NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Founded in 1904, ESAB Corporation (“ESAB” or the “Company”) is a focused premier industrial compounder providing technologies that enable the fabrication, control, inspection and monitoring of critical products and infrastructure. The portfolio includes welding and cutting systems, consumables, gas control equipment, automation and robotics, digital software and advanced inspection technologies across a variety of sectors. The Company’s rich history of innovative products, workflow solutions and its business management system, ESAB Business Excellence with AI (“EBXai”), enables the Company’s purpose of Shaping the world we imagineTM. The Company conducts its operations through two reportable segments. These segments consist of the “Americas,” which includes operations in North America and South America, and “EMEA & APAC,” which includes Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa and Asia Pacific.

The Company’s fiscal year ends December 31. The Company’s third quarter ends on the last business day of the 13th complete week after the end of the prior quarter. As used herein, the third quarter results for 2026 and 2025 refer to the 13-week periods ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively.

Eddyfi Acquisition

On June 1, 2026, ESAB completed its previously announced acquisition of Eddyfi Holding Inc. (“Eddyfi”), a global leader in advanced inspection and monitoring technologies, incorporated under the laws of the Province of Québec. See Note 3, “Acquisitions” for further information.

Russia and Ukraine Conflict

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions imposed in response have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. While ESAB continues to closely monitor the situation and evaluate options, the Company is meeting current contractual obligations while addressing applicable laws and regulations. For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, Russia represented approximately 5% of the Company’s Net sales and contributed $1.5 million and $1.4 million to the Company’s Net income, respectively. Russia also has approximately 4% of the Company’s total net assets as of October 2, 2026, including approximately $51 million of Cash and cash equivalents that have been, and may continue to be, subject to delays in withdrawing from Russia, based upon the current environment at that time. In case of the disposition of the Russia business, a portion of goodwill would need to be allocated and disposed of at the relative fair value attributable to the Russia business. Russia has a cumulative translation loss of approximately $110 million as of October 2, 2026, which would be realized upon a transition out. The Company is closely monitoring developments in Ukraine and Russia. Changes in laws and regulations or other factors impacting the Company’s ability to fulfill contractual obligations could have an adverse effect on the results of operations and cash flows.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

In the normal course of business, the Company incurs research and development costs related to new product development, which are expensed as incurred and included in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Company’s Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations. Research and development costs were $13.7 million and $39.5 million during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, respectively, and $10.5 million and $31.1 million for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, respectively. These amounts do not include development and application engineering costs incurred in conjunction with fulfilling customer orders and executing customer projects, nor do they include costs related to securing third party product rights. The Company expects to continue making significant expenditures for research and development to maintain and improve its competitive positions.

ESAB CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The accompanying interim Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which expands disclosure requirements for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the ASU may have on its disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for costs incurred to develop internal-use software including which costs are required to be recognized as an asset. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2. Discontinued Operations

The Company holds certain asbestos-related contingencies and insurance coverages from divested businesses for which it does not have an interest in the ongoing operations. The Company has classified asbestos-related activity included in its Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations as part of Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes. This activity consists primarily of expected settlement, legal and administrative expenses associated with the above liabilities. Discontinued operations consist primarily of Selling, general and administrative expense, with an associated tax impact that is considered immaterial. See Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information.

Cash used in operating activities related to discontinued operations was $3.7 million and $15.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, respectively, and $3.6 million and $10.8 million for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, respectively.

3. Acquisitions

The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit with its existing portfolio or expand its portfolio into a new and attractive business area. The Company makes appropriate adjustments to purchase price allocations prior to completion of the applicable measurement period, as required. Only facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. Refer to Note 5, “Acquisitions” in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K for further information on the Company’s accounting treatment of acquisitions.

On June 1, 2026, ESAB completed its previously announced acquisition of Eddyfi, a global leader in advanced inspection and monitoring technologies, incorporated under the laws of the Province of Québec (such transaction, the “Acquisition”). ESAB acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Eddyfi for consideration transferred of approximately $1.5 billion, net of cash received, which included customary purchase price adjustments set forth in the purchase agreement. The operations of Eddyfi are reflected across both of the Company’s reportable segments, Americas and EMEA & APAC, based on the geographic location of the respective operation.

The Company financed the Acquisition with cash on hand, proceeds from the March 2026 offering of 5.625% senior notes due 2031 and proceeds from a drawdown on its revolving facility as described in Note 9, “Debt” and the proceeds from the private placements of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock described in Note 12, “Equity.”

For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, the Acquisition added $62.8 million and $84.3 million, respectively, to Net sales.

Preliminary purchase price allocation

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities from information obtained during due diligence and through other sources. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition based on information that is currently available. The preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is determined based upon certain preliminary valuations and studies that have yet to be finalized. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment once the detailed analyses are completed, which adjustments could be material, management is continuing to finalize its valuation and will complete its purchase price allocation within one year of the date of acquisition.

The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of Acquisition:


Cash and cash equivalents	$	24,673
Trade receivables	60,002
Inventories	49,544

Goodwill	811,170
Intangible assets(3)	752,001

Deferred income taxes(3)	(179,054)
Other, net(1)(2)	(30,453)
	$	1,487,883

(1) Includes current and non-current amounts.

(2) Includes approximately $40 million of Lease assets - right of use and lease liability.

(3) During the three months ended October 2, 2026, as the Company continued its purchase price allocation analysis, it increased the preliminary fair value of acquired intangible assets and related deferred income taxes by approximately $17 million and $22 million, respectively.

Goodwill arises because purchase price exceeds fair value of acquired identifiable net assets due to anticipated future earnings and cash flow potential of the acquired businesses; prevailing market multiples applied to earnings and cash flows in comparable transactions; the competitive nature of the acquisition process; the strategic benefits of accelerating market entry or enhancing existing product offerings without incurring the time, cost and risk associated with internal development; and the complementary fit and expected synergies these businesses contribute to the Company’s existing operations. The Company preliminarily recorded $811.2 million of goodwill related to Eddyfi, none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. This has been allocated across the Company's reportable segments based on the geographic location of the entity, with $713.4 million allocated to the Americas segment and $97.8 million allocated to the EMEA & APAC segment.

