Our Company

Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE: RRX) is a global leader in the engineering and manufacturing of factory automation sub-systems, industrial powertrain solutions, automation and mechanical power transmission components, electric motors and electronic controls, air moving products and specialty electrical components and systems, serving customers around the world. Through longstanding technology leadership and an intentional focus on producing more energy-efficient products and systems, we help create a better tomorrow – for our customers and for the planet. We are headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and have manufacturing, sales and service facilities worldwide.

Our Company is comprised of four operating segments: Industrial Powertrain Solutions ("IPS"), Power Efficiency Solutions ("PES"), Automation & Motion Control ("AMC") and Industrial Systems. Effective during the first quarter of 2023, in conjunction with the Altra Transaction (as defined in the Acquisitions section below), we realigned our four operating segments with the change to our management structure and operating model. See Note 6 - Segment Information of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

A description of our four operating segments is as follows:

IPS consists of the majority of our previous Motion Control Solutions ("MCS") segment, excluding the conveying and aerospace business units, plus Altra's Power Transmission Technologies segment. The IPS segment designs, produces and services mounted and unmounted bearings, couplings, mechanical power transmission drives and components, gearboxes and gear motors, clutches, brakes, special components products and industrial powertrain components and solutions serving a broad range of markets including food and beverage, bulk material handling, eCommerce/warehouse distribution, energy, mining, marine, agricultural machinery, turf & garden and general industrial.

PES consists of our previous Climate Solutions and Commercial Systems segments. The PES segment designs and produces fractional to approximately 5 horsepower AC and DC motors, electronic variable speed controls, air moving solutions, and blowers for applications, spanning several markets including residential and commercial HVAC, water heaters, commercial refrigeration, commercial building ventilation, pool and spa, irrigation, agriculture, conveying and general commercial equipment.

AMC consists of our previous MCS aerospace and conveying business units, Altra's Automation & Specialty segment and the Thomson Power Systems business that was previously in our Industrial Systems segment. The AMC segment designs, produces and services conveyor products, conveying automation subsystems, aerospace components, rotary precision motion solutions, high-efficiency miniature motors and motion control products, automation transfer switches, switchgear for industrial applications and automation systems that enable and control the transition of rotary motion to linear motion. These products serve markets including material handling, aerospace and defense, factory automation, data centers, medical device, packaging, printing, semiconductor, robotic, industrial power tool, mobile off-highway, food & beverage processing and other applications.

Industrial Systems consists of our previous Industrial Systems segment excluding the Thomson Power Systems business. The Industrial Systems segment designs and produces integral motors, alternators for industrial applications, along with aftermarket parts and kits to support such products. These products serve markets including agriculture, marine, mining, oil and gas, food and beverage, data centers, prime and standby power, and general industrial equipment.

On September 23, 2023, we signed an agreement to sell our industrial motors and generators businesses, which represent the majority of the Industrial Systems operating segment, for total consideration of $400 million plus cash transferred at close, subject to working capital and other customary purchase price adjustments. This transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2024. The assets and liabilities related to these businesses have been reclassified to Assets Held for Sale, Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale, Liabilities Held for Sale and Noncurrent Liabilities Held for Sale on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023. The sale of the industrial motors and generators businesses does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results and, therefore, did not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations. See Note 4 - Held for Sale, Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Strategy

The Company seeks to create value for its key stakeholders – its customers, its shareholders and its associates – by accelerating profitable growth, raising our margins, generating more cash and increasing our return on invested capital. We also plan to create significant value for stakeholders by deploying excess capital towards maintaining a strong balance sheet and, over time, funding highly synergistic M&A activities. The primary aspects of our strategy to achieve our value creation objectives include:

Leveraging our 80/20 Initiatives to accelerate profitable growth. Our 80/20 initiatives encompass broadly-applicable, data-driven processes used to identify the select inputs that drive a majority of the related outputs, which we apply using a highly structured process to end markets, products and customers in order to focus our resources on the most valuable growth opportunities. Our 80/20 initiatives are embedded in the fabric of everything we do as a company, but particularly in aligning our product and service offerings to what our customers need and value – an alignment we measure on several metrics, but especially on our gross margins.

