(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (“Zurn Elkay” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2024~~2025. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024.

Divestiture of Asbestos Liabilities and Certain Assets

On December 15, 2023, Zurn Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) sold all of the equity interests of its direct subsidiary Zurn Industries, LLC (“Zurn Industries”), together with Zurn Industries’ direct and indirect subsidiaries that primarily held asbestos liabilities, certain assets and cash, in a stock sale transaction to an unaffiliated buyer (“Sale Transaction”). As a result of the Sale Transaction, all asbestos obligations and liabilities, related insurance assets and associated deferred taxes, and other assets sold to the buyer, have been removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet effective December 15, 2023 and the Company no longer has any obligation with respect to pending and future asbestos claims related to the divested entities. A loss on the divestiture of asbestos liabilities and certain assets of $11.4 million was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. See Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information on the Sale Transaction.

Elkay Merger

On July 1, 2022, Zurn Water Solutions Corporation ("Zurn") completed its combination with Elkay Manufacturing Company (“Elkay”) through the Merger of Elkay with and into a newly created subsidiary of the Company, with Elkay surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Zurn Elkay (the “Merger” or "Elkay Transaction"). The Company's results of operations include the acquired operations subsequent to July 1, 2022. See Note 2, Acquisition, for additional information on the Elkay Transaction.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Restructuring and Other Similar Charges

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company continued to execute various restructuring actions. These initiatives were implemented to drive efficiencies and reduce operating costs while also modifying the Company's footprint to reflect changes in the markets it serves, the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the Company's overall manufacturing capacity and the refinement of its overall product portfolio. These restructuring actions primarily resulted in workforce reductions, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. Management expects to continue executing similar initiatives to optimize the Company's operating margin and manufacturing footprint. As such, the Company expects further expenses related to workforce reductions, potential impairment or accelerated depreciation of assets, lease termination

~~Elkay~~The ~~Merger~~following table summarizes the Company's restructuring and other similar charges during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, (in millions):

On July 1, 2022, the Company completed the Elkay Merger for a purchase price (after final purchase price adjustments) of $1,457.8 million. Elkay, a market leader of drinking water solutions and commercial sinks, complements the Company's existing product portfolio. The purchase price includes $1,411.9 million of Zurn's common stock based on Zurn's closing stock price of $27.48 on July 1, 2022, and $45.9 million of net cash payments for the repayment of Elkay's term loan and Elkay's transaction related costs outstanding that were in excess of Elkay's cash and cash equivalents at the time of closing. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the Company issued 51,564,524 shares of its common stock, which represented approximately 29% of outstanding shares immediately following the Merger. During the first quarter of 2023, we completed the final price adjustments and the adjusted purchase price is reflected in the purchase price amounts above, following the return of 186,020 of the shares issued at closing to the Company as a result of lower working capital and cash balances at closing compared to targets stipulated in the merger agreement. The shares returned to the Company were canceled upon receipt.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. millions):

Elkay’s assets and liabilities were measured at estimated fair values at July 1, 2022, primarily using Level 3 inputs. Estimates of fair value represent management’s best estimate of assumptions about future events and uncertainties, including significant judgments related to future cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, margin and revenue growth assumptions including royalty rates and customer attrition rates and others. Inputs used were generally obtained from historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates expected as of the Merger date.

3. Discontinued Operations

On October 4, 2021, the Company completed a Reverse Morris Trust tax-free spin-off transaction (the “Spin-Off Transaction”) in which (i) substantially all the assets and liabilities of the Company's Process & Motion Control ("PMC") business were transferred to a newly created subsidiary, Land Newco, Inc. (“Land”), (ii) the shares of Land were distributed to the Company's stockholders pro rata, and (iii) Land was merged with a subsidiary of Regal Rexnord Corporation (formerly known as Regal Beloit Corporation), in which the stock of Land was converted into a specified number of shares of Regal Rexnord Corporation in accordance with the exchange ratio. The operating results of PMC are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented, as the Spin-Off Transaction of PMC represented a strategic shift that had a major impact on operations and financial results. The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 have not been adjusted to separately disclose cash flows related to the discontinued operations.