The following summarizes the preliminary estimated fair value of significant, identifiable intangible assets acquired, excluding goodwill, as of June 1, 2026:


	Intangible Asset		Amortization Period
	(in thousands)		(years)
Customer relationships	$	580,000	12-16
Trade names	64,000		5-18
Technology	90,000		11
Backlog	18,001		2
	$	752,001

Preliminary fair value adjustments were made to intangible assets and inventories upon acquisition. Deferred taxes were preliminarily adjusted to record the book-tax basis difference of acquisition accounting adjustments primarily related to amounts allocated to intangible assets, inventories and other liabilities. The fair value of the property, plant and equipment, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other assets and liabilities were estimated to approximate their book values.

Pro forma financial information

The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly the Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements include the financial position and results of operations from the date of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth below gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the Acquisition been consummated as of that time:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	October 2, 2026		October 3, 2025		October 2, 2026		October 3, 2025
	(in thousands)
Net sales	$	824,521	$	780,389	$	2,474,386	$	2,279,907
Net income attributable to common stockholders	36,079		30,553		84,965		124,434

The pro forma combined historical results for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025 were adjusted for the following: a reduction of interest and other financing expenses as a result of the repayment of outstanding indebtedness of Eddyfi; an increase in interest and other financing expenses as a result of the debt incurred by ESAB for the purpose of financing the Acquisition; the inclusion of the MCPS (as described and defined in Note 12, “Equity”) dividend at a rate of 6.50% per annum; an increase in amortization expense due to the intangible assets and inventory fair value step-up recorded. The pro forma combined results of operations do not include any adjustments to eliminate the impact of acquisition-related costs incurred by ESAB or Eddyfi or any cost savings or other synergies that resulted or may result from the Acquisition.

Acquisition-related transaction costs

The Company incurred approximately $1 million and $24 million of acquisition-related transaction costs related to all acquisition activity in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, respectively. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations.

For a description of the Company’s acquisition activity for the year ended December 31, 2025, refer to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Note 5, “Acquisitions” thereto in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

4. Revenue

The Company’s portfolio includes welding and cutting systems, consumables, gas control equipment, automation and robotics, digital software and advanced inspection technologies across a variety of sectors. Substantially all revenue is recognized at a point in time. The Company disaggregates its revenue into the following product groups:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	October 2, 2026		October 3, 2025		October 2, 2026		October 3, 2025
	(in thousands)
Equipment	$	350,520	$	249,948	$	928,268	$	714,375
Consumables	474,001		477,897		1,449,477		1,407,194
	$	824,521	$	727,845	$	2,377,745	$	2,121,569

The sales mix in the above table is relatively consistent across both reportable segments. The consumables product grouping generally has less production complexity and shorter production cycles than equipment products.

Given the nature of our business, the total amount of unsatisfied performance obligations with an original contract duration of greater than one year as of October 2, 2026 is immaterial. In some circumstances, customers are billed in advance of revenue recognition, resulting in contract liabilities. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total contract liabilities were $19.7 million and $26.4 million, respectively, and were included in Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, revenue recognized that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was $3.2 million and $15.5 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, revenue recognized that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the

year was $1.9 million and $15.5 million, respectively. As of October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, total contract liabilities were $33.1 million and $27.2 million, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses

A summary of the activity in the Company’s allowance for credit losses included within Trade receivables in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended October 2, 2026
	Balance at Beginning of Period		Charged to Expense, net		Write-Offs and Deductions		Foreign Currency Translation and Other		Balance at End of Period

Allowance for credit losses	$	21,765	$	1,590	$	(2,863)	$	1,500	$	21,992

5. Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased with the proceeds from the issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. The Company has unvested share-based payment awards with a right to receive non-forfeitable dividends, which are considered participating securities. The Company allocates earnings to participating securities and computed earnings per share using the two-class method as per the table below. For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025 no options to purchase shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The impact of the MCPS (as described and defined in Note 12, “Equity”) calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive, and as such, shares underlying the MCPS were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026.

The market-based stock price condition applicable to the Performance Option Awards (as described and defined in Note 12, “Equity”) had not been satisfied, and accordingly no shares were contingently issuable under the Performance Option Awards for purposes of the diluted earnings per share calculation. As a result, 2.4 million shares underlying the Performance Option Awards had no effect on, and were excluded from, the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026.

(2) Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, performance-based restricted stock units and non-performance-based restricted stock units.

6. Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $55.4 million and $168.4 million, respectively, while Income tax expense was $13.3 million and $38.1 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 23.9% and 22.6% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, respectively. The effective tax rate differed from the 2026 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the tax effects related to the Eddyfi transaction.

During the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $83.0 million and $264.2 million, respectively, while Income tax expense was $17.7 million and $56.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 21.3% and 21.4% for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate differed from the 2025 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of a law change in a foreign jurisdiction and withholding tax offset by a release of a valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction.

On April 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement that initially consisted of (i) a $750 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of April 4, 2027, (ii) a senior term loan A-1 facility with an initial aggregate principal amount of $400 million with a maturity date of April 4, 2027 and (iii) a $600 million 364-day senior term loan A-2 facility with a maturity date of April 3, 2023. The senior term loan A-2 facility was subsequently refinanced in June 2022 extending its maturity date to April 3, 2025 to become a senior term loan A-3 facility.

ESAB CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(Unaudited)

On April 9, 2024, the Company issued $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) governed by an indenture (the “2029 Indenture”). The 2029 Senior Notes have a contractual maturity interest rate of 6.25% and maturity date of April 15, 2029. The Company used the net proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes to pay off its senior term loan A-3 facility and pay fees associated with the offering.

