Motion Technologies
MT revenue for the three months ended September 27, 2025 increased $10.7 primarily due to favorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by the Wolverine divestiture. For the nine months ended September 27, 2025, revenue decreased $54.4, primarily due to a loss of revenue of $89.1 as a result of the Wolverine divestiture, partially offset by favorable foreign currency translation of $20.4. Organic revenue for the three and nine-month periods increased $2.3 and $14.3, respectively, driven by strength in Friction original equipment and KONI rail shipments.
Industrial Process
IP revenue for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased $50.1 and $74.7, respectively, including growth from acquisitions of $5.6 and $19.5 and favorable foreign currency translation impacts of $6.7 and $2.8, respectively. Organic revenue for the three and nine-month periods increased by $37.8 and $52.4, respectively, primarily driven by pump project volume and favorable pricing actions.
Connect & Control Technologies
CCT revenue for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased by $52.0 and $161.7, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of kSARIA in September 2024, which contributed $37.6 and $135.4, respectively. Organic revenue for the three- and nine-month periods increased by $12.6 and $23.7, respectively, primarily driven by growth in aerospace and defense, inclusive of pricing actions.

The increases in gross profit and margin were primarily driven by benefits from higher volume and net savings from productivity and sourcing initiatives, partially offset by unfavorable sales mix and freight costs.

MT operating income for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 decreased $40.2 and $43.2, respectively, primarily due to the prior year gain on sale of $47.8 from the divestiture of Wolverine. Operating income for the three and nine-month periods benefitted from productivity savings and higher volume, as well as favorable foreign currency impacts, which more than offset higher labor and material costs.
IP operating income for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased $11.6 and $20.7, respectively, primarily driven by higher sales volume, benefits from pricing actions, and net savings from supply chain, restructuring savings and productivity initiatives. These increases were partially offset by the impact of higher restructuring expenses, and higher labor and overhead costs.
CCT operating income for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased $8.1 and $20.9, respectively, primarily driven by benefits from pricing actions, net savings from productivity, sourcing, and restructuring initiatives, as well as higher sales volume and contributions from kSARIA. The increases for both periods were partially offset by higher labor, material and strategic investment costs as well as higher temporary acquisition amortization from kSARIA.
Other corporate costs for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased $8.3 and $10.8, respectively, primarily due to higher incentive-based compensation costs and M&A related professional service costs, partially offset by favorable foreign currency impacts.

Total interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased $1.8 and $7.9, respectively, primarily due to higher average outstanding debt during the 2025 periods, partially offset by lower average interest rates on commercial paper borrowings.
Other non-operating income, net for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased $2.7 and $1.3, respectively, due to a gain on sale of an equity investment.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The ETR for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased to 25.7% and 25.4%, respectively, primarily related to the jurisdictional mix of earnings. The increase to the ETR year-over-year was partially driven by a prior year benefit related to the sale of the Wolverine business.
In October 2021, more than 135 countries and jurisdictions agreed to participate in a “two-pillar” international tax approach developed by the OECD, which includes establishing a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15 percent. The OECD published Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy — Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two) in December 2021 and subsequently issued additional commentary and administrative guidance clarifying several aspects of the model rules. Since the model rules have been released, many countries have enacted Pillar Two-related laws, many of which became effective January 1, 2024 with additional laws effective January 1, 2025. As of September 27, 2025, the Company does not expect Pillar Two taxes to have a significant impact on its 2025 financial statements.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts & Jobs Act provisions (both domestic and international) and expanding certain Inflation Reduction Act incentives while accelerating the phase-out of others. While the recently enacted legislation did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results for this quarter, we are currently reviewing its provisions in detail and evaluating its potential impact in future periods. We will continue to monitor any forthcoming guidance and will assess the effects on our business as more information becomes available.
