NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 4, 2026

A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as “generally accepted accounting principles" or "GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended April 4, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026, and subsequent related filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

On April 6, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced sale of 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 April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026. This divestiture does not qualify for discontinued operations and therefore, its results are included in the Company's continuing operations for all periods presented. The divestiture is a part of the Company's strategic commitment to simplify and streamline its portfolio to focus on the core businesses. Refer to Note Q, Divestitures, for further discussion.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the 2026 presentation.

B. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED — In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this update require disclosure and further disaggregation, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The required disclosures include the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities included in each relevant expense caption. Additionally, further disclosures are required for certain amounts already required to be disclosed under current GAAP, a qualitative description of amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and the total amount of selling expenses, and on an annual basis, the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

C. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table reconciles net earnings and the weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025:

Table of Contents


	Year-to-Date
		2026		2025
Numerator (in millions):


Net Earnings		$	59.6	$	90.4





Denominator (in thousands):
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	151,759	151,028
Dilutive effect of stock contracts and awards	630	671
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	152,389	151,699


Earnings per share of common stock:



Basic	$	0.39	$	0.60




Diluted	$	0.39	$	0.60

The following weighted-average stock options were not included in the computation of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):


	Year-to-Date
		2026	2025
Number of stock options		5,702	5,753

In March 2015, the Company entered into a forward share purchase contract with a financial institution counterparty for 3,645,510 shares of common stock. The contract obligates the Company to pay $350.0 million, plus an additional amount related to the forward component of the contract. In September 2025, the Company amended the forward share purchase contract and updated the final settlement date to June 2028, or earlier at the Company's option. The reduction of common shares outstanding was recorded at the inception of the forward share purchase contract in March 2015 and factored into the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding at that time.

D. ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE, NET


(Millions of Dollars)	April 4, 2026		January 3, 2026
Trade accounts receivable	$	1,284.0	$	775.0
Notes receivable	73.6		68.0
Other accounts receivable	155.7		145.3
Accounts and notes receivable	$	1,513.3	$	988.3
Allowance for credit losses	(74.9)		(68.6)
Accounts and notes receivable, net	$	1,438.4	$	919.7

Trade receivables are dispersed among a large number of retailers, distributors and industrial accounts in many countries. The Company actively manages its accounts receivable to maximize liquidity and mitigate credit risk through customer payment terms, accounts receivable sale programs, and ongoing customer credit monitoring and evaluations. Adequate reserves have been established to cover anticipated credit losses.

Table of Contents

The changes in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025 are as follows:


	Year-to-Date
(Millions of Dollars)		2026		2025
Beginning balance		$	68.6	$	84.7
Charged to costs and expenses		6.3		14.5
Other, including recoveries and deductions (a)		—		(8.1)
Balance end of period		$	74.9	$	91.1

(a) Amounts represent charge-offs less recoveries, the impacts of foreign currency translation, divestitures and net transfers to/from other accounts.

The Company's payment terms are generally consistent with the industries in which their businesses operate and typically range from 30-90 days globally. The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between transfer of the product and receipt of payment is less than one year. Any significant financing components for contracts greater than one year are included in revenue over time.

The Company has an accounts receivable sale program in which the Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivables at fair value to a wholly owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary (“BRS"). The BRS, in turn, can sell such receivables to a third-party financial institution (“Purchaser”) for cash. The Purchaser’s maximum cash investment in the receivables at any time is $110.0 million. At April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, net receivables of $77.1 million and $110.0 million, respectively, were derecognized. For the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, proceeds from transfers of receivables to the Purchaser totaled $76.2 million and $50.0 million, respectively, and payments to the Purchaser totaled $109.1 million and $84.2 million, respectively. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities. At April 4, 2026, the Company did not record a servicing asset or liability related to its retained responsibility based on its assessment of the servicing fee, market values for similar transactions and its cost of servicing the receivables sold. Transfers qualify as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and receivables are derecognized from the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon the sale of the receivables to the Purchaser. All cash flows are reported as a component of changes in working capital within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows since all the cash from the Purchaser is received upon the initial sale of the receivable.

As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company's deferred revenue totaled $86.4 million and $86.5 million, respectively, of which $29.5 million and $27.3 million, respectively, was classified as current. Revenue recognized for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025 that was previously deferred as of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024 totaled $6.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

Goodwill totaling $737.1 million and $739.4 million allocated to the CAM business was reclassified to assets held for sale as of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, respectively. Refer to Note Q, Divestitures, for further discussion of the CAM divestiture.

1Carrying values are net of unamortized discounts of $(3.9) million, deferred issuance costs of $(27.3) million, unamortized terminated swaps of $(18.8) million, and purchase accounting fair value adjustments of $4.3 million. Unamortized gain/(loss) associated with interest rate swaps are more fully discussed in Note H, Financial Instruments.

In March 2026, the Company redeemed its $500 million 3.40% notes, at maturity. In August 2025, the Company redeemed its $350 million 6.272% notes at par prior to maturity. The redemption was funded through the issuance of commercial paper. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $0.3 million from the redemption related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees.

The Company has a $3.5 billion commercial paper program which includes Euro denominated borrowings in addition to U.S. Dollars. As of April 4, 2026, the Company had commercial paper borrowings outstanding of $1.7 billion, of which $547.6 million in Euro denominated commercial paper was designated as a net investment hedge. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company utilized the vast majority of the net proceeds from the CAM divestiture to repay commercial paper borrowings. As of January 3, 2026, the Company had $605.6 million commercial paper borrowings outstanding, of which $555.6 million in Euro denominated commercial paper was designated as a net investment hedge. Refer to Note H, Financial Instruments, for further discussion.

In June 2024, the Company amended and restated its existing five-year $2.5 billion committed credit facility with the concurrent execution of a new five-year $2.25 billion committed credit facility (the “5-Year Credit Agreement”). Borrowings under the 5-Year Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling. A sub-limit of an amount equal to the Euro equivalent of $800.0 million is designated for swing line advances. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and specific terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 5-Year Credit Agreement by the earlier of June 28, 2029 or upon termination. The 5-Year Credit Agreement is designated to be a liquidity back-stop for the Company's $3.5 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company had not drawn on its five-year committed credit facility.

In June 2025, the Company terminated its 364-Day $1.25 billion committed credit facility ("the 2024 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement") dated June 2024. There were no outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement upon termination and as of December 28, 2024. Contemporaneously, the Company entered into a new $1.25 billion syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement (the "2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement") which is a revolving credit loan. The borrowings under the 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars or Euros and bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and pursuant to the terms of the 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of June 22, 2026 or upon termination. The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. The 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement serves as part of the liquidity back-stop for the Company’s $3.5 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company had not drawn on its 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement.

The 5-Year Credit Agreement and the 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement, as described above, contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to, maintenance of an interest coverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio tested for covenant compliance compares adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization to adjusted net Interest Expense ("Adjusted EBITDA"/"Adjusted Net Interest Expense"). The Company must maintain, for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company, an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.50 to 1.00, provided that the Company is only required to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 for any four fiscal quarter period ending on or before the end of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2026. For purposes of calculating the Company’s compliance with the interest coverage ratio, the Company is permitted to increase EBITDA by an amount equal to the Applicable Adjustment Addbacks (as defined in the 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement), provided that the sum of the Applicable Adjustment Addbacks incurred in any four consecutive fiscal quarter periods ending on or before the end of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2026 shall not exceed $250,000,000 in the aggregate.

H. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, stock prices and commodity prices. As part of the Company’s risk management program, a variety of financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps, purchased currency options, foreign exchange contracts and commodity contracts may be used to mitigate interest rate exposure, foreign currency exposure and commodity price exposure.

If the Company elects to do so and if the instrument meets the criteria specified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, management designates its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or net investment hedges. Generally, commodity price exposures are not hedged with derivative financial instruments and instead are actively managed through customer pricing initiatives, procurement-driven cost reduction initiatives and other productivity improvement projects. Financial instruments are not utilized for speculative purposes.

Table of Contents

A summary of the fair values of the Company’s derivatives recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026 is as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	Balance Sheet Classification	April 4, 2026		January 3, 2026		Balance Sheet Classification	April 4, 2026		January 3, 2026

Total		$	21.9	$	9.3		$	560.0	$	584.1

The counterparties to all of the above mentioned financial instruments are major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk for net exchanges under these agreements, but not for the notional amounts. The credit risk is limited to the asset amounts noted above. The Company limits its exposure and concentration of risk by contracting with diverse financial institutions and does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. The Company considers non-performance risk of its counterparties at each reporting period and adjusts the carrying value of these assets accordingly. The risk of default is considered remote. As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, there were no assets that had been posted as collateral related to the above mentioned financial instruments.

During the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, cash flows related to derivatives, including those that are separately discussed below, resulted in net cash paid of $18.5 million and net cash received of $1.3 million, respectively.