34. ~~Restructuring~~Revenue ~~and Other Similar Charges~~Recognition

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company continued to execute various restructuring actions. These initiatives were implemented to drive efficiencies and reduce operating costs while also modifying the Company's footprint to reflect changes in the markets it serves, the impact of mergers and acquisitions, including Elkay, on the Company's overall manufacturing capacity and the refinement of its overall product portfolio. These restructuring actions primarily resulted in workforce reductions, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. Management expects to continue executing similar initiatives to optimize the Company's operating margin and manufacturing footprint. As such, the Company expects further expenses related to workforce reductions, potential impairment or accelerated depreciation of assets, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. The Company's restructuring plans are preliminary and the full extent of related expenses are not yet estimable.

The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring and other similar charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, (in millions):

4. Discontinued Operations

On October 4, 2021, the Company completed a Reverse Morris Trust tax-free spin-off transaction (the “Spin-Off Transaction”) in which (i) substantially all the assets and liabilities of the Company's Process & Motion Control ("PMC") business were transferred to a newly created subsidiary, Land Newco, Inc. (“Land”), (ii) the shares of Land were distributed to the Company's stockholders pro rata, and (iii) Land was merged with a subsidiary of Regal Rexnord Corporation (formerly known as Regal Beloit Corporation), in which the stock of Land was converted into a specified number of shares of Regal Rexnord Corporation in accordance with the exchange ratio. The operating results of PMC are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented, as the Spin-Off Transaction of PMC represented a strategic shift that had a major impact on operations and financial results. The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 have not been adjusted to separately disclose cash flows related to the discontinued operations.

5. Revenue Recognition

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. For the majority of the Company's product sales, revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the product is shipped from the Company's manufacturing facility to the customer. When contracts include multiple products to be delivered to the customer, generally each product is separately priced and is determined to be distinct within the context of the contract. Other than a standard assurance-type warranty that the product will conform to agreed-upon specifications, there are generally no other significant post-shipment obligations. The expected costs associated with standard warranties continue to be recognized as an expense when the products are sold.

When the contract provides the customer the right to return eligible products or when the customer is part of a sales rebate program, the Company reduces revenue at the point of sale using current facts and historical experience by using an estimate for expected product returns and rebates associated with the transaction. The Company adjusts these estimates at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration that is expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Accordingly, an increase or decrease to revenue is recognized at that time.

Sales and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control of products has transferred to the customer as a component of cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company classifies shipping and handling fees billed to customers as net sales and the corresponding costs are classified as cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Contract Balances

For substantially all of the Company's product sales, the customer is billed 100% of the contract value when the product ships and payment is generally due 30 days from shipment. Certain contracts include longer payment periods; however, the Company has elected to utilize the practical expedient in which the Company will only recognize a financing component to the sale if payment is due more than one year from the date of shipment.

Billings are recorded as accounts receivable when an unconditional right to the contractual consideration exists. Contract assets arise when the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration, or before the customer’s payment is due. A contract liability exists when the Company has received consideration or the amount is due from the customer in advance of revenue recognition. Contract liabilities and contract assets as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024 were not material.

Table of Contents

Backlog

The Company had backlog of $4672.73 million as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, which represents the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received in satisfying the remaining backlog under open contracts. The Company utilizes the optional exemption provided by ASC 606-10-50-14A for variable consideration, and has not included estimated rebates in the amount of unsatisfied performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize approximately 95100% of the backlog in the remaining ~~three~~nine months of the year ending December 31, ~~2024, and the remaining approximately 5% in~~ 2025 ~~and beyond~~.

Timing of Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time

The Company determined that the customer is able to control the product when it is delivered to them; thus, depending on the shipping terms, control will transfer at different points between the Company's manufacturing facility or warehouse and the customer’s location. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Variable Consideration

The Company provides volume-based rebates and the right to return product to certain customers, which are accrued for based on current facts and historical experience. Rebates are paid either on an annual or quarterly basis. There are no other significant variable consideration elements included in the Company's contracts with customers.

