Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Tennant Company ("the Company", "we", "us", or "our") is a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions that help create a cleaner, safer, healthier world. The Company is committed to creating and commercializing breakthrough, sustainable cleaning innovations to enhance its broad suite of products, including floor maintenance and cleaning equipment, detergent-free and other sustainable cleaning technologies, aftermarket parts and consumables, equipment maintenance and repair service, and asset management solutions. Our products are used in many types of environments, including factories and warehouses, distribution centers, office buildings, public venues such as arenas and stadiums, schools and universities, hospitals and clinics, and more. Customers include contract cleaners to whom organizations outsource facilities maintenance as well as businesses that perform facilities maintenance themselves. The Company reaches these customers through the industry's largest direct sales and service organization and through a strong and well-supported network of authorized distributors worldwide. Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for interim reporting. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Reclassification – Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation (e.g. payroll tax accruals are now classified from Employee Compensation and Benefits to Other Current Liabilities). These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations, total assets, total liabilities or stockholders' equity. 2. Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Segment Reporting In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which amends the existing segment reporting guidance (ASC Topic 280 — Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”)) to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. We have adopted the new standard effective December 31, 2024. While the adoption has no impact on our consolidated financial statements, it has resulted in incremental disclosures within the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 17, Segment Reporting, for the inclusion of the new required disclosures. 9 Table of Contents 3 . Revenue Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables illustrate the disaggregation of revenue by geographic area, groups of similar products and services and sales channels: Net sales by geographic area Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Americas $ 197.3 $ 215.6 Europe, Middle East and Africa 76.0 76.8 Asia Pacific 16.7 18.6 Total $ 290.0 $ 311.0 Net sales are attributed to each geographic area based on the end-user country and are net of intercompany sales. Net sales by groups of similar products and services Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Equipment $ 172.8 $ 189.8 Parts and consumables 67.3 70.6 Service and other 49.9 50.6 Total $ 290.0 $ 311.0 Net sales by sales channel Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Sales direct to consumer $ 205.1 $ 221.4 Sales to distributors 84.9 89.6 Total $ 290.0 $ 311.0 Contract Liabilities Sales Returns The right of return may exist explicitly or implicitly with our customers. When the right of return exists, we adjust the transaction price for the estimated effect of returns. We estimate the expected returns using the expected value method by assessing historical sales levels and the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales and projecting this experience into the future. 10 Table of Contents Sales Incentives Our sales contracts may contain various customer incentives, such as volume-based rebates or other promotions. We reduce the transaction price for certain customer programs and incentive offerings that represent variable consideration. Sales incentives given to our customers are recorded using the most likely amount approach for estimating the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. We forecast the most likely amount of the incentive to be paid at the time of sale, update this forecast quarterly, and adjust the transaction price accordingly to reflect the new amount of incentives expected to be earned by the customer. A majority of our customer incentives are settled within one year. We record our accruals for volume-based rebates and other promotions in other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The change in our sales incentive accrual balance was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Beginning balance $ 16.1 $ 21.2 Additions to sales incentive accrual 5.7 6.3 Contract payments ( 7.9 ) ( 11.3 ) Foreign currency fluctuations ( 0.3 ) ( 0.4 ) Ending balance $ 13.6 $ 15.8 Deferred Revenue We sell separately priced prepaid contracts to our customers where we receive payment at the inception of the contract and defer recognition of the consideration received because we have to satisfy future performance obligations. Our deferred revenue balance includes autonomous subscription sales and prepaid maintenance contracts on our machines ranging from 12 months to 60 months. In circumstances where prepaid contracts are bundled with machines, we use an observable price to determine stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. The change in the deferred revenue balance was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Beginning balance $ 20.6 $ 10.3 Increase in deferred revenue representing our obligation to satisfy future performance obligations 5.7 5.0 Decrease in deferred revenue for amounts recognized in net sales for satisfied performance obligations ( 3.9 ) ( 4.3 ) Foreign currency fluctuations 0.1 ( 0.1 ) Ending balance $ 22.5 $ 10.9 11 Table of Contents As of March 31, 2025, $ 10.8 million and $ 11.7 million of deferred revenue was reported in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Of these amounts, we expect to recognize the following approximate amounts in net sales in the following periods: Remaining 2025 $ 8.8 2026 5.7 2027 4.1 2028 2.3 2029 1.5 Thereafter 0.1 Total $ 22.5 As of December 31, 2024, $ 9.8 million and $ 10.8 million of deferred revenue was reported in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. 