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.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Industrial segment was renamed “Engineered Fastening” as a result of a more focused portfolio following recent divestitures. The Engineered Fastening segment name change is to the name only and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or segment results. The 2024 amounts shown above for the Engineered Fastening segment include the results of the Infrastructure business through the date of sale of April 1, 2024.

2

T1In December 2025, the Company announced a definitive agreement to sell 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 year ended January 3, 2026, net sales and segment profit for Engineered Fastening included $413.9 million and $31.3 million, respectively, related to the CAM business.

3

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 primarily relate to site transformation and re-configuration costs of $35.4 million and $45.2 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, as well as accelerated depreciation of manufacturing and distribution center equipment of $48.9 million in 2024. Facility exit costs related to site closures are reported in Restructuring charges.

3

T2In 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.

6

Deal-related costs and other in 2025 include an $8.1 million gain on sale of a distribution center as part of the supply chain transformation and a $14.3 million gain related to a favorable patent infringement settlement, partially offset by deal costs associated with the announced divestiture of the CAM business.

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.