Table of Contents

Contract Costs

The Company has elected to expense contract costs as incurred if the amortization period is expected to be one year or less. If the amortization period of these costs is expected to be greater than one year, the costs would be subject to capitalization. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract assets capitalized, as well as amortization recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, are not significant and no impairment losses were recognized.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company assesses the collectability of customer receivables based on the credit worthiness of a customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history. In determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company also considers various factors, including the aging of customer accounts and historical write-offs. In addition, the Company monitors other risk factors, including forward-looking information when establishing allowances for credit losses, which reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the receivables.

65. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for all periods presented is based on an estimated effective income tax rate for the respective fiscal years. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is determined excluding the effect of significant discrete items or items that are reported net of their related tax effects. The tax effect of significant discrete items is reflected in the period in which they occur. The Company's income tax expense is impacted by a number of factors, including the amount of taxable earnings derived in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that are generally higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate, state tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company does business and the Company's ability to utilize various tax credits, capital loss and net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards.

In October 2021, more than 130 countries agreed to implement Pillar 2, a plan introduced by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) providing for a global minimum tax rate of 15% (calculated on a country-by-country basis) for those companies having consolidated revenue of at least €750 million. The implementation of the Pillar 2 global minimum tax rules is intended to apply for tax years beginning in 2024. The main purpose of such rules is to minimize tax base erosion and profit shifting from higher tax jurisdictions to lower tax jurisdictions by multi-national companies. On December 20, 2022, the OECD issued various administrative guidance including transitional safe harbor rules available in conjunction with the implementation of the Pillar 2 global minimum tax. On February 1, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board indicated that they view the minimum tax (“Top-Up Tax”) imposed under Pillar 2 as an alternative minimum tax, and as such, it should be recognized in the period incurred versus recognizing or adjusting deferred tax assets and liabilities. Based upon the current OECD rules and administrative guidance, the Company does not anticipate being subject to material Top-Up Taxes as various tax jurisdictions begin enacting such legislation. The Company is continuing to monitor the potential impact of the Pillar 2 proposals and developments on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including eligibility for any transitional safe harbor rules. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has determined that no accrual is currently required for Top-Up Taxes.

The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and valuation allowances are established based on historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, as deemed appropriate. In addition, all other available positive and negative evidence is taken into consideration for the purpose of determining the proper balances of such valuation allowances. As a result of this review, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against U.S. federal and state capital loss carryforwards, as well as certain foreign NOL carryforwards and related deferred tax assets and continues to maintain a partial valuation allowance against certain U.S. state NOL and tax credit carryforwards. Future changes to the balances of these valuation allowances, as a result of this continued review and analysis by the Company, could impact the financial statements for such period of change.

The income tax provision was $1615.91 million for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, compared to $129.50 million for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 was 2826.09% versus 2620.29% for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the accrual of additional income taxes associated with compensation deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the accrual of various state income taxes and the accrual of foreign income taxes, which are generally above the U.S. federal statutory rate, partially offset by the recognition of income tax benefits associated with share-based payments. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024 was ~~above~~slightly below the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% ~~primarily~~as ~~due to~~ the accrual of additional income taxes associated with compensation deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the accrual of various state income taxes and the accrual of foreign income taxes, which are generally above the U.S. federal statutory rate, ~~partially~~was effectively offset by the recognition of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations and income tax benefits associated with share-based payments.

Table of Contents

The Company’s total liability for net unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits includes gross accrued interest and penalties of $0.5 million. The Company recognized $0.1 million and $(0.3) million of net interest and penalties as income tax expense (benefit) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company conducts business in multiple locations within and outside the U.S. Consequently, the Company is subject to periodic income tax examinations by domestic and foreign income tax authorities. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized income tax benefits could change in the next twelve months based upon future income tax examinations; however, any potential payments of income tax, interest and penalties would not be expected to be significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years ending prior to December 31, 2021, state and local income tax examinations for years ending prior to December 31, 2020 or significant foreign income tax examinations for years ending prior to March 31, 2020.

6. Earnings per Share

Basic net income per share from continuing and discontinued operations is computed by dividing net income from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations, respectively, by the corresponding weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share from continuing and discontinued operations is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of incremental shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive shares were issued through the exercise of outstanding stock options to purchase common shares and the vesting of restricted stock units and performance stock units using the treasury stock method, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The computation for diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 excludes 0.2 million and 0.5 million shares, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effects.