4. Management Actions Restructuring Actions During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred restructuring expenses as part of our ongoing global reorganization efforts. The following pre-tax restructuring charges were included in selling and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income. Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Severance-related costs $ 1.5 $ — Total pre-tax restructuring costs $ 1.5 $ — Our restructuring actions represent the continued execution of a multi-year enterprise strategy to drive increased productivity throughout our operations. The charges in 2025 impacted all operating segments and were related to a global workforce realignment to support our key strategic initiatives. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balances for severance-related costs is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Beginning balance $ 8.6 $ 2.4 New charges 1.7 — Cash payments ( 3.0 ) ( 0.4 ) Foreign currency fluctuations 0.2 ( 0.1 ) Adjustments to accrual ( 0.2 ) — Ending balance $ 7.3 $ 1.9 5. Acquisitions On February 29, 2024, we acquired 100 % of M&F Management and Financing GmbH ("M&F"), the parent company of TCS EMEA GmbH ("TCS"), as we seek to accelerate growth in the EMEA region. Based in Austria, TCS was Tennant Company's largest Central and Eastern Europe distributor. The acquisition gives Tennant a knowledgeable and experienced sales force and an established direct channel into countries including Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia, along with an expanded network in Austria, 12 Table of Contents Switzerland, Poland, and other nations in the region, as well as the Middle East and Africa. The pro forma impact of this acquisition is immaterial to our operations. The purchase price was allocated based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. The following table summarizes the fair value measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Components of purchase price: Cash paid $ 31.0 Settlement of preexisting transactions 3.9 Total purchase price 34.9 ASSETS Cash 5.4 Other current assets 8.9 Intangible assets subject to amortization Customer lists 13.2 Backlog 0.6 Other assets 5.7 Total identifiable assets acquired 33.8 LIABILITIES Current liabilities ( 1.6 ) Long-term liabilities ( 6.7 ) Total identifiable liabilities assumed ( 8.3 ) Net assets acquired 25.5 Goodwill $ 9.4 Included in the total purchase price is cash paid of $ 31.0 million and the settlement of $ 3.9 million of preexisting transactions. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The useful lives of the acquired intangible assets is 3 months and 10 years for backlog and customer lists, respectively, and are being amortized on a straight-line basis. 13 Table of Contents 6. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consisted of the following: March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Inventories carried at LIFO: Finished goods (a) $ 81.0 $ 85.4 Raw materials and work-in-process 36.9 38.4 Excess of FIFO over LIFO cost (b) ( 49.7 ) ( 50.4 ) Total LIFO inventories $ 68.2 $ 73.4 Inventories carried at FIFO: Finished goods (a) $ 59.9 $ 53.2 Raw materials and work-in-process 63.2 57.2 Total FIFO inventories $ 123.1 $ 110.4 Total inventories $ 191.3 $ 183.8 (a) Finished goods include machines, parts and consumables and component parts that are used in our products. (b) The difference between replacement cost and the stated LIFO inventory value is not materially different from the reserve for the LIFO valuation method. 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were as follows: Goodwill Accumulated Impairment Losses Total Balance as of December 31, 2024 $ 218.1 $ ( 32.5 ) $ 185.6 Foreign currency fluctuations 8.3 ( 1.1 ) 7.2 Balance as of March 31, 2025 $ 226.4 $ ( 33.6 ) $ 192.8 The balances of acquired intangible assets, excluding goodwill, were as follows: Customer Lists Trade Names Technology Total Balance as of March 31, 2025 Original cost $ 160.8 $ 28.7 $ 15.6 $ 205.1 Accumulated amortization ( 111.8 ) ( 22.4 ) ( 13.6 ) ( 147.8 ) Carrying value $ 49.0 $ 6.3 $ 2.0 $ 57.3 Weighted average original life (in years) 15 11 11 Balance as of December 31, 2024 Original cost $ 154.6 $ 27.6 $ 15.2 $ 197.4 Accumulated amortization ( 104.9 ) ( 20.8 ) ( 13.0 ) ( 138.7 ) Carrying value $ 49.7 $ 6.8 $ 2.2 $ 58.7 Weighted average original life (in years) 15 11 11 Amortization expense on intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $ 3.4 million and $ 3.9 million, respectively. 14 Table of Contents Estimated aggregate amortization expense based on the current carrying value of amortizable intangible assets for each of the five succeeding years and thereafter is as follows: Remaining 2025 $ 9.6 2026 11.8 2027 8.6 2028 6.8 2029 6.1 Thereafter 14.4 Total $ 57.3 8. Debt On April 5, 2021, we and certain of our foreign subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”). The 2021 Credit Agreement provides us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries access to a senior secured credit facility until April 3, 2026, consisting of a term loan facility in an amount up to $ 100.0 million and a revolving facility in an amount up to $ 450.0 million with an option to expand the credit facility by up to $ 275.0 million, with the consent of the lenders willing to provide additional borrowings in the form of increases to their revolving facility commitment or funding of incremental term loans. Borrowings may be denominated in U.S. dollars or certain other currencies. On November 10, 2022, we amended the 2021 Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") to update the benchmark provisions to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR (as defined in the Amendment) as