FIRST QUARTER 2025 VS. FIRST QUARTER 2024

FIRST QUARTER 2025 IN SUMMARY

•Sales of $2,931.5 decreased 2%, or $65.9, due to lower volumes of 2% and an unfavorable impact from currency of 1%, which were partially offset by favorable pricing of 1%. Lower volumes driven by the LNG business divestiture in September 2024, which resulted in a headwind of approximately 2%, and a lower contribution from on-sites and merchant in the Europe segment were partially offset by a significant, non-recurring sale of helium to an existing merchant customer in the Americas segment. Energy cost pass-through to customers was flat versus the prior year.

•Operating income of $643.6 decreased 3%, or $23.3, as higher costs and lower volumes were partially offset by higher pricing, net of power and fuel costs, and favorable currency. The recently divested LNG business contributed operating income of approximately $25 in the prior year. Operating margin of 22.0% decreased 20 basis points ("bp").

•Equity affiliates' income of $150.6 decreased 5%, or $7.8, driven by lower income from JIGPC in the Middle East & India segment.

•Net income of $649.8 increased 5%, or $28.2, as higher pricing, net of power and fuel costs, lower non-service pension costs, and a gain on de-designated cash flow hedges were partially offset by higher costs. Net income margin of 22.2% increased 150 bp.

•Adjusted EBITDA of $1,190.9 increased 1%, or $16.4, as higher pricing, net of power and fuel costs, was partially offset by higher costs and lower equity affiliates' income. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 40.6% increased 140 bp.
