Gene Lowe, President and CEO, remarked, “We delivered another strong quarter, highlighted by robust revenue and earnings growth. HVAC continued to benefit from strong demand across key end markets, while Detection & Measurement delivered excellent profitability. Our results reflect the strength of our business model and the consistent execution of our teams.”

Mr. Lowe continued, “We also made meaningful progress across our strategic growth initiatives. Our HVAC capacity expansion projects remain on track to support approximately $1.1 billion of annual data center revenue capacity at full production, and we recently expanded our cooling platform through the acquisition of FIS Water, further strengthening our position in attractive adjacent markets.”

Mr. Lowe concluded, “Our updated guidance implies approximately 25% Adjusted EBITDA* growth at the midpoint for 2026, reflecting the momentum in our business and our confidence in the opportunities ahead.”

Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Financial Comparisons:

* Non-GAAP financial measure. See attached schedules for reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures to most comparable GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures is not practicable and, accordingly, is not provided.

Segment Overview:

HVAC

Third Quarter 2026
The revenue increase was primarily driven by:

• an organic increase due primarily to (i) higher volumes of cooling equipment, mainly associated with increased data center demand, resulting from increased capacity, and (ii) higher volumes of our heating products; and
• an inorganic increase from the acquisitions of Thermolec, Crawford, Neptronic and FIS Water. 

The segment income increase was due primarily to the revenue growth mentioned above. The decrease in segment margin was primarily due to (i) higher growth-related costs, largely labor and supply chain inefficiencies, associated with our volume increases and capacity expansion initiatives, and (ii) the impact of elevated input costs.

Detection and Measurement

Third Quarter 2026
The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by lower project volumes within our communications technologies business.

The segment income and segment margin increases were due primarily to (i) a more favorable product mix within our transportation and communication technologies businesses, and (ii) benefits related to our segment synergy initiatives, primarily within our location and inspection and rehabilitation businesses, partially offset by lower income resulting from the organic revenue decline noted above.

Non-GAAP Presentation: This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating income, adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations (or, adjusted EPS), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and margin, free cash flow from continuing operations and adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations (or, adjusted free cash flow). These non-GAAP financial measures do not provide investors with an accurate measure of, and should not be used as a substitute for, the comparable financial measures as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures, give investors a useful tool to assess and understand the Company’s overall financial performance, because they exclude items of income or expense that the Company believes are not reflective of its ongoing operating performance, allowing for a better period-to-period comparison of operations of the Company. Additionally, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as measures of the Company’s performance. The Company acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Refer to the tables included in this press release for the components of each of the non-GAAP financial measures, and for the reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to their respective comparable GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial guidance excludes items, which would be included in our GAAP financial measures, that we do not consider indicative of our on-going performance; and are calculated in a manner consistent with the presentation of the similarly titled historical non-GAAP measures presented in this press release. These items include, but are not limited to, intangible asset amortization expense, acquisition and integration-related costs, costs associated with dispositions, and potential non-cash income or expense items associated with changes in market interest rates and actuarial or other data related to our pension and postretirement plans, as the ultimate aggregate amounts associated with these items are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is not practicable. Full-year guidance excludes impacts from future acquisitions, dispositions and related transaction costs, incremental impacts of tariffs and trade tensions on market demand and costs subsequent to the date of this release, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes subsequent to September 26, 2026, and environmental and litigation charges.
