FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this document and any documents incorporated by reference, including any statements as to operational and financial projections, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our businesses’ or our industries’ actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Such statements may address our plans, our strategies, our prospects, changes and trends in our business and the markets in which we operate under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”) or in other sections of this document. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. Particular risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, include the following: cyclical changes and specific industry events in our markets; changes in anticipated capital investment and maintenance expenditures by customers; changes in economic conditions in relevant global and North American markets, including as a result of geopolitical conflicts, including the armed conflicts in the Middle East and related impacts on shipping in that region, the imposition, or threat of imposition of tariffs, including any new or increased tariffs announced by the U.S. government and any retaliatory tariffs announced in response thereto, and other trade barriers or international trade tensions; availability, limitations or cost increases of raw materials and/or commodities, including as a result of geopolitical conflicts or new or increased tariffs, as well as the potential impact of retaliatory tariffs and other penalties, that cannot be recovered in product pricing; the impact of competition on profit margins and our ability to maintain or increase market share; risks with respect to our contracts with the U.S. government, including the government's ability to terminate contracts prior to completion or failure to appropriate amounts necessary to fund such contracts; inadequate performance by third-party suppliers and subcontractors for outsourced products, components and services and other supply-chain risks; the uncertainty of claims resolution with respect to environmental and other contingent liabilities; the impact of climate change and any legal or regulatory actions taken in response thereto; cyber-security risks; risks with respect to the protection of intellectual property, including with respect to our digitalization initiatives; the impact of overruns, inflation and the incurrence of delays with respect to long-term fixed-price contracts; defects or errors in current or planned products; the impact of pandemics and governmental and other actions taken in response; domestic economic, political, legal, accounting and business developments adversely affecting our business, including regulatory changes; uncertainties with respect to our ability to complete expansions to or the reconfiguration of our manufacturing footprint within the time periods and at costs we anticipate and whether we will realize the anticipated benefits of these activities; uncertainties with respect to our ability to identify acceptable acquisition targets; uncertainties surrounding timing and successful completion of acquisition transactions, including with respect to integrating acquisitions and achieving cost savings, synergistic sales or other benefits from acquisitions; the impact of retained liabilities of disposed businesses; potential labor disputes; and extreme weather conditions and natural and other disasters. These and other risks and uncertainties are further discussed in other sections of this document. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially because of market conditions in our industries or other factors, and forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results. In addition, management’s estimates of future operating results are based on our current complement of businesses, which is subject to change as management selects strategic markets.
All the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the discussions of risks and uncertainties presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including under the heading “Risk Factors,” and any subsequent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in any documents incorporated by reference that describe risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We caution you that these discussions of risks and uncertainties may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment and frequently enter into new businesses and product lines. We cannot predict risk factors related to any future new business or product line, and we cannot assess the impact, if any, of such risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We disclaim any responsibility, except to the extent we are legally required, to update or publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this document.
IMPACTS OF TARIFFS AND OTHER COST INCREASES
In 2025, the U.S. government imposed a series of tariffs on many U.S. trading partners pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (“IEEPA”). On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling invalidating tariffs previously imposed under IEEPA. The ultimate availability, timing, and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs remain highly uncertain and could be subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative developments.
32
Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the U.S. government announced its intention to invoke other laws to collect tariffs and announced new tariffs on imports from many countries, in addition to any existing non-IEEPA tariffs. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on our business. As of March 28, 2026, we have not recognized an asset related to any potential tariff refund. The Company will continue to evaluate new information and will recognize a refund when, and if, the amount can be reasonably estimated and the right to receive the amount becomes realized or realizable in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC 450”), Contingencies.
While we are unable to determine the full extent or duration of the tariff impact on our business and broader end-markets at this time, the future impact could be material. 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 announced 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.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF GEOPOLITICAL CONFLICTS
Ongoing geopolitical conflicts, including the armed conflicts in the Middle East, and governmental actions implemented in response to these conflicts, did not have a significant adverse impact on our operating results during the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025. We are monitoring the availability of certain raw materials that are (i) supplied by businesses in the countries impacted by these conflicts and (ii) impacted by closures or disturbances to critical shipping routes. At this time, we do not expect the potential direct impact to be material to our operating results. These conflicts have created significant additional demand for certain products within our communication technologies business. The longer-term impact of these global events on our business is currently unknown due to the uncertainty around their duration and broader impact.

