MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our sales depend heavily on industries that are cyclical in nature or are subject to market conditions which may cause customer demand for our products to be volatile and unpredictable.

Demand in these industries is affected by fluctuations in domestic and international economic conditions, as well as currency fluctuations, commodity costs, and a variety of other factors.

As we exited 2021 and through the first nine months of 2022, we have experienced supply chain disruptions impacting timely access to certain components and raw materials, as well as significant inflationary pressure across most businesses;

in response, we have initiated pricing actions to ensure that we cover the higher costs and protect our margin profile.

For 2022, we expect a total year-over-year sales decline of approximately 1% to 2%, driven by a 4% unfavorable impact from the divestiture of Crane Supply and a 3% impact from unfavorable foreign exchange, partially offset by approximately 5% to 6% core growth.

On a year-to-date basis through September 30 2022, stronger pricing has been the primary contributor to our core growth across most businesses.

We continue to expect higher pricing on a full-year basis to approximately offset the impact of inflation.

From a total earnings point of view, we expect a substantial decrease in operating profit driven primarily by the loss on divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities, higher transaction costs related to the separation, lost earnings from the Crane Supply divestiture, and unfavorable mix, partially offset by the impact of core growth, net of inflation and productivity benefits.

Aerospace & Electronics

In 2022, we expect Aerospace & Electronics core sales to increase in the mid-single digit range as compared to 2021.

We expect a substantial improvement in our commercial OEM business driven by higher aircraft build rates, and we expect a substantial improvement in our commercial aftermarket business given continued recovery in airline flight hours following two years of depressed demand due to the impacts of COVID-19.

We expect our defense business to decline given material availability challenges, and difficult comparisons to recent years where these markets exhibited very strong growth.

We expect segment operating profit to increase in the low double-digit range as compared to 2021 driven primarily by price and strong productivity, partially offset by unfavorable mix.

Process Flow Technologies

In 2022, we expect Process Flow Technologies sales to decrease approximately 10%, driven by a 12% unfavorable impact from the divestiture of Crane Supply and a low- to mid-single digit impact from unfavorable foreign exchange, partially offset by mid-single digit core growth.

We expect stronger pricing to offset inflationary pressures.

We expect Process Valves and Related Products sales to be approximately flat compared to 2021, with mid-single digit core sales growth approximately offset by a mid-single digit impact from unfavorable foreign exchange.

We expect Commercial Valves sales to decline substantially driven primarily by the impact of the Crane Supply divestiture, and to a lesser extent, the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange and slightly weaker demand in Europe.

We expect Pumps and Systems sales to increase in the high-single digit range as compared to 2021, driven by strong demand across municipal and non-residential U.S.

We expect a mid-single digit decline in the segment’s operating profit as compared to 2021, driven primarily by the impact of the Crane Supply divestiture and higher repositioning costs, largely offset by core growth, inclusive of higher pricing, as well as strong productivity.

Payment & Merchandising Technologies

In 2022, we expect Payment & Merchandising Technologies sales to increase in the low-single digit range as compared to 2021, driven by mid-single digit core sales growth, partially offset by a low- to mid-single digit impact from unfavorable foreign exchange.

Higher pricing is expected to offset higher inflation.

At Crane Payment Innovations, we expect core sales growth in the mid-teens range, driven by strength across most vertical markets, together with higher pricing.

At Crane Currency, we expect core sales to decline in the high-single digit to the low-double digit range as compared to 2021 due to lower expected sales to international customers, reflecting challenging comparisons to a record year of project activity and growth in 2021.

We expect the segment’s operating profit to be modestly higher compared to 2021, with the impact of core growth inclusive of higher prices, together with strong productivity, to be approximately offset by inflationary pressures and unfavorable sales mix.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Engineered Materials

In 2022, we expect Engineered Materials sales to increase in the low-double digit range as compared to 2021, driven by core growth which includes notable pricing gains to offset the impact of inflation.

We expect the core growth to be driven primarily by higher sales to recreational vehicle and building product customers.

We expect the segment’s operating profit to increase in the low-teens range driven primarily by higher pricing.

Holding Company Reorganization

On May 16, 2022, Crane Co., a Delaware corporation (“Crane Co.”), completed its previously announced reorganization merger pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 28, 2022 (the “Reorganization Agreement”), by and among Crane Co., Crane Holdings, Co., a Delaware corporation (“Crane Holdings”), and Crane Transaction Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and, as of immediately prior to the consummation of such merger, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Holdings (“Merger Sub”).

The Reorganization Agreement provided for the merger of Crane Co.

and Merger Sub, with Crane Co.

surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Holdings (the “Reorganization Merger”).

Following the Reorganization Merger, on May 16, 2022, Crane Co.

(which, as a result of the Reorganization Merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Holdings) converted from a Delaware corporation into a Delaware limited liability company named “Crane LLC” (such conversion, together with the Reorganization Merger, the “Reorganization”).

Following the Reorganization, substantially all of the assets of Crane LLC were distributed, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to, and related liabilities of Crane LLC were assumed by, Crane Holdings.

On May 17, 2022, Crane LLC converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation named “Crane Co.” Subsequently, on May 26, 2022, Crane Co.

filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective upon filing, pursuant to which the Company officially changed its name from “Crane Co.” to “Redco Corporation.” The “Crane Co.” name has been reserved for future use by Crane Holdings.

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”), a 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.

Concurrent with the completion of the Redco Sale, Redco Buyer contributed $83 million in cash to Redco.

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.

While indemnification by each of Crane Company and Redco Buyer to the other party for breach of representations and warranties is capped at $83 million, in each case, based on the terms and subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Redco Purchase Agreement, liability of each of Crane Company and Redco Buyer for breaches of covenants and obligations and for indemnified liabilities is generally uncapped.