On October 16, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) that, among other things, provides for (i) a senior term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million and (ii) a senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in the amount of $1.05 billion to replace the Company’s existing $400 million senior term loan A-1 facility and $750 million revolving credit facility and pay off the outstanding principal and interest thereunder. Both facilities mature on October 16, 2030, subject to a springing maturity date under certain circumstances. The Revolving Facility contains a $300 million foreign currency sublimit and a $50 million swing line loan sub-facility.

On March 26, 2026, the Company issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due 2031 (the “2031 Senior Notes” and, together with the 2029 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”) governed by an indenture (the “2031 Indenture” and together with the 2029 Indenture, the “Indentures”). The 2031 Senior Notes have a contractual maturity interest rate of 5.625% and maturity date of April 1, 2031. The Company used $240 million of the net proceeds to pay down the revolving line of credit and used the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the 2031 Senior Notes to pay a portion of the acquisition price of Eddyfi and associated costs and expenses. Refer to Note 3, “Acquisitions” for additional information. The Indentures also provide for certain optional or mandatory redemptions or prepayments in other circumstances, none of which are currently expected by management as of October 2, 2026.

The A&R Credit Agreement and the Indentures contain customary covenants. These covenants limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, make investments or pay dividends. In addition, the A&R Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintains certain financial covenants and the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of October 2, 2026. The A&R Credit Agreement and the Indentures contain various events of default (including failure to comply with the covenants under the A&R Credit Agreement) and upon an event of default the lenders may, subject to various customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility, Senior Notes and the Revolving Facility. Certain United States subsidiaries of the Company have agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Company under the A&R Credit Agreement and Senior Notes.

Loans made under the Term Loan A Facility will bear interest, at the election of the Company, at either the base rate (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) or at the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an adjustment (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement), in each case, plus the applicable interest rate margin. Loans made under the Revolving Facility will bear interest, at the election of the Company, at either the base rate or, (i) in the case of loans denominated in dollars, the term SOFR plus an adjustment or the daily simple SOFR plus an adjustment, (ii) in the case of loans denominated in euros, the adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) rate and, (iii) in the case of loans denominated in sterling, Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) plus an adjustment (as all such rates are defined in the A&R Credit Agreement), in each case, plus the applicable interest rate margin. The applicable interest rate margin changes based upon the Company’s total leverage ratio (consolidated total net debt divided by EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement and ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% or in the case of the base rate margin, 0.125% to 0.750%). Each swing line loan denominated in dollars will bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin.

To manage exposures to currency exchange rates and interest rates arising in Long-term debt, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements. Refer to Note 10, “Derivatives” for additional information.

As of October 2, 2026, the weighted-average interest rate of borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement and Indentures was 5.40%, including the net impact from the cross-currency swaps and excluding accretion of deferred financing fees, and there was $760 million of borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Facility, subject to the Company meeting financial covenants and other requirements.

Bridge Loan Commitment Letter

On January 31, 2026, the Company entered into a commitment letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to provide a $1.0 billion aggregate principal senior unsecured bridge term loan facility (the “Bridge Loan”) to fund the Acquisition and

ESAB CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(Unaudited)

related fees and expenses. On March 26, 2026, following the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes, the Company terminated the Bridge Loan. The Company never drew down on the Bridge Loan and paid $4.8 million for customary upfront fees related to the Bridge Loan that were expensed through Interest expense and other, net upon termination of the Bridge Loan.

Other Indebtedness

In addition to the debt agreements discussed above, the Company also has the ability to incur $72.6 million of indebtedness pursuant to certain uncommitted credit lines, consisting of a $50.0 million uncommitted credit line and a €20.0 million uncommitted credit line. The Company has used these facilities from time to time in the past for short-term working capital needs.

The Company is party to letter of credit facilities with an aggregate capacity of $116.8 million. Total letters of credit of $53.6 million were outstanding under these facilities, resulting in $63.2 million of remaining available capacity as of October 2, 2026.

Deferred Financing Fees

The Company had total deferred financing fees of $21.3 million included in its Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets as of October 2, 2026, which will be charged to Interest expense and other, net, over the term of the related debt instruments. The costs associated with the Term Loan A Facility and Senior Notes noted above will be amortized over the contractual term of the related facility. Of the $21.3 million, $3.3 million of deferred financing fees relating to the Revolving Facility are included in Other assets and $18.0 million of deferred financing fees relating to the Term Loan A Facility and Senior Notes are recorded as a contra-liability within Long-term debt. The deferred financing fees related to the 2031 Senior Notes make up $11.6 million of the $18.0 million.

10. Derivatives

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to currency exchange rates arising in connection with Long-term debt and the normal course of business. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the risk management of these exposures. Both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are assessed as to their effectiveness, when applicable.

The Company is subject to the credit risk of counterparties to derivative instruments. Counterparties include a number of major banks and financial institutions. None of the concentrations of risk with an individual counterparty was considered significant as of October 2, 2026. The Company does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The Company records derivatives in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value.

Net Investment Hedges

In 2024, the Company entered into six cross-currency swap agreements with a maturity date of October 15, 2026, to partially hedge its net investment in its Euro-denominated subsidiaries against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Euro. The cross-currency swap agreements included provisions to exchange fixed-rate payments in U.S. Dollar for fixed-rate payments in Euro and were designated and qualified as a net investment hedge. These contracts had a Euro aggregate notional amount of approximately €360 million and a U.S. Dollar aggregate notional amount of approximately $375 million.

Prior to the maturity of these six cross-currency swaps, on August 20, 2026, the Company de-designated these swaps and entered into eight new cross-currency swaps. These contracts had an aggregate notional amount of approximately €639 million and a U.S. Dollar aggregate notional amount of approximately $700 million. Of these aggregate notional amounts, approximately $420 million is set to mature in October 2027 and $280 million is set to mature in October 2028. These swaps are designated and accounted for as a net investment hedge.

