Second Quarter 2025 in Summary

SECOND QUARTER 2025 VS. SECOND QUARTER 2024

SECOND QUARTER 2025 IN SUMMARY

Sales of $2.9 billion decreased $14.0. On a percentage basis, sales were flat as lower volumes of 3% and an unfavorable impact from currency of 2% were offset by higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 4% and higher pricing of 1%. The lower volumes were attributable to the divestiture of the LNG business in September 2024, which resulted in a headwind of approximately 2%, as well as lower global demand for helium. These items were partially offset by favorability in our on-site business, primarily in the Americas and Europe segments.

Operating loss was $2.3 billion and operating margin was negative 79.8%, primarily due to materially higher charges for business and asset actions in fiscal year 2025. In the prior year, operating income was $637.2 and operating margin was 21.7%.

Equity affiliates' income of $145.5 increased 2%, or $2.2, driven by affiliates in Europe and the Middle East.

Net loss was $1.7 billion, primarily due to materially higher charges for business and asset actions in fiscal year 2025. In the prior year, net income was $580.9.

Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 billion decreased 3%, or $31.1, primarily due to lower volumes, higher costs, and unfavorable currency. These impacts were partially offset by productivity improvements, higher pricing, and higher equity affiliates' income.

Loss per share of $7.77 was driven by an after-tax charge attributable to Air Products of $2.3 billion for business and asset actions recorded during the second quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted earnings per share was $2.69. In the prior year, earnings per share ("EPS") was $2.57 and adjusted EPS was $2.85. A summary table of changes to earnings (loss) per share is presented on page 44 below.

**Change versus prior period is not meaningful due to the $2.9 billion pre-tax charge for business and asset actions in fiscal year 2025. The per share impact of the charge is primarily reflected in the "Operating Items" section above.

(A)The per share impacts associated with charges for business and asset actions were calculated based on a total after-tax charge attributable to Air Products of $2.3 billion. The amount of the charges attributable to our noncontrolling partners was $3.5.

(B)The per share impact reflected within "Loss on de-designation of cash flow hedges" was calculated based on an after-tax loss attributable to Air Products of $3.0. The loss attributable to our noncontrolling partners was $7.5.