Share Repurchase Program

During fiscal 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") authorizing the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. On January 27, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved increasing the remaining share repurchase authority under the Repurchase Program to $300.0 million. On February 8, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved increasing the remaining share repurchase authority under the Repurchase Program to $500.0 million. The Repurchase Program does not require the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and does not specify the timing of purchases or the prices to be paid; however, the program will continue until the maximum amount of dollars authorized have been expended or until it is modified or terminated by the Board of Directors. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 2,272,022 shares of common stock at a total cost of $77.4 million at an average price of $34.07 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 620,844 shares of common stock at a total cost of $18.9 million at an average price of $30.41 per share. The repurchased shares were canceled by the Company upon receipt. Approximately $162.8 million of the existing authority remained under the Repurchase Program at March 31, 2025.

In accordance with the terms of the sale agreement relating to a group of certain previously owned legal entities (the parent of which was VAG Holding GbmH, “VAG”), the Company is required to indemnify the purchaser for any future income tax liabilities associated with all open tax years ended prior to, and including, the short period ended on the date of the Company's sale of VAG. VAG was notified by the German tax authorities of its intention to conduct an income tax examination of the VAG German entities’ corporate income and trade tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2014 through 2020. Similarly, in accordance with the Spin-Off Transaction, the Company is required to indemnify Regal Rexnord Corporation for any future income tax liabilities associated with PMC entities relating to all open tax years ended prior to, and including, the short period ended on the date of the Spin-Off. There are currently a number of ongoing tax examinations being conducted by the applicable tax authorities in Germany with respect to certain PMC entities. It appears reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized income tax benefits and indemnification liabilities could change in the next twelve months upon conclusion of the current ongoing examinations; however, any potential payments of income tax, interest and penalties are not expected to be significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years ended prior to December 31, 2020, state and local income tax examinations for years ended prior to March 31, 2020 or significant foreign income tax examinations for years ended prior to March 31, 2019.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 4, 2021, ZBS Global, Inc. (“Holdings”), Zurn Holdings, Inc., Zurn LLC (together, the “Original Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent for the lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Fourth Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of July 1, 2022 (the "Amendment") (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, Elkay joined the Credit Agreement as a borrower (Elkay and the Original Borrowers, collectively, the "Borrowers"). The Credit Agreement is funded by a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions and provides for (i) a $550.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) a $200.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The obligations under the Credit Agreement and related documents are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the Borrowers, and certain subsidiaries of the Borrowers pursuant to a Third Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2021, among Holdings, the Borrowers, the subsidiaries of the Borrowers party thereto, and the Administrative Agent, as supplemented pursuant to that certain Supplement No. 1 dated as of July 1, 2022, executed by Elkay and its domestic subsidiaries, and certain other collateral documents.

The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation, a financial covenant under which the Borrowers are, if certain conditions are met, obligated to maintain on a consolidated basis, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, a certain maximum Net First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of March 31, 2025, the Borrowers were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2024, the Borrowers were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Term Debt

The Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million. The proceeds of the Term Loan were, together with the dividend received by the Company in connection with the Spin-Off Transaction and cash on hand, used to (i) repay in full a $625 million term loan, together with accrued interest thereon, (ii) redeem the $500 million of outstanding principal amount of the 4.875% ~~notes~~Senior Notes due 2025, and (iii) pay related fees and expenses.

In October 2023, the Company made a voluntary prepayment on its Term Loan of $60.0 million. In connection with this prepayment, the Company recognized a $0.9 million loss on debt extinguishment to write off a portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs. The Term Loan has a maturity date of October 4, 2028. In connection with the voluntary prepayment of $60.0 million, quarterly principal payments are no longer required.

