Trends and Economic Events
We are a global corporation with worldwide operations. As a global business, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic factors as well as geopolitical, environmental and social factors wherever we operate or do business. Our geographic diversity and the breadth of our products and services portfolios have helped mitigate the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results.
Given our broad range of products manufactured and geographic markets served, management uses a variety of factors to predict the outlook for the Company. We monitor key competitors and customers in order to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future. We regularly perform detailed evaluations of the different market segments we serve to proactively detect trends and to adapt our strategies accordingly, including potential triggers and actions to be taken under recessionary and other macroeconomic scenarios. In addition, we believe our backlog and order levels are indicative of future revenue and thus are a key measure of anticipated performance.
Conditions remain mixed across our served end markets and geographies. Overall Commercial HVAC markets in Americas and Europe remain strong due to demand for our differentiated customer driven solutions and the benefits of installing energy efficient products and decarbonizing the built environment. In Asia, markets remain dynamic, with weak macro-economic conditions driving soft demand in China balanced by strong demand in the rest of Asia. Transport refrigeration markets continue to experience weaker demand. Residential markets in the United States are improving, while uncertainties remain from economic risks and higher interest rates.
Our performance may be impacted by future developments that are uncertain. Geopolitical risks and macroeconomic developments, including changes in global trade policies, tariffs and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East could cause disruptions to operations, supply chains, end markets, financial markets and overall economic conditions which could negatively impact our business.
We continue to monitor macroeconomic indicators and uncertainties resulting from the tariffs and other trade protection measures announced and implemented by the United States, as well as the tariffs imposed by other countries in response. These global trade policy changes continue to be dynamic, and the geopolitical environment in the Middle East is unstable as a result of the current conflict. As a result, we may experience supply chain challenges, commodity cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty. We believe our business operating system, our in-region for region strategy, and strength in execution will enable us to navigate potential risks stemming from these recent events.
We believe we have a solid foundation of global brands that are highly differentiated in all of our major product lines. Our geographic mix, our diverse portfolio, and our large installed product base, provide growth opportunities from replacement demand and within our service revenue streams. Additionally, we are investing substantial resources to innovate and develop new products and services which we expect to drive future growth.

Results of Operations
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Organic Revenue
We define organic revenue as net revenues adjusted for the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures. Organic revenue is not defined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP. Selected references are made to revenue growth on an organic basis so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impacts of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and acquisitions, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during both periods presented. We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues in both periods presented.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, merger and acquisition transaction costs, non-cash adjustment for contingent consideration, unallocated corporate expenses, discontinued operations and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and ratios based on it, are used in the development of annual operating plans, including capital expenditure and operational budgets, and in measuring performance against targets for purposes of incentive compensation. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also provides a useful tool for assessing the operating performance and comparability between periods and our ability to generate cash because it excludes the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items that can vary significantly from period to period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results as determined in accordance with GAAP.
Segment Adjusted Operating Income
We define Segment Adjusted Operating Income as operating income adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, merger and acquisition transaction costs, non-cash adjustment for contingent consideration and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted Operating Income, and ratios based on it, are used to provide a comprehensive view of segment profitability and evaluate efficient returns on assets. Segment Adjusted Operating Income also provides a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods because it eliminates non-recurring items that can vary from period to period. Segment Adjusted Operating Income is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Net Revenues
Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by 10.6%, or $607.1 million, compared with the same period in 2025, which resulted from the following:
Volume 8.7 %
Pricing 0.3 %
Organic revenue (1) 9.0 %
Acquisitions 1.2 %
Currency translation 0.4 %
Total 10.6 %
(1) Represents a non-GAAP measure. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by higher volumes as a result of stronger end-customer demand within our Americas and Asia segments, realization of price increases, incremental revenue from acquisitions, and a favorable impact from foreign currency translation. Refer to the "Results by Segment" below for a discussion of Net revenues by segment.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased 200 basis points to 35.6% compared to 37.6% for the same period of 2025 primarily due to inflation and investments, partially offset by productivity and price realization.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by 3.9%, or $39.0 million, compared with the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily due to human capital costs related to investing in our people, higher sales commissions, incremental selling and administrative expenses of acquired businesses and higher levels of business reinvestment. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased 100 basis points from 17.3% to 16.3%.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 our effective tax rate was 18.8% and 19.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to earnings that in the aggregate have a higher statutory tax rate, U.S. federal, state and local income taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments, and U.S. federal research and development tax credits. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to earnings that in the aggregate have a higher statutory tax rate, U.S. federal, state and local income taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments and a non-taxable adjustment for contingent consideration.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 - Segment Results

