FIRST QUARTER 2026 VS. FIRST QUARTER 2025
Current report
•Operating income of $734.5 increased 14%, or $90.9, primarily due to favorable business mix, lower costs, and higher non‑helium merchant pricing. Operating margin of 23.7% increased 170 basis points ("bp") from 22.0% in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted operating income of $756.5 increased 12%, or $83.0, and adjusted operating margin of 24.4% increased 140 bp compared to 23.0% in the prior year. These non-GAAP results exclude charges recorded in fiscal year 2026 to update cost estimates related to prior-year business and asset actions as well as prior-year shareholder activism-related costs as discussed below.
Current report
•Earnings per share ("EPS") of $3.04 increased 10%, or $0.27 per share. A summary table of changes in EPS is presented on page 40. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted EPS of $3.16 increased 10%, or $0.30 per share, and also excludes non‑operating adjustments for a prior‑year gain on certain de‑designated hedging instruments and non‑service pension cost as discussed below.
Current report
Discussion of First Quarter Consolidated Results
Current report
Cost of sales of $2.1 billion increased 5%, or $91.0, primarily due to higher energy cost pass-through to customers of $79 and an unfavorable currency impact of $47. These increases were partially offset by $22 of lower costs related to sales volumes and $10 driven by productivity improvements and lower maintenance, which more than offset fixed-cost inflation. Gross margin of 32.1% increased 90 bp from 31.2% in the prior year as the benefits from favorable business mix and higher pricing were partially offset by higher energy cost pass-through to customers.
Current report
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we recorded charges of $28.3 ($24.6 after tax, or $0.11 per share) related to updated estimates for prior year project exits as described in Note 4, Business and Asset Actions, to the consolidated financial statements. These charges are not reflected in the results of our reportable segments.
Current report
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded shareholder activism-related costs of $29.9 ($21.9 after tax, or $0.10 per share) in connection with a proxy contest. These costs, which were not reflected in the results of our reportable segments, included legal and other professional service fees and proxy solicitation expenses.
Current report
Other income of $10.6 decreased 54%, or $12.3, primarily due to the prior year sale of a U.S. equity method investment.
Current report
Operating income of $734.5 increased 14%, or $90.9, due to favorable business mix of $26, lower costs of $23, higher pricing, net of power and fuel costs, of $22 driven by non-helium merchant, and favorable currency of $12. The lower costs include productivity improvements and lower maintenance, partially offset by fixed-cost inflation and the prior year sale of a U.S. equity method investment. A charge of $22 recorded in fiscal year 2026 to update cost estimates related to prior-year business and asset actions was more than offset by prior-year shareholder activism-related costs of $30. Operating margin of 23.7% increased 170 bp compared to 22.0% in the prior year, despite an approximate 50-basis-point headwind from higher energy cost pass-through to customers driven by the Americas segment.
Current report
On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the charge for business and asset actions and prior year shareholder activism-related costs discussed above, adjusted operating income of $756.5 increased 12%, or $83.0, and adjusted operating margin of 24.4% increased 140 bp compared to 23.0% in the prior year.
Current report
Equity affiliates' income of $172.2 increased 14%, or $21.6, driven by affiliates in the Americas and Europe segments.
Current report
Interest expense increased 28%, or $11.9, driven by higher interest incurred on principal borrowings from Euro- and U.S. Dollar-denominated senior fixed-rate notes issued in fiscal year 2025. Higher interest incurred was partially offset by a higher carrying value of ongoing projects under construction.
Current report
Other non-operating expense of $1.4 decreased $40.3 compared to income of $38.9 in the prior year, which included a $38.8 gain ($10.3 attributable to Air Products after tax, or $0.05 per share) on certain interest rate swaps held by the NEOM Green Hydrogen Company joint venture. The majority of these swaps were re‑designated as cash flow hedges by the end of fiscal year 2025, and the impact of any swaps that remained de‑designated in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was not material. Refer to Note 3, Variable Interest Entities, and Note 8, Financial Instruments, to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Current report
Lower interest income on short-term investments and a loss on cross‑currency interest rate swaps terminated in connection with business and asset actions were partially offset by lower non-service pension costs, which decreased to $3.4 ($2.5 after tax, or $0.01 per share) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $10.5 ($7.9 after tax, or $0.04 per share) in the prior year.