OVERVIEW OF OPERATING RESULTS
Revenues for the three months ended March 28, 2026 totaled $566.8, compared to $482.6 during the respective period in 2025. The increase in revenues during the three months ended March 28, 2026, compared to the respective prior-year period, was due primarily to (i) inorganic revenue growth resulting from the Sigma & Omega, Thermolec, and Crawford acquisitions within the HVAC reportable segment and the KTS acquisition within the Detection and Measurement reportable segment, and (ii) organic revenue growth within the HVAC and Detection and Measurement reportable segments.
During the three months ended March 28, 2026, we generated operating income of $ 87.7 , compared to $66.6 for the r espective period in 2025.
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
The unaudited information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. We establish actual interim closing dates using a fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the first calendar quarter, with the second and third quarters being 91 days in length. Our fourth quarter ends on December 31. The interim closing dates for the first, second and third quarters of 2026 are March 28, June 27, and September 26, compared to the respective March 29, June 28, and September 27 dates of 2025. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2026 and will have one more day in the fourth quarter of 2026 than in the respective 2025 periods. It is not practicable to estimate the impact of the one less day on our consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 28, 2026, when compared to the consolidated operating results for the 2025 respective period.
Cyclicality of End Markets, Seasonality and Competition — The financial results of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries in which they operate and end markets in which they serve. In addition, certain of our businesses have seasonal fluctuations. For example, our heating businesses tend to be stronger in the third and fourth quarters, as customer buying habits are driven largely by seasonal weather patterns. In aggregate, our businesses tend to be stronger in the second half of the year.
Although our businesses operate in highly competitive markets, our competitive position cannot be determined accurately in the aggregate or by segment since none of our competitors offer all the same product lines or serve all the same markets as we do. In addition, specific reliable comparative figures are not available for many of our competitors. In most product groups, competition comes from numerous concerns, both large and small. The principal methods of competition are service, product performance, technical innovation and price. These methods vary with the type of product sold. We believe we compete effectively on the basis of each of these factors.

_________________________________
* Not meaningful for comparison purposes.
Revenues — The increase in revenues f or the three months ended March 28, 2026 , compared to the respective period in 2025, was due primarily to (i) inorganic revenue growth resulting from the Sigma & Omega, Thermolec, and Crawford acquisitions within the HVAC reportable segment and the KTS acquisition within the Detection and Measurement reportable segment, and (ii) organic revenue growth within the HVAC and Detection and Measurement reportable segments.
See “Results of Reportable Segments” for additional details.
Gross Profit — For the three months ended March 28, 2026, the increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenues, compared to the respective period in 2025, was due primarily to (i) favorable product mix within the Detection and Measurement reportable segment, inclusive of higher software-as-a-service revenue within our transportation systems business which has higher than typical margins, and (ii) the impact of the organic and inorganic revenue growth mentioned above, partially offset by lower margins within our HVAC reportable segment driven by start-up costs and related inefficiencies associated with our capacity expansion initiatives.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expense — For the three mont hs ended March 28, 2026, the increase in SG&A expense, compared to the respective period in 2025, was due primarily to (i) increases in personnel costs due to annual merit increases and growth-related headcount additions, (ii) incremental SG&A resulting from the acquisitions of Sigma & Omega, Thermolec, Crawford and KTS of $1.9, and (iii) higher travel and advertising costs supporting our growth of $1.2, partially offset by lower acquisition and integration-related costs of $1.1.
Selling, General and Administrative — Intangible Amortiz ation — For the three months ended March 28, 2026, the increase in intangible asset amortization expense, compared to the respective period in 2025, was primarily related to incremental amortization associated with (i) customer backlog from the Crawford acquisition and (ii) other intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Sigma & Omega, Thermolec, Crawford and a full quarter's amortization related to the KTS acquisition.
Special Charges, net — Special charges, net for the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 related primarily t o severance costs associated with restructuring actions. See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.
35
Other Income (Expense), net — Other expense, net, for the three months ended March 28, 2026 was composed primarily of pension and postretirement expense of $1.3, environmental remediation charges of $1.2, expense derived from company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies of $0.4, and foreign currency transaction losses of $0.1.
Other income, net, for the three months ended March 29, 2025 was composed primarily of a gain of $4.5 related to a change in the net asset value of our equity security in Filtran and $1.7 o f income derived from COLI policies, partially offset by environmental remediation charges of $1.2, pension and postretirement expense of $1.4 (including net settlement and actuarial losses of $0.8), foreign currency transaction losses of $0.5, and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment of $0.4.
