IMPACTS OF TARIFFS AND OTHER COST INCREASES

On April 2, 2025, the U.S.

government announced, and subsequently amended, significant additional tariffs on goods imported to the U.S.

In response, certain governments, including China and Canada, announced significant retaliatory tariffs on goods imported from the U.S.

We continue to analyze the impact of these tariffs, and any reciprocal tariffs, on our business.

While we do not expect these new tariffs to have a direct material impact on our results of operations in fiscal year 2025, we are unable to determine the full extent or duration at this time, as well as the impact of such tariffs on general economic conditions in relevant global and North American markets.

We believe that our diverse set of businesses, along with our strong balance sheet and available liquidity, position us well to manage the direct adverse impacts of the tariffs.

We have taken actions to manage near-term costs and cash flows, and implemented actions to address potential material sourcing challenges we could

face over the near-term.

OVERVIEW OF OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues for the three months ended March 29, 2025 totaled $482.6, compared to $465.2 during the respective period in 2024.

The increase in revenues during the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to the respective prior-year period, was due primarily to (i) inorganic revenue growth resulting from the Ingénia and KTS acquisitions (within the HVAC and Detection and Measurement reportable segments, respectively) and (ii) organic revenue growth within the HVAC reportable segment, partially offset by an organic revenue decline within the Detection and Measurement reportable segment.

The organic revenue growth within the HVAC reportable segment was due primarily to higher volumes of heating products associated with unseasonably warm winter conditions prevalent in the relevant end markets during the first quarter of 2024.

The organic revenue decline within the Detection and Measurement reportable segment was due primarily to lower volumes within (i) our aids to navigation project business, and (ii) our inspection and rehabilitation business due primarily to the timing of shipments of inspection products.

These declines were partially offset by higher project volumes within our communication technologies business .

Volumes within our project businesses, primarily within our communication technologies, aids to navigation, and transportation systems businesses, can vary from period to period based on the timing of project execution.

The increase in income for our HVAC reportable segment was primarily due to the revenue growth mentioned above.

The increase in income for our Detection and Measurement reportable segment was due primarily to (i) favorable product mix, primarily within our communication technologies business, and (ii) the acquisition of KTS.

These increases were partially offset by the impact of the organic revenue decline mentioned above.

Cash flows used in operating activities associated with continuing operations totaled $10.4 for the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to cash flows from operating activities of $10.7 during the three months ended March 30, 2024.

decrease in cash flows from operating activities was due primarily to amounts paid into an escrow account in connection with the KTS acquisition related to future service obligations of certain employees totaling $ 46.5 as required by the acquisition agreement, partially offset by (i) the increase in income, exclusive of the non-cash expenses incurred during the respective periods, discussed above and (ii) a payment, during the three months ended March 28, 2024, related to the resolution of a dispute with a former representative at one of our businesses within the Detection and Measurement reportable segment of $9.0.

Revenues for the three months ended June 28, 2025 totaled $552.4, compared to $501.3 during the respective period in 2024.

The increase in revenues, compared to the respective period in 2024, was due primarily to (i) inorganic revenue growth resulting from the KTS acquisition within the Detection and Measurement reportable segment and the Sigma & Omega acquisition within the HVAC reportable segment, and (ii) organic revenue growth within the Detection and Measurement reportable segment and, to a lesser extent, the HVAC reportable segment.
