets.

As of December 31, 2024, backlog was $ 1,240.2 million. We expect to recognize approximately 81 % of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2025, an additional 15 % by 2026 and the balance thereafter. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts, where revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. We report contract assets, which are included within “Other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and contract liabilities, which are included within “Accrued liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 Contract assets $ 65.7 $ 63.5 Contract liabilities $ 36.3 $ 41.0 During 2024 we recognized revenue of $ 34.3 million related to contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023. 65 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 6 – Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed when incurred and are included in “Selling, general and administrative” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Research and Development Costs $ 46.1 $ 54.8 $ 48.3 Note 7 – Pension and Postretirement Benefits Pension Plan In the United States, we sponsor a defined benefit pension plan that covers approximately 13 % of all U.S. employees. Effective January 1, 2013, pension eligible non-union employees no longer earn future benefits in the domestic defined benefit pension plan. The benefits are based on years of service and compensation on a final average pay basis, except for certain hourly employees where benefits are fixed per year of service. Charges to expense are based upon costs computed by an independent actuary. Contributions are intended to provide for future benefits earned to date. Additionally, a number of our non-U.S. subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans cover approximately 10 % of all non-U.S. employees. The benefits are typically based upon years of service and compensation. Most of these plans are funded by company contributions to pension funds, which are held for the sole benefit of plan participants and beneficiaries. In December 2022, we settled the pension plan for the salaried non-bargaining employees of Crane Canada Co. and recognized a loss of $ 7.0 million, net of tax. In August 2023, the Company received a distribution of $ 45.3 million after distributions to plan participants. Postretirement Plans Postretirement health care and life insurance benefits are provided for certain employees hired before January 1, 1990, who meet minimum age and service requirements.

Other sources of gains or losses such as plan experience, updated census data and minor adjustments to actuarial assumptions generated combined losses of less than 1 % of expected year end obligations. In the Non-U.S. countries, 2024 actuarial gains in the projected benefit obligation were primarily the result of increases in discount rates and updated UK mortality. Other sources of gains or losses such as plan experience, updated census data, changes to forecast inflation, mortality table updates and minor adjustments to other actuarial assumptions generated combined losses of less than 1 % of expected year end obligations. In the U.S., 2023 actuarial losses in the projected benefit obligation were primarily the result of a decrease in the discount rate. Other sources of gains or losses such as plan experience, updated census data and minor adjustments to actuarial assumptions generated combined losses of less than 1 % of expected year end obligations.

The discount rates used by us for valuing pension liabilities are based on a review of high-quality corporate bond yields with maturities approximating the remaining life of the projected benefit obligations. In the U.S. plan, the 8.25 % expected rate of return on assets assumption for 2024 reflected a long-term target comprised of an asset allocation range of 25 %- 75 % equity securities, 15 %- 35 % fixed income securities, 10 %- 35 % alternative assets and 0 %- 10 % cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024, the actual asset allocation for the U.S. plan was 48.7 % equity securities, 38.9 % fixed income securities, 9.3 % alternative assets and 3.1 % cash and cash equivalents. During 2024, the pension committee voted to reduce the funded status risk by increasing the allocation to liability matching fixed income investments. For the non-U.S. plans, the 6.21 % expected rate of return on assets assumption for 2024 reflected a weighted average of the long-term asset allocation targets for our various non-U.S. plans. As of December 31, 2024, the actual weighted average asset allocation for the non-U.S. plans was 7.2 % equity securities, 67.7 % fixed income securities, 22.2 % alternative assets/other and 3.0 % cash and cash equivalents. The assumed health care cost trend rates are as follows: December 31, 2024 2023 Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year 7.25 % 7.25 % Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) 4.50 % 4.50 % Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2035 2035 Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for our health care plans. Plan Assets Our pension plan target allocations and weighted-average asset allocations by asset category are as follows: Target Allocation Actual Allocation Asset Category December 31, 2024 2023 Equity securities 15 %- 55 % 34 % 38 % Fixed income securities 30 %- 75 % 49 % 40 % Alternative assets/Other 0 %- 30 % 14 % 20 % Cash and money market 0 %- 10 % 3 % 2 % Independent investment consultants are retained to assist in executing the plans’ investment strategies. A number of factors are evaluated in determining if an investment strategy will be implemented in our pension trusts. These factors include, but are not limited to, investment style, investment risk, investment manager performance and costs. We periodically review investment managers and their performance in relation to our plans’ investment objectives. 69 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The primary investment objective of our various pension trusts is to maximize the value of plan assets, focusing on capital preservation, current income and long-term growth of capital and income. The plans’ assets are typically invested in a broad range of equity securities, fixed income securities, alternative assets and cash instruments. Equity securities include investments in large, mid, and small-capitalization companies located in both developed countries and emerging markets around the world. Fixed income securities include government bonds of various countries, corporate bonds that are primarily investment-grade, mortgage-backed securities and other liability hedging assets. Alternative assets include investments in real estate and hedge funds employing a wide variety of strategies.