The changes in the spot rate of these instruments are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) in equity, partially offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s related net investment that is also recorded in AOCL. The Company uses the spot method of assessing hedge effectiveness and as such, the initial value of the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in the Interest expense and other, net line item

in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations under a systematic and rational method over the life of the cross-currency swap agreements. Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are reclassified from AOCL into earnings during the period of change. Due to the de-designation transaction above on August 20, 2026, the Company will keep the balance in AOCL related to the original derivative for the duration that the investment is held. The Company did not have any ineffectiveness related to net investment hedges during the nine months ended October 2, 2026.

The cash inflows and outflows associated with the excluded components of the Company’s cross-currency swap agreements designated as net investment hedges are classified in operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. The cash inflows and outflows associated with the settlement of the six existing cross-currency swap agreements and entering into eight new cross-currency swap agreements designated as net investment hedges are classified in investing activities in the accompanying Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

The table below shows the fair value of the derivatives recognized in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets:

Cross-currency swap agreements	$	22,372	$	—	$	48,778	$	—

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company has certain foreign currency contracts that are not designated as hedges. As of October 2, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had foreign currency contracts related to purchases and sales with notional values of $146.6 million and $105.2 million, respectively.

The table below shows the fair value of derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship recognized in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets:


	October 2, 2026				December 31, 2025
Not Designated as Hedging Instruments	Accrued Liabilities		Other Current Assets		Accrued Liabilities		Other Current Assets
	(In thousands)
Foreign currency contracts	$	2,848	$	—	$	183	$	780

The amounts in the table above as of October 2, 2026 and December 31, 2025 reflect the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts on a net basis where allowable under master netting agreements. Had these amounts been recognized on a gross basis, the impact would have been insignificant to Other current assets and Accrued liabilities.

The gains or losses on foreign currency contracts are usually offset by foreign exchange exposure on cash and intercompany positions, all of which are recognized in Interest expense and other, net, in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations.

11. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of financial instruments, including Trade receivables and Accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The estimated fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could be realized as of the balance sheet date or that will be realized in the future.

The Company measures the fair value of foreign currency contracts and cross-currency swap agreements using Level Two inputs based on observable spot and forward rates in active markets. Additionally, the fair value of derivatives designated in hedging relationships includes a credit valuation adjustment to appropriately incorporate nonperformance risk for the Company and the respective counterparty. For the nine months ended October 2, 2026, the impact of the credit valuation adjustment on the Company’s derivatives is immaterial. Refer to Note 10, “Derivatives” for additional information. There were no transfers in or out of Level One, Two or Three during the nine months ended October 2, 2026.

12. Equity

Share Repurchase Program

On August 13, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to five million shares of the Company’s Common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time-to-time on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or as may otherwise be determined by the Company’s management in its discretion. No repurchases of the Company’s Common stock have been made through the share repurchase program since inception. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. There is no term associated with the repurchase authorization.

Performance-Based Stock Option Awards

On June 10, 2026 and July 1, 2026, the Company granted performance-based non-qualified stock option awards (the “Performance Option Awards”) covering an aggregate of 2,394,496 shares of Common stock under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The June 10, 2026 awards covering 2,336,440 shares have an exercise price of $82.92 per share, equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common stock on that date, and a seven-year contractual term expiring June 9, 2033. The July 1, 2026 awards covering 58,056 shares have an exercise price of $93.69 per share, equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common stock on that date, and a seven-year contractual term expiring June 30, 2033. As of October 2, 2026, all 2,394,496 Performance Option Awards were outstanding.

Each Performance Option Award is divided into three equal tranches, with vesting contingent upon both a market-based stock price condition and a service condition. The stock price condition requires the Company’s 30-trading-day average closing stock price to equal or exceed $140.00, $170.00 and $200.00 per share for Tranches One, Two and Three, respectively, during the four-year performance period commencing on the second anniversary of the applicable grant date. The shares within each tranche vest ratably across three service vesting dates, being the fourth, fifth and sixth anniversaries of the applicable grant date, provided that the award recipient remains continuously employed by the Company through each such vesting date. Each vesting portion is treated as a separate award for expense recognition purposes, with compensation cost recognized ratably for each tranche over its respective service period. Any tranche for which the applicable stock price hurdle is not achieved during the performance period will be forfeited in full.

Valuation Assumptions

The grant-date fair value of each tranche was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The June 10, 2026 and July 1, 2026 grants were valued separately as of their respective grant dates using the weighted-average assumptions included in the tables below. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of Performance Option Awards granted during the nine months ended October 2, 2026 was $26.90 per option, with a total aggregate grant-date fair value of $64.4 million.

The weighted-average assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation were as follows:



Expected annualized volatility(1)	32.0	%
Risk-free interest rate(2)	4.4	%
Expected dividend yield	0.6	%
Contractual term	7.0 years

(1) Expected volatility based on the average historical stock price volatility of a group of peer companies over a seven-year period consistent with the contractual term of the award.

(2) Risk-free rate based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the applicable grant date for a seven-year period consistent with the contractual term of the award.

Compensation Expense and Unrecognized Cost

During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, the Company recognized $2.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Option Awards, included in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Company’s Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations.

As of October 2, 2026, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Performance Option Awards was $60.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 4.7 years over the remaining term.

Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock Issuance

On June 1, 2026, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company completed the previously announced private placements of (i) 175,000 shares (the “Preferred Shares”) of its 6.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”), par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to that certain Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 2, 2026, between the Company and certain institutional investors thereto, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $175.0 million and (ii) 1,254,255 shares of its Common stock in accordance with that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 2, 2026 (the “Common Stock Agreement”) between the Company and certain institutional investors thereto for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $143 million.