the reference rate for purposes of calculating interest under the 2021 Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Amendment) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % per annum, but in any case, not less than 0 %, plus an additional spread of 1.10 % to 1.70 %, depending on our leverage ratio, or (b) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Amendment), which is the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 % and (iii) the adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one month period, but in any case, not less than 1.0 %, plus, in any such case, 1.0 %, plus an additional spread of 0.10 % to 0.70 %, depending on our leverage ratio. All other material terms included in the 2021 Credit Agreement remain unchanged as a result of the Amendment. On August 7, 2024, we and certain of our foreign subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2024 Credit Agreement"), which amends and restates the 2021 Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment. The 2024 Credit Agreement provides us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries access to a senior secured credit facility until August 7, 2029, consisting of a revolving facility in an amount up to $ 650.0 million, with an option to expand the revolving facility or obtain incremental term loans by up to $ 325.0 million, with the consent of the lenders willing to provide additional borrowings in the form of increases to their revolving facility commitment or funding of incremental term loans. Borrowings may be denominated in U.S. dollars or certain other currencies. The fee for undrawn committed funds under the revolving facility of the 2024 Credit Agreement ranges from an annual rate of 0.15 % to 0.30 %, depending on our leverage ratio. Borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the 2024 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) plus 0.50 % and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) for a one month period plus 1 %; but in any case not less than 1 %, plus an additional spread of 0.25 % to 1 %, depending on our leverage ratio, (b) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus an additional spread of 1.25 % to 2 %, depending on our leverage ratio, or (c) the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) plus an additional spread of 1.25 % to 2 %, depending on our leverage ratio. In connection with the 2024 Credit Agreement, we reaffirmed our security interest in favor of the lenders in substantially all its personal property and pledged the stock of certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. 15 Table of Contents The obligations under the 2024 Credit Agreement are also guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and those subsidiaries also provided a security interest in their similar personal property. The 2024 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including but not limited to covenants restricting the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and liens and merge or consolidate with another entity. Further, the 2024 Credit Agreement contains the following covenants: • a covenant requiring us to maintain an indebtedness to EBITDA ratio, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters, of no greater than 3.75 to 1.00, with certain alternative requirements for permitted acquisitions of at least $ 50.0 million; • a covenant requiring us to maintain an EBITDA to interest expense ratio for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters as of the end of each quarter of no less than 3.00 to 1; and • a covenant restricting us from paying dividends or repurchasing stock if, after giving effect to such payments and assuming no default exists or would result from such payment, our leverage ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1, in such case limiting such payments to the greater of 10% of consolidated total assets and $ 100.0 million during any fiscal year. We were in compliance with the above financial covenants as of March 31, 2025. Debt Outstanding Debt outstanding consisted of the following: March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Credit facility borrowings: Revolving credit facility borrowings $ 212.5 $ 197.5 Finance lease liabilities 1.3 1.2 Bank overdrafts — 0.8 Total debt 213.8 199.5 Less: current portion of long-term debt (a) ( 0.5 ) ( 1.3 ) Long-term debt $ 213.3 $ 198.2 (a) As of March 31, 2025, the Company was required to repay $ 0.5 million of finance lease liabilities, and no amounts in outstanding credit facility borrowings, over the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of $ 212.5 million under our revolving credit facility. We had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding in the amount of $ 3.2 million, leaving approximately $ 434.3 million of unused borrowing capacity on our revolving facility. Commitment fees on unused lines of credit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $ 0.2 million. The overall weighted average cost of debt was approximately 5.7 % and net of related cross-currency swap instruments and fixed rate interest rate swap instruments was approximately 4.2 %. Further details regarding the cross-currency swap instrument and fixed rate interest rate swap instrument are discussed in Note 10. 9. Warranty We record a liability for warranty claims at the time of sale. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new product introductions and other factors. Warranty terms on machines generally range from one to four years . The majority of the liability for estimated warranty claims represents amounts to be paid out in the near term for qualified warranty issues. 