Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026

• We estimate that we incurred costs before mitigation actions from the 2025 incremental tariff rates of approximately $50 million in 2025, and we implemented various actions to fully offset the effect of the current incremental tariffs in 2026.
• We distributed $3 million in refunds to our customers during the three months ended September 30, 2026, and we anticipate distributing additional refunds during the fourth quarter of 2026.
• In April 2026, the U.S. government also issued an update to the definition of Section 232 tariffs, which is not expected to have a significant effect on our ongoing tariff obligations.
• The provision for taxes is based upon our projected annual effective tax rate of 19.0% before non-recurring discrete tax items for the periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
• difference between our projected annual effective tax rate and the reported tax rate is related to the timing of excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises.
• We expect, but are not obligated, to terminate the plan and subsequently enter into a buy-out agreement to transfer responsibility for future benefit payments to an insurance company in 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and customary administrative procedures.
• We do not anticipate making a significant employer contribution to the plan related to the termination.
• Upon completion of the buy-out, we expect to recognize a one-time non-cash charge in net earnings related to the deferred actuarial loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
• We will receive proceeds of approximately $31 million, of which approximately $18 million is expected to offset future purchases of property, plant, and equipment and approximately $13 million is expected to offset future operating expenses.
• We expect to receive proceeds and make payments related to the agreement through 2030.
• Based on our outstanding debt at September 30, 2026, we estimate that a 5% weakening of the U.S. dollar against the currencies in which our debt is denominated would result in an increase of approximately $51.9 million in the reported U.S. dollar value of our debt.