Cash Flows We expect, based on current actuarial calculations, to contribute cash of approximately $ 16.8 million to our defined benefit pension plans during 2025. Cash contributions in subsequent years will depend on a number of factors including the investment performance of plan assets. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid: Estimated future payments (in millions) Pension Benefits Postretirement Benefits 2025 $ 51.4 $ 0.4 2026 51.5 0.4 2027 52.7 0.3 2028 53.9 0.3 2029 51.5 0.2 2030 to 2034 252.3 0.9 Total payments $ 513.3 $ 2.5 Defined Contribution Plans We sponsor savings and investment plans that are available to our eligible employees including employees of our subsidiaries. We made contributions to the plans of $ 9.1 million, $ 8.4 million and $ 8.2 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition to participant deferral contributions and company matching contributions on those deferrals, we provide a 3 % non-matching contribution to eligible participants. We made non-matching contributions to these plans of $ 10.8 million, $ 9.7 million and $ 9.3 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 71 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans At December 31, 2024, we had stock-based compensation awards outstanding under the Crane Company 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). The 2023 Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) on February 27, 2023, and by Crane Holdings, Co. as the sole shareholder of the Company on February 27, 2023. The 2023 Plan authorized the issuance of up to 9,750,000 shares of stock pursuant to awards under the plan. In accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement entered into between Crane Holdings, Co. and Crane Company, as further described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” previously outstanding equity compensation awards granted under the historical Crane Holdings, Co. 2018 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plans prior to the Separation and held by certain executives and employees of Crane Holdings, Co. were adjusted to reflect the impact of the Separation on these awards. To preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of these equity compensation awards, as measured immediately before and immediately after the Separation, each Crane Holdings, Co. equity-based compensation award was adjusted using either the shareholder method or the replacement method. Any stock-based compensation award held by an Executive Officer or Non-Employee Director was adjusted using the shareholder method, in which each Crane Holdings, Co. equity compensation award outstanding prior to the Separation was adjusted into a Crane NXT, Co. Equity Compensation Award under one of the continuing Crane Holdings, Co. Stock Incentive Plans and a Crane Company equity compensation award under the Crane Company 2023 Stock Incentive Plan. All other stock based compensation awards were adjusted using the replacement method in which each Crane Holdings, Co. equity compensation award outstanding prior to the Separation was adjusted into either a Crane NXT, Co. equity compensation award under one of the continuing Crane Holdings, Co. Stock Incentive Plans or a Crane Company Equity Compensation Award under the Crane Company 2023 Stock Incentive Plan, based on whether the award holder is employed by Crane NXT, Co. or Crane Company immediately after the Separation. The stock incentive plans are used to provide long-term incentive compensation through stock options, restricted share units, performance-based restricted share units and deferred stock units. Stock Options Options are granted under the Stock Incentive Plan to officers and other key employees and directors at an exercise price equal to the closing price on the date of grant. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee which administers the plan, options become exercisable at a rate of 25 % after the first year, 50 % after the second year, 75 % after the third year and 100 % after the fourth year from the date of grant. All options granted to directors and options granted to officers and employees after 2014 expire 10 years after the date of grant. We determine the fair value of each grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions for grants made during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: 2024 2023 2022 Dividend yield 0.66 % 1.57 % 2.05 % Volatility 32.83 % 32.33 % 33.96 % Risk-free interest rate 4.12 % 3.67 % 1.92 % Expected lives in years 7.8 7.7 7.2 Expected dividend yield is based on our dividend rate. Expected stock volatility was determined based upon the historical volatility for the four-year period preceding the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve in effect at the time the options were granted, using U.S. constant maturities over the expected life of the option. The expected lives of the awards represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Activity in our stock option plans for the year ended December 31, 2024, were as follows: Option Activity Number of Shares (in 000’s) Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Life (Years) Options outstanding as of January 1, 2024 1,375 $ 55.97 Granted 66 124.80 Exercised ( 223 ) 47.15 Options outstanding as of December 31, 2024 1,218 $ 61.33 4.9 Options exercisable as of December 31, 2024 988 $ 55.26 4.3 72 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Information regarding our stock option activity is as follows: (in millions, except fair value per award) December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Weighted-average grant-date fair value per award $ 52.50 $ 42.47 $ 32.51 Total fair value of options vested $ 2.7 $ 5.7 $ 5.6 Total intrinsic value of options exercised $ 22.7 $ 24.3 $ 11.8 Aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options $ 95.4 $ 67.7 $ 26.5 Total proceeds from option exercises $ 10.5 $ 30.3 $ 22.8 Tax benefit relating to option exercises $ 4.1 $ 5.0 $ 1.8 Included in our share-based compensation was expense recognized for our stock option awards of $ 4.0 million, $ 4.5 million and $ 5.1 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These amounts include expense related to discontinued operations of $ 0.1 million, $ 0.3 million and $ 0.6 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there was $ 3.4 million of total future compensation cost related to unvested share-based awards to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.15 years. Restricted Share Units and Performance-Based Restricted Share Units Restricted share units vest at a rate of 25 % after the first year, 50 % after the second year, 75 % after the third year and 100 % after the fourth year from the date of grant and are subject to forfeiture restrictions which lapse over time. The vesting of performance-based restricted share units is determined in three years based on relative total shareholder return for Crane Company compared to the S&P Midcap 400 Capital Goods Group, with payout potential ranging from 0 % to 200 % but capped at 100 % if our three-year total shareholder return is negative. Included in our share-based compensation was expense recognized for our restricted share unit and performance-based restricted share unit awards of $ 18.5 million, $ 14.5 million and $ 19.1 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These