Deploying the Regal Rexnord Business System (‘‘RBS’’). RBS is our framework for continuous improvement, and it includes a set of tools, regularly deployed through thousands of targeted, continuous improvement events, or Kaizens, to systematically remove waste, variation and overburden from all our processes. Our disciplined use of RBS, in combination with our 80/20 initiatives, is critical to our strategy for driving profitable growth.

Raising our exposure to markets with secular growth tailwinds. We are focused on growing our position in prioritized secular growth markets, including some with strong regulatory tailwinds tied to rising energy efficiency requirements. These markets include the food and beverage, residential HVAC, alternative energy, aerospace, medical, warehouse/eCommerce and data center markets, as well as parts of the general industrial end market related to factory automation. We plan to direct a significant portion of our growth investments to end markets with secular growth characteristics.

Maintaining a strong portfolio of highly-engineered products and trusted, long-standing brands. Many of our products are characterized by technology leadership and reflect the Company’s deep application expertise. We regularly invest in our product portfolio to ensure that we are selling products that our customers value – a strategic directive embodied in our Regal Rexnord value of driving Innovation with Purpose. To this end, we plan to double our new product vitality in the medium term with the majority of new product introductions focused on serving secular growth markets, expanding our industrial powertrain offering, supporting rising demand for greater energy efficiency, and/or leveraging digital capabilities to enhance our products' performance and ease-of-use.

Providing a broader offering of increasingly robust sub-systems. One of our key product-related growth initiatives is selling more sub-systems, which integrate multiple products or components into a value-added solution. The significant scale and scope of our portfolio of power transmission components, automation solutions, and premium efficiency electric motors uniquely positions us to provide these sub-systems in close collaboration with users across a wide range of applications and end markets. One of our principal strategic initiatives in this regard is selling industrial powertrains, which combine our high-efficiency electric motors with the critical power transmission components that connect the motor to whatever it is powering, sold as an integrated solution. By engineering our components into sub-systems, we are able to provide customers with greater reliability, energy efficiency and enhanced data analytics, while often also reducing customers' engineering costs. A dedicated powertrain solutions team leverages relevant product, technology and application expertise from across our segments to provide a single point of contact for our customers to design and procure these sub-systems.

Utilizing our flexible global manufacturing presence. Our global manufacturing base consists of manufacturing locations across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the rest of the world. Our ability to shift production between locations has helped us navigate geopolitical, supply chain and other disruptions, and provide better service levels to our customers, including higher product availability and shorter lead times. We expect our flexible global manufacturing footprint will provide similar flexibility in the future.

Continuing to generate strong profitability and free cash flows. We expect to continue to maintain our long track record of strong free cash flow generation, which supports expeditious de-leveraging post acquisitions, as well as opportunities to fund inorganic growth initiatives, such as M&A activity and stock repurchases. The strong cash flow generating capabilities of our portfolio derive, in part, from a large installed base of our products, our reputation for strong product quality, our trusted and well-recognized brands, and high levels of like-for-like replacement activity for many of our products in the markets we serve.

Realizing synergies from our M&A transactions. Our acquisition of Altra, merger with the Rexnord PMC business and our acquisition of Arrowhead, all of which are discussed in additional detail below, are generating significant revenue and cost synergies, which we expect will contribute to our organic top line growth and meaningfully benefit our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins, net income, and free cash flow.

Ongoing portfolio assessment. We review our business portfolio on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to align with our growth strategy. On September 23, 2023, we signed an agreement to sell our industrial motors and generators businesses, which represent the majority of our Industrial Systems operating segment, for total consideration of $400 million plus cash transferred at close, subject to working capital and other customary purchase price adjustments. This transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2024. See Note 4 - Held for Sale, Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Acquisitions

Altra Transaction

On October 26, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Altra Merger Agreement”) by and among us, Altra Industrial Motion Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Altra”), and Aspen Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”). Altra is a leading global manufacturer of highly-engineered products and sub-systems in the factory automation and industrial power transmission markets. Regal Rexnord entered into the Altra Merger Agreement because it believes it can recognize substantial revenue and cost synergies through the combination. In particular, Altra transforms Regal Rexnord's automation portfolio into a global provider with significant sales into markets with secular growth characteristics. Altra also adds significant capabilities to Regal Rexnord's industrial power transmission portfolio, in particular in clutches and brakes, allowing it to provide a broader offering, and more robust industrial powertrain solutions to its customers.

