CARLISLE COMPANIES INC

Note 1—Summary of Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Carlisle Companies Incorporated, its wholly owned subsidiaries and their subsidiaries, referred to herein as the “Company” or “Carlisle,” is a manufacturer and supplier of innovative building envelope products and solutions for more energy-efficient buildings. Through its building products businesses, Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM") and Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies ("CWT"), and family of leading brands, Carlisle delivers innovative, labor-reducing and environmentally responsible products and solutions to customers through the Carlisle Experience.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company reclassified certain prior periods' amounts to conform with the current presentation of the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity to present the cost of excise taxes on share repurchases within repurchases of common stock instead of issuances and deferrals, net for stock-based compensation. The Company reclassified certain prior periods' amounts to conform with the current presentation of the revenues by geographic area in Note 2—Segment Information to aggregate the Asia and Middle East revenues into other, and aggregate the Africa revenues into other. The Company reclassified certain prior periods' amounts to conform with the current presentation of the rate reconciliation in Note 9—Income Taxes to aggregate the change in unrecognized tax benefit into other, net and reclassify tax credits from other, net to a separately disclosed line item.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Matters

The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries outside the United States of America ("United States" or "U.S.") is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to the U.S. Dollar at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities and associated income statement activity of foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar and the records are maintained in the local currency are included in other non-operating expense (income), net.

Discontinued Operations

The results of operations for the Company's Carlisle Fluid Technologies ("CFT") and Carlisle Interconnect Technologies ("CIT") businesses have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Assets and liabilities subject to the sale of CIT have been reclassified as held for sale for the prior period presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Refer to Note 4 for additional information.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of total consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Total expected consideration, in certain cases, is estimated at each reporting period, including interim periods, and is subject to change with variability dependent on future events, such as customer behavior related to future purchase volumes, returns, early payment discounts and other customer allowances. Estimates for rights of return, discounts and rebates to customers and other adjustments for variable consideration are provided for at the time of sale as a deduction to revenue, based on an analysis of historical experience and actual sales data. Changes in these estimates are reflected as an adjustment to revenue in the period identified. Sales, value added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

The Company receives payment at the inception of the contract for separately priced extended service warranties, and revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts. The term of these warranties ranges from five to 40 years. The weighted-average life of the contracts as of December 31, 2024, is approximately 20 years.

Refer to Note 6 for further information on revenue recognition.

Costs to Obtain a Contract

Costs to obtain a contract are recognized as expenses as incurred, as the amortization period of these costs would be one year or less. These costs generally include sales commissions and are included in selling and administrative expenses.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Costs incurred to physically transfer product to customer locations are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. Charges passed on to customers are included in revenues.

Other Non-operating Expense (Income), net

Other non-operating expense (income), net primarily includes foreign currency exchange (gains) losses, (gains) losses on pension settlements, (gains) losses from Rabbi Trust investments and (gains) losses on sales of a business.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair-value method. For equity-classified awards, the cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. This requisite service period typically matches the award's stated vesting period but may be shorter if the award fully vests upon the employee's retirement or termination from the Company. The Company recognizes compensation cost for awards that have graded vesting features under the graded vesting method, which considers each separately vesting tranche as though they were, in substance, a separate award. The Company also accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.

Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.

Income taxes include an estimate of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding income taxes.

Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired are considered cash equivalents.

Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

Receivables are stated at amortized cost, net of allowances for credit losses. The Company regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers by reviewing their credit information. This assessment determines if any events have occurred subsequent to revenue recognition that indicate the receivable might be realized at an amount less than that recognized at the time of sale. Credit loss estimates are based on historical losses, current economic conditions, geographic considerations, and in some cases, assessments of specific customer accounts for potential risk of loss.

Changes in the Company's allowance for credit losses by segment follows:

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined primarily on an average cost basis. Cost of inventories includes raw materials, direct and indirect labor, and manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead includes materials; depreciation and amortization related to property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets used directly and indirectly in the acquisition and production of inventory; and costs related to the Company’s distribution network such as inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs and other such costs associated with preparing the Company’s products for sale.