amounts include expense related to discontinued operations of $ 0.3 million, $ 0.9 million and $ 2.5 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The tax benefit for the vesting of the restricted share units was $ 6.5 million, $ 2.0 million and $ 1.2 million as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there was $ 20.1 million of total future compensation cost related to restricted share unit and performance-based restricted share unit awards, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.46 years. Changes in our restricted share units for the year ended December 31, 2024, were as follows: Restricted Share Unit Activity Restricted Share Units (in 000’s) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Restricted share units as of January 1, 2024 456 $ 71.14 Restricted share units granted 106 126.52 Restricted share units vested ( 147 ) 65.56 Restricted share units forfeited ( 13 ) 90.11 Performance-based restricted share units granted 48 151.79 Performance-based restricted share units vested ( 60 ) 72.38 Restricted share units as of December 31, 2024 390 $ 97.47 Liability Performance-Based Restricted Share Units As a result of Separation, certain executives hold performance-based restricted share units (“PRSUs”) that have undergone an equity-to-liability modification and are denominated in Crane NXT, Co. stock. As the PRSUs vest based on the performance of Crane NXT, Co.’s stock, the PRSUs are classified as a liability. The fair value of the PRSU liability was estimated based on a Monte Carlo simulation, which models multiple stock price paths of Crane NXT, Co.’s stock and that of its peer group to evaluate and determine its ultimate expected relative TSR. The awards are fair valued throughout the vesting period via the Monte Carlo simulation. 73 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $ 3.5 million and $ 7.9 million in share-based compensation expense related to the liability PRSUs, respectively. During 2024, 101,182 units vested and were settled by Crane NXT Co. The impact from settlement of this liability was reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity as a $ 6.1 million capital contribution. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total liability related to these awards was $ 7.4 million and$ 10.0 million, respectively, and included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Note 9 - Leases Arrangements that explicitly or implicitly relate to property, plant and equipment are assessed at inception to determine if the arrangement is or contains a lease. Generally, we enter into operating leases as the lessee and recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. We lease certain vehicles, equipment, manufacturing facilities, and non-manufacturing facilities. We have leases with both lease components and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, utilities, or other repairs and maintenance. For all asset classes, we applied the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease component(s) as a single lease component. We identify variable lease payments, such as maintenance payments based on actual activities performed or costs incurred, at lease commencement by assessing the nature of the payment provisions, including whether the payments are subject to a minimum. Certain leases include options to renew for an additional term or company-controlled options to terminate. We generally determine it is not reasonably certain to assume the exercise of renewal options because there is no economic incentive to renew. As termination options often include penalties, we generally determine it is reasonably certain that termination options will not be exercised because there is an economic incentive not to terminate. Therefore, these options generally do not impact the lease term or the determination or classification of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. In the first quarter of 2023, we entered a five-year lease for a used airplane which includes a maximum residual value guarantee of $ 5.1 million in the event the aircraft is sold for less than the purchase price option of $ 10.6 million. We do not believe it is probable that any amount will be owed under this guarantee. Therefore, no amount related to the residual value guarantee is included in the lease payments used to measure the right-of-use asset and lease liability. We have not entered any other leases where a residual value guarantee is provided to the lessor. We do not enter arrangements where restrictions or covenants are imposed by the lessor that, for example, relate to incurring additional financial obligations. Furthermore, we also have not entered into any significant sublease arrangements. We use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of future payments and the appropriate lease classification. The rate implicit in the lease is generally unknown, as we generally operate in the capacity of the lessee. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet includes the following related to leases: (in millions) December 31, Classification 2024 2023 Assets Operating right-of-use assets Other assets $ 69.1 $ 63.2 Liabilities Current lease liabilities Accrued liabilities $ 13.0 $ 10.4 Long-term lease liabilities Other liabilities 59.3 55.9 Total lease liabilities $ 72.3 $ 66.3 The components of lease cost were as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Operating lease cost $ 17.2 $ 16.0 $ 17.3 Variable lease cost 7.1 5.1 4.5 Total lease cost $ 24.3 $ 21.1 $ 21.8 74 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for our operating leases were as follows: December 31, 2024 2023 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases (in years) 6.9 7.6 Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 4.3 % 4.2 % Supplemental cash flow information related to our operating leases were as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of operating lease liabilities - operating cash flows $ 16.4 $ 14.0 $ 13.7 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ 20.8 $ 16.7 $ 15.2 Future minimum operating lease payments are as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2025 $ 16.4 2026 14.6 2027 13.5 2028 10.0 2029 6.9 Thereafter 23.5 Total future minimum operating lease payments $ 84.9 Imputed interest 12.6 Present value of lease liabilities reported $ 72.3 75 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 10 – Income Taxes Provision for Income Taxes Our income before taxes is as follows: (in millions) For year ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 U.S. operations $ 207.0 $ 127.1 $ ( 117.2 ) Non-U.S. operations 131.5 106.0 353.7 Total $ 338.5 $ 233.1 $ 236.5 Our provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of: (in millions) For the year ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Current: U.S. federal tax $ 39.7 $ 36.0 $ 13.7 U.S. state and local tax 4.0 3.8 ( 0.4 ) Non-U.S. tax 38.2 36.1 74.9 Total current 81.9 75.9 88.2 Deferred: U.S. federal tax ( 7.4 ) ( 13.0 ) 3.3 U.S. state and local tax ( 1.7 ) ( 1.5 ) ( 9.9 ) Non-U.S. tax ( 2.5 ) ( 4.2 ) ( 11.5 ) Total deferred ( 11.6 ) ( 18.7 ) ( 18.1 ) Total provision for income taxes $ 70.3 $ 57.2 $ 70.1 76 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal tax rate to our effective tax rate is as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Statutory