EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Overview

We are a global power leader committed to powering a more prosperous world. Since 1919, we have delivered innovative solutions that move people, goods and economies forward. Our five reportable segments - Engine, Components, Distribution, Power Systems and Accelera - offer a broad portfolio, including advanced diesel, electric and hybrid powertrains; integrated power generation systems; critical components such as aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls, transmissions, axles and brakes; and zero emissions technologies like battery and electric powertrain systems. With a global footprint, deep technical expertise and an extensive service network, we deliver dependable, cutting-edge solutions tailored to our customers' needs, supporting them through the energy transition with our Destination Zero strategy.

We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc., Traton Group, Daimler Trucks AG and Stellantis N.V. We serve our customers through a service network of approximately 640 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and more than 13,000 Cummins certified dealer locations in approximately 190 countries and territories.

Our segment reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and smaller) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture, power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Components segment sells axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems for commercial diesel and natural gas applications, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, fuel systems, valvetrain technologies, automated transmissions and electronics. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products, maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world and providing selected sales and aftermarket support for our Accelera business.

The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells standby and prime power generators, engines (16 liters and larger) for standby and prime power generator sets and industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine, rail and defense), alternators and other power components. The Accelera segment designs, manufactures, sells and supports electrified power systems with innovative components and subsystems, including battery and electric powertrain technologies. The Accelera segment is currently in the early stages of commercializing these technologies with efforts primarily focused on the development of electrified power systems and related components and subsystems. We continue to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end customers.

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve, particularly the on-highway, off-highway, power generation and general industrial markets. Demand in these markets tends to fluctuate in response to overall economic conditions. Our sales may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels, production schedules, stoppages and supply chain challenges. Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reduced sales of our products and can result in price reductions in certain products and/or markets. As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by geopolitical risks, currency fluctuations, political and economic uncertainty, tariffs and related trade disruptions, public health crises (epidemics or pandemics) and regulatory matters, including adoption and enforcement of environmental and emission standards.

As part of our growth strategy, we invest in businesses in certain countries that carry higher levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India, Mexico and other countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped

limit the impact from a drop in demand in any one industry, region, customer or the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.

Global Trade Environment

As disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, we operate our business on a global basis and changes in international, national and regional trade laws, regulations and policies affecting and/or restricting international trade, including higher tariffs, trade disruptions (such as embargoes, sanctions and export controls) and broader geopolitical tensions, could adversely impact the demand for our products and our competitive position. In 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs on certain countries and products, which was followed by retaliatory tariffs and other trade actions against U.S. goods and services. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that U.S. tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) on goods imported into the U.S. were unauthorized.

After this ruling, new tariffs were subsequently imposed under different statutes. The global trade environment has contributed to ongoing market volatility and heightened concerns about potential economic impacts. Our primary risks include reduced global movement of goods impacting freight activity, increased costs for suppliers and end-users and uncertainty around supply availability. These factors could lead to a decline in business confidence, reduced demand for our products and increased product costs. We continue to pursue mitigation strategies, including engaging with our suppliers, exploring alternative sourcing and negotiating agreements with our customers to recover tariff-related costs. The financial impact of tariffs, net of mitigation actions and U.S. government tariff refunds (net of amounts to be returned to customers), was immaterial to our profitability and operating cash flows during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

However, continued and increasing tariff costs, the effectiveness of our mitigation efforts and ongoing market volatility could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in the future. We continue to monitor developments and take actions to minimize the related impacts to our business to the extent possible. See the “OUTLOOK” section for a discussion of the potential tariff impacts for the remainder of 2026.

Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. was $932 million, or $6.73 per diluted share, on sales of $9.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins Inc. of $890 million, or $6.43 per diluted share, on sales of $8.6 billion. The increases in net income attributable to Cummins Inc. and earnings per diluted share were primarily driven by higher sales leading to improved gross margin, partially offset by higher compensation costs. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2026, benefited $0.01 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. was $1.6 billion, or $11.44 per diluted share, on sales of $17.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins Inc. of $1.7 billion, or $12.38 per diluted share, on sales of $16.8 billion. The decreases in net income attributable to Cummins Inc. and earnings per diluted share were primarily driven by the loss on sale of business and settlement of current and future customer obligations as well as higher compensation costs, partially offset by higher sales leading to improved gross margin and favorable currency fluctuations (mainly in the Euro and Brazilian real).

Diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2026, benefited $0.03 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to stock repurchase programs. See NOTE 14, “REPORTABLE SEGMENTS,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on loss on sale of business and settlement of current and future customer obligations.

Worldwide revenues increased by 9 percent in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher demand for power generation equipment, especially in data center applications, and in international construction markets. International sales (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved 12 percent mainly due to higher sales in China and Asia Pacific. The increase in international sales was primarily due to higher demand for power generation equipment and in construction markets as well as favorable foreign currency fluctuations of 2 percent (primarily the Chinese renminbi and Euro). Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved 8 percent driven by higher demand for power generation equipment and medium-duty trucks.

Worldwide revenues increased by 6 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, mainly due to higher demand for power generation equipment, especially in data center and commercial applications, and in international construction markets, partially offset by lower demand in most on-highway markets. International sales (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved 14 percent primarily due to higher sales in China, Europe and Asia Pacific. The increase in international sales was driven by higher demand for power generation equipment and in construction markets as well as favorable foreign currency fluctuations of 4 percent (primarily the Euro and Chinese renminbi). Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved 1 percent mainly due to higher demand for power generation equipment, partially offset by lower demand in most on-highway markets.

The following tables contain sales and EBITDA (defined as earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests) by reportable segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. See NOTE 14, “REPORTABLE SEGMENTS,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

(1) In the first quarter of 2026, we sold our low pressure fuel cell business to a customer, cancelled future commitments and resolved certain claims against us with that customer resulting in a net payment by us of $175 million. These transactions resulted in a net charge of $199 million which is reflected in other operating expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

2026 Highlights

We generated $1,808 million in cash from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $782 million for the comparable period in 2025. See the section titled “Cash Flows” in the “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.

Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at June 30, 2026, was 35.6 percent, compared to 36.0 percent at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to an increased equity balance from strong earnings since December 31, 2025, partially offset by a higher total debt balance at June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026, we had $3.9 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and access to our $4.0 billion credit facilities (net of $348 million of commercial paper outstanding), if necessary, to meet working capital, investment, acquisition and funding needs.

In July 2026, the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 10 percent from $2.00 per share to $2.20 per share.

In the first half of 2026, we repurchased $468 million, or 0.8 million shares, of common stock.

In the first half of 2026, we entered into a series of interest rates swaps to convert $350 million of our senior notes, due in 2054, from a fixed rate of 5.45 percent to a floating rate equal to the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a spread. See NOTE 13, “DERIVATIVES,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On March 31, 2026, we sold our low pressure fuel cell business to a customer, cancelled future commitments and resolved certain claims against us with that customer resulting in a net payment by us of $175 million. These transactions resulted in a net charge of $199 million, which is reflected in other operating expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

As of the date of this filing, our credit ratings and outlooks from the credit rating agencies remain unchanged. See the section titled “Credit Ratings” in the “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” section for our current ratings.

REPORTABLE SEGMENT RESULTS

Our reportable segments consist of the Engine, Components, Distribution, Power Systems and Accelera segments. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBITDA as the basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.

See NOTE 14, “REPORTABLE SEGMENTS,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

Tariff related costs and recoveries were evaluated independently of all other drivers included in the disclosures below and all references to “price” and “material cost” variances exclude these separately evaluated tariff costs and recoveries. The net impact of tariff costs and related recoveries were immaterial to each reportable segment's EBITDA, unless specifically noted.

Following is a discussion of results for each of our reportable segments.

Accelera segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased $40 million versus the comparable period in 2025, mainly due to higher sales for electrified powertrains and electrolyzers.

Accelera segment sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased $38 million versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to improved sales of electrolyzers and favorable foreign currency fluctuations related mainly to the Euro.

In the first quarter of 2026, we sold our low pressure fuel cell business to a customer, cancelled future commitments and resolved certain claims against us with that customer resulting in a net payment by us of $175 million. These transactions resulted in a net charge of $199 million which is reflected in other operating expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

OUTLOOK

T3The global trade environment, characterized by tariffs, export controls and broader geopolitical tensions, has created significant market volatility while introducing uncertainty around future demand for capital goods as well as potential impacts to our supply chain and our related product costs. Given the breadth, severity and uncertain duration of these global trade measures, our outlook presented below could be negatively impacted by policy-driven volatility. We are proactively taking steps in our supply chain to mitigate impacts where possible and we are working with our customers to pass through incremental costs.