Current report
Operating income of $403.8 increased 4%, or $15.6, as higher pricing of $16 and favorable business mix of $3 were partially offset by higher costs of $4. Costs were modestly unfavorable as prior‑year income from the sale of an equity method investment and fixed-cost inflation more than offset lower maintenance. Operating margin of 30.1% was flat compared to prior year, as the benefits from favorable business mix and pricing were offset by a headwind of approximately 150 basis points from higher energy cost pass‑through to customers.
Current report
Equity affiliates’ income of $51.7 increased 47%, or $16.6, driven by an affiliate in Mexico.
Current report
Operating income of $232.3 increased 7%, or $15.9, due to lower costs of $15 driven by productivity, favorable business mix of $7, and favorable currency of $4, partially offset by lower pricing of $10. Depreciation was reduced in fiscal year 2026 due to certain coal gasification assets being classified as held for sale. Operating margin of 27.9% increased 140 bp from 26.5% in the prior year.
Current report
Equity affiliates’ income of $13.8 increased 34%, or $3.5, driven by affiliates in China.
Current report
Operating income of $223.5 increased 20%, or $37.0, due to higher volumes of $21, higher pricing of $16, and favorable currency of $11, partially offset by higher costs of $11. The increase in costs was primarily due to higher depreciation and fixed-cost inflation, partially offset by productivity-driven improvements. Operating margin of 28.6% increased 190 bp from 26.7% in the prior year, as the benefits from higher volumes and pricing were partially offset by higher costs.
Current report
Equity affiliates’ income of $23.4 increased 29%, or $5.2, driven by an affiliate in Italy.
Current report
Sales of $30.3 decreased 8%, or $2.5, due to lower volumes. Operating income was $5.8 compared to a loss of $0.6 in the prior year, primarily due to lower costs following the deconsolidation of Blue Hydrogen Industrial Gases Company ("BHIG") in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 as well as productivity improvements.
Current report
Equity affiliates' income of $84.5 decreased 1%, or $0.5.
Current report
** Percentage change versus prior period is not meaningful.
Current report
Sales of $117.0 increased 21%, or $20.2. Operating loss of $108.9 decreased 7%, or $8.1, primarily due to productivity-driven cost improvements.
Current report
Equity affiliates' loss was $1.2 compared to income of $2.0 in the prior year, driven by an affiliate in Algeria.
Current report
Readers are cautioned that non‑GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the corresponding GAAP measures. Our definitions and calculations of non‑GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other companies, which may limit comparability.
Current report
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Current report
Our non‑GAAP performance measures are adjusted to exclude gains or losses that management believes are not associated with the ongoing operations of our business. These adjustments, which are described below for the periods presented, are not reflected in the results of our reportable segments. Although these items are often difficult to predict, readers should be aware that similar gains or losses may occur in future periods. The related tax effects reflect the expected current and deferred income tax impacts of our non-GAAP adjustments, which are primarily driven by the statutory tax rates of the applicable jurisdictions and the taxability of the underlying adjustments in those jurisdictions.
Current report
Business and Asset Actions
Current report
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we recorded charges for business and asset actions totaling $28.3 ($24.6 after tax, or $0.11 per share) related to project exits announced in fiscal year 2025. Of these charges, $22.0 were recorded within operating income to reflect updated cost estimates as we settle project‑related commitments and sell associated assets. The remaining $6.3 was recorded to "Other non‑operating income (expense), net" and reflects losses on cross‑currency interest rate swaps terminated in connection with the early repayment of related intercompany loans for one of the affected gasification projects.
Current report
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded shareholder activism-related costs of $29.9 ($21.9 after tax, or $0.10 per share) in connection with a proxy contest. These costs included legal and other professional service fees and proxy solicitation expenses.
Current report
In fiscal year 2024, we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps due to changes in the anticipated drawdown timeline for hedged borrowings related to the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project. These swaps are held by NEOM Green Hydrogen Company, a consolidated joint venture accounted for under the variable interest model, in which Air Products holds a one-third ownership interest. As a result, unrealized gains and losses for the de-designated swaps were recorded to "Other non-operating income (expense), net" on our consolidated income statements. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded an unrealized gain of $38.8 ($10.3 attributable to Air Products after tax, or $0.05 per share), with $25.2 attributable to our noncontrolling partners.
Current report
We re-designated the affected swaps as outstanding borrowings under the available project financing became commensurate with the swaps’ notional values. The unrealized gain on swaps that remained de-designated during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was not material. As of 1 January 2026, all swaps have been re-designated as cash flow hedges.