The MCPS was issued at a price of $1,000 per Preferred Share and the net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the fees payable to the placement agents, was $171.1 million. The gross proceeds were recorded to MCPS with the related issuance costs of $3.9 million recorded as a reduction to MCPS.

The Common stock was issued at a price of $114.00 per share and the net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the fees payable to the placement agent, was $139.8 million. In connection with the Common Stock Agreement, the Company agreed to provide the purchasers of Common stock with certain customary registration rights with respect to the shares of Common stock issued thereunder. The gross proceeds were recorded to Common stock at par value and the remainder was recorded to Additional paid-in capital within shareholders’ equity. The related issuance costs of $3.2 million were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital.

The MCPS purchasers include one or more entities affiliated with Mitchell Rales, the Executive Chair of the Board of Directors, and one or more entities affiliated with Steven Rales, Mr. Rales’ brother, who purchased $100.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively, of the MCPS for investment purposes. The remaining $50.0 million was purchased by other third parties. The pricing and other terms of the MCPS were negotiated with the unaffiliated institutional investors participating in the private placement, and the entities affiliated with Mitchell Rales and Steven Rales purchased their MCPS on the same terms and at the same price as agreed upon with those unaffiliated investors.

The MCPS was issued on the Acquisition closing date June 1, 2026 and will mandatorily convert into common stock on the mandatory conversion date, which is approximately three years from issuance, unless earlier converted by the holder or upon a fundamental change. The shares accrue cumulative dividends at a rate of 6.50% per annum ($65.00 per share per annum), payable in cash quarterly when, as and if declared. If any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, no dividends may be declared or paid on Common stock or other junior stock unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares have been declared and paid in full.

ESAB CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The Fixed Conversion Rates are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock dividends, share splits and combinations, rights or warrant issuances, certain distributions, cash dividends exceeding $0.10 per share per quarter, and tender or exchange offers. Unless previously converted, each share will automatically convert on the conversion date at a rate ranging from 7.1806 to 8.2576 shares of Common stock, depending on the average market price during the specified settlement period and subject to certain customary anti‑dilution and other protective adjustment provisions. In the aggregate, conversion of all 175,000 shares of Preferred stock would result in the issuance of between approximately 1,256,605 and 1,445,080 shares of Common stock. No fractional shares will be issued; the Company will pay cash in lieu thereof. Holders may elect early conversion at the minimum conversion rate, subject to adjustments for unpaid dividends. The MCPS has a liquidation preference senior to common equity and is not redeemable, except for limited redemptions required to address regulatory ownership restrictions.

Holders of the MCPS generally do not have voting rights except as required by Delaware law. However, upon a nonpayment (failure to declare and pay dividends for six or more dividend periods), holders may elect two additional directors to the Board, and certain protective matters (including issuance of senior stock or adverse amendments to the Certificate of Designations) require the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding MCPS.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Asbestos Contingencies

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are the legal obligor, or owner, for certain asbestos obligations including long-term asbestos insurance assets, long-term asbestos insurance receivables, accrued asbestos liabilities, long-term asbestos liabilities, asbestos indemnity expenses, asbestos-related defense costs and asbestos insurance recoveries related to the asbestos obligations of the Company’s legacy industrial businesses. As a result, the Company holds certain asbestos-related contingencies and insurance coverages.

These subsidiaries are each one of many defendants in a large number of lawsuits that claim personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos from products manufactured or used with components that are alleged to have contained asbestos. Such components were acquired from third-party suppliers, and were not manufactured by any of the Company’s subsidiaries, nor were the subsidiaries producers or direct suppliers of asbestos. The manufactured products that are alleged to have contained or used asbestos generally were provided to meet the specifications of the subsidiaries’ customers, including the United States Navy. The subsidiaries settle asbestos claims for amounts the Company considers reasonable given the facts and circumstances of each claim. For additional information on these asbestos claims, refer to Note 19, “Commitments and Contingencies” thereto in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

The annual number of cases and average settlement payment per asbestos claimant has fluctuated during the past several years. The Company expects such settlement value fluctuations to continue in the future based upon, among other things, the number and type of claims settled in a particular period and the jurisdictions in which such claims arise. To date, the majority of settled claims have been dismissed for no payment to plaintiffs.

The Company has classified asbestos-related activity in Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations.

The Company has projected each subsidiary’s future asbestos-related liability costs with regard to pending and future unasserted claims based upon the Nicholson methodology. The Nicholson methodology is a standard approach used by experts and has been accepted by numerous courts. It is ESAB’s policy to record a liability for asbestos-related liability costs for the longest period of time that ESAB management can reasonably estimate.

The Company believes that it can reasonably estimate the asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims that will be resolved in the next 15 years and has recorded that liability at its best estimate. While it is reasonably possible that the subsidiaries will incur costs after this period, the Company does not believe the reasonably possible loss or a range of reasonably possible losses is estimable at the current time. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded for any costs that may be paid after the next 15 years. Defense costs associated with asbestos-related liabilities as well as costs incurred related to collection of insurance recoveries from the subsidiaries’ insurers are expensed as incurred.

Each subsidiary has separate insurance coverage that was acquired prior to Company ownership. The Company estimates the insurance assets for each subsidiary based upon the applicable policy language, expected recoveries and allocation methodologies, and law pertaining to the affected subsidiary’s insurance policies.

Long-term asbestos liability(3)	248,828		269,829

(1) Included in Other assets in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets.

(2) Represents current accruals for probable and reasonably estimable asbestos-related liability costs that the Company believes the subsidiaries will pay and unpaid legal costs related to defending themselves against asbestos-related liability claims and legal action against the Company’s insurers, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets.

(3) Included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets.