CASH FLOW HEDGES

There were after-tax mark-to-market losses of $29.7 million and $43.2 million as of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, respectively, reported for cash flow hedge effectiveness in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. An after-tax loss of $2.4 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings as the hedged transactions occur or as amounts are amortized within the next twelve months. The ultimate amount recognized will vary based on fluctuations of the hedged currencies and interest rates through the maturity dates.

The tables below detail pre-tax amounts of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in Accumulated other comprehensive loss during the periods in which the underlying hedged transactions affected earnings for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025:

After-tax losses of $2.7 million and after-tax gains of $0.9 million were reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings (inclusive of the gain/loss amortization on terminated derivative instruments) during the periods in which the underlying hedged transactions affected earnings for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.

Interest Rate Contracts: In prior years, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to obtain the lowest cost source of funds within a targeted range of variable to fixed-debt proportions. These swap agreements, which were designated as cash flow hedges, subsequently matured or were terminated and the gain/loss was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being amortized to interest expense. The cash flows stemming from the maturity or termination of the swaps were previously presented within financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company did not have any outstanding forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges.

Forward Contracts: Through its global businesses, the Company enters into transactions and makes investments denominated in multiple currencies that give rise to foreign currency risk. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly purchase inventory from subsidiaries with functional currencies different than their own, which creates currency-related volatility in the Company’s results of operations. The Company utilizes forward contracts to hedge these forecasted purchases and sales of inventory. Gains and losses reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss are recorded in Cost of sales as the hedged item affects earnings. There are no components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for these contracts. At April 4, 2026 and

Table of Contents

January 3, 2026, the notional value of forward currency contracts outstanding is $614.6 million and $598.3 million, respectively, maturing on various dates through 2027 and 2026, respectively. In April 2026, the Company entered into forward currency contracts with notional values totaling $85.0 million, maturing in 2027.

FAIR VALUE HEDGES

Interest Rate Risk: In an effort to optimize the mix of fixed versus floating rate debt in the Company’s capital structure, the Company enters into interest rate swaps. In prior years, the Company entered into interest rate swaps related to certain of its notes payable which were subsequently terminated. Amortization of the gain/loss on previously terminated swaps is reported in interest expense. Prior to termination, the changes in the fair value of the swaps and the offsetting changes in fair value related to the underlying notes were recognized in earnings. As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company did not have any active fair value interest rate swaps.

UNDESIGNATED HEDGES

Foreign Exchange Contracts: Foreign exchange forward contracts are used to reduce risks arising from the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (such as affiliate loans, payables and receivables). The objective is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on operating results. The total notional amount of the forward contracts outstanding is $1.5 billion as of April 4, 2026 and $1.4 billion as of January 3, 2026, maturing on various dates through 2026. The gain (loss) recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income from changes in the fair value related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025 is as follows:

K. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines, establishes a consistent framework for measuring, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs and significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 — Instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, stock prices and commodity prices. The Company holds various financial instruments to manage these risks. These financial instruments are carried at fair value and are included within the scope of ASC 820. The Company determines the fair value of these financial instruments through the use of matrix or model pricing, which utilizes observable inputs such as market interest and currency rates. When determining fair value for which Level 1 evidence does not exist, the Company considers various factors including the following: exchange or market price quotations of similar instruments, time value and volatility factors, the Company’s own credit rating and the credit rating of the counterparty.

Table of Contents

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for each of the hierarchy levels:



(Millions of Dollars)	Total Carrying Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Contingent consideration liability	$	109.5	$	—	$	—	$	109.5

The following table provides information about the Company's financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value:


	April 4, 2026				January 3, 2026
(Millions of Dollars)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Other investments	$	—	$	—	$	2.0	$	1.9
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	4,758.2	$	4,270.4	$	5,258.1	$	4,844.4

The money market fund and other investments related to the West Coast Loading Corporation ("WCLC") trust are considered Level 1 instruments within the fair value hierarchy. The deferred compensation plan investments are considered Level 1 instruments and are recorded at their quoted market price. The fair values of the derivative financial instruments in the table above are based on current settlement values.

The long-term debt instruments are considered Level 2 instruments and are measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s marginal borrowing rates. The differences between the carrying values and fair values of long-term debt are attributable to the stated interest rates differing from the Company's marginal borrowing rates. The fair values of the Company's variable rate short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values at April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026.

As part of the Craftsman® brand acquisition in March 2017, the Company recorded a contingent consideration liability representing the Company's obligation to make future payments to Transform Holdco, LLC, which operates Sears and Kmart retail locations, of between 2.5% and 3.5% on sales of Craftsman products in new Stanley Black & Decker channels through March 2032. During the three months ended April 4, 2026, the Company paid $7.2 million for royalties owed. The Company will continue making future payments quarterly through the second quarter of 2032. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis taking into consideration future sales projections, forecasted payments to Transform Holdco, LLC, based on contractual royalty rates, and the related tax impacts. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $105.2 million and $109.5 million as of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, respectively. Adjustments to the contingent consideration liability, with the exception of cash payments, are recorded in selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. A 100 basis point reduction in the discount rate would result in an increase to the liability of approximately $2.2 million as of April 4, 2026.

A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company's judgments used to determine the estimated contingent consideration liability discussed above, including estimated future sales projections, can materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company recognized a $22.7 million pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge related to a write-down of assets associated with the exit of a Tools and Outdoor product line and related plant closure.

The Company had no other significant non-recurring fair value measurements, nor any other financial assets or liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs, during the first three months of 2026 or 2025.

L. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND OTHER, NET

A summary of the restructuring reserve activity from January 3, 2026 to April 4, 2026 is as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	January 3, 2026		Net Additions		Usage		Currency		April 4, 2026
Severance and related costs	$	45.7	$	40.2	$	(18.2)	$	0.2	$	67.9
Facility closures and other	2.1		4.7		(4.7)		—		2.1
Total	$	47.8	$	44.9	$	(22.9)	$	0.2	$	70.0

Segments: The $44.9 million of net restructuring charges for the three months ended April 4, 2026 includes: $35.6 million in the Tools & Outdoor segment; $7.5 million in the Engineered Fastening segment; and $1.8 million in Corporate.

Other, net amounted to $41.9 million and $47.5 million for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, which included intangible asset amortization expense of $28.6 million and $37.3 million, respectively. Other, net is also comprised of several other items, none of which were individually significant during the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, primarily related to currency-related gains or losses, environmental remediation expenses, deal costs and related consulting costs, certain pension gains or losses, gains or losses on sales of assets, and income related to providing transition services to previously divested businesses.

M. INCOME TAXES

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate each quarterly reporting period. Tax expense or benefit in interim periods is computed by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to income or loss, and is adjusted for the tax effect of items of income and expense discretely reported in the period. The estimated annual effective tax rate used in determining income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods. When changes to the estimated annual effective tax rate occur, the prior interim year-to-date tax expense or tax benefit is adjusted to reflect the revised estimated annual effective tax rate. Any adjustment is recorded in the period in which the change occurs.

For the three months ended April 4, 2026, the Company recognized income tax expense of $25.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.7%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 4, 2026 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses, U.S. tax on foreign earnings, and losses for which a tax benefit is not recognized, partially offset by tax credits.

For the three months ended March 29, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense of $37.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.2%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2025 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses, losses for which a tax benefit is not recognized, and U.S. tax on foreign earnings, partially offset by remeasurement of uncertain tax position reserves and tax credits.

Table of Contents

The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and the impact on income tax expense, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company's unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. However, based on the uncertainties associated with finalizing audits with the relevant tax authorities including formal legal proceedings, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the impact of any such change.

N. BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

The Company’s operations are classified into two reportable business segments: Tools & Outdoor and Engineered Fastening.

The Tools & Outdoor segment is comprised of the Power Tools Group ("PTG"), Hand Tools, Accessories & Storage ("HTAS") and Outdoor Power Equipment ("Outdoor") product lines. The PTG product line includes both professional and consumer products. Professional products, primarily under the DEWALT® brand, include professional grade corded and cordless electric power tools and equipment including drills, impact wrenches and drivers, grinders, saws, routers, sanders, and concrete prep and placement tools as well as pneumatic tools and fasteners including nail guns, nails, staplers and staples, and concrete and masonry anchors. DIY and tradesperson focused products include corded and cordless electric power tools sold primarily under the CRAFTSMAN® and STANLEY® brands, and consumer home products such as household power tools, hand-held vacuums, and small appliances primarily under the BLACK+DECKER® brand. The HTAS product line sells hand tools, power tool accessories and storage products primarily under the DEWALT®, CRAFTSMAN®, and STANLEY® brands. Hand tools include measuring, leveling and layout tools, planes, hammers, demolition tools, clamps, vises, knives, saws, chisels, material handling, and industrial and automotive tools. Power tool accessories include drill bits, screwdriver bits, router bits, abrasives, saw blades and threading products. Storage products include tool boxes, sawhorses, cabinets and engineered storage solution products. The Outdoor product line primarily sells corded and cordless electric lawn and garden products, including hedge trimmers, string trimmers, lawn mowers, pressure washers and related accessories, and gas powered lawn and garden products, including lawn tractors, zero turn ride on mowers, walk behind mowers, snow blowers, residential robotic mowers, hand-held outdoor power equipment, garden tools, and parts and accessories to professionals and consumers primarily under the DEWALT®, CRAFTSMAN®, CUB CADET®, BLACK+DECKER®, and HUSTLER® brand names.