Current report
Non-Service Related Pension Items
Current report
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES (NON-GAAP)
Current report
Capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure that management uses to evaluate our deployment of capital and assess alignment with our strategic priorities. Our calculation of this measure begins as the sum of cash paid for additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits, acquisitions (less cash acquired), investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, and investment in financing receivables, each of which are reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Current report
We then adjust this amount to exclude spending for additions to plant and equipment by our consolidated joint venture, NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (“NGHC”), to the extent such spending is funded by sources other than Air Products’ cash. These other funding sources include NGHC’s project financing, which is non‑recourse to Air Products, as well as equity contributions from the other joint venture partners. Management believes this adjustment provides a more useful view of the capital we deploy to support the ongoing growth of our business.

THIRD QUARTER 2025 VS. THIRD QUARTER 2024
Previous report
•Sales of $3.0 billion increased 1%, or $37.2, as higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 3%, higher pricing of 1%, and a favorable impact from currency of 1% were partially offset by lower volumes of 4%. The lower volumes primarily reflect the September 2024 LNG business divestiture, lower global helium demand, and project exits, partially offset by higher on-sites.
Previous report
•Operating income of $790.6 increased 7%, or $53.0, reflecting gains from the sale of a business and other assets, non-helium merchant pricing, and cost improvements. These benefits were partially offset by shareholder activism-related costs, a net charge for updated cost estimates related to previously announced business and asset actions, and the September 2024 LNG business divestiture. Operating margin of 26.2% increased 150 basis points ("bp") from 24.7% in the prior year.
Previous report
•Equity affiliates' income of $167.6 decreased 1%, or $1.3.
Previous report
•Net income of $723.2 increased 2%, or $14.3, as gains from the sale of a business and other assets, higher non-helium merchant pricing, and cost improvements were partially offset by lower volumes, shareholder activism-related costs, and a charge for business and asset actions.
Previous report
•Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 billion increased 3%, or $42.9, driven by favorable costs and higher pricing, partially offset by lower volumes.
Previous report
•EPS of $3.24 increased 4%, or $0.11 per share. EPS major factors are summarized in the table presented on page 47.
Previous report
•Adjusted EPS of $3.09 decreased 3%, or $0.11 per share. Adjusted EPS excludes a net gain of $0.15 per share driven by gains recognized on the sale of a business and other assets as well as other adjustments as summarized in the reconciliation on page 67.

Previous report
(B)The per share impact reflected within "Gain/Loss on de-designation of cash flow hedges" was calculated based on an after-tax loss attributable to Air Products of $0.1 during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared to a gain of $3.0 in the prior year period. The loss/gain attributable to noncontrolling interests was $0.1 and $7.3 for the three months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Discussion of Third Quarter Consolidated Results
Previous report
Cost of sales of $2.0 billion increased 2%, or $34.5, primarily due to higher energy cost pass-through to customers of $100, an unfavorable currency impact of $25, and higher power and fuel costs in our merchant business of $10, partially offset by lower costs of $102 attributable to lower sales volumes. Other costs were relatively flat as productivity improvements and lower planned maintenance were largely offset by higher depreciation expense and fixed-cost inflation. Gross margin of 32.5% decreased 30 bp from 32.8% in the prior year primarily due to higher energy cost pass-through to customers.
Previous report
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded a charge of $24.1 ($15.4 after tax, or $0.07 per share) related to business and asset actions. This charge reflects updated cost estimates associated with our previously announced decision to exit certain clean energy generation and distribution projects. For additional information, refer to the discussion for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 beginning on page 58 of this Management's Discussion and Analysis as well as Note 4, Business and Asset Actions, to the consolidated financial statements. The charge is not reflected in segment results.
Previous report
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded shareholder activism-related costs of $25.0 ($18.8 after tax, or $0.08 per share). These costs primarily reflect a cash reimbursement to Mantle Ridge for expenses incurred during its proxy engagement with Air Products. Refer to Note 19, Supplemental Information, for additional information. Shareholder activism-related costs are not reflected in segment results.
Previous report
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recognized a gain of $67.3 ($51.9 after tax, or $0.23 per share) on the sale of our 100% ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary in Singapore. This gain is not reflected in the results of the Asia segment. Refer to Note 5, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. Prior to the divestiture, the subsidiary contributed annual sales of approximately $50 to our Asia segment, primarily through the merchant gas supply mode.
Previous report
Other income of $36.5 increased 82%, or $16.4. The increase was driven by a $31.3 gain ($23.8 after tax, or $0.11 per share) on the sale of a regional office in Hersham, England, which was not reflected in the results of the Europe segment. In the prior-year quarter, other income benefited from a favorable legal settlement in our Americas segment related to energy management charges in connection with an extreme weather event in 2021.