Refer to Note 9 for further information regarding inventories.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost including interest costs associated with qualifying capital additions. Costs allocated to property, plant and equipment of acquired companies are based on estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is principally computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives are generally 20 to 40 years for buildings, five to 15 years for machinery and equipment andtwo to 20 years for leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the shorter of the underlying lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life.

Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding property, plant and equipment.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets or asset groups, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company groups its long-lived assets classified as held and used at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets and liabilities for purposes of testing for impairment. The Company’s asset groupings vary based on the related business in which the long-lived assets are employed and the interrelationship between those long-lived assets in producing net cash flows; for example, multiple manufacturing facilities may work in concert with one another or may work on a stand-alone basis to produce net cash flows. The Company utilizes its long-lived assets in multiple industries and economic environments and its asset groupings reflect these various factors.

The Company monitors the operating and cash flow results of its long-lived assets or asset groups classified as held and used to identify whether events and circumstances indicate the remaining useful lives of those assets should be adjusted or if the carrying value of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. Undiscounted estimated future cash flows are compared with the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group in the event indicators of impairment are identified. If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the Company determines the fair value of the asset or asset group and records an impairment charge in current earnings to the extent carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair values may be determined based on estimated discounted cash flows by prices for like or similar assets in similar markets or a combination of both.

Long-lived assets or asset groups that are part of a disposal group that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale are not assessed for impairment, but rather a loss is recorded against the disposal group if fair value, less cost to sell, of the disposal group is less than its carrying value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, at a reporting unit level by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company's annual testing date for goodwill is November 1. The Company determined it hadfour reporting units within itstwo reportable segments. As noted earlier, the CIT business and its corresponding reporting unit has been reclassified as held for sale for the prior period.

Intangible assets are recognized and recorded at their acquisition date fair values. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of acquired customer relationships, patents and technology, and certain trade names. The Company determines the useful life of its definite-lived intangible assets based on multiple factors including the size and make-up of the acquired customer base, the expected dissipation of those customers over time, the Company’s own experience in the particular industry, the impact of known trends such as technological obsolescence and product demand and the period over which expected cash flows are used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset at acquisition. The Company periodically re-assesses the useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that useful lives have significantly changed from the previous estimate.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. The Company's annual testing date for indefinite-lived intangible assets is November 1. The Company periodically re-assesses indefinite-lived intangible assets as to whether their useful lives can be determined and, if so, begins amortizing any applicable intangible asset.

Refer to Note 11 for additional information regarding goodwill and other intangible assets.

Extended Product Warranty Reserves

The Company offers extended warranty contracts on sales of certain products; the most significant being those offered on its installed roofing and weatherproofing systems. Current costs of services performed under these contracts are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold. The Company would record a reserve within accrued expenses if the total expected costs of providing services at a product line level exceed unamortized deferred revenues. Total expected costs of providing extended product warranty services are actuarially determined using standard quantitative measures based on historical claims experience and management judgment.

Refer to Note 6 and Note 12 for additional information regarding deferred revenue and extended product warranties.

Pension

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans primarily for certain domestic employees. The annual net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations related to these plans are determined on an actuarial basis annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. This determination requires assumptions to be made concerning general economic conditions (particularly interest rates), expected return on plan assets, increases to compensation levels and mortality rate trends. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience can result in a change in the net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations.

The defined benefit pension plans’ assets are measured at fair value annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. The Company uses the market related valuation method to determine the value of plan assets for purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit cost. The market related valuation method recognizes the change of the fair value of the plan assets over five years. If actual experience differs from these long-term assumptions, the difference is recorded as an actuarial gain (loss) and amortized into earnings over a period of time based on the average future service period, which may cause the expense related to providing these benefits to increase or decrease.

Refer to Note 14 for additional information regarding these plans and the associated plan assets.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating if the asset is explicitly or implicitly identified or distinct, if the Company will receive substantially all of the economic benefit or if the lessor has an economic benefit and the ability to substitute the asset.

Right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease, measured based on the present value of fixed and known lease payments over the lease term, and recorded in other long-term assets, accrued and other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities. Variable payments are not included in the ROU asset or lease liability and can vary from period to period based on the use of an asset during the period or the Company's proportionate share of common costs. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has lease agreements with lease components and non-lease components. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for these components as a single lease component, for all classes of underlying assets.