The Engineered Fastening segment is comprised of the Engineered Fastening business. The Engineered Fastening business primarily sells highly engineered components such as fasteners, fittings and various engineered products, which are designed for specific applications across multiple verticals. The product categories include externally threaded fasteners, blind rivets and tools, blind inserts and tools, drawn arc weld studs and systems, engineered plastic and mechanical fasteners, self-piercing riveting systems, precision nut running systems, micro fasteners, high-strength structural fasteners, axel swage, latches, heat shields, pins, and couplings.

The Company utilizes segment profit, which is defined as net sales minus cost of sales and SG&A inclusive of the provision for credit losses (aside from corporate overhead expense), and segment profit as a percentage of net sales to assess the profitability of each segment. Transactions between segments are not material. Segment assets primarily include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, other current assets, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use lease assets and intangible assets. Net sales and long-lived assets are attributed to the geographic regions based on the geographic locations of the end customer and the Company subsidiary, respectively.

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.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses segment profit for each segment as part of the Company's annual operating plan and forecasting process. The CODM monitors actual segment profit results relative to operating plan and forecast to assess the performance of the business and allocate resources.

O. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings relating to environmental issues, employment, product liability, workers’ compensation claims and other matters. The Company periodically reviews the status of these proceedings with both inside and outside counsel, as well as an actuary for risk insurance. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on operations or financial condition taken as a whole.

Government Litigation

As previously disclosed, on January 19, 2024, the Company was notified by the Compliance and Field Operations Division (the “Division”) of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) that the Division intended to recommend the imposition of a civil penalty of approximately $32 million for alleged untimely reporting in relation to certain utility bars and miter saws that were subject to voluntary recalls in September 2019 and March 2022, respectively. The Company believes there are defenses to

the Division’s claims, and has presented its defenses in a meeting with the Division on February 29, 2024 and in a written submission dated March 29, 2024. On April 1, 2024, the Division informed the Company's counsel that the Division intended to recommend that the CPSC refer the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”). On May 1, 2024, the Company was informed that the CPSC voted to refer the matter to the DOJ. In December 2024, the CPSC requested that the Company reproduce documents previously provided to the CPSC following changes to the agency’s electronic file sharing system and the Company reproduced the requested documents to the CPSC. Counsel for the Company and DOJ met to discuss the parties' positions. On December 22, 2025, DOJ filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland related to the matter, naming Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc. as a defendant. The Company believes that it took timely and appropriate action and intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims brought by DOJ. The Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with this matter, including any reserved amount, will have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company is committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and is continuously focused on ensuring the effectiveness of its policies, procedures, and controls.

Class Action Litigation

As previously disclosed, on March 24, 2023, a putative class action lawsuit titled Naresh Vissa Rammohan v. Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-00369-KAD (the “Rammohan Class Action”), was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors (together, "Defendants"). The complaint was filed on behalf of a purported class consisting of all purchasers of Stanley Black & Decker common stock between October 28, 2021 and July 28, 2022, inclusive. The complaint asserted violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 based on allegedly false and misleading statements related to consumer demand for the Company’s products amid changing COVID-19 trends and macroeconomic conditions. The complaint sought unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses. On October 13, 2023, Lead Plaintiff General Retirement System of the City of Detroit filed an Amended Complaint that asserted the same claims and seeks the same forms of relief as the original complaint. On December 14, 2023, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint in its entirety. Briefing on that motion concluded on April 5, 2024. Following the recent decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in City of Hialeah Employees’ Retirement System v. Peloton Interactive, Inc., No. 24-2803 (2d Cir. 2025), Lead Plaintiff informed Defendants that it wished to further amend its complaint. Pursuant to a stipulation between the parties, so ordered by the District Court on September 30, 2025, Lead Plaintiff provided Defendants with a proposed second amended complaint on October 30, 2025, and Defendants consented to its filing. Lead Plaintiff subsequently filed its Second Amended Complaint on November 14, 2025, asserting the same claims on behalf of the same putative class and seeking the same forms of relief as the prior complaints. Defendants filed a renewed motion to dismiss on December 18, 2025. Lead Plaintiff filed its opposition to Defendants’ renewed motion to dismiss on January 29, 2026, and Defendants filed a reply in support of their renewed motion to dismiss on February 19, 2026. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action in all respects. Given the early stage of this litigation, at this time, the Company is not in a position to assess the likelihood of any potential loss or adverse effect on its financial condition or to estimate the amount or range of potential losses, if any, from this action.

Derivative Actions

As previously disclosed, on August 2, 2023 and September 20, 2023, derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, titled Callahan v. Allan, et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-01028-OAW (the “Callahan Derivative Action”) and Applebaum v. Allan, et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-01234-OAW (the “Applebaum Derivative Action”), respectively, by putative stockholders against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company premised on the same allegations as the Rammohan Class Action. The Callahan and Applebaum Derivative Actions were consolidated by Court order on November 6, 2023, and defendants’ responses to both complaints have been stayed pending the disposition of any motions to dismiss in the Rammohan Class Action. The individual defendants intend to vigorously defend the Callahan and Applebaum Derivative Actions in all respects. However, given the early stage of this litigation, at this time, the Company is not in a position to assess the likelihood of any potential loss or adverse effect on its financial condition or to estimate the amount or range of potential losses, if any, from these actions.

As previously disclosed, on October 19, 2023, a derivative complaint was filed in Connecticut Superior Court, titled Vladimir Gusinsky Revocable Trust v. Allan, et al., Docket Number HHBCV236082260S, by a putative stockholder against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. Plaintiff seeks to recover for alleged breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment under Connecticut state law premised on the same allegations as the Rammohan Class Action. By Court order on November 11, 2023, the Connecticut Superior Court granted the parties’ motion to stay defendants’ response to the complaint pending the disposition of any motions to dismiss in the Rammohan Class Action. The individual defendants intend to vigorously defend this action in all respects. However, given the early stage of this litigation, at this time, the Company is not

in a position to assess the likelihood of any potential loss or adverse effect on its financial condition or to estimate the amount or range of potential losses, if any, from this action.

Environmental

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to administrative proceedings and litigation, before federal and state regulatory agencies, relating to environmental remediation with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment, generally at current and former manufacturing facilities. In addition, some of these claims assert that the Company is responsible for damages and liability, for remedial investigation and clean-up costs, with respect to sites that have never been owned or operated by the Company, but the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP").

In connection with the 2010 merger with Black & Decker, the Company assumed certain commitments and contingent liabilities. Black & Decker is a party to litigation and administrative proceedings with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment at current and former manufacturing facilities and has also been named as a PRP in certain administrative proceedings.

The Company, along with many other companies, has been named as a PRP in numerous administrative proceedings for the remediation of various waste sites, including 23 active Superfund sites. Current laws potentially impose joint and several liabilities upon each PRP. In assessing its potential liability at these sites, the Company has considered the following: whether responsibility is being disputed, the terms of existing agreements, experience at similar sites, and the Company’s volumetric contribution at these sites.

The Company’s policy is to accrue environmental investigatory and remediation costs for identified sites when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If no amount in the range of probable loss is considered most likely, the minimum loss in the range is accrued. The amount of liability recorded is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual site and includes such factors as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. The liabilities recorded do not take into account any claims for recoveries from insurance or third parties. As assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, the amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company had reserves of $252.9 million and $259.2 million, respectively, for remediation activities associated with Company-owned properties, as well as for Superfund sites, for losses that are probable and estimable. Of the April 4, 2026 amount, $49.9 million is classified as current within Accrued expenses and $203.0 million as long-term within Other liabilities which is expected to be paid over the estimated remediation period. As of April 4, 2026, the Company's net cash obligations, including the WCLC assets discussed below, is $237.3 million. As of April 4, 2026, the range of environmental remediation costs that is reasonably possible is $172.9 million to $389.5 million which is subject to change in the near term. The Company may be liable for environmental remediation of sites it no longer owns. Liabilities have been recorded on those sites in accordance with the Company's policy.

West Coast Loading Corporation

As of April 4, 2026, the Company has recorded $15.6 million in Other assets related to funding received by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and placed in a trust in accordance with the final settlement with the EPA, embodied in a Consent Decree approved by the United States District Court for the Central District of California on July 3, 2013. Per the Consent Decree, Emhart Industries, Inc. (a dissolved and liquidated former indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of The Black & Decker Corporation) (“Emhart”) has agreed to be responsible for an interim remedy at a site located in Rialto, California and formerly operated by WCLC, a defunct company for which Emhart was alleged to be liable as a successor. The remedy will be funded by (i) the amounts received from the EPA as gathered from multiple parties, and, to the extent necessary, (ii) Emhart's affiliate. The interim remedy required the construction of a water treatment facility and the treatment of ground water at or around the site for a period of approximately 30 years or more. The construction of the water treatment facility was completed in September 2023, and the treatment of ground water is ongoing. As of April 4, 2026, the Company's net cash obligation associated with these remediation activities, including WCLC assets, is $7.4 million.