Previous report
Operating income of $790.6 increased 7%, or $53.0. In fiscal year 2025, we recognized pre-tax gains totaling approximately $99 in connection with the sale of a consolidated subsidiary and a regional office, as described above. Compared to the prior year, higher pricing, net of power and fuel costs, favorably impacted operating results by $15, driven by non-helium merchant products. Costs were $9 favorable as productivity improvements and lower planned maintenance were partially offset by higher depreciation expense, fixed-cost inflation, and a favorable legal settlement recorded in the prior year. These items were partially offset by shareholder activism-related costs of $25 and charges for business and asset actions of $24. Additionally, volumes were unfavorable by $23, reflecting the September 2024 divestiture of the LNG business, lower global helium demand, and previously announced project exits. In the prior year, the LNG business contributed approximately $35 in operating income. These headwinds were partially offset by higher on-site volumes.
Previous report
Operating margin of 26.2% increased 150 bp compared to 24.7% in the prior year, primarily reflecting the margin impact of gains from the sale of a subsidiary and a regional office, partially offset by charges for business and asset actions and shareholder activism-related costs.
Previous report
Equity affiliates' income of $167.6 decreased 1%, or $1.3.
Previous report
Interest expense of $61.4 increased 10%, or $5.7, driven by the impact of project exits and a higher debt balance, partially offset by a higher carrying value of ongoing projects under construction.
Previous report
Other non-operating expense of $6.0 increased $4.7 from the prior year. De-designated interest rate swaps related to financing for the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project resulted in an immaterial unrealized loss in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared to a gain of $11.2 ($3.0 after tax, or $0.01 per share) in the prior year. Refer to Note 3, Variable Interest Entities, and Note 10, Financial Instruments, to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. Additionally, we recognized lower interest income on short-term investments in fiscal year 2025. These items were partially offset by a decrease in non-service pension costs, which were $10.9 ($8.1 after tax, or $0.04 per share) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 versus $25.3 ($19.1 after tax, or $0.09 per share) in the prior year.
Previous report
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded a pre-tax loss from discontinued operations of $10.6 ($8.0 after tax) primarily to increase our existing liability for retained environmental remediation obligations associated with production facilities in the atmospheric emulsions and global pressure sensitive adhesives businesses sold in 2008. Refer to the "Piedmont" discussion under Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information. The loss did not have an impact on our statement of cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025.
Previous report
Net income of $723.2 increased 2%, or $14.3. Fiscal year 2025 benefited from gains recognized in connection with the sale of a consolidated subsidiary and a regional office, higher non-helium merchant pricing, and lower non-service pension costs. Costs were also favorable, as productivity improvements and lower planned maintenance were partially offset by higher depreciation expense, fixed-cost inflation, and a prior year legal settlement. These items were partially offset by lower volumes, shareholder activism-related costs, and charges for business and asset actions. The lower volumes were primarily associated with the divestiture of the LNG business in September 2024. Additionally, fiscal year 2025 includes an after-tax loss from discontinued operations, primarily reflecting an increase to an existing liability for retained environmental remediation obligations associated with a previously divested business.
Previous report
Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 billion increased 3%, or $42.9, driven by favorable costs and higher pricing, partially offset by lower volumes.
Previous report
On 4 July 2025, H.R.1, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), was enacted in the United States. OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions (both domestic and international), expanding certain Inflation Reduction Act incentives, and accelerating the phase-out of other provisions. We are evaluating the impacts of this legislation on our consolidated financial statements.
Previous report
Despite the OBBBA’s revisions to the Inflation Reduction Act incentives, we still anticipate future benefits from tax incentives for certain carbon sequestration and clean hydrogen production projects.
Previous report
Operating income of $374.1 decreased 4%, or $17.0, primarily due to unfavorable costs of $21 and lower volumes of $4, partially offset by higher pricing, net of power and fuel costs in our merchant business, of $9. The unfavorable costs were driven by maintenance-related depreciation and a favorable prior year legal settlement. Operating margin of 29.7% decreased 200 bp from 31.7% in the prior year, primarily due to higher energy cost pass-through to customers.
Previous report
Equity affiliates’ income of $37.8 increased 1%, or $0.3.
Previous report
Operating income of $216.8 increased 8%, or $16.7. Favorable costs of $25, primarily due to productivity improvements and lower maintenance, were partially offset by $10 of lower pricing, net of power and fuel costs, which was primarily attributable to helium. Operating margin of 26.8% increased 150 bp from 25.3% in the prior year, as the cost improvement was partially offset by lower helium pricing.