Interest Expense, net — Interest expense, net, includes both interest expense and interest incom e. T he decrease in interest expense, net, during the three months ended March 28, 2026, compared to the respective period in 2025, was the result of lower average debt balances resulting from the repayment in the third quarter of 2025 of borrowings then-outstanding under our revolving credit facility from a portion of the net proceeds of the underwritten public offering of our common stock completed in that quarter. This was partially offset by borrowings associated with the Crawford United acquisition. Refer to Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Income Tax Provision — For the three months ended March 28, 2026, we recorded an income tax provision of $13.0 on $77.4 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 16.8%. This compares to an income tax provision for the three months ended March 29, 2025 of $6.2 on $57.9 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 10.7%. The most significant item impacting the income tax provision for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 was $7.0 and $8.5, respectively, of excess tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation awards that vested and/or were exercised during the periods.
RESULTS OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. These results exclude the operating results of discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of our reportable segments.
HVAC Reportable Segment

% of revenues 22.5 % 22.9 %
Components of revenue increase:
Organic 9.6
Foreign currency 0.9
Acquisitions 11.5
Net revenue increase 22.0
Revenues — For the three months ended March 28, 2026, the increase in r evenues, compared to the respective period in 2025, was due primarily t o inorganic revenue growth resulting from the Sigma & Omega, Thermolec, and Crawford acquisitions and organic revenue growth. The organic revenue growth was due primarily to (i) higher volumes of cooling products primarily associated with increased data center demand and higher throughput resulting from increased capacity and (ii) higher volumes of heating products.
Income — For the three months ended March 28, 2026, the increase in income, compared to the respective period in 2025, was primarily attributable to the revenue growth mentioned above. The decline in margin, compared to the respective period in 2025, was due primarily to incremental start-up costs and related inefficiencies associated with our capacity expansion initiatives, partially offset by leverage on fixed costs, particularly within SG&A expenses, driven by the higher volumes mentioned above.
Backlog — The segment had backlog of $755.3 and $451.3 as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively. Backlog associated with the Crawford, Thermolec, and Sigma & Omega acquisitions totaled $73.1, $2.2, and $55.0, respectively, as of March 28, 2026.

37
Operating Activities — The increase in cash flows from operating activities during the three months ended March 28, 2026, compared to the respective period in 2025, was due primarily to amounts paid into an escrow account during the first quarter of 2025 in connection with the KTS acquisition related to future service obligations of certain employees of $ 46.5, as well as the increase in income, exclusive of non-cash items, generated from continuing operations during the three months ended March 28, 2026. This increase was partially offset by growth-related increases to working capital, inclusive of growth in inventory to support our higher backlog.
Investing Activities — Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 28, 2026 were comprised primarily of net cash utilized in the acquisitions of Thermolec and Crawford of $439.6 and capital expenditures of $18.5 (inclusive of $10.8 related to capacity expansions for our engineered air movement and handling and cooling products businesses within the HVAC reportable segment), partially offset by net proceeds from COLI policies of $3.1.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2025 were comprised primarily of net cash utilized in acquisitions, including KTS, of $304.1 and capital expenditures of $5.5, partially offset by net proceeds from COLI policies of $3.0.
Financing Activities — Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 28, 2026 were comprised o f net borrowings under our credit facilities and trade receivables financing arrangement of $150.0 and $22.0, respectively, primarily in connection with the Crawford acquisition and net borrowings under our other various debt instruments of $0.2. These net borrowings were partially offset by minimum tax withholdings paid on behalf of employees related to long-term incentive awards, net of proceeds from options exercised, of $14.6.
Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2025 were comprised of net borrowings under our credit facilities and trade receivables financing arrangement of $295.0 and $50.0, respectively, primarily in connection with the KTS acquisition and net borrowings under our other various debt instruments of $0.5. T hese net borrowings were partially offset by minimum tax withholdings paid on behalf of employees related to long-term incentive awards, net of proceeds from options exercised, of $9.8.
Discontinued Operations — Cash flows from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 28, 2026 relate primarily to proceeds from the sale of the Non-core businesses of $59.2, net of cash and debt contributed of $1.4 and $2.2, respectively, and cash generated from the Non-core businesses during the period of ownership.
Cash flows used in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 29, 2025 related primarily to disbursements for costs incurred to support our wound-down DBT Technologies (PTY) LTD (“DBT”) subsidiary through actions associated with the liquidation of a subcontractor.
