Working capital is comprised of accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and deferred revenue.

2

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important measure of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners, and is useful information for investors. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company’s common stock and business acquisitions, among other items.

T3On April 6, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing (“CAM”) business. Based on management’s commitment to sell this business, the assets and liabilities related to CAM were classified as held for sale on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 3, 2026. For the three months ended July 4, 2026, the net sales and segment profit for Engineered Fastening did not include results of the CAM business. For the six months ended July 4, 2026, net sales and segment profit for Engineered Fastening included $117.0 million and $22.0 million, respectively, related to the CAM business.

2

Segment profit is defined as net sales minus cost of sales and SG&A (aside from corporate overhead expenses). The corporate overhead element of SG&A, which is not allocated to the business segments for purposes of determining segment profit, consists of the costs associated with the executive management team and expenses related to centralized functions that benefit the entire Company but are not directly attributable to the business segments, such as legal and corporate finance functions, as well as expenses for the world headquarters facility.

EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding certain gains and charges, as summarized above. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both Non-GAAP measures, are considered relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the Company’s operating results and ensures appropriate comparability to prior periods.

Footprint Rationalization costs in 2026 primarily relate to accelerated depreciation of manufacturing equipment driven by plants closed in the second quarter of 2026, as well as site transformation and re-configuration costs. Footprint Rationalization costs in 2025 primarily relate to site transformation and re-configuration costs. Facility exit costs related to site closures are reported in Restructuring charges.

3

In June 2025, the Company implemented a voluntary retirement program (“VRP”) to right-size the Company’s corporate and support functions to align with a more focused portfolio following recent divestitures and more streamlined operations as part of the supply chain transformation.

4

Complexity Reduction & Operational Excellence costs in 2025 primarily related to third-party consulting fees to provide expertise in identifying business model changes and quantifying related cost savings opportunities within the Company’s Engineered Fastening business, developing a detailed program and related governance, and assisting the Company with the implementation of actions necessary to achieve the identified objectives.

Non-GAAP Organic Growth, as reconciled to GAAP Revenue Growth above, is utilized to describe the change in the Company’s net sales excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions during their initial 12 months of ownership, divestitures, transfers of product lines between segments, and the strategic transition to a licensing model for gas walk-behind outdoor product lines (as previously communicated). Organic growth is also referred to as organic sales growth and organic revenue growth.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