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns, capital expenditure commitments and income tax payments. Our cash requirements primarily consist of the following:
•Business reinvestment
•Funding of working capital
•Debt service requirements
•Funding of capital expenditures
•Dividend payments
•Funding of acquisitions, joint ventures and equity investments
•Share repurchases
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash balances on hand, cash flows from operations, proceeds from debt offerings, commercial paper, and borrowing availability under our existing credit facilities. We earn a significant amount of our operating income in jurisdictions where it is deemed to be permanently reinvested. Our most prominent jurisdiction of operation is the U.S. We expect existing cash and cash equivalents available to the U.S. operations, the cash generated by our U.S. operations, our committed credit lines as well as our expected ability to access the capital and debt markets will be sufficient to fund our U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. In addition, we expect existing non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents and the cash generated by our non-U.S. operations will be sufficient to fund our non-U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, under the commercial paper program is $2.0 billion. As of June 30, 2026, we had $400.0 million of commercial paper outstanding.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $1,318.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, of which $1,191.5 million was held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally available for use in our U.S. operations via intercompany loans, equity infusions or via distributions from direct or indirectly owned non-U.S. subsidiaries for which we do not assert permanent reinvestment. In general, repatriation of cash to the U.S. can be completed with no significant incremental U.S. tax. However, to the extent that we repatriate funds from non-U.S. subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment to fund our U.S. operations, we would be required to accrue and pay applicable non-U.S. taxes. As of June 30, 2026, we currently have no plans to repatriate funds from subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment.
Share repurchases are made in accordance with our balanced capital allocation strategy, subject to market conditions and regulatory requirements. In December 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 billion of our ordinary shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased and canceled $756.4 million of our ordinary shares, which left $4.0 billion remaining under the program. Additionally, during the period after June 30, 2026 through July 30, 2026, we repurchased approximately $172 million of our ordinary shares under the program.
We expect to pay a competitive and growing dividend. Starting with the first quarter 2026 dividend, our Board of Directors declared an increase in our quarterly share dividend by 12%, from $0.94 to $1.05 per ordinary share, or $3.76 to $4.20 per share annualized. The first and second quarter 2026 dividends were declared and paid during the six months ended June 30, 2026, and the third quarter 2026 dividend was declared on June 5, 2026 to be paid in September 2026. Since the launch of Trane Technologies in March 2020, we have increased our quarterly share dividend by 98%.
We continue to actively manage and strengthen our business portfolio to meet the current and future needs of our customers. We achieve this partly through engaging in research and development and sustaining activities and partly through acquisitions. Sustaining activities include costs incurred to reduce production costs, improve existing products, create custom solutions for customers and provide support to our manufacturing facilities. Each year, we make investments in new product development and new technology innovation as they are key factors in achieving our strategic objectives as a leader in the climate sector. In addition, we make investments in technology and business for our operational sustainability programs. Our research and development and sustaining costs account for approximately 2% of annual Net revenues.
In pursuing our business strategy, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate targets and enter into agreements regarding possible acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and equity investments. We have acquired several businesses, entered into joint ventures and invested in companies that complement existing products and services further enhancing our product portfolio. We paid approximately $742 million in cash for acquisitions and equity method investments completed during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

We incur costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to result in improved operating performance, profitability and working capital levels. Actions associated with these initiatives may include workforce reductions, improving manufacturing productivity, realignment of management structures and rationalizing certain assets. We believe that our existing cash balances, anticipated cash flow from operations, committed credit lines and access to the capital markets will be sufficient to fund share repurchases, dividends, research and development, sustaining activities, business portfolio changes and ongoing restructuring actions.
Certain of our subsidiaries entered into funding agreements with Aldrich and Murray pursuant to which those subsidiaries are obligated, among other things, to pay the costs and expenses of Aldrich and Murray during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases to the extent distributions from their respective subsidiaries are insufficient to do so and to provide an amount for the funding for a trust established pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code (the Section 524(g) Trust), to the extent that the other assets of Aldrich and Murray are insufficient to provide the requisite trust funding. During the third quarter of 2021, Aldrich and Murray filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to create a $270 million qualified settlement fund (QSF). The funds held in the QSF would be available to provide funding for the Section 524(g) Trust upon effectiveness of the agreed-to plan of reorganization. On January 27, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted the request to fund the QSF, which was funded on March 2, 2022.