Previous report
Equity affiliates’ income of $9.5 increased 9%, or $0.8.
Previous report
Operating income of $225.2 increased 10%, or $20.5, due to higher pricing of $14, net of power and fuel costs, favorable currency of $8, and higher volumes of $4, partially offset by higher costs of $5. The higher costs were driven by depreciation and fixed-cost inflation, partially offset by productivity improvements. Operating margin of 29.2% decreased 30 bp from 29.5% in the prior year as the higher costs and unfavorable business mix were partially offset by pricing.
Previous report
Equity affiliates’ income of $29.7 increased 13%, or $3.4, driven by an affiliate in Italy.
Previous report
Sales of $38.3 increased 17%, or $5.5, primarily due to higher volumes. Operating income was $8.1 compared to a loss of $1.4 in the prior year, which reflects the impact of lower costs and favorable volumes.
Previous report
Equity affiliates' income of $86.0 decreased 4%, or $3.2, driven by JIGPC.
Previous report
Sales of $142.9 decreased 39%, or $92.1, and operating loss of $83.1 increased 46%, or $26.2, primarily due to the divestiture of the LNG business in September 2024. Operating income generated by LNG in the prior year was approximately $35. The headwind from the LNG divestiture was partially offset by lower costs related to sale of equipment and productivity improvements.

Previous wording
Sales of $2.2 billion increased 5%, or $102.6, due to higher pricing of 2%, higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 2%, and a favorable impact from currency of 1%. The total segment price increase of 2% equates to a 4% improvement in our merchant business, driven by non-helium product lines. Volumes were flat as higher on-sites were offset by lower helium demand.

•Sales of $3.1 billion increased 6%, or $171.0, due to higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 3%, a favorable impact from currency of 2%, and higher pricing of 1%. Volumes were flat on a percentage basis as higher on-sites were offset by lower helium demand and a significant prior year, non-recurring helium sale to an existing merchant customer in the Americas segment.

THIRD QUARTER 2025 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Current wording
FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Previous wording
Sales of $3.0 billion increased 1%, or $37.2, as higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 3%, higher pricing of 1%, and a favorable impact from currency of 1% were partially offset by lower volumes of 4%. The increase in energy cost pass-through to customers was primarily due to higher natural gas prices in the U.S. Gulf Coast and California. The 1% total company price improvement, which equates to a 2% improvement for the merchant business, was driven by non-helium pricing actions primarily in the Europe and Americas segments. Currency was favorable as the U.S. Dollar weakened primarily against the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. Unfavorable volumes were driven by the divestiture of the LNG business in September 2024, which resulted in a headwind of approximately 2%, lower global helium demand, and previously announced project exits, partially offset by higher on-sites.
Current wording
Sales of $3.1 billion increased 6%, or $171.0, due to higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 3%, a favorable impact from currency of 2%, and higher pricing of 1%. The increase in energy cost pass-through to customers primarily reflects higher natural gas prices in North America, which are contractually recoverable under our on-site agreements. Currency was favorable as the U.S. Dollar weakened, most notably against the Euro. The 1% total company price improvement, which equates to a 2% improvement for the merchant business, was driven by non-helium pricing actions in the Americas and Europe segments. Volumes were flat as higher on-sites were offset by lower helium demand and a significant, non-recurring helium sale to an existing merchant customer in the Americas segment in the prior year.
Previous wording
Selling and administrative expense of $222.6 decreased 5%, or $12.8, as productivity improvements were partially offset by fixed-cost inflation. Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of sales decreased to 7.4% from 7.9% in the prior year.
Current wording
Selling and administrative expense of $228.7 decreased 6%, or $13.7, as productivity improvements were partially offset by labor inflation. Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of sales decreased to 7.4% from 8.3% in the prior year.

Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), net
Current wording
Of the first quarter charge, $22.0 was recorded to operating income and related to the settlement of project‑related commitments and sale of associated assets. The remaining $6.3 was recorded to "Other non‑operating income (expense), net" and reflects losses on cross‑currency interest rate swaps terminated in connection with the early repayment of related intercompany loans for one of the affected gasification projects.
Previous wording
Our estimates related to exiting these projects reflect our best judgment based on information available as of 30 June 2025. Final settlement of these items may differ materially from our current estimates, which could impact our consolidated financial statements in future periods. Additionally, our Board of Directors continues to review the business, which may lead to decisions that could result in additional charges in future periods.