2026 Outlook

Our outlook reflects the following positive trends and challenges to our business that could impact our revenue and earnings potential in 2026.

Positive Trends

•We expect demand within markets served by our Power Systems business to remain strong, including the power generation and industrial markets.

•We anticipate our aftermarket business will remain stable, driven primarily by demand in our Engine and Power Systems businesses.

•We expect strong demand for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks in North America to continue for the remainder of 2026.

Challenges

•Increases in costs, tariffs, as well as other inflationary pressures, could negatively impact earnings.

•The potential for trade disruptions (including embargoes, sanctions, export controls and the ongoing conflict in Iran) could cause disruptions in production, further increases in the price of oil and other inputs and could negatively impact earnings.

•The slower adoption of zero-emission solutions reduced Accelera’s near-term revenue outlook, prompting significant restructuring actions in 2024 and 2025 and a refined strategic investment approach. While we anticipate these actions will gradually improve the cost structure, we expect ongoing investments in priority technologies to result in continued near-term operating losses.

Table of Contents

Current Regulatory Challenges For 2026 and Beyond

•Changes in government policies (such as reduced incentives, delayed infrastructure mandates or revised emissions standards) may impact Accelera’s ability to compete, scale or recover investments in zero-emission technologies.

•Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emissions, including greenhouse gas (GHG) standards set by the EPA and fuel consumption standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). To comply with these regulations, we utilize banking and trading of regulatory compliance credits. In June 2025, NHTSA published an interpretive rule questioning the current regulatory framework of allowing credits as a compliance vehicle. In July 2025, the EPA published a proposed rule that would repeal GHG emissions standards and thus remove the requirement for vehicle and engine manufacturers to measure, control and report these emissions from vehicles. T4In February 2026, the EPA finalized the rescission of the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding and repealed all GHG emission standards for on-highway vehicles and engines with an effective date of April 20, 2026.

NHTSA rules currently still allow credits as a compliance vehicle. Depending on NHTSA's future rulemaking as indicated by the June 2025 interpretive rule, we may no longer utilize emission compliance credits on future engines sales and the credits could have a minimal, if any value to us. While the rules will likely be subject to legal challenges, in the period NHTSA finalizes a rule, we could be required to incur a non-cash expense up to the value of our existing credits. At June 30, 2026, we had $89 million of GHG emission compliance credits.

•We are navigating a dynamic regulatory environment in the U.S. that could impact future product launches and we are actively engaged with customers, regulators and suppliers to ensure product development and certification requirements are met while delivering high-quality, dependable products that align with customer needs.

•On July 1, 2026, the U.S. declined to extend the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The U.S. is reportedly negotiating new terms with Canada and Mexico that would either maintain the current tri-lateral agreement structure or form new, bi-lateral agreements with each country. We are actively monitoring negotiations, but are currently unable to determine how future agreement revisions may impact our business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Key Working Capital and Balance Sheet Data

We fund our working capital with cash from operations and short-term borrowings, including commercial paper, when necessary. Various assets and liabilities, including short-term debt, can fluctuate significantly from month-to-month depending on short-term liquidity needs. As a result, working capital is a prime focus of management's attention. Working capital and balance sheet measures are provided in the following table:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1,026 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to lower working capital requirements of $970 million. The lower working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $377 million compared to a cash outflow of $1,347 million in the comparable period of 2025, mainly due to favorable changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by unfavorable changes in inventories.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $186 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to lower net investments in marketable securities.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $1,465 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to lower proceeds from borrowings of $1,826 million and higher repurchases of common stock of $468 million, partially offset by lower payments of commercial paper of $901 million.

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, declined $61 million primarily due to unfavorable fluctuations in the British pound and Euro.

(2) The 5-year credit facility for $2.0 billion and the 3-year credit facility for $2.0 billion, maturing June 2030 and June 2028, respectively, are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2026, we had $348 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced our available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.7 billion.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

A significant portion of our cash flow is generated outside the U.S. We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our operating needs with local resources.

49

Table of Contents

If we distribute our foreign cash balances to the U.S. or to other foreign subsidiaries, we could be required to accrue and pay withholding taxes, for example, if we repatriated cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings we asserted are completely or partially permanently reinvested. Foreign earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment outside the U.S. consist primarily of earnings of our China, India, Canada (including underlying subsidiaries) and Netherlands domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment. However, to help fund cash needs of the U.S. or other international subsidiaries as they arise, we repatriate available cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are not completely permanently reinvested when cost effective to do so.

Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity

Our committed credit facilities provide access up to $4.0 billion from our $2.0 billion 3-year credit facility and our $2.0 billion 5-year facility. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. We intend to maintain credit facilities at the current or higher aggregate amounts by renewing or replacing these facilities at or before expiration. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at June 30, 2026.

Our committed credit facilities also provide access up to $4.0 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board authorized commercial paper programs. These programs facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third-party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facilities and commercial paper programs should not exceed $4.0 billion. At June 30, 2026, we had $348 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced our available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.7 billion. See NOTE 9, “DEBT,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

In the first half of 2026, we entered into a series of interest rates swaps to convert $350 million of our senior notes, due in 2054, from a fixed rate of 5.45 percent to a floating rate equal to the daily SOFR plus a spread. See NOTE 13, “DERIVATIVES,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 13, 2025. Under this shelf registration we may offer, from time-to-time, debt securities, common stock, preferred and preference stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.

Supply Chain Financing

We currently have supply chain financing programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain vendors the option to be paid by financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. When a vendor utilizes the program and receives an early payment from a financial intermediary, they take a discount on the invoice. We then pay the financial intermediary the face amount of the invoice on the original due date, which generally have 60 to 90 day payment terms. The maximum amount that we could have outstanding under these programs was $564 million at June 30, 2026. We do not reimburse vendors for any costs they incur for participation in the program; their participation is completely voluntary and there are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the finance provider or intermediary.

As a result, all amounts owed to the financial intermediaries are presented as accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount due to the financial intermediaries reflected in accounts payable at June 30, 2026, was $171 million.

Accounts Receivable Sales Program

In May 2024, we entered into an accounts receivable sales agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., to sell certain accounts receivable up to the Board approved limit of $500 million. There was no activity under the program during the six months ended June 30, 2026. This agreement expired in July 2026 and was not renewed.

Uses of Cash

Dividends

We paid dividends of $552 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. T5In July 2026, the Board authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 10 percent from $2.00 per share to $2.20 per share.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were $438 million versus $393 million in the comparable period in 2025. We continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend an estimated $1.35 billion to $1.45 billion in 2026 on capital expenditures with approximately 60 percent of these expenditures expected to be invested in North America.

Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt

We had $348 million of commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2026, that matures in less than one year. Required annual long-term debt principal payments range from $63 million to $864 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2026). See NOTE 9, “DEBT,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Stock Repurchases

In December 2021, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the $2.0 billion repurchase plan authorized in 2019, which was completed in the first quarter of 2026. In the first six months of June 30, 2026, we made the following purchases under our stock repurchase programs:

Settlement of Current and Future Customer Obligations

In the first quarter of 2026, we sold our low pressure fuel cell business to a customer, cancelled future commitments and resolved certain claims against us with that customer resulting in a net payment by us of $175 million. See NOTE 14, “REPORTABLE SEGMENTS,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Pensions

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 112 percent funded at December 31, 2025. Our U.S. defined benefit plans (qualified and non-qualified), which represented approximately 70 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, were 115 percent funded, and our U.K. defined benefit plans were 105 percent funded at December 31, 2025. The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. In the first six months of 2026, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trust was 4.3 percent, while our U.K. pension trusts' gain was 0.7 percent.

We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2026 of $23 million for our U.S. and U.K. qualified and non-qualified pension plans. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2026 annual net periodic pension cost to approximate $75 million.

Management's Assessment of Liquidity

Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Our solid balance sheet and credit ratings enable us to have ready access to credit and the capital markets. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities in combination with access to our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper programs as noted above. We believe our access to the capital markets, our existing cash and marketable securities, operating cash flow and revolving credit facilities provide us with the financial flexibility needed to fund dividend payments, targeted capital expenditures, debt service obligations, common stock repurchases, projected pension obligations, joint venture contributions and acquisitions through 2026 and beyond.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in NOTE 1, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2025 Form 10-K, which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that often require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and the change would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our senior management has discussed the development and selection of our accounting policies, related accounting estimates and the disclosures set forth below with the Audit Committee of the Board. Our critical accounting estimates disclosed in the Form 10-K address estimating liabilities for warranty programs, assessing goodwill impairment and accounting for income taxes and pension benefits.

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2025 Form 10-K under the caption “APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.” Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first six months of 2026.