On March 27, 2023, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Altra Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Altra (the "Altra Merger"), with Altra surviving the Altra Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Altra Transaction”). The preliminary purchase price for the acquisition of Altra was approximately $5.1 billion, subject to the finalization of purchase accounting. See Item 7 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 4 – Held for Sale, Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Altra Transaction.

Rexnord Transaction

On October 4, 2021, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 15, 2021 (the “Rexnord PMC Merger Agreement”), we completed our combination with the Rexnord PMC business of Zurn Water Solutions Corporation (formerly known as Rexnord Corporation) ("Zurn") in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Rexnord Transaction”). Pursuant to the Rexnord Transaction, (i) Zurn transferred to its then-subsidiary Land Newco, Inc. (“Land”) substantially all of the assets, and Land assumed substantially all of the liabilities, of the Rexnord PMC business (the “Reorganization”), (ii) after which all of the issued and outstanding shares of Land common stock held by a subsidiary of Zurn were distributed in a series of distributions to Zurn’s stockholders (the “Distributions”, and the final distribution of Land common stock from Zurn to Zurn’s stockholders, which was made pro rata for no consideration, the “Spin-Off”) and (iii) immediately after the Spin-Off, one of our subsidiaries merged with and into Land.

The total consideration transferred in connection with the Rexnord Transaction was approximately $4.0 billion. See Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 4 – Held for Sale, Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Rexnord Transaction.

Arrowhead Transaction

On November 23, 2021, we acquired Arrowhead Systems, LLC ("Arrowhead") for $315.6 million in cash, net of $1.1 million of cash acquired (the “Arrowhead Transaction”). The Arrowhead business is now part of the Automation & Motion Control segment. See Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 4 – Held for Sale, Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Arrowhead Transaction.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

We sell our products directly to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), distributors and end-users. We have multiple divisions that promote our brands across their respective sales organizations. These sales organizations consist of varying combinations of our own internal direct sales people as well as exclusive and non-exclusive manufacturers' representative organizations.

We operate large distribution facilities in Plainfield, Indiana; El Paso and McAllen, Texas; LaVergne, Tennessee; Florence, Kentucky; and Monterrey, Mexico which serve as hubs for our North American distribution and logistics operations. Products are shipped from these facilities to our customers utilizing common carriers. We also operate or partner with numerous warehouse and distribution facilities in our global markets to service the needs of our customers. In addition, we have select manufacturer representatives' warehouses located in specific geographic areas to serve local customers.

We derive a significant portion of revenue from our OEM customers. Certain portions of our sales are to key OEM customers which makes our relationship with each of these customers important to our business. We have long standing relationships with these customers and we expect these customer relationships will continue for the foreseeable future. Despite this relative concentration, we had no customer that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales in fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022 or fiscal 2021.

Competition

Power Efficiency Systems and Industrial Systems Segments

Electric motor and electronic drive manufacturing is a highly competitive global industry in which there is emphasis on quality, reliability, and technological capabilities such as energy efficiency, delivery performance, price and service. We compete with a large number of domestic and international competitors due in part to the nature of the products we manufacture and the wide variety of applications and customers we serve. Many manufacturers of electric motors and drives operate production facilities globally, producing products for both the US domestic and export markets. Global electric motor manufacturers, particularly those located in Europe, Japan, China, India and elsewhere in Asia, compete with us as they attempt to expand their market penetration around the world, especially in North America.

Industrial Powertrain Solutions and Automation & Motion Control Segments

These markets are fragmented. Many competitors in these markets offer limited product lines or serve specific applications, industries or geographic markets. Other larger competitors offer broader product lines that serve multiple end uses in multiple geographies. Competition in these segments is based on several factors including quality, lead times, custom engineering capability, pricing, reliability, and customer and engineering support.

Engineering, Research and Development

We believe that innovation is critical to our future growth and success and are committed to investing in new products, technologies and processes that deliver real value to our customers. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs for (i) salaries and related personnel expenses; (ii) the design and development of new energy efficiency products and enhancements; (iii) quality assurance and testing; and (iv) other related overhead. Our research and development efforts tend to be targeted toward developing new products that would allow us to gain additional market share, whether in new or existing segments.

We believe the key driver of our innovation strategy is the development of products that include energy efficiency, embedded intelligence and variable speed technology solutions. With our emphasis on product development and innovation, our businesses filed 38 Non-Provisional United States ("US") patents, 5 Provisional US patents and an additional 63 Non-Provisional foreign patents in fiscal 2023.