Current wording
Our estimates reflect our best judgment based on information available as of 31 December 2025. Final settlement of these items may differ materially from current estimates, which could impact our consolidated financial statements in future periods.
Previous wording
Our effective tax rate was 17.9% and 16.6% for the three months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our effective rate was higher in fiscal year 2025 due to lower tax benefits on both U.S. export income and excess tax benefits on share-based compensation, and higher net costs on foreign-related income taxed in the U.S. These increases were partially offset by larger benefits in fiscal year 2025 for the release of certain unrecognized tax benefits upon expiration of the statute of limitations.
Current wording
Our effective tax rate was 18.7% and 17.8% for the three months ended 31 December 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our effective rate was higher in fiscal year 2026 primarily due to higher net costs on foreign-related income taxed in the U.S. and lower U.S. tax benefits for foreign-derived income, which were impacted by tax deductions for prior year business and asset actions. Also contributing to the higher current year rate were prior-year non-recurring gains on the de-designation of cash flow hedges in jurisdictions with lower tax rates. These increases were partially offset by the release of certain unrecognized tax benefits resulting from tax settlements in the current year.
Previous wording
Our adjusted effective tax rate, which excludes the impact of adjustments presented in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section beginning on page 66, was 18.1% and 16.9% for the three months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current wording
Our adjusted effective tax rate, which excludes the impact of adjustments presented in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section beginning on page 48, was 18.5% and 18.7% for the three months ended 31 December 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Discussion of First Quarter Results by Business Segment
Previous wording
Sales of $1.3 billion increased 2%, or $26.3, as higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 7% and favorable pricing of 1% were partially offset by lower volumes of 6%. Higher energy cost pass-through to customers was primarily attributable to higher natural gas prices in the U.S. Gulf Coast and California. The total segment price increase of 1% equates to a 3% improvement in our merchant business, primarily in non-helium product lines. Volumes were unfavorable primarily due to lower on-sites, including previously announced project exits, and lower helium demand.
Current wording
Sales of $1.3 billion increased 4%, or $54.1, as higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 6% and favorable pricing of 2% were partially offset by lower volumes of 4%. The higher energy cost pass-through reflects increased natural gas rates in the U.S. Gulf Coast and California. Pricing improved for non-helium products. The 2% total segment price increase equates to a 4% improvement in our merchant business. Volumes were unfavorable primarily due to a significant, non-recurring helium sale to an existing merchant customer in the prior year. Currency was flat compared to the prior year.
Previous wording
Sales of $810.0 increased 3%, or $20.4, as higher volumes of 2%, higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 1%, and a favorable currency impact of 1%, were partially offset by lower pricing of 1%. The higher volumes were driven by on-sites, partially offset by lower helium demand. The total segment pricing decline of 1% equates to a 4% decline in our merchant business, which was primarily attributable to helium.
Current wording
Sales of $831.5 increased 2%, or $14.4, as higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 2% and a favorable currency impact of 1% were partially offset by lower pricing of 1% primarily driven by helium. The 1% total segment price decrease equates to a 4% decline in our merchant business. Volumes were flat as new on-site assets were offset by lower demand for helium.
Previous wording
Sales of $770.5 increased 11%, or $77.1, due to favorable currency of 5%, higher volumes of 3%, higher pricing of 2%, and higher energy cost pass-through to customers of 1%. Favorable currency was primarily attributable to weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. The higher volumes were driven by on-sites, partially offset by lower helium demand. The total segment price increase of 2% equates to a 4% improvement in our merchant business, driven by non-helium product lines.
Current wording
Sales of $782.0 increased 12%, or $84.8, due to favorable currency of 8%, higher volumes of 5%, and higher pricing of 1%, partially offset by lower energy cost pass-through to customers of 2%, primarily due to lower natural gas rates. Favorable currency primarily reflected the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro. The higher volumes were driven by on-sites, including the impact of a prior-year turnaround, and non-helium merchant. Pricing improved for non-helium products. The 1% total segment price increase equates to a 2% improvement in our merchant business.

We provide these non-GAAP financial measures to allow investors, potential investors, securities analysts, and others to evaluate the performance of our business in the same manner as our management. We believe these measures, when viewed together with financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our historical financial performance and projected future results. However, we caution readers not to consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Readers should also consider the limitations associated with these non-GAAP financial measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another.
Current wording
We present certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") because they exclude items that management does not consider to be representative of our underlying business operations. We provide these adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to allow investors, potential investors, securities analysts, and others to evaluate our business in the same manner as management. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures offer a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our financial performance and support analysis of our results on a more consistent basis.

ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME AND ADJUSTED EPS
Current wording
Management uses non-GAAP performance measures, including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), to assess our performance because these measures exclude items that management does not consider to be representative of our underlying business operations. In addition, adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS are important components of our incentive compensation plans. We also use adjusted operating margin to assess operational efficiency, cost discipline, and overall profitability.
Previous wording
(A)Calculated and presented on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products.
Current wording
We reconcile each non‑GAAP performance measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure in the table below, followed by descriptions of each non-GAAP adjustment. Margins are calculated by dividing the applicable line item by consolidated sales for the relevant period. In addition to our non-GAAP performance measures, we also present components used in calculating adjusted EPS to illustrate the per share effect of our non‑GAAP adjustments. All per share amounts are calculated on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products. Because margins and per share amounts are calculated independently, the individual components may not sum to the related totals due to rounding.
Previous wording
In many cases, non-GAAP financial measures are determined by adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP measure to exclude gains or losses that we believe are not representative of our underlying business performance. For example, we exclude the impact of the non-service components of net periodic benefit/cost for our defined benefit pension plans. Non-service related components are recurring, non-operating items that include interest cost, expected returns on plan assets, prior service cost amortization, actuarial loss amortization, as well as special termination benefits, curtailments, and settlements. The net impact of non-service related components is reflected within “Other non-operating income (expense), net” on our consolidated income statements. Adjusting for the impact of non-service pension components provides management and users of our financial statements with a more accurate representation of our underlying business performance because these components are driven by factors that are unrelated to our operations, such as volatility in equity and debt markets. Further, non-service related components are not indicative of our defined benefit plans’ future contribution needs due to the funded status of the plans. Additionally, our adjustments this quarter include other gains and losses that are not associated with the ongoing operation of our business. These items are oftentimes difficult to predict; however, the reader should be aware that we may recognize similar gains or losses in the future.
Current wording
Non-service related pension items resulted in net non-operating costs of $3.4 ($2.5 after tax, or $0.01 per share) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $10.5 ($7.9 after tax, or $0.04 per share) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Non-service related components are recurring, non-operating items that include interest cost, expected returns on plan assets, prior service cost amortization, actuarial loss amortization, as well as special termination benefits, curtailments, and settlements. The net impact of non-service related components is reflected within “Other non-operating income (expense), net” on our consolidated income statements. Adjusting for the impact of non-service pension components provides management and users of our financial statements with a more accurate representation of our underlying business performance because these components are driven by factors that are unrelated to our operations, such as volatility in equity and debt markets. Further, non-service related components are not indicative of our defined benefit plans’ future contribution needs due to the funded status of the plans.

The effective tax rate equals the income tax provision divided by income before taxes. We calculate our adjusted effective tax rate by adjusting the numerator and denominator to exclude the tax and before tax impacts of our non-GAAP adjustments, respectively. The table below presents a reconciliation of the GAAP effective tax rate to our adjusted effective tax rate:
Current wording
The effective tax rate represents income tax expense divided by income before taxes as reported under GAAP. We calculate our adjusted effective tax rate by adjusting both the numerator and the denominator to exclude the tax and pre‑tax effects of our non‑GAAP adjustments, respectively.

Previous wording
We believe we have sufficient cash, cash flows from operations, and funding sources to meet our liquidity needs. As further discussed in the "Cash Flows From Financing Activities" section below, we have the ability to raise capital through a variety of financing activities, including accessing capital or commercial paper markets or drawing upon our credit facilities.

As further discussed in the "Cash Flows From Financing Activities" section below, we are able to raise capital through a variety of financing activities, including accessing capital or commercial paper markets or drawing upon our credit facilities.
Previous wording
As of 30 June 2025, we had $1.7 billion of foreign cash and cash items compared to total cash and cash items of $2.3 billion. We do not expect that a significant portion of the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and affiliates will be subject to U.S. income tax upon repatriation to the U.S. Depending on the country in which the subsidiaries and affiliates reside, the repatriation of these earnings may be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes. However, since we have significant current investment plans outside the U.S., it is our intent to indefinitely reinvest the majority of our foreign cash and cash items that would be subject to additional taxes outside the U.S.