For purposes of the Term Loan, effective July 1, 2023, the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") replaced LIBOR, and accordingly, beginning July 1, 2023 the Term Loan bears interest at the Borrowers' option, by reference to a base rate or a rate based on Term SOFR, plus a Term SOFR adjustment of 0.115%, 0.262%, or 0.428% for interest periods of one month, three months, and six months, respectively, plus an applicable margin based on the Borrowers' Net First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. If the Net First Lien Leverage Ratio is greater than 1.80 to 1.00, the applicable margin shall equal 1.25% in the case of base rate borrowings and 2.25% in the case of SOFR borrowings. In the event the Borrowers’ Net First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.80 to 1.00, the applicable margin on both base rate and SOFR borrowings would decrease by 0.25%. The Borrowers’ Net First Lien Leverage Ratio was 0.8998 to 1.00 as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, and therefore the applicable margin is 2.00%.

Prior to July 1, 2023, the Term Loan bore interest at the Borrowers’ option, by reference to a base rate or a rate based on LIBOR, in either case plus an applicable margin determined quarterly based on the Borrowers’ Net First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter as illustrated above.

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and for the ~~nine~~three months then ended, the borrowings under the Term Loan had weighted-average effective interest rates of 6.7140% and 76.4345%, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Credit Agreement includes a $200.0 million revolving credit facility that has a maturity date of October 2, 2026. Similar to the Term Loan, effective July 1, 2023, the SOFR replaced LIBOR, and accordingly, beginning July 1, 2023 the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest by reference to a base rate or a rate based on Term SOFR, plus a Term SOFR adjustment of 0.115%, 0.262%, or 0.428% for interest periods of one month, three months, and six months, respectively, plus an applicable margin based on the Borrowers' Net First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. If the Net First Lien Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.00 to 1.00, the applicable margin shall equal 1.00% in the case of base rate borrowings and 2.00% in the case of SOFR borrowings. In the event the Borrowers' Net First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00, the applicable margin on both base rate and SOFR borrowings would decrease by 0.25%. The Borrowers’ Net First Lien Leverage Ratio was 0.8998 to 1.00 as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025. The Borrowers are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility for each fiscal quarter and fees in connection with the issuance of letters of credit. If the Net First Lien Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.00 to 1.00, the commitment fee shall equal 0.50%, and if the Company's Net First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00, the commitment fee shall equal 0.375%.

Prior to July 1, 2023, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at the Borrowers’ option, by reference to a base rate or a rate based on LIBOR, in either case, plus an applicable margin determined quarterly based on the Borrowers’ Net First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter as illustrated above.

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, there were no amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, $11.31 million and $11.03 million, respectively, of the Revolving Credit Facility was considered utilized in connection with outstanding letters of credit.

Finance Leases

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, the Company had finance lease obligations of $2120.04 million and $2120.76 million, respectively.

1913. Fair Value Measurements

Table of Contents

14participants. ~~Fair~~ASC ~~Value~~820 ~~Measurements~~also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use.

In accordance with ASC 820, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

•Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

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

•Level 3 - Model-derived valuations in which one or more inputs or value-drivers are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

If applicable, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value, and therefore classifies such measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, the Company makes use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters. These measurements are classified within Level 3 if they use significant unobservable inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan where assets are invested in mutual funds and corporate-owned life insurance contracts held in a Rabbi Trust, which is restricted for payments to participants of the plan. The Company has elected to use the fair value option for the mutual funds, which are measured using quoted prices of identical instruments in active markets categorized as Level 1. Corporate-owned life insurance contracts are recorded at cash surrender value, which is provided by a third party and reflects the net asset value of the underlying publicly traded mutual funds categorized as Level 2. The deferred compensation plan assets are classified within ~~other~~Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred compensation plan liabilities are measured at fair value based on quoted prices of identical instruments to the investment vehicles selected by the participants categorized as Level 1. Deferred compensation short-term and long-term plan liabilities are classified within ~~other~~Compensation and benefits and Other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table provides a summary of the Company's assets and liabilities that were recognized at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024 (in millions):

There were no transfers of assets between levels at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, respectively.

Fair Value of Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities approximated fair value at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of long-term debt as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, was approximately $~~504~~500.48 million and $503.94 million, respectively. The fair value is based on quoted market prices for the same instruments.