Debt and Credit Facilities
As of June 30, 2026, our short-term obligations consist of fixed rate debentures and commercial paper. The fixed rate debentures totaling $293.1 million contain a put feature that the holders may exercise on each anniversary of the issuance date. If exercised, we are obligated to repay in whole or in part, at the holder's option, the outstanding principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) of the debentures held by the holder. In accordance with notice requirements as specified in the offering documents, holders had the option to exercise puts up to $37.2 million for settlement in February 2026 but did not exercise such option. In October 2026, in accordance with notice requirements as specified in the offering documents, holders will have the option to elect to exercise puts up to $256.0 million for settlement in November 2026. We also maintain a commercial paper program which is used for general corporate purposes. Under the program, the maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, is $2.0 billion. We had $400.0 million of commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2026. We had no commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2025. See Note 6, "Debt and Credit Facilities," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of our short-term obligations.
Our long-term obligations primarily consist of long-term debt with final maturity dates ranging between 2027 and 2049. In addition, we maintain two senior unsecured revolving credit facilities totaling $2.5 billion, consisting of a $1.0 billion facility maturing in May 2030 and a $1.5 billion facility maturing in April 2031. The Facilities provide support for our commercial paper program and can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Total commitments of $2.5 billion were unused at June 30, 2026 and $2.0 billion were unused at December 31, 2025. See Note 6, "Debt and Credit Facilities," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and further below in Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information for additional information regarding the terms of our long-term obligations and their related guarantees.

Net cash provided by (used in) continuing investing activities (902.3) (486.0)
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing financing activities (1,243.2) (1,480.9)
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1,734.6 million, of which Net earnings provided $1,797.6 million after adjusting for non-cash transactions. Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,043.5 million, of which Net earnings provided $1,656.5 million after adjusting for non-cash transactions. The year-over-year increase in net cash from continuing operating activities was primarily due to lower working capital and timing of customer down payments.
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities represent inflows and outflows regarding the purchase and sale of assets. Primary activities associated with these items include capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, acquisitions, funding of joint ventures and other equity investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $902.3 million. The primary drivers of the usage were attributable to capital expenditures of $156.1 million and acquisitions of businesses and equity method investments of $742.0 million, net of cash acquired. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $486.0 million. The primary drivers of the usage were attributable to capital expenditures of $208.8 million and acquisitions of businesses of $277.2 million, net of cash acquired.
Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities represent inflows and outflows that account for external activities affecting equity and debt. Primary activities associated with these actions include paying dividends to shareholders, repurchasing our own shares, net proceeds from debt issuances and proceeds from shares issued in connection with incentive plans. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $1,243.2 million. The primary drivers of the outflow related to the repurchase of $756.4 million in ordinary shares, dividends paid to ordinary shareholders of $463.2 million, and the repayment of $400.0 million of 3.500% Senior Notes which matured in March 2026, partially offset by borrowings from commercial paper, net of interest, during the period of $398.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $1,480.9 million. The primary drivers of the outflow related to the repurchase of $879.6 million in ordinary shares, dividends paid to ordinary shareholders of $420.0 million, and the repayment of $157.3 million of Debentures that matured in June 2025.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and defined as Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures, cash payments for restructuring, legacy legal liability and merger and acquisition (M&A) transaction costs. This measure is useful to management and investors because it is consistent with management's assessment of our operating cash flow performance. The most comparable GAAP measure to free cash flow is Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

Pensions
Our investment objective in managing defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations are met as they come due. We seek to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contribution and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. We use a dynamic approach to asset allocation to increase fixed income assets as the plan's funded status improves. We monitor plan funded status and asset allocation regularly in addition to investment manager performance.
In addition, we monitor the impact of market conditions on our defined benefit plans on a regular basis. None of our defined benefit pension plans have experienced a significant impact on their liquidity due to market volatility. The Company currently projects that it will contribute a total of approximately $84 million to our pension plans worldwide in 2026, a portion of which may be funded by assets held in an employer-owned trust. The timing and amounts of future contributions are dependent upon the funding status of the plans, which is expected to vary as a result of changes in interest rates, returns on underlying assets, and other factors. See Note 9, "Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding pensions.

Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to the bankruptcy proceedings for Aldrich and Murray and environmental and product liability matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management believes that the liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in our results for the period in which they become known.
Management believes there have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2026, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