16 Table of Contents The changes in warranty reserves were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Beginning balance $ 10.5 $ 11.1 Additions charged to expense 1.4 1.6 Foreign currency fluctuations 0.1 — Claims paid ( 1.8 ) ( 1.8 ) Ending balance $ 10.2 $ 10.9 10. Derivatives Hedge Accounting and Hedging Programs We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. We evaluate hedge effectiveness on our hedges that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedge prospectively, as well as retrospectively, and record any ineffective portion of the hedging instruments along with the time value of purchased contracts in the same line item of the income statement as the item being hedged on our consolidated statements of income. Our hedging policy establishes maximum limits for each counterparty to minimize concentration of risk. Balance Sheet Hedges We hedge our net recognized foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities with foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk that the value of these assets and liabilities will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These contracts hedge assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies and are carried at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in the fair value recorded to net foreign currency transaction gain (loss) in our consolidated statements of income. These contracts do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding not designated as hedging instruments were $ 83.5 million and $ 70.2 million, respectively. Cash Flow Hedges We manage our floating rate debt exposure using interest rate swaps. Fixed rate swaps are used to reduce our risk of the possibility of increased interest costs. We entered into an aggregate $ 120.0 million notional amount of interest rate swaps effective December 1, 2022, that exchange a variable rate of interest for a fixed rate of interest of 4.076 %. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. These swaps are scheduled to mature on December 1, 2026. Fair Value Hedges On April 5, 2022, we entered into Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange cross-currency swaps associated with an intercompany loan from a wholly owned European subsidiary. We enter into these foreign exchange cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with this intercompany loan, and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. These cross-currency swaps are designated as fair value hedges. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, these cross-currency swaps included € 75.0 million of total notional value. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregated scheduled interest payments over the course of the loan and related swaps amounted to € 4.7 million. The scheduled maturity and principal payment of the loan of € 75.0 million is due in April 2027. 17 Table of Contents Net Investment Hedges On April 5, 2022, we entered into Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements between Tennant Company and a wholly owned European subsidiary. We enter into these fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements to protect a designated monetary amount of the Company’s net investment in its Euro functional currency subsidiary against the risk of changes in the Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate. These cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the cross-currency swaps included € 75.0 million of total notional value. These swaps are scheduled to mature in April 2027.

Fair Value Measurements Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. On February 21, 2024, the Company acquired certain investment securities in Brain Corp, a privately held autonomous technology company located in San Diego, California. The investment will drive the development and adoption of Brain Corp's next generation of robotic and AI technologies. The investment securities include $ 12.1 million of redeemable convertible preferred stock, accounted for as available-for-sale debt instruments. The investment securities also include $ 12.2 million of non-redeemable convertible preferred stock and $ 7.8 million of warrants, accounted for as equity instruments under the elected measurement alternative. The equity and debt securities were recorded at closing at their allocated fair values. For equity instruments, the carrying amount will be adjusted to fair value through net income each period based upon observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer and monitored for impairment. For debt instruments, the carrying amount will be adjusted to fair value each period through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The securities will be measured to fair value based on Level 3 inputs. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the cost and market values of our debt and equity securities were as follows: Cost Fair Value Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Balance as of March 31, 2025 Available-for-sale debt securities $ 12.1 $ 12.3 $ — $ — Equity securities 20.0 20.0 — — Total debt and equity securities $ 32.1 $ 32.3 $ — $ — Balance as of December 31, 2024 Available-for-sale debt securities $ 12.1 $ 12.3 $ 0.2 $ — Equity securities 20.0 20.0 — — Total debt and equity securities $ 32.1 $ 32.3 $ 0.2 $ — The aggregate unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax effects, are classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity. Scheduled maturities of our debt securities were as follows: Cost Fair Value After 5 years through 10 years $ 12.1 $ 12.3 Total debt securities $ 12.1 $ 12.3 Fair Value Measurements and Financial Statement Presentation Estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The framework discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The 20 Table of Contents framework utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. Our population of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements at March 31, 2025 was as follows: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Equity securities $ 20.0 $ — $ — $ 20.0 Debt securities 12.3 — — 12.3 Foreign currency forward contracts 0.7 — 0.7 — Cross-currency swaps 2.6 — 2.6 — Total assets 35.6 — 3.3 32.3 Liabilities: Cross-currency swaps 4.9 — 4.9 — Interest rate swaps 0.7 — 0.7 — Total liabilities $ 5.6 $ — $ 5.6 $ — Our population of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements at December 31, 2024 was as follows: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Equity securities $ 20.0 $ — $ — $ 20.0 Debt securities 12.3 — — 12.3 Foreign currency forward contracts 0.8 — 0.8 — Cross-currency swaps 3.4 — 3.4 — Interest rate swaps 0.1 — 0.1 — Total assets 36.6 — 4.3 32.3 Liabilities: Interest rate swaps 0.2 — 0.2 — Total liabilities $ 0.2 $ — $ 0.2 $ — Our foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps are valued using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. Further details regarding our derivative instruments are discussed in Note 10. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 investments in the periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current portion, was $ 242.9 million and $ 213.8 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2025. The fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current portion, was $ 235.9 million and $ 199.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The fair value was estimated using 21 Table of Contents Level 3 inputs based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and remaining maturities. 12. Commitments and Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to the effects of certain contractual stipulations, events, transactions, and laws and regulations that may, at times, require the recognition of liabilities, such as those related to self-insurance estimated liabilities and claims, legal and contractual issues, environmental laws and regulations, guarantees, and indemnities. We establish estimated liabilities when the associated costs related to uncertainties or guarantees become probable and can be reasonably estimated. For the period ended March 31, 2025, no material changes have occurred in our estimated liabilities for self-insurance, litigation, environmental matters, guarantees, and indemnities, or relevant events and circumstances, from those disclosed in the Commitment and Contingencies footnote of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. 22 Table of Contents 13.

Income Taxes We and our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. We are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for taxable years before 2018. The number of years which remain open for audit for U.S. state or foreign tax purposes varies by jurisdiction but generally ranges from three to five years . We are currently undergoing income tax examinations in various foreign jurisdictions. Although the outcome of these examinations cannot be currently determined, we believe that we have adequate reserves with respect to these examinations. We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. In addition to the liability of $ 6.1 million for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2025, there was approximately $ 0.7 million for accrued interest and penalties. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of March 31, 2025 was $ 5.5 million. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be revised and reflected as an adjustment of the income tax expense. 15. Share-Based Compensation Our share-based compensation plans are described in Note 18 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized total share-based compensation expense of $ 3.2 million. The total excess tax recognized for share-based compensation arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was a tax benefit of $ 0.2 million and $ 2.4 million, respectively. 16. Income Attributable to Tennant Company Per Share The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Numerator: Net income $ 13.1 $ 28.4 Denominator: Basic - weighted average shares outstanding 18,702,438 18,665,570 Effect of dilutive securities 257,569 412,197 Diluted - weighted average shares outstanding 18,960,007 19,077,767 Basic earnings per share $ 0.70 $ 1.52 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.69 $ 1.49 Excluded from the dilutive securities presented above were options to purchase and shares to be paid out under share-based compensation plans totaling 83,269 and 37,508 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These instruments were excluded when their exercise prices exceeded the average market price of our common stock for the period, when the number of shares we can repurchase under the treasury stock method exceeded the weighted average shares outstanding, or during periods of net loss, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. 24 Table of Contents 17. Segment Reporting We are organized into four operating segments: North America; Latin America; Europe, Middle East, Africa; and Asia Pacific. We combine our North America and Latin America operating segments into the "Americas" for reporting net sales by geographic area. In accordance with the objective and basic principles of the applicable accounting guidance, we aggregate our operating segments into one reportable segment that consists of the design, manufacture and sale of products used primarily in the maintenance of nonresidential surfaces. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates segment performance and makes resource allocation decisions using both net income and gross profit. Net income, which is also reported as consolidated net income on the consolidated statements of income, is regularly reviewed to assess segment performance. Additionally, the CODM uses gross profit to evaluate pricing and compare actual results to historical and forecasted data. Significant expenses within net income include cost of sales, research and development, and selling and administrative expenses, which are each separately presented on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Other segment items within net income include net foreign currency transaction gain (loss), interest expense, net, other (expense) income, net, and income tax expense. 25 Table of Contents