Centredale Site

On April 8, 2019, the United States District Court approved a Consent Decree documenting the terms of a settlement between the Company and the United States for reimbursement of EPA's past costs and remediation of environmental contamination found at the Centredale Manor Restoration Project Superfund Site ("Centredale site"), located in North Providence, Rhode Island. Black & Decker and Emhart are liable for site clean-up costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") as successors to the liability of Metro-Atlantic, Inc., a former operator at the Centredale site. The Company is complying with the terms of the settlement and has fully reimbursed the EPA for its past costs. Remediation work at the Centredale site remains ongoing. After the EPA and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (“RIDEM”) implemented regulatory changes that allows for the disposal of contaminated soil and sediment from the Centredale Site at the offsite Central Landfill located in Johnson, Rhode Island, the Company and the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation (“RIRRC”) recently reached an agreement in principle to govern such disposal. The Company and the RIRRC are in the process of finalizing the documentation for that arrangement. Emhart’s contractor’s assessment of this offsite landfill disposal alternative involves soil and sediment volume estimates that could also change or increase as additional design investigations are performed at the site, which may further impact the remediation process. Emhart has entered into a cooperative agreement with the Federal and State Natural Resource Trustees to collectively conduct an assessment of what, if any, Natural Resource Damages may be associated with the contamination at the Centredale Site. That process remains in its very preliminary stages. Litigation continues in the District Court concerning Phase 3 of the case, which is addressing the potential allocation of liability to other PRPs who may have contributed to contamination of the Centredale site with dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls and other contaminants of concern. Following a six-week bench trial in Phase 3 on the issue of CERCLA liability against 4 PRPs in October 2024, the Court issued a decision on September 8, 2025, finding all four PRPs liable for contamination at the Site. The litigation will now move to a final allocation phase, Phase 3(B), which will determine each PRP's equitable share of responsibility for the Centredale site investigation, cleanup costs, and other damages caused by the contamination. As of April 4, 2026, the Company has reserved $155.6 million for this site.

Lower Passaic River

The Company, along with over 100 other parties, has been identified as a PRP at Operable Units (“OUs”) 2 and 4 of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site (the “Site”) pursuant to CERCLA. OU-4 encompasses the 17-mile Lower Passaic River (“LPR”) and OU-2 (which is subsumed within OU-4) consists of the lower 8.3 miles of the LPR. On March 4, 2016, the EPA issued a Record of Decision ("ROD") selecting the remedy for the lower 8.3 miles of the River, which according to the EPA, will cost approximately $1.4 billion. On September 28, 2021, the EPA issued an Interim Remedy ROD for the upper 9 miles of the LPR that the EPA estimates will cost $441 million (net present value).

In March 2017, the EPA announced a plan to commence an allocation process to identify PRPs that may be eligible for a cash out settlement for the remediation costs. As a result of the allocation process, the EPA and certain parties (including the Company) reached an agreement for a cash-out settlement for remediation of the entire 17-mile LPR. On December 16, 2022, the United States lodged a Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in United States v. Alden Leeds, Inc. et al. (No. 2:22-cv-07326) (“Alden Leeds”) that addressed the liability of 85 parties (including the Company) for an aggregate amount of $150 million. On December 18, 2024, the Court granted the United States’ motion to enter the Consent Decree. The Court’s order entering the Consent Decree has been appealed by two parties (Occidental Chemical Company (“OCC”) and Nokia of America Corporation (“Nokia”)) which were not offered to participate in the settlement. While briefing was ongoing, OCC filed documents with the Court indicating that OCC is now known as Environmental Resource Holdings LCC due to internal reorganization. Nearly a month before OCC’s filing, OCC merged into a new Texas limited liability company named Snowcone, LLC, which then changed its name to Occidental Chemical Company, LLC. Occidental Chemical Company, LLC then executed a divisive merger under Texas law pursuant to which it split into two entities (1) Occidental Chemical Corporation, a Texas corporation (“OCC-Texas”), which retained OCC’s assets and (2) Occidental Chemical Company, LLC, which was stripped of its assets and changed its name to Environmental Resource Holdings LLC. In October 2025, OCC’s then-parent, Occidental Petroleum Corporation agreed to sell 100% of the equity in OCC-Texas to Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (“Berkshire Hathaway”) for $9.7 billion. The sale of OCC-Texas to Berkshire Hathaway closed on January 2, 2026. The Company’s joint defense group called the Small Parties Group (or “SPG”) is seeking information to determine whether Environmental Resource Holdings LLC, the purported amended appellant as a result of OCC’s internal reorganization, is the proper party to the appeal and is evaluating its options to ensure that the corporate successor (which may include OCC-Texas as well as Environmental Resource Holdings LLC) has the financial resources to satisfy OCC’s liabilities at the LPR. On February 6, 2026, certain members of the SPG (including the Company) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (BASF Catalysts LLC, et al. v. Occidental Chemical Corp., No. 2:26-cv-01226 (“BASF”)) against OCC-Texas requesting that the Court enter a declaratory judgment that OCC-Texas is jointly and severally liable for OCC’s CERCLA liabilities. Nokia and certain public entities, including the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners (“PVSC”), filed motions to intervene in the lawsuit, which have been opposed by OCC-Texas. On March 24, 2026, OCC-Texas filed a motion to dismiss the complaint citing various grounds for dismissal. On April

Table of Contents

20, 2026, the SPG plaintiffs and public entities filed briefs in opposition to OCC-Texas’s motion to dismiss. The appeal of the Court’s opinion in Alden Leeds granting the United States’ motion to enter the Consent Decree has been fully briefed by the parties. The Company has paid its share of the settlement amount, which currently is held in escrow by the EPA pending the outcome of the appeal.

On June 30, 2018, OCC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Occidental Chemical Corp. v. 21st Century Fox, et al. (No. 2:18-cv-11273) (“21st Century Fox”)) against over 100 companies, including the Company, seeking CERCLA cost recovery or contribution for past costs relating to various investigations and cleanups OCC has conducted or is conducting in connection with OU-2 and OU-4 and seeking a declaratory judgment to hold the defendants liable for their proper shares of future response costs for OCC's ongoing activities in connection with the Site, which would include OCC’s Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study ("RI/FS") in Newark Bay (OU-3 of the Site). The litigation was stayed while the Court considered the Consent Decree and during the appeal discussed above. On April 21, 2026, Environmental Resource Holdings, LLC, as successor to OCC, filed a letter with the Court requesting leave to file a motion to consolidate the litigation in BASF into 21st Century Fox. The SPG parties will oppose the motion to consolidate the two actions.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies have been conducting a natural resources damage assessment of the LPR. The results of this assessment may be used in the future to support a claim by the federal agencies for natural resource damages against the Company and other PRPs.

At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate its liability related to the litigation, remediation efforts and natural resource damages as discussed above, as the OCC litigation is pending, the Court’s opinion granting the United States’ motion to enter the Consent Decree has been appealed, and Newark Bay RI/FS and the natural resource damage assessment are ongoing.

Kerr McGee

Per the terms of a Final Order and Judgment approved by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida on January 22, 1991, Emhart is responsible for a percentage of remedial costs arising out of the Kerr McGee Chemical Corporation Superfund Site located in Jacksonville, Florida. On March 15, 2017, the Company received formal notification from the EPA that the EPA had issued a ROD selecting the preferred alternative identified in the Proposed Cleanup Plan. The Multistate Trust managing the remediation provides quarterly projections for the remediation costs for work to be performed, and the Company adjusts the reserve for its percentage share of such costs accordingly. As of April 4, 2026, the Company has reserved $14.0 million for this site.

The amounts recorded for the aforementioned identified contingent liabilities are based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these environmental matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

P. COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES

COMMITMENTS — The Company has numerous assets, predominantly real estate, vehicles and equipment, under various lease arrangements. The following is a summary of the Company's right-of-use assets and lease liabilities:


(Millions of Dollars)	April 4, 2026	January 3, 2026
Right-of-use assets	$454.9	$464.3
Lease liabilities	$465.3	$476.7
Weighted-average incremental borrowing rate	4.7%	4.7%
Weighted-average remaining term	6 years	6 years

Right-of-use assets are included within Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, while lease liabilities are included within Accrued expenses and Other liabilities, as appropriate. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate based on interest rates from its debt issuances, taking into consideration adjustments for collateral, lease terms and foreign currency. As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, $7.8 million and $7.2 million of right-of-use assets, respectively, and $7.7 million and $7.0 million of lease liabilities, respectively, were reclassified to held for sale due to the divestiture of the CAM business.

