2 Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by sales. Adjusted operating income is derived by excluding the adjusted items. |
3 Adjusted EPS excludes realignment expenses, the impact from other specific discrete and below-the-line foreign currency effects and utilizes the then-applicable FX rates and fully diluted shares. Adjusted 2026 EPS excludes certain other discrete items which may arise during the year. |
4 Transaction excludes Trillium Valves’ French operations. |
5 Organic is defined as the change in Sales, as defined by U.S. GAAP, excluding the impacts of currency translation and acquisitions. The impact of currency translation is calculated by translating current year results on a monthly basis at prior year exchange rates for the same period. |
6 Cash from Operations for the fourth quarter 2025 includes a ($199) million one-time impact from legacy asbestos liabilities divestiture. Cash from Operations for the full year 2025 includes the impact of a $173 million one-time merger termination fee paid to Flowserve (net of incurred transaction costs and taxes) and a ($199) million one-time impact from legacy asbestos liabilities divestiture. |

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods, providing investors with a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