U.S. federal tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % Increase (reduction) from: Income taxed at non-U.S. rates 2.4 % 4.1 % ( 4.1 ) % Non-U.S. income inclusion, net of tax credits 0.4 % ( 1.7 ) % 0.2 % State and local taxes, net of federal benefit 0.5 % 0.7 % ( 3.2 ) % U.S. research and development tax credit ( 1.3 ) % ( 0.8 ) % ( 0.8 ) % U.S. deduction for foreign - derived intangible income ( 1.5 ) % ( 1.9 ) % ( 1.0 ) % Asbestos Divestiture — % — % 16.4 % Non-deductible expenses 2.5 % 4.4 % 3.3 % Equity Compensation ( 2.6 ) % ( 2.1 ) % ( 0.6 ) % Other ( 0.7 ) % 0.8 % ( 1.5 ) % Effective tax rate 20.8 % 24.5 % 29.6 % As of December 31, 2024, we have made the following determinations with regard to our non-U.S. earnings: (in millions) Permanently reinvested Not permanently reinvested Amount of earnings $ 220.4 $ 838.0 Associated tax NA * $ 10.2 * Determination of U.S. income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes due upon repatriation of this $ 220.4 million of earnings is not practicable because the amount of such taxes depends upon circumstances existing in numerous taxing jurisdictions at the time the remittance occurs. Tax Related to Comprehensive Income During 2024, 2023 and 2022, tax provision of $ 9.2 million, $ 3.2 million and $ 9.1 million, respectively, related to changes in pension and post-retirement plan assets and benefit obligations, were recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss. 77 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Deferred Taxes and Valuation Allowances The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 Deferred tax assets: Tax loss and credit carryforwards $ 45.5 $ 50.9 Inventories 30.0 22.7 Deferred tax asset related to the sale of a subsidiary 7.2 — Capitalized research and development 28.1 22.0 Pension and post retirement benefits — 11.2 Accrued bonuses and stock based compensation 6.3 6.3 Other 13.3 12.3 Total $ 130.4 $ 125.4 Less: valuation allowance 46.2 51.8 Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance $ 84.2 $ 73.6 Deferred tax liabilities: Basis difference in fixed assets $ ( 28.2 ) $ ( 25.1 ) Basis difference in intangible assets ( 67.4 ) ( 53.0 ) Pension and post-retirement benefits ( 2.0 ) — Deferred tax on non-U.S. unremitted earnings ( 10.2 ) ( 11.1 ) Total deferred tax liabilities $ ( 107.8 ) $ ( 89.2 ) Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ ( 23.6 ) $ ( 15.6 ) Balance sheet classification: Long-term deferred tax assets 11.2 20.5 Long-term deferred tax liability ( 34.8 ) ( 36.1 ) Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ ( 23.6 ) $ ( 15.6 ) As of December 31, 2024, we had U.S. federal, U.S. state and non-U.S. tax loss and credit carryforwards that will expire, if unused, as follows: (in millions) Year of expiration U.S. Federal Tax Credits U.S. Federal Tax Losses U.S. State Tax Credits U.S. State Tax Losses Non- U.S. Tax Losses Total 2025-2029 $ — $ — $ 0.8 $ 53.0 $ 0.3 After 2029 1.4 — 0.5 159.8 0.9 Indefinite — — 21.4 60.2 57.6 Total tax carryforwards $ 1.4 $ — $ 22.7 $ 273.0 $ 58.8 $ — Deferred tax asset on tax carryforwards $ 1.4 $ — $ 17.9 $ 10.7 $ 15.5 $ 45.5 Valuation allowance on tax carryforwards ( 1.4 ) — ( 17.8 ) ( 10.7 ) ( 15.5 ) ( 45.4 ) Net deferred tax asset on tax carryforwards $ — $ — $ 0.1 $ — $ — $ 0.1 As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, we determined that it was more likely than not that $ 45.5 million and $ 50.7 million, respectively, of our deferred tax assets related to tax loss and credit carryforwards will not be realized. As a result, we recorded a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. We also determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of the benefit related to U.S. state and non-U.S. deferred tax assets other than tax loss and credit carryforwards will not be realized. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, a valuation allowance of $ 0.7 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively, was established against these U.S. state and non-U.S. deferred tax assets. Our total valuation allowance as of December 31, 2024, and 2023 was $ 46.2 million and $ 51.8 million, respectively. 78 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unrecognized Tax Benefits A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of our gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows: (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Balance of liability as of January 1, $ 7.9 $ 6.9 $ 7.0 Increase as a result of tax positions taken during a prior year 0.1 0.2 — Decrease as a result of tax positions taken during a prior year ( 0.4 ) ( 0.1 ) ( 0.4 ) Increase as a result of tax positions taken during the current year 1.9 1.7 0.9 Decrease as a result of settlements with taxing authorities — — — Reduction as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations ( 1.1 ) ( 0.8 ) ( 0.6 ) Balance of liability as of December 31, $ 8.4 $ 7.9 $ 6.9 As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the amount of our unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was $ 10.4 million, $ 9.3 million and $ 8.2 million, respectively. The difference between these amounts and those reflected in the table above relates to (1) offsetting tax effects from other tax jurisdictions, and (2) interest expense, net of deferred taxes and (3) unrecognized tax benefits whose reversals would be recorded to goodwill. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recognized interest and penalty (income)/ expense of $ 0.5 million, $ 0.3 million and $( 0.1 ) million, respectively, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 we had accrued $ 2.7 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively, of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits could change by $ 0.6 million due to settlements of income tax examinations, the expiration of statutes of limitations or other resolution of uncertainties. However, if the ultimate resolution of income tax examinations results in amounts that differ from this estimate, we will record additional income tax expense or benefit in the period in which such matters are effectively settled. Income Tax Examinations Our income tax returns are generally subject to examination by the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax authorities. Prior to the separation, Crane Company was included in Crane NXT Co.’s consolidated federal income tax group and consolidated tax return. However, as a result of the separation, as described above in Note 1, Crane Company became an independent public company required to file its own corporate income tax returns. Subject to certain limitations and conditions, we have agreed to indemnify Crane NXT Co., for certain pre-separation tax liabilities. For these reasons, and with few exceptions, the years for which we filed returns that are open to examination are as follows: Jurisdiction Year U.S. state and local 2018 - 2023 Non-U.S. 2018 - 2023 Currently, we and our subsidiaries are under examination in various jurisdictions, including Germany (2016 through 2019), Canada (2013 through 2018) and Luxembourg (2017 through 2018). 