Change in Cash and Equivalents due to Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rate s — Changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a significant impact on our cash and equivalents during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025.

__________________________
(1) The revolving credit facility extends through September 9, 2030 under the terms of the agreement governing our senior credit facilities and is primarily used to provide liquidity for funding acquisitions, including related fees and expenses, and was utilized as a partial funding mechanism for the Crawford acquisition.
(2) The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments equal to 0.625% of the initial term loan balance of $500.0, beginning in December 2026 and in the first three quarters of 2027, and 1.25% during the fourth quarter of 2027, and all quarters of 2028 and 2029, and the first two quarters of 2030. The remaining balances are payable in full on September 9, 2030. Balances are net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.8 and $0.9 at March 28, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
38
(3) Under this arrangement, we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $100.0, as available. Borrowings under this arrangement are collateralized by eligible trade receivables of certain of our businesses. At March 28, 2026, we had $72.3 of available borrowing capacity under this facility after giving effect to outstanding borrowings of $22.0.
(4) Primarily includes balances under a purchase card program of $1.6 and $1.4 and finance lease obligations of $1.2 and $1.1 at March 28, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The purchase card program allows for payment beyond the normal payment terms for goods and services acquired under the program. As this arrangement extends the payment of these purchases beyond their normal payment terms through third-party lending institutions, we have classified these amounts as short-term debt.
(5) “Other” includes the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the term loan.
At March 28, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants of the agreement governing our senior credit facilities.
Availability — At March 28, 2026, we had $1,347.3 of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, after giving effect to borrowings under the domestic revolving loan facility of $150.0 and $2.7 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, at March 28, 2026, we had $17.1 of available issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facilities after giving effect to $7.9 reserved for outstanding letters of credit.
Financing instruments may be used from time to time including, but not limited to, public and private debt and equity offerings, operating leases, finance leases and securitizations. We expect that we will continue to access these markets as appropriate to maintain liquidity and to provide sources of funds for general corporate purposes, acquisitions or to refinance existing debt.
We have investments in COLI policies, which are recorded at their cash surrender value of $59.9 and $60.3 at March 28, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We have the ability to borrow against a portion of our investment in the COLI policies as an additional source of liquidity. There were no amounts borrowed a t March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2025. Any amounts borrowed would incur interest at a rate of 5.3%. At March 28, 2026, we had capacity to borrow approximately $34.0 against these policies. See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and equivalents, trade accounts receivable, COLI policies, and foreign currency forward contracts. These financial instruments, other than trade accounts receivable, are placed with high-quality financial institutions throughout the world. We periodically evaluate the credit standing of these financial institutions.
We maintain cash levels in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. We have not experienced, and believe we are not exposed to, significant risk of loss in these accounts.
We have credit loss exposure in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the above financial instruments, but have no other off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. We anticipate, however, that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but we do monitor the credit standing of counterparties.
Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are due to selling to customers in a particular industry. Credit risks are mitigated by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions and obtaining collateral, advance payments, or other security when appropriate. No one customer, or group of customers that to our knowledge are under common control, accounted for more than 10 % of our revenues for any period presented.
Other Matters
Contractual Obligations — Other than the borrowings under our revolving loan facility in connection with the Crawford United acquisition discussed above, there have been no material changes in the amounts of our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our total net liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits including interest were $6.9 as of March 28, 2026.
Contingencies and Other Matters — Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business have been asserted or are pending against us or certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, “claims”). These claims relate to litigation matters (e.g., contracts, intellectual property, and competitive claims), environmental matters, product liability matters, and other risk management matters (e.g., general liability, automobile, and workers’ compensation claims). Additionally, we may become subject to other claims of which we are currently unaware, which may be significant, or the claims of which we are aware may result in our incurring significantly greater loss than we anticipate. We accrue for these contingencies when we believe a liability is probable and can be reasonably estimated. As events change and resolutions occur,

these accruals may be adjusted and could differ materially from amounts originally estimated. See Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of contingencies and other matters.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law for any personal liability in connection with their employment or service with us. While we maintain insurance for this type of liability, the liability could exceed the amount of the insurance coverage.
In addition, you should read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Other Matters” herein, and “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K , as well as similar sections in any future filings for an understanding of the risks, uncertainties, and trends facing our businesses.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties are discussed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K , the discussion within which is incorporated herein by reference . We have affected no material change in either our critical accounting policies or use of estimates since the filing of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