Table of Contents

The Company has arrangements with third-party financial institutions that offer voluntary supply chain finance ("SCF") programs. These arrangements enable certain of the Company’s suppliers, at the supplier’s sole discretion, to sell receivables due from the Company to the financial institutions on terms directly negotiated with the financial institutions. The Company negotiates commercial terms with its suppliers, including prices, quantities, and payment terms, regardless of suppliers’ decisions to finance the receivables due from the Company under these SCF programs. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in these SCF programs, and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions, as it relates to these SCF programs. The amounts due to the financial institutions for suppliers that voluntarily participate in these SCF programs were presented within Accounts payable on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $387.5 million and $349.3 million as of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, respectively.

As of April 4, 2026, the Company had unrecognized commitments that require the future purchase of goods or services (unconditional purchase obligations) to provide it with access to products and services at competitive prices. These obligations consist of supplier agreements with long-term minimum material purchase requirements and freight forwarding arrangements with minimum quantity commitments. As of April 4, 2026, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of $89.2 million, consisting of $43.9 million in 2026 and $45.3 million in 2027. The decrease in unconditional purchase obligations from January 3, 2026 is primarily attributable to an amendment executed with a supplier in the first quarter of 2026.

GUARANTEES — The Company’s financial guarantees at April 4, 2026 are as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	Term	Maximum Potential Payment		Carrying Amount of Liability
Guarantees on the residual values of leased assets	Four years to nine years	$	45.5	$	—
Standby letters of credit	Up to twenty years	177.2		—
Commercial customer financing arrangements	Up to ten years	105.1		16.2
Total		$	327.8	$	16.2

The Company has guaranteed a portion of the residual values associated with certain of its variable rate leases. The lease guarantees are for an amount up to $45.5 million while the fair value of the underlying assets is estimated at $56.2 million. The related assets would be available to satisfy the guarantee obligations.

The Company has issued $177.2 million in standby letters of credit that guarantee future payments which may be required under certain insurance programs and in relation to certain environmental remediation activities described more fully in Note O, Contingencies.

The Company provides various limited and full recourse guarantees to financial institutions that provide financing to U.S. and Canadian Mac Tool distributors and franchisees for their initial purchase of the inventory and trucks necessary to function as a distributor and franchisee. In addition, the Company provides limited and full recourse guarantees to financial institutions that extend credit to certain end retail customers of its U.S. Mac Tool distributors and franchisees. The gross amount guaranteed in these arrangements is $105.1 million and the $16.2 million carrying value of the guarantees issued is recorded in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company provides warranties on certain products across its businesses. The types of product warranties offered generally range from one year to limited lifetime. There are also certain products with no warranty. Further, the Company sometimes incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues. Historical warranty and service claim experience forms the basis for warranty obligations recognized. Adjustments are recorded to the warranty liability as new information becomes available.

The changes in the carrying amount of product warranties for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025 are as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	2026		2025
Balance beginning of period	$	157.8	$	140.1
Warranties and guarantees issued	40.2		39.5
Warranty payments and currency	(36.3)		(34.5)

Q. DIVESTITURES

Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing

On April 6, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its CAM business and received proceeds of approximately $1.8 billion in cash. The divestiture is part of the Company's strategic commitment to simplify and streamline its portfolio to focus on its core Tools & Outdoor and Engineered Fastening businesses. As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the assets and liabilities related to the CAM business were classified as held for sale on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This divestiture does not qualify for discontinued operations and therefore, its results are included in the Company's continuing operations within the Engineered Fastening segment for all periods presented. The estimated pre-tax gain on sale to be recognized during the second quarter of 2026 is approximately $260 million to $280 million. As part of the purchase and sale agreement, the Company will perform transition services relating to certain administrative functions for the purchaser primarily for a period of six months or less, pending integration of these functions into their pre-existing business processes.

Following is the pre-tax income for this business for the three months ended April 4, 2026, and March 29, 2025:

The following discussion contains statements reflecting the Company's views about its future performance that constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Please read the information under the caption entitled “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements."

Throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), references to Notes refer to the "Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Strategy

The Company is a global provider of hand tools, power tools, outdoor products and related accessories, as well as a leading provider of engineered fastening solutions. In recent years, the Company has re-shaped its portfolio through a series of divestitures. These divestitures reflect the Company's ongoing strategic commitment to simplify and streamline its portfolio to focus on its leading market positions in tools and outdoor, as well as engineered fastening systems.

The Company is guided by its mission to build a world-class branded industrial company, by solving end users’ most pressing and complex challenges. The strategy to achieve this mission is anchored by three core imperatives: activating our brands with purpose, driving operational excellence, and accelerating innovation.

Activating our brands with purpose is rooted by the Company's brands standing for quality, safety and productivity. The Company is investing resources to continue to deepen connections with end users, with every product, solution and service aligned with their evolving needs.

Driving operational excellence is centered on continuous improvement to deliver stronger results, including more effective resource allocation with higher return on investment. The focus on driving annual net productivity will contribute to continued margin expansion and reinvestment into brand health and innovation.

Accelerating innovation is required to advance and expand the end-to-end workflow solutions that end users demand. The Company's platforming method enables faster speed to market and leverages modularity combined with specialization to deliver uncompromised productivity and value.

With a strengthened foundation and a more streamlined organization, focused on its core imperatives, the Company is well-positioned to drive performance towards its long-term financial targets.

In terms of capital allocation, the Company’s top priority is funding organic growth investments that drive long-term value. The Company also remains committed, over time, to maintaining a strong and growing dividend and opportunistically repurchasing shares. The Company has deployed the vast majority of the net proceeds from the Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing ("CAM") divestiture to reduce debt in the second quarter of 2026. The Company is now positioned to pursue capital allocation that accelerates shareholder value creation, which it expects to take the form of share repurchases.

Repurchases Of Common Stock

On April 23, 2026, the Board terminated the previous share repurchase program (the “April 2022 Program”) and approved a new share repurchase program of up to $500 million in purchase price of shares of the Company's common stock ("the April 2026 Program"). The April 2026 Program will expire 36 months from April 23, 2026. The Company may repurchase shares under the April 2026 Program through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or share repurchase programs, including one or more accelerated share repurchase programs (under which an initial payment for the entire repurchase amount may be made at the inception of the program). Such repurchases may be funded from cash on hand, short-term borrowings or other sources of cash at the Company’s discretion, and the Company is under no obligation to repurchase any shares pursuant to the April 2026 Program. The currently authorized shares available for repurchase under the April 2026 Program do not include approximately 3.6 million shares reserved and authorized for purchase under the Company’s approved repurchase program in place prior to the April 2026 Program relating to a forward share purchase contract entered into in March 2015.

Table of Contents

Repurchases Of Securities Other Than Common Stock

In October 2025, the Board of Directors approved repurchases by the Company of its outstanding securities, other than its common stock, up to an aggregate amount of $3.0 billion. No repurchases have been executed pursuant to this authorization to date.

Divestitures

On April 6, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its CAM business to Howmet Aerospace for $1.8 billion in cash. The Company has deployed the vast majority of the net proceeds to reduce debt in the second quarter of 2026. For the three months ended April 4, 2026, net sales and segment profit for Engineered Fastening included $117.0 million and $22.0 million, respectively, related to the CAM business. See below for further discussion of the Company's business segments and results.

In mid-2022, the Company launched a Global Cost Reduction Program comprised of a series of initiatives designed to generate targeted pre-tax run-rate cost savings of $2.0 billion by resizing the organization, reducing inventory, and transforming its supply chain with the ultimate objective of driving long-term growth, improving profitability and generating strong cash flow. The program was completed as of the end of 2025 and generated approximately $2.1 billion of pre-tax run-rate savings, exceeding its original cost savings target. These savings were partially redeployed to fund over $300 million of innovation and commercial investments through 2025 designed to accelerate organic growth.

Although the broader Global Cost Reduction Program has been completed, the Company continues to pursue targeted and strategic footprint actions to support the ongoing network transformation and reposition its supply chain, as necessary.

The charges associated with the execution of the Global Cost Reduction Program in 2025, as well as the charges related to targeted footprint actions in 2026, are reflected in the Non-GAAP adjustments detailed below in "Results From Operations." The expected charges for 2026 are reflected in the Company's full year estimate of Non-GAAP adjustments detailed below in "2026 Guidance".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On April 6, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its CAM business to Howmet Aerospace. This divestiture does not qualify for discontinued operations and therefore, the results of the CAM business are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented.