Management’s analyses are based on currently known facts and assumptions. Projecting future events, such as new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolving each claim, coverage issues among layers of insurers, the method in which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies, interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships, the continuing solvency of various insurance companies, the amount of remaining insurance available, as well as the numerous uncertainties inherent in asbestos litigation could cause the actual liabilities and insurance recoveries to be higher or lower than those projected or recorded that could materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. From time to time, other asbestos allegations related to the Company’s legacy industrial businesses are brought against the Company. Management currently believes no loss is probable or estimable for these other matters.

General Litigation

The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of the Company’s business. None of these legal proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company. With respect to these proceedings, and the litigation and claims described in the preceding paragraphs, management of the Company believes that it will either prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate accruals to cover potential liabilities. Legal costs related to proceedings or claims are recorded when incurred. Other costs that management estimates may be paid related to the claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adverse to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.

14. Segment Information

The Company conducts its operations through two reportable segments. These segments consist of the “Americas,” which includes operations in North America and South America, and “EMEA & APAC,” which includes Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa and Asia Pacific.

The Company’s management considers its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to be Shyam Kambeyanda, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director. The Company’s management and CODM evaluate the operating results of each reportable segment, including assessment of profit or loss, performance and allocation of resources, based upon Net sales and Adjusted EBITDA, which represents Net income from continuing operations excluding the impact of Income tax expense, Interest expense and other, net, Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition transaction, due diligence and integration expenses, amortization of intangibles and fair value step up on acquired inventories, depreciation and other amortization and other costs such as compensation expense related to the Performance Option Awards. Segment results reflect the allocation of overhead costs, which primarily consist of Selling, general and administrative expense.

Overview

Please see Part I. Item 1. “Business” in our 2025 Form 10-K for a discussion of ESAB’s objectives and methodologies for delivering stockholder value.

We are a focused premier industrial compounder. Our rich history of innovative products, workflow solutions and our business system, ESAB Business Excellence with AI (“EBXai”), enables our purpose of Shaping the world we imagineTM. We conduct our operations through two reportable segments. These segments consist of the “Americas,” which includes operations in North America and South America, and “EMEA & APAC,” which includes Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa and Asia Pacific. We serve a global customer base across multiple markets through a combination of direct sales and third-party distribution channels. Our customer base is highly diversified in the industrial end markets.

Outlook

We believe that we are well positioned to grow our businesses organically over the long term by enhancing our product offerings and expanding our customer base. We believe our business mix is well balanced between sales in high growth and developed markets, and equipment and consumables. We believe that our geographic and end market diversity helps mitigate the effects from cyclical industrial market exposures. Given this balance, management does not use indices other than general economic trends and business initiatives to predict the overall outlook for the Company. Instead, our individual businesses monitor key competitors and customers, including to the extent possible their sales, to gauge relative performance and outlook for the future.

We expect strategic acquisitions to contribute to our growth. We believe that our extensive experience of acquiring and effectively integrating acquisition targets should enable us to capitalize on future opportunities. We believe our recent acquisitions are aligned with this strategic direction. On June 1, 2026, we acquired Eddyfi, a global leader in advanced inspection and monitoring technologies headquartered in Québec, Canada, for consideration of approximately $1.5 billion. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Eddyfi’s revenues totaled approximately $240 million. Refer to Note 3, “Acquisitions” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Because our products and services are available worldwide, we rely on a global supply chain to source raw materials, parts and components. The majority of our sales are derived from international operations and, as such, we are subject to specific risks associated with changes in the United States policy regarding international trade and other retaliatory trade measures that the United States and foreign governments may take, including the imposition of tariffs, sanctions, export or import controls and other measures that restrict international trade. The United States has announced significant new tariffs on imports from a wide range of countries, including China, which was followed by retaliatory tariffs by China and a number of countries and a cycle of further retaliatory announcements and trade actions. While certain of the tariffs have been and may be delayed, others have taken or may take effect. Further, tariffs announced or imposed by the United States could be altered or delayed through presidential action, bilateral negotiations, judicial orders or congressional actions, and tariffs announced by other countries can be affected by similar developments. These and future changes in tariffs and trade policies have resulted and could result in additional costs and pricing pressures, supply chain disruptions, volatile or unpredictable customer spending patterns and increased economic or geopolitical risks, any or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, perhaps materially or in ways that we cannot predict.

ESAB operates a diversified global supply chain and sources parts and materials globally. In February 2026, the United States Supreme Court (the “Court”) ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), which the United States administration (the “administration”) relied on to impose certain tariffs, does not authorize the administration to impose tariffs. On March 4, 2026, the United States Court of International Trade ordered the United States Customs and Border

Protection (“CBP”) to process refunds of the IEEPA tariffs. The IEEPA tariffs remain subject to ongoing litigation between the administration and other parties. The full impact of the Court’s ruling and the administration’s response remains uncertain. The process for addressing requests for refunds of the IEEPA tariffs has begun. We have received IEEPA tariff refunds during the nine months ended October 2, 2026. The actual timing and extent of any future refunds remain uncertain at this time. Accordingly, we have not recorded any IEEPA tariff refund receivables as of October 2, 2026. We continue to actively monitor and evaluate these developments and the potential impacts of trade policy and tariffs on our business, supply chain and results of operations. We maintain operations worldwide, including in the jurisdictions impacted by the announced and contemplated tariffs. Refer to Part I. Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information. The full impact of the matters noted above on the Company, our customers and suppliers, the overall economy and capital markets remains uncertain.

The discussion that follows includes a comparison of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our Results of Operations addresses the comparison of the periods presented. Our management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon Net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA as defined in the “Non-GAAP Measures” section.

Items Affecting Comparability of Reported Results

The comparability of our operating results for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025 is affected by the following significant factors:

Russia and Ukraine Conflict

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions and other actions taken by governments in response to this crisis have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. Refer to Note 1, “Organization and Basis of Presentation” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as well as Part I. Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” section of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.