79 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 11 – Accrued Liabilities Accrued liabilities consist of: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 Employee related expenses $ 116.2 $ 107.8 Current lease liabilities 13.0 10.4 Contract liabilities 36.3 41.0 Environmental liabilities 7.9 8.7 Other 129.8 92.6 Total $ 303.2 $ 260.5 Note 12 – Other Liabilities A summary of the other liabilities is as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 Environmental $ 8.6 $ 12.9 Long-term lease liabilities 59.3 55.9 Other 38.2 36.4 Total $ 106.1 $ 105.2 Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Matters For environmental matters, we record a liability for estimated remediation costs when it is probable that we will be responsible for such costs and they can be reasonably estimated. Generally, third party specialists assist in the estimation of remediation costs. The environmental remediation liability as of December 31, 2024 is substantially related to the former manufacturing site in Goodyear, Arizona (the “Goodyear Site”) discussed below. On August 12, 2022, Crane Holdings, Co., Crane Company, a then wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Holdings, Co., and Redco Corporation (f/k/a Crane Co., (“Redco”)) a then wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Company that held liabilities including asbestos liabilities and related insurance assets, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Redco Purchase Agreement”) with Spruce Lake Liability Management Holdco LLC (“Redco Buyer”), an unrelated third party long-term liability management company specializing in the acquisition and management of legacy corporate liabilities, whereby Crane Company transferred to Redco Buyer all of the issued and outstanding shares of Redco (the “Redco Sale”). Pursuant to the terms of the Redco Purchase Agreement, Crane Company and Redco Buyer will each indemnify the other for breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and obligations and certain liabilities, subject to the terms of the Redco Purchase Agreement. Such covenants and obligations include obligations of Crane Company to indemnify Redco and its affiliates for all other historical liabilities of Redco, which include certain potential environmental liabilities. Crane Holdings, Co. guaranteed the full payment and performance of Crane Company’s indemnification obligations under the Redco Purchase Agreement. On April 3, 2023, Crane Holdings, Co. completed the Separation, pursuant to which, among other things, all outstanding shares of Crane Company were distributed to Crane Holdings, Co.’s stockholders. Upon completion of the Separation, pursuant to the terms of the Redco Purchase Agreement, Crane Holdings, Co. was released from its guarantee of Crane Company’s indemnification obligations under the Redco Purchase Agreement. Prior to the effective date of the Redco Sale, the U.S. Department of Justice agreed that Crane Holdings, Co. and, following completion of the Separation, Crane Company will be primarily liable for the Goodyear Site. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection agreed to transfer the liability of the Roseland Site to Crane Holdings, Co., and to further transfer this environmental liability to Crane Company upon effectiveness of the Separation. The potential liability for the Crab Orchard Site referenced below remains a direct obligation of Redco. As noted above, however, Crane Company has agreed to indemnify Redco and Redco Buyer against the Goodyear, Roseland, and Crab Orchard environmental liabilities. Thus, references below in this Note 12 to “we”, and “us” refer to Crane Company in its capacity as the primarily responsible party for the Goodyear and Roseland Sites, and as indemnitor to and agent for the Redco Buyer on the Crab Orchard Site. Goodyear Site The Goodyear Site was operated by UniDynamics/Phoenix, Inc. (“UPI”), which became an indirect subsidiary in 1985 when Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco) acquired UPI’s parent company, UniDynamics Corporation. UPI was an indirect subsidiary of Crane 80 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Holdings, Co. pre-Separation and became an indirect subsidiary of Crane Company following completion of the Separation. UPI manufactured explosive and pyrotechnic compounds, including components for critical military programs, for the U.S. Government at the Goodyear Site from 1962 to 1993, under contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and other government agencies and certain of their prime contractors. In 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued administrative orders requiring UPI to design and conduct certain remedial actions, which UPI has done. Groundwater extraction and treatment systems have been in operation at the Goodyear Site since 1994. On July 26, 2006, we entered a consent decree with the EPA with respect to the Goodyear Site providing for, among other things, a work plan for further investigation and remediation activities (inclusive of a supplemental remediation investigation and feasibility study). During the third quarter of 2014, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (“ROD”) amendment permitting, among other things, additional source area remediation resulting in us recording a charge of $ 49.0 million, extending the accrued costs through 2022. Following the 2014 ROD amendment, we continued our remediation activities and explored an alternative strategy to accelerate remediation of the site. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we received conceptual agreement from the EPA on our alternative remediation strategy which is expected to further reduce the contaminant plume. Accordingly, in 2019, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $ 18.9 million, net of reimbursements, to extend our forecast period through 2027 and reflect our revised workplan. The remediation of the PGA North Site comprises two main remedial components: a plume management and remediation system (in accordance with the requirements of the 2006 Consent Decree) and source area remediation (to comply with the requirements of the 2014 ROD Amendment). The 2019 conceptual agreement and modified remedial approach focused on enhanced extraction of contaminated groundwater and targeted reinjection of treated groundwater and was designed to accelerate remedial progress at the site. The modified remedial approach required certain capital investments and infrastructure upgrades across the broader plume area, with the final components of this approach commissioned in 2022. In addition, the modified source area treatment remedy was commissioned in late 2023. As part of our approved remedial plans, the Company is required to conduct periodic groundwater monitoring to demonstrate the effectiveness of these system enhancements and provide the EPA with a report evaluating remedial performance, restoration time frames and potential inefficiencies (which may warrant further system upgrade or modifications). The year 2027 was selected as a milestone to enable the collection of 3 to 4 years of post-commissioning data, analysis of data and submission of a performance monitoring report to the EPA with recommendations. This report will document the project restoration time frames for groundwater and outline the future operational scheme, including the key milestones for transitioning from active groundwater treatment to monitoring only. This report will be submitted to the EPA for approval and in combination with regulatory discussions and consultations, is expected to provide clarity on future remedial requirements at the site and associated costs. The total estimated gross liability was $ 16.4 million and $ 20.