Certain Items Impacting Earnings and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has provided a discussion of its results both inclusive and exclusive of certain gains and charges. The results and measures, including gross profit, SG&A, Other, net, Income taxes, segment profit, and corporate overhead, on a basis excluding certain gains and charges, free cash flow, organic revenue and organic growth are Non-GAAP financial measures. These Non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. The Company considers the use of Non-GAAP financial measures relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the Company’s results, business trends and outlook measures aside from the material impact of certain gains and charges and ensures appropriate comparability to operating results of prior periods. Supplemental Non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

The Company provides expectations for the non-GAAP financial measures of full-year 2026 adjusted EPS, presented on a basis excluding certain gains and charges, as well as 2026 free cash flow. Forecasted full-year 2026 adjusted EPS is reconciled to forecasted full-year 2026 GAAP EPS under the section entitled "2026 Guidance" below. Consistent with past methodology, forecasted full-year 2026 GAAP EPS excludes the impacts of potential acquisitions and divestitures (unless otherwise noted), future regulatory changes or strategic shifts that could impact the Company's contingent liabilities or intangible assets, respectively, potential future cost actions in response to external factors that have not yet occurred, and any other items not specifically referenced under “2026 Guidance.” A reconciliation of forecasted 2026 free cash flow to its most directly comparable GAAP estimate is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash flow from operations, which could be material to the Company’s results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes such a reconciliation would also imply a degree of precision that is inappropriate for this forward-looking measure.

The Company’s operating results at the consolidated level as discussed below include and exclude certain gains and charges impacting gross profit, SG&A, Other, net, and Income taxes. The Company’s business segment results as discussed below include and exclude certain gains and charges impacting gross profit and SG&A. Corporate overhead as discussed below includes and excludes certain gains and charges. These amounts for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

Below is a summary of the Company’s operating results at the consolidated level, followed by an overview of business segment performance. Organic growth is utilized to describe the Company's results excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions during their initial 12 months of ownership, divestitures, transfers of product lines between segments, and outdoor product line exits (as previously communicated).

Consolidated Results

Net Sales: Net sales were $3.846 billion in the first three months of 2026 compared to $3.745 billion in the first three months of 2025, an increase of 3%, which was driven by a 3% increase in price and a 3% increase from foreign currency, partially offset by a 3% decrease in volume. Tools & Outdoor net sales increased 2% compared to the first three months of 2025 as a 4% increase in price and a 3% increase from foreign currency was partially offset by a 5% decrease in volume. Engineered Fastening net sales increased 10% compared to the first three months of 2025, driven by a 6% increase in volume, a 3% increase from foreign currency, and a 1% increase in price.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit: The Company reported cost of sales of $2.689 billion in the first three months of 2026 compared to $2.624 billion in the first three months of 2025. The year-over-year increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by tariff costs, volume deleveraging, and inflation, partially offset by operational cost improvements. Gross profit, defined as sales less cost of sales, was $1.157 billion, or 30.1% of net sales, in the first three months of 2026 compared to $1.121 billion, or 29.9% of net sales, in the first three months of 2025. Non-GAAP adjustments, which increased cost of sales and reduced gross profit, were $5.2 million, or 0.1% of net sales, for the three months ended April 4, 2026, and $16.7 million, or 0.5% of net sales, for the three months ended March 29, 2025. Excluding these adjustments, gross profit was 30.2% of net sales for the three months ended April 4, 2026, compared to 30.4% of net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2025. Gross profit as a percent of sales and adjusted gross profit as a percent of sales were fairly consistent year-over-year as operational cost improvements and higher pricing were largely offset by increased tariff expense, volume deleverage, and other inflation.

Selling, general and administrative: SG&A, inclusive of the provision for credit losses, was $884.0 million, or 23.0% of net sales, in the first three months of 2026, compared to $867.0 million, or 23.2% of net sales, in the first three months of 2025. Within SG&A, Non-GAAP adjustments totaled $7.7 million, or 0.2% of net sales, for the three months ended April 4, 2026. and $22.0 million, or 0.6% of net sales, for the three months ended March 29, 2025. Excluding these adjustments, SG&A was 22.8% of net sales for the three months ended April 4, 2026, compared to 22.6% for the three months ended March 29, 2025. SG&A as a percent of sales and adjusted SG&A as a percent of sales were fairly consistent year-over-year as strategic growth investments were balanced by disciplined and targeted cost management.

Distribution center costs (i.e. warehousing and fulfillment facility and associated labor costs) are classified within SG&A. This classification may differ from other companies who may report such expenses within cost of sales. Due to diversity in practice, to the extent the classification of these distribution costs differs from other companies, the Company’s gross margins may not be comparable. Such distribution costs classified in SG&A amounted to $135.9 million and $129.0 million for the first three months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Other, net: Other, net totaled $41.9 million and $47.5 million in the first three months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Excluding Non-GAAP adjustments, Other, net totaled $44.5 million and $56.2 million for the first three months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in Other, net, both inclusive and exclusive of Non-GAAP adjustments, is primarily driven by lower intangible amortization expense in 2026.

Loss on Sale of Business: During the first three months of 2026, the Company reported a pre-tax loss of $3.1 million related to the divestiture of a small business in the Tools & Outdoor segment. During the first three months of 2025, the Company reported a pre-tax loss of $0.3 million related to the divestiture of a small business in the Engineered Fastening segment.

Asset Impairment Charges: During the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $22.7 million related to a write-down of assets associated with the exit of a Tools and Outdoor product line and related plant closure.

Interest, net: Net interest expense was $75.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $77.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower interest expense partially offset by lower interest income, both due to lower interest rates.

Income Taxes: For the three months ended April 4, 2026, the Company recognized income tax expense of $25.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.7%. Excluding the tax effect on Non-GAAP adjustments for the three months ended April 4, 2026, the Company recognized income tax expense of $43.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.3%. These effective tax rates for the three months ended April 4, 2026 differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-

deductible expenses, U.S. tax on foreign earnings, and losses for which a tax benefit is not recognized, partially offset by tax credits.

For the three months ended March 29, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense of $37.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.2%. Excluding the tax effect on Non-GAAP adjustments for the three months ended March 29, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense of $44.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.1%. These effective tax rates for the three months ended March 29, 2025 differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses, losses for which a tax benefit is not recognized, and U.S. tax on foreign earnings, partially offset by remeasurement of uncertain tax position reserves and tax credits.

Refer to Note M, Income Taxes, for additional information on the impacts in interim periods of changes in the estimated annual effective income tax rate.

On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") published a proposal for the establishment of a global minimum tax rate of 15% (“Pillar Two"). The Pillar Two rules provide a template that jurisdictions can translate into domestic law, to assist with the implementation within an agreed upon timeframe and in a coordinated manner. Certain countries in which the Company operates have enacted legislation effective January 1, 2024, while other jurisdictions are in various stages of implementation.

On January 5, 2026, the OECD published a package introducing new safe harbors and a side-by-side system (“SbS”) in relation to the Pillar Two global minimum tax rules. If enacted into law in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates following the indicated timeline, the SbS system would generally be expected to exempt the Company from the application of two of the three Pillar Two top-up taxes starting in 2026.

The Company has performed an assessment of the potential impact to its income taxes as a result of Pillar Two. The assessment of the potential impact is based on the most recent tax filings, country-by-country reporting, and financial statements of affected subsidiaries. Based on results of the assessment, the Company believes it can avail itself of the transitional safe harbor rules in most jurisdictions in which the Company operates. There are, however, a limited number of jurisdictions where the transitional safe harbor relief does not apply. The Pillar Two tax impact from these jurisdictions is expected to be immaterial to the Company's 2026 estimated annual tax rate. The Company continues to assess the potential impact of Pillar Two, including the SbS system, and monitor developments in legislation, regulation, and interpretive guidance in these areas.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including extending and modifying certain Tax Cuts & Jobs Act provisions and accelerating the phase-out of certain Inflation Reduction Act incentives. The OBBBA includes provisions modifying net interest deduction limitations, expensing of U.S.-based research and development expenses, and tax depreciation methods, as well as international tax provisions modifying global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), foreign-derived intangible income (FDII), base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT), and foreign tax credits. The Company evaluated the impacts of the OBBBA and concluded that it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in 2025 and does not expect a material impact to future income tax provisions. The Company will continue to assess the potential impact of the OBBBA and monitor developments in legislation, regulation, and interpretive guidance in this area.

Business Segment Results

The Company’s reportable segments represent businesses that have similar products, services and end markets, among other factors. The Company utilizes segment profit which is defined as net sales minus cost of sales and SG&A inclusive of the provision for credit losses (aside from corporate overhead expense), and segment profit as a percentage of net sales to assess the profitability of each segment.

The Company’s operations are classified into two reportable business segments: Tools & Outdoor and Engineered Fastening.

Tools & Outdoor:


	Year-to-Date
(Millions of Dollars)		2026			2025
Net sales		$	3,335.6		$	3,280.9
Segment profit		$	276.0		$	289.2
% of Net sales		8.3		%	8.8		%

Table of Contents

Tools & Outdoor net sales increased $54.7 million, or 2%, in the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025 as a 4% increase in price and a 3% increase from foreign currency was partially offset by a 5% decrease in volume. Tools & Outdoor organic revenues decreased 1% primarily due to lower retail volumes in North America, which was mostly offset by increased sell-in ahead of the outdoor product spring season, strong performance in prioritized international markets, and higher rates of professional conversions within the U.S. commercial & industrial channel. Total revenue decreased 1% in North America and increased 11% and 6% in Europe and the rest of the world, respectively. Excluding the impact from foreign currency, organic revenue decreased 2% in North America, increased 1% in Europe, and remained flat in the rest of the world.