Refer to Note 16 for additional information regarding leases.

Contingencies and Insurance Recoveries

The Company is exposed to losses related to various potential claims related to its employee obligations and other matters in the normal course of business, including commercial, employee, environmental or other regulatory claims. The Company records a liability related to such potential claims, both those reported to the Company and incurred but not yet reported, when probable and reasonably estimable. The Company expenses legal defense costs related to such matters as incurred.

The Company maintains occurrence-based insurance contracts related to certain contingent losses, primarily workers’ compensation, medical and dental, general liability, property, and product liability claims up to applicable retention limits as part of its risk management strategy. The Company records a recovery under these insurance contracts when such recovery is deemed probable. Insurance proceeds in excess of realized losses are gain contingencies and not recorded until realized.

Refer to Note 16 for additional information regarding contingencies and insurance recoveries.

Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting

From time to time, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge various risks to cash flows or the fair value of recognized assets and liabilities, including those arising from fluctuations in foreign currencies, interest rates and commodities. The Company recognizes these instruments at the time they are entered into and measures them at fair value. For instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period, less any excluded components, are classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss, until the underlying transaction being hedged impacts earnings. The excluded components are recorded in current period income (loss). For those instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges under GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period of both the derivative instrument and underlying hedged item are recognized currently in earnings. For those instruments not designated or those that do not qualify as hedges under GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period are classified immediately in current period income, within other non-operating expense (income), net.

Refer to Note 17 for a description of the Company's current derivative instrument and hedging activities.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024 using a retrospective approach to all prior periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not require an implementation adjustment and did not impact the Company's consolidated net income or cash flows. Refer to Note 2 for updated disclosures.

New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures("ASU 2023-09"), which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments which are intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2025 and allows the use of a prospective or retrospective approach. The Company plans to adopt the standard on January 1, 2025 and is evaluating the impact of the adoption on the Consolidated Financial Statements but does not anticipate that adoption of the standard will have a material impact.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), which is intended to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales; selling, general, and administrative expenses; and research and development). ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2027 and allows the use of a prospective or retrospective approach. The Company plans to adopt the standard on January 1, 2027 and has not yet determined the potential impact.

Note 2—Segment Information

The Company reports its results of operations throughtwo segments, each of which represents a reportable segment as follows:

Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM")—this segment produces a complete line of premium single-ply roofing products and warranted roof systems and accessories for the commercial building industry, including ethylene propylene diene monomer (“EPDM”), thermoplastic polyolefin (“TPO”) and polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) membrane, polyiso insulation, and engineered metal roofing and wall panel systems for commercial and residential buildings.

A summary of cash flows from discontinued operations included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows follows:

(1)Represents (repayments) or borrowings from the Carlisle cash pool to fund working capital and capital expenditures and return of capital upon sale.

Note 5—Earnings Per Share

The Company’s restricted shares contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The computation below of earnings per share excludes income attributable to the unvested restricted shares from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares from the denominator.

The computation below of earnings per share includes the income attributable to the vested and deferred restricted shares and restricted stock units in the numerator and includes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares in the denominator.

Stock options are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share utilizing the treasury stock method and performance share awards are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share considering those are contingently issuable. Neither is considered to be a participating security as they do not contain non-forfeitable dividend rights.

Income from continuing operations and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations using the two-class method follows:

To calculate earnings per share for income from discontinued operations and for net income, the denominator for both basic and diluted earnings per share is the same as used in the above table.

(1)Represents stock options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as such options’ assumed proceeds upon exercise would result in the repurchase of more shares than the underlying award.