Current wording
As of 31 December 2025, we held cash and cash items of $1.0 billion, substantially all of which was held outside the U.S. We do not expect a significant portion of the earnings from our foreign subsidiaries and affiliates to be subject to U.S. income tax upon repatriation. Depending on the country in which these entities operate, repatriation of earnings may be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes. However, we intend to indefinitely reinvest the majority of our foreign cash and cash items that would be subject to additional taxes outside the U.S.
Previous wording
For the first nine months of fiscal year 2024, cash used for investing activities was $4.8 billion. The use of cash primarily resulted from additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits, of $4.7 billion and an investment in financing receivables of $396.2. Refer to the "Capital Expenditures" section below for further detail. Proceeds from investments of $413.1 resulted from maturities of time deposits with terms greater than three months but less than one year and exceeded purchases of investments of $141.4.
Current wording
For the first three months of fiscal year 2025, cash used for investing activities was $2.2 billion. The use of cash primarily resulted from additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits, of $2.1 billion as discussed in the "Capital Expenditures" section below. Purchases of investments of $117.6 consisted of time deposits with maturities between three months and one year.

Substantially all the funding we provide to NGHC is limited for use by the joint venture for its capital expenditures. For additional information regarding this adjustment, refer to page 51.
Previous wording
It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to reconcile our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities because we are unable to identify the timing or occurrence of our future investment activity, which is driven by our assessment of competing opportunities at the time we enter into transactions. These decisions, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a significant effect on our cash used for investing activities.
Current wording
It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to reconcile our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities because management is unable to identify the timing or occurrence of our future investment activity, which is driven by our assessment of competing opportunities at the time we enter into transactions. These decisions, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a significant effect on our cash used for investing activities. Accordingly, management is unable to fully reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities.
Previous wording
We expect capital expenditures for fiscal year 2025 to be approximately $5 billion. We anticipate capital expenditures to be funded with our current cash balance and cash generated from continuing operations. We also have access to other sources of funding as discussed below.
Current wording
We expect capital expenditures for fiscal year 2026 to be approximately $4.0 billion, reflecting continued investment in our energy transition projects, traditional industrial gas projects, and maintenance within our core business. Approximately $1 billion is expected to be dedicated to traditional industrial gas projects. We anticipate funding these expenditures through our existing cash balance and cash generated from continuing operations. We also have access to capital and money market financing as well as other sources of funding as discussed in the "Financing and Capital Structure" section below.
Previous wording
For the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $3.0 billion. The source of cash was driven by long-term debt proceeds of $4.0 billion, including $2.7 billion from Euro- and U.S. Dollar-denominated senior fixed-rate notes in February and June 2025. We used the net proceeds from the February 2025 Offering to repay commercial paper obligations, including those incurred prior to the closing of the February 2025 Offering that were used to repay €300 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 1.000% Euro-denominated senior fixed-rate notes at maturity, plus accrued interest. We intend to use the net proceeds from the June 2025 Offerings to repay commercial paper obligations and for general corporate purposes. The remaining $1.3 billion was provided from project financing available to the NGHC joint venture as further discussed below. Additionally, we received $485.9 from noncontrolling interests in NGHC and BHIG and proceeds, net of repayments, of $214.7 from commercial paper and short-term instruments. These sources of cash were partially offset by dividend payments to shareholders of $1.2 billion.
Current wording
For the first three months of fiscal year 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $274.2. The source of cash was driven by long-term debt proceeds of $459.2 and investments by noncontrolling interests of $280.9, both of which primarily relate to capital spending by NGHC. These sources of cash were partially offset by dividend payments to shareholders of $393.6.
Previous wording
Total debt increased to $17.7 billion as of 30 June 2025 from $14.2 billion as of 30 September 2024. We issued Euro- and U.S. Dollar-denominated senior fixed-rate notes in February and June 2025, which together had a combined carrying value of $2.9 billion as of 30 June 2025. Total debt also increased due to incremental borrowings under a project financing arrangement related to the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project as further discussed below as well as commercial paper issuances. Total debt included related party debt of $298.2 and $304.4 as of 30 June 2025 and 30 September 2024, respectively.
Current wording
Total debt decreased to $17.5 billion as of 31 December 2025 from $17.7 billion as of 30 September 2025. As noted above, we repaid at maturity $550.0 aggregate principal amount of our 1.50% senior notes due October 2025, plus accumulated and unpaid interest through the maturity date. This repayment was partially offset by approximately $365 in incremental long-term principal borrowings under a project financing arrangement related to the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project, which is non-recourse to Air Products, as further discussed below. Total debt included related party debt of $240.7 and $236.5 as of 31 December 2025 and 30 September 2025, respectively.
Previous wording