Such covenants and obligations include that Redco has agreed to indemnify Crane Company and its affiliates for all claims arising out of asbestos liabilities, and Crane Company has agreed to indemnify Redco and its affiliates for all other historical liabilities of Redco, which include certain potential environmental liabilities.

Crane Holdings, Co.

has guaranteed the full payment and performance of Crane Company’s indemnification obligations under the Redco Purchase Agreement.

Upon consummation of the previously announced separation transaction pursuant to which, among other things, all outstanding shares of Crane Company will be distributed to Crane Holdings, Co.’s stockholders, Crane Holdings, Co.

will be released from its guarantee of Crane Company’s indemnification obligations under the Redco Purchase Agreement.

Net sales related to operations outside the United States were 29.3% and 38.1% of total net sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

The year-over-year change in sales included:

• an increase in core sales of $17.2 million, or 1.9%, which was primarily comprised of higher pricing;

• an increase in core sales of $54.2 million, or 6.2%, which was driven primarily by higher pricing;

• unfavorable foreign currency translation of $21.0 million, or 2.4%;

• a decrease in sales of $59.5 million, or 6.7%, primarily related to the sale of Crane Supply.

• a decrease in sales related to the May 2022 divestiture of Crane Supply of $61.7 million, or 7.1%.

Cost of sales decreased by $44.9 million, or 8.5%, to $481.3 million in 2023.

The decrease is primarily related to the sale of Crane Supply of $43.2 million, or 7.8%, and favorable foreign currency translation of $21.9 million, or 3.9%.

Selling general and administrative expenses increased by $5.6 million, or 2.9%, to $198.3 million in 2022 primarily related to an $10.9 million, or 5.7%, increase in transaction related expenses supporting the planned Separation, partially offset by favorable foreign currency translation of $6.8 million, or 3.5%.

Operating profit decreased by $176.0 million, to a $31.2 million operating loss in 2022.

The decrease in operating profit is primarily related to the loss on divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities of $162.4 million, and the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $11.3 million.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed the divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities and recorded a loss of $162.4M.

Based on existing U.S.

income tax guidance, the Company did not record an income tax benefit related to this transaction.

However, the Company released a valuation allowance previously recorded against certain state deferred tax assets based on available evidence indicating it to be more likely than not the Company will realize a state income tax benefit for certain non-asbestos related future tax deductions.

Specifically, the Company considered the impact of the lack of future asbestos settlement and defense payments on state taxable income, projected future state taxable income exclusive of reversing deferred taxes, the Company’s U.S.

business resulting net deferred tax liability position after the asbestos-related transaction, and the lack of separate state income tax filings.

The decrease is primarily related to the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $46.0 million, or 8.7%, strong productivity gains of $17.2 million, or 3.3%, favorable foreign currency translation of $12.0 million, or 2.3%, the impact of lower volumes of $9.6 million, or 1.8%, partially offset by unfavorable mix of $23.9 million, or 4.5%, and an increase in material, labor and other manufacturing costs of $17.6 million, or 3.3%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $11.1 million, or 5.6%, to $209.4 million in 2023 primarily related to a $19.9 million, or 10.0%, increase in administrative expenses, including transaction related expenses of $11.7 million, or 5.9%, partially offset by the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $6.0 million, or 3.0%, and favorable foreign currency translation of $4.0 million, or 2.0%.

Operating profit increased by $5.2 million, or 3.5%, to $152.2 million in 2023.

The increase primarily reflected higher pricing net of inflation, and productivity, of $43.9 million, or 29.9%, partially offset by unfavorable mix of $23.9 million, or 16.3%, the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $9.7 million, or 6.6%, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $5.1 million, or 3.5%.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is lower than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to a greater benefit related to share-based compensation.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is equal to the statutory U.S.

federal tax rate of 21%.

The effective tax rate is the result of permanent increases and decreases that net against each other and offset.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The combination of a loss on the asbestos-related transaction and the lack of a related tax benefit resulted in the Company’s negative tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

This negative tax rate represents a tax expense recorded against a book loss.

In this context, the Company’s tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, is higher than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to the absence of a tax benefit recorded against the asbestos-related transaction as well as higher non-U.S.

taxes, partially offset by the aforementioned release of valuation allowance and the statutory U.S.

deduction related to our non-U.S.

subsidiaries’ income.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is higher than the statutory U.S.

federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the absence of a tax benefit recorded against the asbestos-related transaction, earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the United States, expenses that are statutorily non-deductible for income tax purposes and U.S.

state taxes, partially offset by the aforementioned release of valuation allowance, excess share-based compensation benefits, tax credit utilization, and the statutory U.S.

deduction related to our non-U.S.

subsidiaries’ income.

The $231.7 million decrease was primarily driven by lower net income before allocation to noncontrolling interests of $175.9 million driven by the loss on the divestiture of asbestos-related assets and liabilities, and a $52.9 million year-over-year unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation adjustments, primarily related to the British pound and euro.

Net asbestos-related payments for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 were $29.3 million and $29.6 million, respectively.

As a result of the Redco sale, the Company no longer has any obligation with respect to pending and future asbestos-related claims.

Financing Activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of dividend payments to shareholders, share repurchases and repayments of indebtedness, proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and commercial paper and proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

Cash provided by financing activities was $119.3 million during the first nine months of 2022, compared to cash used for financing activities of $440.8 million in the comparable period of 2021.

The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by the $399.4 million in net borrowings from the 364-Day Credit Agreement, compared to a $348.1 million repayment of the outstanding amount under the 364-Day Credit Agreement in the first nine months of 2021.

This was partially offset by the $203.7 million of share repurchases in the first nine months of 2022.

Cash used for financing activities was $67.8 million during the first three months of 2023 compared to $97.8 million in the comparable period of 2022.