The Company's subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business involving, among other things, product liability, commercial, employment, workers' compensation, intellectual property claims and environmental matters. The Company establishes accruals in a manner that is consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for costs associated with such matters when a liability is probable and those costs are capable of being reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss or recovery, based upon current information, management believes the eventual outcome of these unresolved legal actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

~~On December~~ 15~~, 2023, Zurn Holdings, Inc~~. ~~sold~~Retirement ~~all~~Benefits of the equity interests of its direct subsidiary Zurn Industries, together with Zurn Industries’ direct and indirect subsidiaries that primarily held asbestos liabilities, certain assets and cash, in a stock sale transaction to an unaffiliated buyer. In accordance with the terms of the stock sale agreement, a subsidiary of the Company will indemnify the buyer for breaches of representations or warranties, breaches of covenants, and certain other liabilities as long as such liabilities are entirely unrelated to asbestos liabilities or assets. In addition, the buyer will indemnify the Company and its affiliates for breaches of representations or warranties, breaches of covenants, liabilities related to the operation of Zurn Industries’ and buyer’s operations post-closing and all claims arising out of asbestos liabilities and related insurance coverage.

The components of net periodic (income) cost are as follows (in millions):

As a result of the transaction, all asbestos obligations and liabilities, related insurance assets and associated deferred taxes, and other assets sold to the buyer, have been removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet effective December 15, 2023 and the Company no longer has any obligation with respect to pending and future asbestos claims related to the divested entities. As such, the divested entities have been deconsolidated from our 2023 financial results as the Company no longer owns or controls such entities. Therefore, for the period ended December 31, 2023, all asbestos obligations and liabilities, related insurance assets and associated deferred taxes, and other assets of the divested subsidiaries are no longer reported on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded a loss on the divestiture of asbestos liabilities and certain assets of $11.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, including transaction expenses of $2.1 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

On July 1, 2022, we completed our combination with Elkay Manufacturing Company (“Elkay”) through the Merger of Elkay with and into a newly created subsidiary of Zurn, with Elkay surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Zurn Elkay (the “Merger” or "Elkay Transaction"). In conjunction with the Merger, we changed our name from Zurn Water Solutions Corporation to Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation. Our results of operations include the acquired operations subsequent to July 1, 2022. See Item 1, Note 2, Acquisition, for additional information on the Elkay Merger.

Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation is a growth-oriented, pure-play water management business that designs, procures, manufactures, and markets what we believe to be the broadest sustainable product portfolio of specification-driven water management solutions to improve health, hydration, human safety and the environment. Our product portfolio includes professional grade water safety and control products, flow systems products, hygienic and environmental products, and filtered drinking water products for public and private spaces that deliver superior value to building owners, positively impact the environment and human hygiene and reduce product installation time. Zurn Elkay's heritage of innovation and specification has allowed us to provide highly-engineered, mission-critical solutions to customers for decades and affords us the privilege of having long-term, valued relationships with market leaders. We operate in a disciplined way and the Zurn Elkay Business System (“ZEBS”) is our operating philosophy. Grounded in the spirit of continuous improvement, ZEBS creates a scalable, process-based framework that focuses on driving superior customer satisfaction and financial results by targeting world-class operating performance throughout all aspects of our business.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024.

Critical Accounting ~~Policies and~~ Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Refer to Item 7, MD&A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 for information with respect to our critical accounting ~~policies~~estimates which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management. Except for the items reported below, management believes that as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, and during the period from January 1, ~~2024~~2025 through ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, there has been no material change to this information.

~~Acquisitions~~ The major components of the Income from discontinued operations, net of tax presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, are as follows (in millions):

On July 1, 2022, we completed the Elkay Merger for a purchase price (after final purchase price adjustments) of $1,457.8 million. Elkay, a market leader of drinking water solutions and commercial sinks, complements our existing product portfolio. The purchase price includes $1,411.9 million of Zurn's common stock based on Zurn's closing stock price of $27.48 on July 1, 2022, and $45.9 million of net cash payments for the repayment of Elkay's term loan and Elkay's transaction related costs outstanding that were in excess of Elkay's cash and cash equivalents at the time of closing. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, we issued 51,564,524 shares of common stock, which represented approximately 29% of outstanding shares immediately following the Merger. During the first quarter of 2023, we completed the final price adjustments and the adjusted purchase price is reflected in the purchase price amounts above, following the return of 186,020 of the shares we issued at closing as a result of lower working capital and cash balances at closing compared to targets stipulated in the merger agreement. The shares returned were canceled upon receipt. As of June 30, 2023, the measurement period was complete. Our results of operations include Elkay subsequent to the Merger date. See Item 1, Note 2, Acquisition for additional information on the Elkay Merger.