The Middle East Conflict

The conflict in the Middle East and the related impacts, such as logistics challenges from the closing of the Strait of Hormuz and the war in Iran, have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. As reflected in the discussions that follow, these challenges have had a variety of impacts on our results of operations during the nine months ended October 2, 2026, including decreased sales levels and increased inventory costs. Refer to Part I. Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” section of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.

Tariffs

The Company continues to actively monitor the changes in United States policy regarding international trade, including the recent progress in reaching or progressing international trade agreements with major counterparties and the IEEPA tariff refunds discussed above. As reflected in the discussions that follow, the United States policy regarding international trade and actions taken in response to it have had a variety of impacts on our results of operations during 2025 and the nine months ended October 2, 2026, including decreased sales levels and increased raw material costs. For additional information on the risks of United States policy regarding international trade to the Company’s operations, refer to Part I. Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” section of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.

Acquisitions

We complement our organic growth with acquisitions and other investments. Acquisitions can affect our reported results, and we report the change in our Net sales between periods both from existing and acquired businesses. The change in Net sales due to acquisitions for the periods presented in this filing represents the incremental sales as a result of acquisitions, including the Eddyfi acquisition that was completed on June 1, 2026. For additional information on our acquisitions, refer to Note 3,

“Acquisitions” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and Note 5, “Acquisitions” in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

A significant portion of our Net sales, 77% and 78% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, respectively, are outside the United States, with the majority of those sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Because much of our manufacturing and employee costs are outside the United States, a significant portion of our costs are also denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Changes in foreign exchange rates can impact our results of operations and are quantified when significant.

For the three months ended October 2, 2026 compared to the three months ended October 3, 2025, fluctuations in foreign currencies increased Net sales by 0.8%, Gross profit by 0.5% and Selling, general and administrative expense by 0.3%.

For the nine months ended October 2, 2026 compared to the nine months ended October 3, 2025, fluctuations in foreign currencies increased Net sales by 2.9%, Gross profit by 2.7% and Selling, general and administrative expense by 2.9%.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we include in this Form 10-Q because it is a key metric used by our management to assess our operating performance. ESAB presents this non-GAAP financial measure including and excluding Russia due to economic and political volatility caused by the Russia and Ukraine conflict, which we believe results in enhanced investor interest in these alternative presentations. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from Net income from continuing operations the effect of Income tax expense, Interest expense and other, net, Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition transaction, due diligence and integration expenses, amortization of intangibles and fair value step up on acquired inventories, depreciation and other amortization and other costs such as compensation expense related to the performance-based non-qualified stock option awards granted on June 10, 2026 and July 1, 2026 (the “Performance Option Awards”). We also present Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITDA. Further, we present these non-GAAP performance measures on a segment basis subject to the same adjustments described above. We also present Core adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA margin, which are subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, respectively, and which removes the impact of Russia for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA assist management in comparing our operating performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to unusual events or discrete restructuring plans and other initiatives that are fundamentally different from our ongoing productivity and core business. Management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Net income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Core adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA margin by segment for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025.

Net sales from existing businesses increased by $13.9 million during the three months ended October 2, 2026, compared to the prior year period, driven by $18.7 million of customer pricing increases partially offset by a $4.8 million decrease in sales volume. The $18.7 million increase in customer pricing was largely driven by higher materials costs resulting from factors such as tariffs in the Americas and rising oil prices caused by the war in Iran. The $4.8 million decrease in sales volume is primarily driven by lower volumes in South America, Mexico and the Middle East partially offset by increases in the United States, Canada and Asia. Additionally, there was an increase in Net sales from acquisitions attributable to EWM GmbH (“EWM”) and Eddyfi. Movements in foreign exchange rates resulted in a $5.5 million favorable currency translation impact.

Net sales from existing businesses increased by $19.2 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2026, compared to the prior year period, driven by $42.6 million of customer pricing increases partially offset by a $23.4 million decrease in sales volume due to drivers such as tariffs in the Americas, challenges in the Middle East related to the war in Iran and lower volumes in Russia. The $42.6 million increase in customer pricing was largely driven by higher materials costs resulting from factors such as tariffs in the Americas and rising oil prices caused by the war in Iran. The $23.4 million decrease in sales volume occurred primarily during the first quarter as the tariff impacts in the second and third quarters of 2026 were comparable to the increased tariffs first imposed in April 2025. Additionally, the increase in Net sales from acquisitions was attributable to Bavaria Schweisstechnik (“Bavaria”), DeltaP s.r.l. (“DeltaP”), Aktiv Technologies Private Limited (“Aktiv”), EWM and Eddyfi. The changes in foreign exchange rates resulted in a $61.3 million favorable currency translation impact.

Third Quarter of 2026 Compared to Third Quarter of 2025

Net sales in our EMEA & APAC segment increased $52.0 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared with the prior year period. Net sales from existing business increased $11.6 million primarily resulting from $10.7 million increases in customer pricing as well as a $0.8 million increase in sales volume and new product initiatives. The increase in sales volume is primarily

driven by increased volume in Asia largely offset by softness in the Middle East as a result of the war in Iran. The EWM and Eddyfi acquisitions contributed $43.2 million to Net sales from acquisitions. Furthermore, there was a $2.7 million unfavorable foreign currency impact. Gross profit increased by $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared with the prior year period, primarily due to accretion from acquisitions and customer pricing increases partially offset by higher material costs. Gross profit margin expanded approximately 170 basis points primarily due to the aforementioned factors. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $22.1 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared with the prior year period largely due to acquisitions and related transaction costs as well as higher overall costs from general inflation and annual merit increase impact.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We expect to finance our working capital requirements through cash flows from operating activities. We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, funding of acquisitions, capital expenditures, restructuring and asbestos-related cash outflows, debt service and required principal payments, stock repurchase and, subject to approval from the Board of Directors, payment of cash dividends.