Note 6—Revenue Recognition

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer in exchange for payment and is the unit of account. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer individual goods or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the contract's transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is observable prices.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and control is transferred, either at a point in time or over time as work progresses. For the majority of the Company’s products, control is transferred, and revenue is recognized when the product is shipped from the manufacturing facility or delivered to the customer, depending on shipping terms. Revenue is recognized over time primarily for separately priced extended service warranties in the CCM and CWT segments. Revenues for separately priced extended service warranties are recognized over the life of the contract. A summary of the timing of revenue recognition and reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by reportable segment follows:

Remaining performance obligations for extended service warranties represent the transaction price for the remaining stand-ready obligation to perform warranty services. A summary of estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of December 31, 2024 follows:

The Company has applied the practical expedient to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Contract Balances

Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under a contract, primarily related to extended service warranties in the CCM and CWT segments. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. A summary of the change in contract liabilities follows:

Revenues by End-Market

A summary of revenues disaggregated by major end-market industries and reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by segment follows:

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation

Incentive Compensation Program

The Company maintains an Incentive Compensation Program, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2024 (the “Program”), under which the Company may award stock options and other equity-based incentives to the Company’s directors, officers, employees or consultants. The Program was originally approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As of December 31, 2024,2.8 million shares remained available for issuance under the Program, and 0.8 million of those shares were available for grant as restricted shares, performance shares or other “full value” awards.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company awarded 117 thousand stock options,36 thousand restricted stock awards and 24 thousand performance share awards as part of the Program with an aggregate grant-date fair value of approximately $34.7 million to be recognized over the requisite service period for each award.

Stock-based compensation cost by award type follows:

In 2022, Carlisle's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a broad-based grant of stock options to U.S. employees. This grant contributed $5.0 million, $6.7 million and $2.9 million to stock-based compensation costs for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.7 million of compensation costs were capitalized to inventory as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is recognized in costs of goods sold when that related inventory is sold.

Stock Option Awards

Stock options awarded under the Program generally vest on a straight-line basis over athree-year period on the anniversary date of the grant. All stock options have a maximum contractual term of 10 years. Shares issued to cover stock options issued under the Program may be issued from shares held in treasury, from new issuances of shares or a combination of the two. Unrecognized compensation cost from continuing operations related to stock options of $11.1 million as of December 31, 2024, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.

The Company determines the fair value of its stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which relies on certain assumptions to estimate an option’s fair value. The weighted average assumptions used in the determination of fair value for stock options follows:

The expected term of a stock option is based on the assumption that all outstanding stock options will be exercised at the midpoint of the valuation date (if vested) or the vesting dates (if unvested) and the stock options’ expiration date. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility, as well as implied volatility of the Company’s call options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates of U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining life equal to the expected term of the stock option. The expected dividend yield is based on the latest quarterly dividend payment per share, annualized, divided by the average three-month stock price as of the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awarded under the Program is generally released to the recipient after a period of approximately three years. Unrecognized compensation cost from continuing operations related to restricted stock of $9.1 million as of December 31, 2024, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Additional information related to restricted stock award activity during the years ended December 31 follows:

Performance Share Awards

Performance shares are granted for athree-year performance period, after which the actual number of performance shares earned by an employee is determined by the Company's attainment of a management objective which is based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return versus the S&P Midcap 400 Index® over athree-year time period. Unrecognized compensation cost from continuing operations related to performance share awards of $10.7 million as of December 31, 2024, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

For purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, the performance share awards are considered contingently issuable shares and are included in diluted earnings per share based upon the number of shares that would have been awarded had the conditions at the end of the reporting period continued until the end of the performance period. Refer to Note 5 for further information regarding earnings per share computations.

The Company utilizes the Monte-Carlo simulation approach based on athree-year measurement period to determine the fair value of performance shares. Such approach entails the use of assumptions regarding the future performance of the Company’s stock and those of the S&P Midcap 400 Index®. Those assumptions include expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, correlation coefficients and dividend reinvestment. Dividends accrue on the performance shares during the performance period and are to be paid in cash based upon the number of awards ultimately earned.

Deferred Compensation - Equity

Certain employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). Participants have elected to defer an aggregate of 59 thousand and 63 thousand shares of Company common stock as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Company stock held for future issuance of vested awards is classified as additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is recorded at vest date fair value. Such deferred shares are included in basic earnings per share.

