Second Quarter 2023 Segment Review

(All comparisons against the second quarter of 2022 unless otherwise noted.)

Industrial Technologies and Services Segment (IT&S): broad range of compressor, vacuum and blower solutions as well as industrial technologies including power tools and lifting equipment

• Reported Orders of $1,444 million, up 13%, or 8% organic
• Reported Revenues of $1,378 million, up 20%, or 14% organic¹
• Reported Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $378 million, up 29% with an incremental margin of 38%
• Reported Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 27.4%, up 200 basis points, due to continued pricing strength and IRX driving strong operational execution
• IT&S saw continued strong demand with organic orders up 8%, which was on top of 11% organic orders growth in the second quarter of the prior year. Excluding the impact of FX and the recently acquired SPX Flow Air Treatment business, orders for total compressor offerings, which represent approximately 65% of the total segment, grew low double digits, including growth in the high twenties for oil free compressor offerings.

Precision and Science Technologies Segment (P&ST): highly specialized fluid management solutions including precision liquid and gas pumps and niche compression technologies

• Reported Orders of $293 million, down 8%, or 10% organic
• Reported Revenues of $308 million, up 6%, or 5% organic¹
• Reported Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $90 million, up 16% with an incremental margin of 66%
• Reported Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 29.2%, up 240 basis points, driven largely by improvements in pricing versus cost and synergy delivery in recently completed M&A, as well as the impact of China lockdowns in the second quarter of 2022, which did not repeat.
• Declines in the Life Sciences and Agritech businesses, driven by large frame and longer cycle orders not repeating, partially offset by solid order growth in both the Gas Handling and Specialty businesses. In the industrial businesses, short cycle orders continue to remain relatively healthy due to good underlying demand conditions and lead time reductions.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Ingersoll Rand remains in a strong financial position with ample liquidity of $3.2 billion. On a reported basis, the company generated $228 million of cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations and invested $25 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow from continuing operations¹ of $204 million, compared to cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations of $186 million and free cash flow from continuing operations¹ of $165 million in the prior year period. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage¹ was 1.0x for the second quarter, which was an improvement of 0.1x as compared to the prior year.

In addition, Ingersoll Rand was assigned an investment grade first-time Issuer Default Rating of ‘BBB-’ by Fitch. The investment grade rating is based on the company’s well-established market positions; product, end market, and geographic diversification; solid and consistent profitability; substantial proportion of aftermarket and recurring revenue; and effective execution of the company’s acquisition strategy.

Consistent with our comprehensive capital allocation strategy led by M&A, in the second quarter of 2023, Ingersoll Rand deployed $49 million to M&A. In addition the company returned $64 million to shareholders by deploying $56 million for share repurchases for approximately 1.0 million shares and $8 million for its dividend payment. Ingersoll Rand also announced the acquisition of Howden Roots LLC (“Roots”), a leading provider of low-pressure compression and vacuum technologies. The Roots transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2023. Upon close, Roots will join Ingersoll Rand’s IT&S segment.

Raising 2023 Guidance

Ingersoll Rand is raising its guidance for full year 2023 total revenue growth, organic revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS ranges based on robust Q2 performance and its expectations of continued strong commercial and operational performance for the balance of the year:

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures related to full-year 2023 guidance have not been provided due to the unreasonable efforts it would take to provide such reconciliations due to the high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including net income (loss) and adjustments that could be made for acquisitions-related expenses, restructuring and other business transformation costs, gains or losses on foreign currency exchange and the timing and magnitude of other amounts in the reconciliation of historic numbers. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, Ingersoll Rand reviews various non-GAAP financial measures, including “Organic Revenue Growth,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Diluted EPS” and “Free Cash Flow.”

Ingersoll Rand believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as they exclude certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of Ingersoll Rand’s business. Ingersoll Rand believes Organic Revenue Growth is a helpful supplemental measure to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions on revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income including interest, depreciation and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions. Organic Revenue Growth is defined as As Reported Revenue growth less the impacts of Foreign Currency and Acquisitions. Ingersoll Rand believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Average Shares Outstanding. Incrementals/Decrementals are defined as the change in Adjusted EBITDA versus the prior year period divided by the change in revenue versus the prior year period.

Ingersoll Rand uses Free Cash Flow to review the liquidity of its operations. Ingersoll Rand measures Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. Ingersoll Rand believes Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measures for management and investors in assessing the Company’s ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service its debt. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities.

Management and Ingersoll Rand’s board of directors regularly use these measures as tools in evaluating the Company’s operating and financial performance and in establishing discretionary annual compensation. Such measures are provided in addition to, and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, Ingersoll Rand believes that Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Incrementals/Decrementals and Free Cash Flow are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity.

Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to revenue growth, net income, diluted earnings per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing Ingersoll Rand’s results as reported under GAAP.

Reconciliations of Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial metrics for historical periods are presented in the tables below.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures related to full-year 2023 guidance have not been provided due to the unreasonable efforts it would take to provide such reconciliations due to the high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including net income (loss) and adjustments that could be made for acquisitions-related expenses, restructuring and other business transformation costs, gains or losses on foreign currency exchange and the timing and magnitude of other amounts in the reconciliation of historic numbers. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