As of October 2, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenants under the A&R Credit Agreement and the Indentures. The Company’s weighted average interest rate of borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement and the Indentures was 5.40%, excluding accretion of deferred financing fees. As of the end of the third quarter, we had the capacity for additional indebtedness of up to $760 million available on the Revolving Facility. Additionally, we had the ability to incur $72.6 million of indebtedness pursuant to certain uncommitted credit lines, consisting primarily of an uncommitted credit line that we currently have in place, which we have used from time to time in the past for short-term working capital needs. Refer to Note 9, “Debt” and Note 10, “Derivatives” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for more information related to the Company’s debt and derivative instruments. We believe that we could raise additional funds in the form of debt or equity if we determined it to be appropriate for strategic acquisitions or other corporate purposes. We believe that our sources of liquidity between debt and cash flows from operating activities are adequate to fund our operations for the next twelve months and thereafter.

Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) and Common Stock Issuances

On June 1, 2026, substantially concurrently with the closing of the Eddyfi acquisition, the Company completed the previously announced private placements of (i) 175,000 shares of its 6.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to that certain Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 2, 2026, between the Company and certain institutional investors thereto for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $175.0 million and (ii) 1,254,255 shares of its Common stock, par value $0.001 per share, in accordance with that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 2, 2026 between the Company and certain institutional investors thereto for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $143 million. The MCPS shares accrue cumulative dividends at a rate of 6.50% per annum ($65.00 per share per annum), payable in cash quarterly when, as and if declared. Refer to Note 12, “Equity” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Stock Repurchase Program

On August 13, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to five million shares of the Company’s Common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time-to-time on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or as may otherwise be determined by the Company’s management in its discretion. No repurchases of the Company’s Common stock have been made through the share repurchase program since inception. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. There is no term associated with the remaining repurchase authorization.

Cash Flows

As of October 2, 2026, the Company had $188.6 million of Cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $2.8 million from the balance of $185.9 million as of December 31, 2025.

The following table summarizes the change in Cash and cash equivalents during the periods indicated:

(1) Numbers may not sum due to rounding.

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in working capital and the timing of payments for items such as pension funding, asbestos-related costs and restructuring program funding. Changes in significant operating cash flow items are discussed below.

•Operating cash flow for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 decreased largely due to Net income being lower partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization as well as stock-based compensation expense and better working capital performance than in the prior year period.

•Discontinued operations for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025 included outflows of $15.5 million and $10.8 million, respectively, which were primarily asbestos-related.

•Restructuring initiative payments were $38.7 million and $8.8 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively. Refer to Note 8, “Accrued and Other liabilities” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

•Acquisition-related payments were $22.1 million and $16.6 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively, which were related to due diligence, transaction and other related costs.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the nine months ended October 2, 2026 are primarily comprised of the Eddyfi acquisition for $1.5 billion, net of cash received in addition to purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended October 2, 2026 are primarily comprised of the proceeds from borrowings on the 2031 Senior Notes and the revolving facilities as well as proceeds from the issuance of Common stock and MCPS in connection with the Eddyfi acquisition. This activity was partially offset by repayments of borrowings on the revolving facilities, debt issuance costs and payment of dividends as well as other immaterial financing activity.

Our Cash and cash equivalents as of October 2, 2026 included $176.5 million held in jurisdictions outside the United States. Repatriation of cash into the United States may be subject to withholding taxes, other international and local statutory restrictions and regulations and minority owner distributions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based upon our historical experience, our evaluation of business and macroeconomic trends and information from other outside sources, as appropriate. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what our management anticipates, and different assumptions or estimates about the future could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

There have been no other significant additions or changes to the methods, estimates and judgments included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies” in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We address our exposure to these risks through our normal operating and financing activities. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

In 2025, we entered into a term loan facility and a revolving credit facility pursuant to the terms of the A&R Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 9, “Debt” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information. We are exposed to interest rate risk on the variable-rate term loans under these facilities. Based on variable-rate borrowings outstanding as of October 2, 2026, a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 1% would have increased annualized interest expense by approximately $6.5 million. Based on variable-rate borrowings outstanding as of October 3, 2025, a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 1% would have increased annualized interest expense by approximately $6.0 million.

Exchange Rate Risk

We have manufacturing sites throughout the world and sell our products globally. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. Dollar and against the currencies of other countries in which we manufacture and sell products and services. During the nine months ended October 2, 2026, approximately 78% of our sales were derived from operations outside the United States. We have significant manufacturing operations in European countries that are not part of the Eurozone. Sales are more highly weighted toward the Euro and U.S. Dollar. We also have significant contractual obligations in U.S. Dollars that are met with cash flows in other currencies as well as U.S. Dollars. To better match revenue and expense as well as cash needs from contractual liabilities, we regularly enter into currency swaps and forward contracts.

We also face exchange rate risk from our investments in subsidiaries owned and operated in foreign countries. The effect of a change in currency exchange rates on our net investment in international subsidiaries is reflected in the AOCL component of Equity. A 10% depreciation in major currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar as of October 2, 2026 would result in a reduction in Equity of approximately $218 million. A 10% depreciation in major currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar as of October 3, 2025 would have resulted in a reduction in Equity of approximately $240 million. As of October 2, 2026, we have eight fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps, which are expected to provide a hedge to a portion of our European net asset position. See Note 10, “Derivatives” in our Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

We also face exchange rate risk from intercompany transactions between affiliates. Although we use the U.S. Dollar as our functional currency for reporting purposes, we have manufacturing sites throughout the world, and a substantial portion of our costs are incurred and sales are generated in foreign currencies. Costs incurred and sales recorded by subsidiaries operating outside of the United States are translated into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. Dollar. Similarly, tax costs may increase or decrease as local currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. Dollar.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials used in our production processes. To manage commodity price risk, we periodically enter into fixed price contracts directly with suppliers.