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and as described below, a portion is reimbursable by the U.S. Government. The current portion of the total estimated liability was $ 7.8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and represents our best estimate, in consultation with our technical advisors, of total remediation costs expected to be paid during the next twelve-month period. It is not possible at this point to reasonably estimate the amount of any obligation in excess of our current accruals through the 2027 forecast period because of the aforementioned uncertainties, in particular, the continued significant changes in the Goodyear Site conditions and additional expectations of remediation activities experienced in recent years. On July 31, 2006, we entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy pursuant to which, among other things, the U.S. Government reimburses us for 21 % of qualifying costs of investigation and remediation activities at the Goodyear Site. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a receivable of $ 3.0 million and $ 3.8 million, respectively, for the expected reimbursements from the U.S. Government in respect of the aggregate liability as at that date. The receivable is reduced as reimbursements and other payments from the U.S. Government are received. 81 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Other Environmental Matters Roseland, NJ Site The Roseland Site was operated by Resistoflex Corporation (“Resistoflex”), which became an indirect subsidiary in 1985 when Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco) acquired Resistoflex’s parent company, UniDynamics Corporation. Resistoflex manufactured specialty lined pipe and fittings at the site from the 1950s until it was closed in the mid-1980s. We undertook an extensive soil remediation effort at the Roseland Site following our closure and had been monitoring the Site’s condition in the years that followed. In response to changes in remediation standards, in 2014 we began to conduct further site characterization and delineation studies at the Site. We have completed a comprehensive delineation of contaminants of concern in soil, groundwater, surface water, sediment, and indoor air in certain buildings, as well as required soil and groundwater remediation at the site all in accordance with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection guidelines and directives. We submitted our remediation completion reports to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and are awaiting feedback and acceptance. We anticipate that only periodic monitoring will be required at the site for the near to medium term. Marion, IL Site Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco) has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to environmental contamination at the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge Superfund Site (the “Crab Orchard Site”). The Crab Orchard Site is located near Marion, Illinois, and consists of approximately 55,000 acres. Beginning in 1941, the United States used the Crab Orchard Site for the production of ordnance and other related products for use in World War II. In 1947, about half of the Crab Orchard Site was leased to a variety of industrial tenants whose activities (which continue to this day) included manufacturing ordnance and explosives. UniDynamics Corporation formerly leased portions of the Crab Orchard Site and conducted manufacturing operations at the Crab Orchard Site from 1952 until 1964. General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Inc. (“GD-OTS”) is in the process of conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility study (“RI-FS”) for portions of the Crab Orchard Site, which include areas where UniDynamics maintained operations, pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent (the “AOC”). A remedial investigation report was approved in February 2015, and work on the feasibility study is underway. It is unclear when the final feasibility study will be completed, or when a final Record of Decision (“ROD”) may be issued. As noted above, we have agreed to indemnify Redco against the Crab Orchard environmental liabilities, and accordingly we act as Redco’s agent with respect to such liabilities. GD-OTS asked Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco) to participate in a voluntary, multi-party mediation exercise with respect to response costs that GD-OTS has incurred or will incur in performing its obligations under the AOC, and Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco), the U.S. Government, and other PRPs entered into a non-binding mediation agreement in 2015 (we have since stepped into Redco’s position as a participant in the mediation). The first phase of the mediation, involving certain former munitions or ordnance storage areas, began in November 2017, but did not result in a multi-party settlement agreement. Subsequently, Redco entered discussions directly with GD-OTS and reached an agreement, as of July 13, 2021, to contribute toward GD-OTS’s past RI-FS costs associated with the first-phase areas for an immaterial amount. We, as indemnitor, have also agreed to pay a modest percentage of future RI-FS costs and the United States’ claimed past response costs relative to the first-phase areas, a sum that has proven to be and that we expect to continue to be, in the aggregate, an immaterial amount. We understand that GD-OTS has also reached agreements with the U.S. Government and other participating PRPs related to the first-phase areas of concern. Following negotiations between GD-OTS, the U.S. Government and remaining participants with respect to resolution of the U.S. Government’s liability for, and contribution claims with respect to, RI/FS costs associated with the remaining areas of the site, including those portions of the Crab Orchard Site where Redco’s predecessor conducted manufacturing and research activities, have resulted in agreement upon the terms of a consent decree for resolving the U.S. Government’s share of RI/FS costs, which was lodged for entry with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on January 10, 2025. As part of these negotiations, and in order to obtain the protections provided by the draft consent decree, we have reached agreement with GD-OTS on our contribution to the United States’ claimed past response costs, for an immaterial sum, and have executed separate settlement and escrow agreements to memorialize the parties’ agreement with respect to the United States’ response costs. Negotiations remain ongoing between us and GD-OTS regarding a potential resolution of GD-OTS’ claim for costs that it has incurred and expects to incur in performing its obligations under the AOC. We at present cannot predict when any determination of the ultimate allocable share of GD-OTS response costs for which we may be liable is likely to be completed. None of these discussions address responsibility for the performance of, or payment of costs incurred in connection with, any remedial design or remedial action that may be required pursuant to the ROD (when it is ultimately issued). It is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the total amount