Each of our business units has its own, as well as shared, product development and design teams that continuously work to enhance our existing products and develop new products for our growing base of customers that require custom and standard solutions. We believe we have state-of-the-art product development and testing laboratories. We believe these capabilities provide a significant competitive advantage in the development of high quality motors, electric generators, and mechanical products incorporating leading design characteristics such as low vibration, low noise, improved safety, reliability, sustainability and enhanced energy efficiency. Increasingly, our research and development and other engineering efforts have focused on smart products that communicate and allow for monitoring, diagnostics and predictive maintenance.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

We own a number of US patents and foreign patents relating to our businesses. While we believe that our patents provide certain competitive advantages, we do not consider any one patent or group of patents essential to our business as a whole. We also use various registered and unregistered trademarks, and we believe these trademarks are significant in the marketing of most of our products. However, we believe the successful manufacture and sale of our products generally depends more upon our technological, manufacturing and marketing skills.

Manufacturing and Operations

We have developed and acquired global operations in locations such as Mexico, China, India and Europe so that we can sell our products in these markets, follow our multinational customers, take advantage of global talent and complement our flexible, rapid response operations in the US and Canada. Our vertically integrated manufacturing operations, including our own aluminum die casting and steel stamping operations, are an important element of our rapid response capabilities. In addition, we have an extensive internal logistics operation and a network of distribution facilities with the capability to modify stock products to quickly meet specific customer requirements. This gives us the ability to efficiently and promptly deliver a customer's unique product to the desired location.

We manufacture a majority of the products that we sell, but also strategically source components and finished goods from an established global network of suppliers. We strategically leverage a global supply chain to reduce our overall costs and lead-time. We generally maintain a dual sourcing capability to ensure a reliable supply source for our customers, although we do depend on a limited number of single source suppliers for certain materials and components. We regularly invest in machinery and equipment to improve and maintain our facilities. Base materials for our products consist primarily of steel, copper and aluminum. Additionally, significant components of our product costs consist of bearings, plastic, electronic assemblies, electronic components, permanent magnets and ferrous and non-ferrous castings.

The Regal Rexnord Business System is our enterprise-wide framework for continuous improvement. With our corporate values as its foundation, the Regal Rexnord Business System enables effective goal alignment, collaborative problem solving and sharing of best practices, tools, skills and expertise to achieve our objectives. Through relentless commitment to continuous improvement, we strive to elevate safety, quality, delivery, cost and growth performance of the business with the goal of exceeding the expectations of our customers, our associates and our shareholders.

Facilities

We have manufacturing, sales and service facilities in the US, Mexico, China, Europe, India, Thailand, and Australia, as well as a number of other locations throughout the world.

Our Industrial Powertrain Solutions segment currently includes 159 manufacturing, service, office and distribution facilities of which 58 are principal manufacturing facilities and 29 are principal warehouse facilities. The Industrial Powertrain Solutions segment's present operating facilities contain a total of approximately 11.5 million square feet of space, of which approximately 30% are leased.

Our Power Efficiency Solutions segment currently includes 67 manufacturing, service, office and distribution facilities, of which 21 are principal manufacturing facilities and 10 are principal warehouse facilities. The Power Efficiency Solutions segment's present operating facilities contain a total of approximately 5.2 million square feet of space, of which approximately 34% are leased.

Our Automation & Motion Control segment includes 68 manufacturing, service, office and distribution facilities, of which 25 are principal manufacturing facilities and 16 are principal warehouse facilities. The Automation & Motion Control segment's present operating facilities contain a total of approximately 2.6 million square feet of space, of which approximately 72% are leased.

Our Industrial Systems segment currently includes 29 manufacturing, service, office and distribution facilities of which 12 are principal manufacturing facilities and 7 are principal warehouse facilities. The Industrial Systems segment's present operating facilities contain a total of approximately 3.2 million square feet of space, of which approximately 39% are leased.

Our corporate offices are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in an approximately 142,000 square foot rented office building and in Rosemont, Illinois in an approximately 20,000 square foot rented office building. We believe our equipment and facilities are well maintained and adequate for our present needs. However, we continuously evaluate our property portfolio, including properties that have been or will be transferred to us pursuant to acquisitions, to ensure that our facilities are being used efficiently.