Restructuring and Other Similar Charges

During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the Company continued to execute various restructuring actions. These initiatives were implemented to drive efficiencies and reduce operating costs while also modifying the Company's footprint to reflect changes in the markets it serves, the impact of mergers and acquisitions, ~~including Elkay,~~ on the Company's overall manufacturing capacity and the refinement of its overall product portfolio. These restructuring actions primarily resulted in workforce reductions, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. Management expects to continue executing similar initiatives to optimize the Company's operating margin and manufacturing footprint. As such, the Company expects further expenses related to workforce reductions, potential impairment or accelerated depreciation of assets, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, restructuring charges totaled $21.7 million ~~and $9~~.~~7 million,~~ ~~respectively.~~ For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024, restructuring charges totaled $26.23 million ~~and $11~~.~~9 million,~~ ~~respectively.~~ Refer to Item 1, Note 32, Restructuring and Other Similar Charges for further information.

Other expense, net for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, was $10.50 million and $21.54 million, respectively. Other expense, net consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, the non-service cost components associated with our defined benefit and postretirement plans and other non-operational gains and losses. The year-over-year change is primarily driven by lower defined benefit plan costs in the current year ~~and~~as ~~increased~~a ~~accruals~~result ~~for~~of ~~estimated~~the ~~environmental~~curtailment ~~remediation~~gain ~~costs~~of $0.7 million recognized in connection with the ~~prior~~U.S. ~~year~~pension plan freeze as well as a higher expected return on plan assets.

Provision for income taxes

On a quarterly basis, we review and analyze our valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets relating to certain foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards as well as U.S. federal and state capital loss carryforwards. In conjunction with this analysis, we weigh both positive and negative evidence for purposes of determining the proper balances of such valuation allowances. Future changes to the balances of these valuation allowances, as a result of our continued review and analysis, could impact the financial statements for such period of change.

Diluted net income per share for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024, was $0.2526 and $0.2419, respectively. The year-over-year change is the result of the factors described above. Net ~~loss~~income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $02.06 million for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 compared to net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $60.23 million for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. Diluted net income per share from discontinued operations for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024, was $0.0002 and $0.0400, respectively.

Net sales	$	1,195.8	$	1,173.7	$	22.1	1.9	%

Net sales were $1,195.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 2% year-over-year. The 2% core sales growth across nearly all product categories was offset by the 200 basis point impact from the planned exit of certain residential sink products.

Income from operations

(Dollars in Millions)

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2024		September 30, 2023		Change		% Change
Income from operations	195.3		158.6		36.7		23.1	%
% of net sales	16.3	%	13.5	%	2.8	%

Income from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $195.3 million compared to $158.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased by 280 basis points year over year due to the benefits resulting from productivity synergies and restructuring actions related to the Elkay Merger, as well as lower material and restructuring costs.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $25.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $29.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in interest expense, net as compared to the prior year period is due to interest earned on higher cash balances and reduced interest expense due to the prior year prepayment of $60 million.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $4.5 million compared to $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Other expense, net consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, the non-service cost components associated with our defined benefit plans and other non-operational gains and losses. The year-over-year change is primarily driven by income recognized in connection with an insurance settlement in the prior year, partly offset by accruals for estimated environmental remediation costs in the prior year and lower defined benefit plan costs in the current year.

Provision for income taxes

The income tax provision was $42.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $34.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 25.7% versus 27.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the accrual of additional income taxes associated with compensation deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the accrual of various state income taxes and the accrual of foreign income taxes, which are generally above the U.S. federal statutory rate, partially offset by the recognition of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations and income tax benefits associated with share-based payments. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the accrual of additional income taxes associated with compensation deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the accrual of various state income taxes and the accrual of foreign income taxes, which are generally above the U.S. federal statutory rate, partially offset by the recognition of income tax benefits associated with share-based payments.