of any obligation for remediation of the Crab Orchard Site as a whole because the allocation among PRPs, selection of remediation alternatives, and concurrence of regulatory authorities have not yet advanced to the stage where a reasonable estimate can be made. Insurers with 82 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS contractual coverage obligations for this site have been notified of this potential liability and have been providing coverage, subject to reservations of rights. LyondellBasell Chemical Leak In July 2023, Crane Company, along with certain of its subsidiaries (“Crane”), were added as defendants in ongoing product liability/personal injury lawsuits filed by 58 victims of a 2021 chemical leak incident that occurred at a LyondellBasell facility in La Porte, Texas. The multi-district lawsuits were consolidated for proceedings in state court in Harris County, Texas, and have been pending since 2021, when the initial set of defendants were sued. Crane is alleged to have manufactured a valve involved in the incident. Plaintiffs also added other defendants to the suits in July 2023 who allegedly either sold or serviced the subject valve or a valve accessory, and discovery for the newly added defendants began moving forward in February 2024. Crane has valid defenses, and insurance coverage that attaches after a modest self-insured retention. All of our insurance providers have been notified of this potential liability and have been cooperating with Crane as it engages in the litigation process. An initial settlement agreement was reached with a portion of the claimants in September 2024, and final settlement agreements were reached with all remaining claimants in February 2025. The entire settlement amount, except for our modest deductible obligation, was within our coverage limits and the insurance carriers have committed to fully fund the settlements. We have recognized a liability as of December 31, 2024 for the settled claims. In conjunction with the liability, a corresponding receivable was recorded as these matters are fully insured. There is no material loss related to this matter as it is covered by insurance. Marion Site Hurricane Damage and Recovery In September 2024, our manufacturing site in Marion, North Carolina was directly affected by flooding from Hurricane Helene. Our insurance generally covers the repair or replacement of assets that suffered damage or loss and also provides business interruption coverage, including lost profits, and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that have been incurred relating to the damages and losses suffered. The recovery related to business interruption will be recognized when realized and received. We are working with our insurance carrier to assess the damage and ascertain the amount of insurance recoveries due to us as a result of the damage and loss we incurred, as such the timing of insurance proceeds may lag behind actual losses incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred expenses of $ 23.3 million related to damages caused by the hurricane, which included professional fees to restore and maintain the site and the write-off of damaged property, equipment and inventory. For the year ended December 31, 2024 we have received insurance recoveries of $ 20.0 million and have an insurance receivable of $ 2.8 million, which is net of the $ 0.5 million deductible. These costs and insurance recoveries are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes the estimated loss from this event, net of insurance recoveries: (in millions) For the year ended December 31, 2024 Site clean-up and remediation costs $ 18.7 Impairment and repairs of property, plant and equipment 2.3 Impairment and rework of inventory 1.8 Other 0.5 Total losses and expenses $ 23.3 Insurance recoveries received 20.0 Insurance recoveries receivable (a) 2.8 Loss from natural disaster, net of insurance recoveries $ 0.5 (a) Included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 83 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Asbestos Liability As a result of the Redco Sale, the Company contributed approximately $ 550 million in cash, and all asbestos obligations and liabilities, related insurance assets and associated deferred tax assets of Redco were removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets effective August 12, 2022, and the Company no longer has any obligation with respect to pending and future asbestos claims. The gross settlement and defense costs incurred for the periods presented was as follows: (in millions) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Settlement / indemnity costs incurred $ 29.4 Defense costs incurred 6.4 Total costs incurred $ 35.8 The total pre-tax payments for settlement and defense costs, net of funds received from insurers, for the periods presented was as follows: (in millions) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Settlement / indemnity payments $ 33.8 Defense payments 6.1 Insurance receipts ( 10.6 ) Pre-tax cash payments, net $ 29.3 Other Proceedings We regularly review the status of lawsuits, claims and proceedings that have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to product liability, including government contracting violations, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, environmental and stockholder matters. We record a provision for a liability for such matters when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions, if any, are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. If either or both of the criteria are not met, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for such matters, we disclose the estimate of the amount of loss or range of loss, disclose that the amount is immaterial, or disclose that an estimate of loss cannot be made, as applicable. We believe that as of December 31, 2024, there was no reasonable possibility that a material loss, or any additional material losses, may have been incurred for such matters, and that adequate provision has been made in our financial statements for the potential impact of all such matters. Note 14 – Financing Our debt as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following: (in millions) December 31, 2024 2023 Term Facility (a) $ 247.0 $ 248.5 Total long-term debt $ 247.0 $ 248.5 (a) Debt issuance costs totaled $ 0.5 million and $ 0.8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and have been netted against the aggregate principal amounts of the related debt in the components of the debt table above. Credit Facilities – On March 17, 2023, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provided for (i) a $ 500 million, 5 -year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a $ 300 million, 3 -year term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), funding under each of which became available in connection with the Separation. On April 3, 2023, the Company borrowed the full amount of the Term Facility. 