Backlog

Our business units have historically shipped the majority of their products within a month from when the order was received. As of December 31, 2023, our backlog was $1,884.4 million, as compared to $1,242.7 million on December 31, 2022. We believe that a majority of our backlog will be shipped in fiscal 2024.

Human Capital Management

At the end of fiscal 2023, we employed approximately 32,100 full-time associates worldwide. Of those associates, approximately 9,400 were located in the US; approximately 8,900 in Mexico; approximately 3,200 in China; approximately 2,900 in India; and approximately 7,700 in the rest of the world.

We feel that our associates are our most valuable assets and consider our associate relations to be very good. Our objective is to create a high-performing organization by attracting and retaining high-quality, diverse talent and creating an environment in which all associates have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The core goal of our performance management process is to develop and maintain a high-performing organization that is positioned to meet our business objectives. Creating a high-performing organization requires associates and managers to exhibit transparency in their day-to-day interactions, and use data to drive decision-making and accountability. Our performance management process focuses on enabling associates and managers to gain alignment through:

a structured annual goal-setting process where managers and associates work collaboratively to develop specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound ("SMART") goals that align with our overarching business objectives and our company values;

clear, organization-wide expectations that managers and associates monitor progress toward completion of their SMART goals with regular coaching sessions and periodic evaluations; and

an annual performance assessment that provides a direct link between the associate’s pay and performance.

In addition to our focus on performance, we also have a strong commitment to our company values of integrity, responsibility, diversity and inclusion, customer success, innovation with purpose, continuous improvement, performance, and a passion to win, all with a sense of urgency. We regularly promote these values from the top down. In addition to instilling our corporate values as a key part of associate life, we promote a commitment to ethics and compliance among our workforce through our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (our "Code"). In 2023, 97.9% of our global employees completed training on our Code during our annual training period.

As mentioned above, diversity and inclusion are rooted in our company values. We believe that we are at our best when we bring to bear the unique perspectives, experiences, backgrounds and ideas of our associates. We seek a workforce that reflects the communities in which we operate, and strive to create diverse, equal and inclusive workplaces where all of our associates have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. In 2021, as a sign of our commitment to this goal, we joined the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion, which is the largest CEO-driven organization committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and also signed the National Association of Manufacturers Pledge for Action to cement our commitment to advancing justice, equality and opportunity for all people of color. In 2022, we heightened our efforts by investing in resources to build a robust Diversity, Engagement & Inclusion ("DEI") team and have since expanded our leadership team in support of these efforts.

We are also committed to improving the health and well-being of our associates. Our US wellness program was established in 2008 and is continuously evolving to better educate, motivate and reward our associates for maintaining and achieving healthy measures. During our wellness plan year running from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023, 60% of our US associates participated in on-site biometric screening that provides them with key metrics such as BMI, blood pressure, and triglyceride, cholesterol and blood glucose levels. This represents an increase of 1% compared with our prior wellness plan year.

As a company, we believe that our value of responsibility requires community engagement, and we encourage our associates to share in our commitment to the communities where we operate. In addition to the numerous local community service projects in which our associate participate, we have an established charitable foundation for the purpose of coordinating financial donations to local charities. Our annual charitable giving is administered by an advisory board comprised of our associates. In 2023, the Company and the Company's Charitable Foundation allocated $1.2 million to support charitable organizations in the communities where our associates live and work globally. Disbursement of the remainder of the 2023 charitable commitment is ongoing. The amount we committed internationally in 2023 (predominantly in Mexico given the high concentration of our associates there) represented approximately 32% of our overall contributions.

Environmental Matters

We believe that positive environmental, social and governance ("ESG")-related business practices strengthen our Company by helping us better serve our customers, delivering higher returns for our shareholders, creating more opportunities for our associates, and making meaningful contributions to the communities in which we operate. In the realm of environmental impact, we have committed to setting both near-term emissions reduction targets, and net-zero targets. In 2022, we announced our commitment to achieving carbon emission neutrality in our operations across scopes 1 and 2 by 2032, and net-zero across scopes 1, 2, and 3 by 2050. Our focus has been on improving our environmental data reporting and accuracy, outlining a strategy to achieve our environmental impact goals, defining the relevant metrics to track our progress, and establishing a robust governance structure to help drive accountability.