Tools & Outdoor Segment profit for the first three months of 2026 was $276.0 million, or 8.3% of net sales, compared to $289.2 million, or 8.8% of net sales, in the first three months of 2025. Excluding Non-GAAP adjustments, which primarily related to footprint actions in both periods, of $12.6 million, or 0.4% of net sales, in the first three months of 2026, and $25.0 million, or 0.8% of net sales, in the first three months of 2025, segment profit was 8.7% of net sales in the first three months of 2026 and 9.6% of net sales in the first three months of 2025. The year-over-year changes in segment profit as a percent of sales and adjusted segment profit as a percent of sales were primarily driven by growth investments and greater sales volume of lower-margin outdoor products. Higher pricing in the first three months of 2026 was largely offset by increased tariff expenses.

Engineered Fastening:


	Year-to-Date
(Millions of Dollars)		2026			2025
Net sales		$	510.8		$	463.7
Segment profit		$	60.9		$	39.0
% of Net sales		11.9		%	8.4		%

Engineered Fastening net sales increased $47.1 million, or 10%, in the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025, driven by a 6% increase in volume, a 3% increase from foreign currency, and a 1% increase in price. Engineered Fastening organic revenues increased 7% driven by robust aerospace growth and automotive outperforming the market, partially offset by a decline in industrial volume.

Engineered Fastening segment profit for the first three months of 2026 totaled $60.9 million, or 11.9% of net sales, compared to $39.0 million, or 8.4% of net sales, in the corresponding 2025 period. Excluding Non-GAAP adjustments of $0.2 million, or 0.1% of net sales, in the first three months of 2026, and $7.7 million, or 1.7% of net sales, in the first three months of 2025, which primarily related to costs associated with the supply chain transformation, segment profit amounted to 12.0% of net sales in the first three months of 2026 compared to 10.1% of net sales in the first three months of 2025. The year-over-year changes in segment profit as a percent of sales and adjusted segment profit as a percent of sales were driven by improved profitability in aerospace and higher volume and mix in automotive.

Corporate overhead:

Corporate overhead amounted to $63.6 million and $74.4 million in the first three months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Excluding Non-GAAP adjustments of $0.1 million in the first three months of 2026 and $6.0 million in the first three months of 2025, which primarily consisted of transition services costs related to previously divested businesses, the corporate overhead element of SG&A was $63.5 million and $68.4 million in the first three months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

A summary of the restructuring reserve activity from January 3, 2026 to April 4, 2026 is as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	January 3, 2026		Net Additions		Usage		Currency		April 4, 2026
Severance and related costs	$	45.7	$	40.2	$	(18.2)	$	0.2	$	67.9
Facility closures and other	2.1		4.7		(4.7)		—		2.1
Total	$	47.8	$	44.9	$	(22.9)	$	0.2	$	70.0

For the three months ended April 4, 2026, the Company recognized net restructuring charges of $44.9 million related to severance costs primarily associated with reorganizations of the Company’s supply chain resources and a plant closure, as well as facility exit costs. The Company expects to achieve annual net cost savings of approximately $78 million by the end of 2027 related to the restructuring costs incurred during the three months ended April 4, 2026. The majority of the $70.0 million of reserves remaining as of April 4, 2026 is expected to be utilized within the next twelve months.

Segments:

The $44.9 million of net restructuring charges for the three months ended April 4, 2026 includes: $35.6 million in the Tools & Outdoor segment; $7.5 million in the Engineered Fastening segment; and $1.8 million in Corporate.

The anticipated annual net cost savings of approximately $78 million related to the 2026 restructuring actions include: $63 million in the Tools & Outdoor segment; $9 million in the Engineered Fastening segment; and $6 million in Corporate.

TARIFF POLICY IMPLICATIONS

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). The ruling did not address potential refunds. The U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) has ordered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to refund the collected IEEPA tariffs. The administrative process for seeking refunds of IEEPA tariffs previously paid remains under development and the CIT’s order may be subject to U.S. government challenge. On April 20, 2026, the CBP launched the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) system for IEEPA refunds, which the CBP plans to implement through a phased development approach. There can be no guarantee that a refund, if received, will equal the full amount of IEEPA tariffs paid, and any refund may be subject to taxes and other adjustments or further legal, regulatory, or administration developments. Given these uncertainties, the Company has not recognized any benefit or asset related to potential IEEPA tariff refunds as of April 4, 2026. Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision, the U.S. administration announced additional tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 122 tariffs”) and could take action to implement additional tariffs in the future. The Company will continue to evaluate developments on tariff policy and the refund process related to IEEPA tariffs as new information becomes available.

In response to the U.S. administration’s policy actions in 2025 and recent developments in 2026 discussed above, as well as potential policy changes in the future, the Company is continuing to execute its plan with the objective to safeguard gross margins and position the business for success with a focus on achieving its long-term financial objectives.

The Company's guiding principles and actions executed in response to tariff policy remain unchanged:

•Serve its end users and customers during a dynamic period;

•Minimize cost increases through supply chain moves with a focus on leveraging the Company’s North American footprint and reducing China production for the United States by the end of 2026 or early 2027;

•Implemented price increases in 2025 with a long-term perspective and to protect cash flow; and

•Continue to proactively engage with the U.S. administration.

Refer to "2026 Guidance" below for more information.

2026 GUIDANCE

This discussion of certain guidance is intended to provide broad insight into the Company's near-term earnings and cash flow generation prospects. The Company is updating its guidance for 2026 diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis to be in the range of $4.15 to $5.35, which is higher than prior guidance factoring in the expected gain on the recently closed CAM divestiture. The Company continues to expect diluted earnings per share excluding Non-GAAP adjustments to be in the range of $4.90 to $5.70. These ranges represent year-over-year growth of 79% and 13%, respectively, at the midpoint of each range as compared to 2025 performance. The Company is targeting free cash flow to be in the range of $500 to $700 million, which now includes projected taxes and fees associated with the recently closed CAM divestiture. Excluding such payments, free cash flow is expected to be in the range of $700 to $900 million, consistent with prior guidance.

The above guidance ranges exclude the results of the CAM business as of April 6, 2026, and the impacts of any potential future tariff refunds. Furthermore, the above guidance ranges assume that inflationary cost pressures resulting from the Middle East conflict, combined with inflation on battery metals and tungsten, will offset a temporary net tariff tailwind driven by the Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariffs, which were at higher levels than the Section 122 tariffs that have replaced them for a period of 150 days (through late July). The full year guidance ranges also assume an expectation that additional tariffs will take effect after the 150-day period at IEEPA-equivalent levels.

The difference between the guidance for 2026 diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis and diluted earnings per share excluding Non-GAAP adjustments is approximately $0.35 to $0.75, consisting primarily of charges related to footprint actions and other cost actions, largely offset by the estimated gain on the recently closed sale of the CAM business.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity, Sources and Uses of Capital: The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and available lines of credit under various credit facilities.

Operating Activities: Cash flows used in operations were $388.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $420.0 million in the corresponding period of 2025. The year-over-year change is primarily driven by changes in working capital.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow, as defined in the table below, was an outflow of $447.3 million and $485.0 million in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The year-over-year change in free cash flow was due to the same factor discussed above in operating activities. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity and capital efficiency, as well as its ability to fund future growth and provide dividends to 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.


	Year-to-Date
(Millions of Dollars)		2026		2025
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(388.8)	$	(420.0)
Less: capital and software expenditures		(58.5)		(65.0)
Free cash flow		$	(447.3)	$	(485.0)

Investing Activities: Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $55.5 million and $57.7 million in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to capital and software expenditures of $58.5 million and $65.0 million, respectively.

Financing Activities: Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $508.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, primarily driven by net short-term commercial paper borrowings of $1.145 billion, partially offset by payments on long-term debt of $500.1 million and cash dividend payments on common stock of $126.0 million. Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $502.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by net short-term commercial paper borrowings of $1.136 billion, partially offset by payments on long-term debt of $500.0 million and cash dividend payments on common stock of $124.5 million.

Credit Ratings & Liquidity:

Table of Contents

The Company maintains investment grade credit ratings from the major U.S. rating agencies on its senior unsecured debt (S&P BBB+, Fitch BBB+, Moody's Baa3), as well as its commercial paper program (S&P A-2, Fitch F2, Moody's P-3). There were no changes to any of the Company's credit ratings during the first quarter of 2026. Failure to maintain investment grade rating levels could adversely affect the Company’s cost of funds, liquidity and access to capital markets, but would not have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access its existing committed credit facilities.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $333.7 million and $280.1 million as of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, respectively, which was primarily held in foreign jurisdictions.

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"), the Company's tax liability related to the one-time transition tax associated with unremitted foreign earnings and profits totaled $2 million at April 4, 2026. The Act permits a U.S. company to elect to pay the net tax liability interest-free over a period of up to eight years.