Net income

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $123.8 million compared to $98.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Diluted net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, was $0.71 and $0.56, respectively. Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Diluted net income per share from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, was $0.01 and $0.05, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and not replace financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Core sales

Core sales excludes the impact of mergers, and acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier and more meaningful comparisons of our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of mergers, and acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size and number can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers, and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is not under management's control.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings before interest and other debt related activities, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure because, under our credit agreement, our ability to incur certain types of acquisition debt and certain types of subordinated debt, make certain types of acquisitions or asset exchanges, operate our business and make dividends or other distributions, all of which will impact our financial performance, is impacted by our Adjusted EBITDA, as our lenders measure our performance with a Net First Lien Leverage Ratio by comparing our senior secured bank indebtedness to our Adjusted EBITDA (see "Covenant Compliance" for additional discussion of this ratio, including a reconciliation to our net income). "Adjusted EBITDA" is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and adjusted in our credit agreement, which is net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the table in the "Covenant Compliance" section. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains. It is also provided to aid investors in understanding our compliance with our debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results.

In addition, certain of these expenses added back in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in the "Covenant Compliance" section below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from mergers, acquisitions or dispositions to restructuring, and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate incurring to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA under our credit agreement as of September 30, 2024, is presented in the table in the "Covenant Compliance" section below. However, the results of such calculation could differ in the future based on the different types of adjustments that may be included in such respective calculations at the time. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we reported net income of $123.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA for the same period of $299.3 million. See "Covenant Compliance" for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income.25

synergies related to operational changes ranging from mergers, acquisitions or dispositions to restructuring, and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate incurring to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA under our credit agreement as of March 31, 2025, is presented in the table in the "Covenant Compliance" section below. However, the results of such calculation could differ in the future based on the different types of adjustments that may be included in such respective calculations at the time. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we reported net income of $43.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA for the same period of $98.0 million. See "Covenant Compliance" for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income.

Covenant Compliance

Our credit agreement, which governs our senior secured credit facilities, contains, among other provisions, restrictive covenants regarding indebtedness, payments and distributions, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, affiliate transactions, capital expenditures and the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Payment of borrowings under the credit agreement may be accelerated if there is an event of default. Events of default include the failure to pay principal and interest when due, a material breach of a representation or warranty, certain non-payments or defaults under other indebtedness, covenant defaults, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. Certain covenants contained in the credit agreement restrict our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions, if we are unable to meet a maximum total Net First Lien Leverage Ratio (consolidated indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA) of 5.00 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, our Net First Lien Leverage Ratio was 0.8998 to 1.00. Failure to comply with these covenants could limit our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to borrow under the revolver, to obtain future debt and/or to make acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are available cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and borrowing availability of up to $200.0 million under our revolving credit facility.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, we had $~~187~~144.97 million of cash and cash equivalents and $188.79 million of additional borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the available borrowings under our credit facility were reduced by $11.31 million due to outstanding letters of credit.

Our revolving credit facility is available to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. We believe this resource is adequate for our expected short-term and long-term needs.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $~~229~~42.9 million and $~~195~~53.79 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk during the normal course of business from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and at times derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts to cover certain known foreign currency transactional risks. We also have historically entered into interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate fluctuations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner allowing timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As such, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the period covered by this report.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of the changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In fiscal 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") authorizing the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. On January 27, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved increasing the remaining share repurchase authority under the Repurchase Program to $300.0 million. On February 8, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved increasing the remaining share repurchase authority under the Repurchase Program to $500.0 million. The Repurchase Program does not require the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and does not specify the timing of purchases or the prices to be paid; however, the program will continue until the maximum amount of dollars authorized have been expended or until it is modified or terminated by the Board of Directors. During the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the Company repurchased 12,~~622~~272,~~895~~022 shares of common stock at a total cost of $5077.04 million at an average price of $3034.8107 per share. The repurchased shares were canceled by the Company upon receipt. The remaining repurchase authority under the Repurchase Program at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 was $~~260~~162.68 million.