84 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS On October 3, 2023, the Company exercised a portion of the accordion feature under its existing revolving credit facility to increase the available borrowing capacity from $ 500 million, to $ 800 million. The corresponding amendment established incremental revolving commitments in an aggregate amount of $ 300 million and refreshed the incremental capacity under the Company’s existing credit agreement. The Company made principal prepayments of $1.9 million and $ 50.6 million on the Term Facility during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility allows us to borrow, repay and re-borrow funds from time to time prior to the maturity of the Revolving Facility without any penalty or premium, subject to customary borrowing conditions for facilities of this type and the reimbursement of breakage costs. Borrowings under the Term Facility are prepayable without premium or penalty, subject to customary reimbursement of breakage costs. Interest on loans advanced under the Credit Agreement accrues, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (1) adjusted term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % for the applicable interest period plus a margin ranging from 1.50 % to 2.25 % or (2) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50 % to 1.25 %, in each case, with such margin determined based on the lower of the ratings of our senior, unsecured long-term debt (the “Ratings”) and our total net leverage ratio. We are required to pay a fee on undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility at a rate per annum that ranges from 0.20 % to 0.35 %, based on the lower of the Ratings and our total net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on our and our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of all or substantially all assets, transactions with affiliates, hedging arrangements and amendments to our organizational documents or to certain subordinated debt agreements. As of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our total net leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (provided that, at our election, such maximum ratio may be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for specified periods following our consummation of certain material acquisitions) and our minimum interest coverage ratio must be at least 3.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by us or any of our material subsidiaries being false in any material respect, default under certain other material indebtedness, certain insolvency or receivership events affecting us and our material subsidiaries, certain ERISA events, material judgments and a change in control, in each case, subject to cure periods and thresholds where customary. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2024. 364-Day Credit Agreement - On August 11, 2022, the Company entered a new senior unsecured 364 -day credit facility (the “ 364 -Day Credit Agreement”) under which it borrowed term loans denominated in U.S. dollars (the “Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $ 400 million. Interest on the Term Loans accrues at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate (determined in a customary manner), plus a margin of 0.25 % or 0.50 % that is determined based upon the ratings by S&P and Moody’s of the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt (the “Index Debt Rating”) or (b) an adjusted Term SOFR (determined in a customary manner) for an interest period to be selected by the Company, plus a margin of 1.25 % or 1.50 % that is determined based upon the Index Debt Rating. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company repaid the remaining principal of $ 400 million under the 364 -Day Credit Agreement. Other - As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had open standby letters of credit of $ 32.9 million and $ 24.4 million, respectively. The standby letters of credit were issued pursuant to Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreements. As of December 31, 2024, our total debt to total capitalization ratio was 13.1 %, computed as follows: (in millions) Total debt $ 247.0 Equity 1,641.0 Capitalization $ 1,888.0 Total indebtedness to capitalization 13.1 % Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are to be considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. 85 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 : Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 : Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include over-the-counter derivatives, principally forward foreign exchange contracts, whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on published foreign exchange rates and exchange traded prices, adjusted for other specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 : Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Valuation Technique The carrying value of our financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, commercial paper and accounts payable approximate fair value, without being discounted, due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding. We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations, including market risks related to fluctuation in currency exchange. We use foreign exchange contracts to manage the risk of certain cross-currency business relationships to minimize the impact of currency exchange fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments had a notional value of $ 18.3 million and $ 11.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange contract derivatives that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates and interest rates. Based on these inputs, the derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivative receivable amounts are recorded within “Other current assets” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $ 0.1 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company had no such derivative receivable as of December 31, 2024. Such derivative liability amounts are recorded within “Accrued liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $ 1.1 million and $ 0.1 million as of December 31,2024 and 2023, respectively. 86 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 16 – Restructuring In the fourth quarter of 2022, in response to economic uncertainty, we initiated modest workforce reductions of approximately 160 employees, or about 2 % of our global workforce. We recorded a charge of $ 7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. We completed the program in the fourth quarter of 2024. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we initiated actions to consolidate two manufacturing operations in Europe within our Process Flow Technologies segment. In 2020, we recorded additional severance costs related to the final negotiation with the works council/union at both locations. These actions, taken together, included workforce reductions of approximately 180 employees, or about 2 % of our global workforce. We recorded a restructuring gain of $ 4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. We completed the program in the first quarter of 2024. Restructuring Liability The following table summarizes the accrual balances related to these restructuring charges by program: (in millions) 2022 Repositioning 2019 Repositioning Total Severance: Balance as of December 31, 2023 (a) $ 4.5 $ 0.2 $ 4.7 Utilization ( 4.5 ) ( 0.2 ) ( 4.7 ) Balance as of December 31, 2024 $ — $ — $ — (a) Included within Accrued Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the cumulative restructuring costs, net incurred through December 31, 2024. We do not expect to incur additional facility consolidation costs to complete these actions as of December 31, 2024.