In March 2026, the Company redeemed its $500 million 3.40% notes, at maturity.

The Company has a $3.5 billion commercial paper program which includes Euro denominated borrowings in addition to U.S. Dollars. As of April 4, 2026, the Company had commercial paper borrowings outstanding of $1.7 billion, of which $547.6 million in Euro denominated commercial paper was designated as a net investment hedge. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company utilized the vast majority of the net proceeds from the CAM divestiture to repay commercial paper borrowings. As of January 3, 2026, the Company had $605.6 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding, of which $555.6 million in Euro denominated commercial paper was designated as a net investment hedge. Refer to Note H, Financial Instruments, for further discussion.

In June 2024, the Company amended and restated its existing five-year $2.5 billion committed credit facility with the concurrent execution of a new five year $2.25 billion committed credit facility (the “5-Year Credit Agreement”). Borrowings under the 5-Year Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling. A sub-limit of an amount equal to the Euro equivalent of $800.0 million is designated for swing line advances. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and specific terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 5-Year Credit Agreement by the earlier of June 28, 2029 or upon termination. The 5-Year Credit Agreement is designated to be a liquidity back-stop for the Company's $3.5 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. In June 2025, the 5-Year Credit Agreement was amended to include the covenants listed below. As of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company had not drawn on its five-year committed credit facility.

In June 2025, the Company terminated its 364-Day $1.25 billion committed credit facility ("the 2024 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement") dated June 2024. There were no outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement upon termination and as of December 28, 2024. Contemporaneously, the Company entered into a new $1.25 billion syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement (the "2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement") which is a revolving credit loan. The borrowings under the 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars or Euros and bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and pursuant to the terms of the 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of June 22, 2026 or upon termination. The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. The 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement serves as part of the liquidity back-stop for the Company’s $3.5 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. As of April 4, 2026, the Company had not drawn on its 2025 Syndicated 364-Day Credit Agreement.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026, includes "Legal Proceedings" under Item 3 of Part I. There have been no material changes from the legal proceedings described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2026 (the "Form 10-K") should be considered together with information included in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 4, 2026, and should not be considered the only risks to which the Company is exposed. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K.

Business and Operational Risks

The Company’s business is subject to risks associated with the global trade environment, including customs and trade regulations, tariffs, quotas, import taxes and international trade agreements.

Substantially all of the Company's import operations are subject to customs requirements, trade restrictions and protection measures, and to tariffs, quotas and taxes on imports set by governments through mutual agreements, bilateral actions or, in some cases unilateral action, such as tariffs implemented by the U.S. government under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. In addition, the countries in which the Company’s products and materials are manufactured or imported from (including importation into the U.S. of the Company's products manufactured overseas) may from time to time impose additional quotas, duties, tariffs or other restrictions on its imports (including restrictions on manufacturing operations) or adversely modify existing restrictions. Adverse changes in the Company’s import costs and restrictions, or failure by the Company’s suppliers to comply with customs regulations or similar laws, could harm the Company’s business.

Changes in governmental policy regarding international trade, including import and export regulation, sanctions, and international trade agreements, have negatively impacted the Company’s business. Beginning in 2025, the U.S. government announced a series of new tariffs on imported goods into the U.S., which prompted retaliatory actions from some of its trading partners, and in response, the Company introduced strategies to mitigate the impacts of these changes on its results of operations, including price increases and supply chain adjustments. While certain of these tariffs have been suspended, modified or invalidated, such as the invalidation of tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Power Act (“IEEPA”) by the U.S. Supreme Court, the trade policy environment continues to evolve. The Company continues to monitor the current tariff landscape, however, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to mitigate the full impact of all such tariffs, retaliatory actions or other changes in trade policies that have or may develop. In addition, there may be ongoing uncertainty regarding the availability, timing and administration of any refund or review processes associated with tariffs that have been invalidated or otherwise modified, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain refunds or that any refunds will be available to it in amounts or within timeframes that would meaningfully offset the impact of tariffs on the Company’s business. Furthermore, the overall impact and timing of any refunds, which if received may be subject to taxes and other adjustments or further legal, regulatory, or administration developments, remain highly uncertain.

Moreover, decisions made as part of the Company’s tariff mitigation strategy concerning the rationalization, restructuring or relocation of facilities, production or component sources and any similar actions could also subject the Company to additional or new tariffs or trade regulations and interpretations of those regulations, reputational risks, and other issues relating to the importation of products. For example, in 2025 the Company began shifting production of certain power tools to Mexico. As a result, these products became subject to additional tariffs on imports from Mexico in 2025. Even though the Company is taking actions to qualify for an exemption under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement to mitigate the additional tariff costs, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain such qualification.

There is a possibility of further escalation of trade tensions, or modifications to tariffs, trade restrictions or retaliatory efforts with little or no advance notice, which may result in disruption to the Company's supply chain and an increase in supply chain costs that the Company may not be able to accurately assess and offset. This could in turn require the Company to increase its prices and, in the event customer demand declines as a result, adversely impact the Company’s results of operations. For example, in April 2025, China imposed export restrictions on certain rare earth minerals that are used in certain components of the Company’s products, which resulted in delays and shortages of certain components. If China were to further restrict exporting, or implement burdensome and lengthy licensing processes for the export of, these materials or components, or pressure other countries to do so, the Company’s and its suppliers' ability to obtain such materials or components may be

Table of Contents

disrupted and the Company may not be able to obtain sufficient quantities, or obtain supply in a timely manner, or at a commercially reasonable cost.

Certain of the Company’s competitors may be better positioned than the Company to withstand or react to these kinds of changes and other restrictions on global trade and as a result the Company could lose market share to such competitors. While the Company may be able to expand or shift sourcing options and has been focused, and continues to focus, on implementing other supply chain adjustments, such efforts are time-consuming and are, or could be, difficult or impracticable for many products and may result in an increase in its manufacturing costs, or otherwise materially and adversely impact the Company's results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

The Company’s operations are also subject to the effects of international trade agreements and regulations such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, and the activities and regulations of the World Trade Organization. Although these trade agreements generally have, and the Company has benefited from, positive effects on trade liberalization, sourcing flexibility and cost of goods by reducing or eliminating the duties and/or quotas assessed on products manufactured in a particular country, trade agreements, however, can also impose requirements that adversely affect the Company’s business, such as setting quotas on products that may be imported from a particular country into key markets including the U.S. or the European Union ("EU"), or making it easier for other companies to compete, by eliminating restrictions on products from countries where the Company’s competitors source products.

The Company cannot predict if, and to what extent, other countries in which its products are currently manufactured or will be manufactured in the future, or countries into which its products are imported, will be subject to, or implement, additional or increased tariffs, new trade restrictions or other changes to existing international trade agreements, the impact of which the Company may not be able to accurately assess or effectively mitigate and any of which could have a material adverse impact on its business. In addition, efforts to withdraw from, or substantially modify, such agreements or arrangements, in addition to the implementation of more restrictive trade policies, such as more detailed inspections, import or export licensing requirements (e.g. China’s limitations on exports of rare earth minerals) and exchange controls or new barriers to entry, could limit the Company’s ability to capitalize on current and future growth opportunities in international markets, impair its ability to expand the business by offering new products, and could adversely impact its production costs, customer demand and relationships with customers and suppliers. Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Other Risks

The Company’s share repurchase program may not be fully consummated and could impact the price of the Company’s common stock and anticipated enhancements to long-term shareholder value may not be realized.

Although the Company has adopted a share repurchase program, it is not obligated to repurchase a specified number or dollar value of shares under this share repurchase program or at all, and the program may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion and without prior notice. The timing and amount of repurchases, if any, will depend on factors such as the Company’s historical and expected business performance, its cash and liquidity positions and priorities, the price of its common stock, economic and market conditions, and corporate and regulatory requirements. The Company’s share repurchase program could also affect the price of its common stock and increase trading volatility. There is no guarantee that the share repurchase program, even if fully implemented, will enhance shareholder value. Any failure to fully implement the share repurchase program may negatively impact the Company’s reputation, investor confidence, and the price of the Company’s common stock.

(a)On April 23, 2026, the Board terminated the previous share repurchase program (the “April 2022 Program”) and approved a new share repurchase program of up to $500 million in purchase price of shares of the Company's common stock ("the April 2026 Program"). The April 2026 Program will expire 36 months from April 23, 2026. The Company may repurchase shares under the April 2026 Program through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or share repurchase programs, including one or more accelerated share repurchase programs (under which an initial payment for the entire repurchase amount may be made at the inception of the program). Such repurchases may be funded from cash on hand, short-term borrowings or other sources of cash at the Company’s discretion, and the Company is under no obligation to repurchase any shares pursuant to the April 2026 Program. The currently authorized shares available for repurchase under the April 2026 Program do not include approximately 3.6 million shares reserved and authorized for purchase under the Company’s approved repurchase program in place prior to the April 2026 Program relating to a forward share purchase contract entered into in March 2015.
