2025 in Summary

Fiscal year 2025 was a transitional year for Air Products, marked by a renewed focus on our core industrial gas business under the leadership of our new Chief Executive Officer, who joined the Company in February 2025. We took decisive actions to reshape our portfolio, including the cancellation and descoping of several large energy transition projects, and enhance operations through targeted productivity initiatives. We also sharpened our approach to capital deployment, emphasizing strict return thresholds, appropriate risk-sharing, and alignment with long-term customer relationships. These efforts are helping to improve execution and support reductions in capital expenditures and debt over time.

Key results versus the prior year include:

Sales of $12.0 billion decreased 1%, or $63.3, as 4% lower volumes were partially offset by 2% higher energy cost pass-through to customers and 1% higher pricing driven by non-helium merchant products across all regions. Lower volumes primarily reflect the September 2024 LNG sale, lower global helium demand, and previously announced project exits, partially offset by higher on-sites and favorable non-helium merchant.

Operating loss was $877.0 compared to operating income of $4.5 billion in fiscal year 2024. The operating loss in fiscal year 2025 included approximately $3.7 billion in pre-tax charges related to business and asset actions ($3.0 billion after tax, or $13.68 per share). Operating income in fiscal year 2024 included a $1.6 billion pre-tax gain on the September 2024 sale of the LNG business ($1.2 billion after tax, or $5.38 per share).

Adjusted operating income of $2.9 billion decreased 3%, or $89.8, due to lower volumes and higher costs, partially offset by higher non-helium pricing. The higher costs were driven by fixed-cost inflation and depreciation, partially offset by productivity improvements across all segments.

Equity affiliates' income of $647.7 was flat. Increased contributions from affiliates in the Europe and Asia segments were offset by lower income from affiliates in the Corporate and other, Middle East and India, and Americas segments.

Net loss was $354.4 compared to net income of $3.9 billion in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was primarily due to higher charges for business and asset actions in fiscal year 2025 and the prior year gain from the sale of the LNG business.

Adjusted EBITDA of $5.1 billion increased 1%, or $30.1.

Loss per share of $1.74 was driven by an after-tax charge attributable to Air Products of $3.0 billion for business and asset actions recorded during fiscal year 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") was $12.03. In the prior year, EPS was $17.24 and adjusted EPS was $12.43. A summary table of changes in EPS is presented on page 31.

We believe providing a consistent dividend plays a critical part in the creation of shareholder value. During fiscal year 2025, we marked our 43 rd consecutive year of increasing our dividends and returned approximately $1.6 billion to our shareholders through dividend payments.

**Change versus prior period is not meaningful due to materially higher charges for business and asset actions in fiscal year 2025. The per share impact of these charges is primarily reflected in the "Operating Items" section in the table 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 approximately $3.0 billion ($13.68 per share). The amount of the charges attributable to our noncontrolling partners was $10.7.

(B)Gain on the sale of a regional office in Hersham, England, is reflected on the consolidated income statements within "Other income (expense), net."

(C)The per share impact reflected within "Gain on de-designation of cash flow hedges" was calculated based on an after-tax gain attributable to Air Products of $7.2 ($0.03 per share) compared to a loss of $4.3 ($0.02 per share) in the prior year. Amounts attributable to our noncontrolling partners were a gain of $17.6 and a loss of $10.6, respectively.

The table below summarizes the diluted per share impact of our non-GAAP adjustments in fiscal years 2025 and 2024. These impacts were calculated independently and may not sum to totals due to rounding.