A reconciliation of the tax provision from continuing operations computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate to the actual tax provision follows:

Cash payments for income taxes, net of refunds, were $324.2 million, $247.7 million and $295.8 million, in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Deferred Tax Assets (Liabilities), net

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as long-term. Foreign deferred tax assets and liabilities are grouped separately from U.S. domestic assets and liabilities and are analyzed on a jurisdictional basis.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet follows:

Valuation Allowances

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had federal capital loss carryforwards of $35.2 million, which expire in 2029. The Company believes it is likely the carryforwards will expire unused and therefore has established a full valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal tax purposes of $2.0 million, which begin to expire in 2025. The Company believes it is likely the credits will expire unused and therefore has established a full valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2024, the Company also had a deferred tax asset for state tax attributes of approximately $19.2 million, which begin to expire in 2026, comprised of net operating loss ("NOL"), credits, and capital loss carryforwards. The Company believes that it is likely that the capital losses and certain of the state NOLs will expire unused and therefore has established a valuation allowance of approximately $13.5 million against the deferred tax assets associated with these attributes. The Company also has deferred tax assets related to carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of approximately $15.7 million, comprised of NOL and interest expense carryforwards, which begin to expire in 2025. The Company believes that it is likely that certain foreign NOL carryforwards will expire unused and therefore has established a valuation allowance of approximately $0.9 million.

Undistributed Foreign Earnings

The Company has determined that an amount attributable to certain foreign cash balances and other certain assets is not permanently reinvested for withholding tax purposes, which results in an accrual of $6.3 million. It is not practicable to calculate deferred tax balances on other basis differences.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between the tax benefits of positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the tax benefits that meet the criteria for current recognition in the financial statements. The Company periodically assesses its unrecognized tax benefits.

A summary of the movement in gross unrecognized tax benefits (before estimated interest and penalties) follows:

If the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 were to be recognized, approximately $8.4 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The amount impacting the Company’s effective rate is calculated by adding accrued interest and penalties to the gross unrecognized tax benefit excluding positions related to discontinued operations and subtracting the tax benefit associated with state taxes and interest.

The Company classifies and reports interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision on the Consolidated Statements of Income and as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of such interest and penalties accrued, but excluded from the table above, at the years ending December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company participates in the IRS compliance assurance program and is currently up to date.

Generally, state income tax returns are subject to examination for a period ofthree years tofive years after filing. Substantially all material state tax matters have been concluded for tax years through 2018. Various state income tax returns for subsequent years are in the process of examination. At this stage the outcome is uncertain; however, the Company believes that contingencies have been adequately provided for. Statutes of limitation vary among the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Substantially all foreign tax matters have been concluded for tax years through 2013. The Company believes that foreign tax contingencies associated with income tax examinations underway or open tax years have been provided for adequately.

Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, the Company believes that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $0.5 million to $1.5 million. These previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax issues including tax matters relating to prior acquisitions and various state matters.

Tax Legislation

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has introduced a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15%, referred to as Pillar Two. Certain countries in which the Company operates have adopted legislation and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar Two. However, it is uncertain whether the U.S. will adopt Pillar Two. While the Company does not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on its effective tax rate, analysis is ongoing as the OECD releases additional guidance and countries implement additional legislation.

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA"). The IRA includes various tax provisions, including a 15% corporate minimum income tax rate ("CAMT") and expanded tax credits for clean energy incentives. The CAMT does not impact the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of CAMT on future years. Additionally, the Company purchased transferable federal tax credits during 2024 from various counterparties. Such federal tax credits were purchased at negotiated discounts, resulting in an income tax benefit recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company incurred costs, primarily underwriting fees, to issue the 2030 Notes of approximately $6.5 million. Additionally in the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into interest rate derivative instruments to hedge variability in future interest payments on the 2030 Notes of the 10-year US Treasury Rate ("treasury locks"), which were designated as hedges, and settled resulting in a loss of $16.4 million. The discount and issuance costs of $15.8 million are reflected net within long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the loss on treasury locks of $16.4 million is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2030 Notes using the effective interest method. Interest is paid each March 1 and September 1.

The Notes are subordinate to any existing or future debt or other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries.

Revolving Credit Facility

On April 3, 2024, the Company and Carlisle, LLC, as co-borrowers, entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit with a maturity date of April 3, 2029 and amends and restates the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended (the "Prior Credit Agreement"), which was scheduled to expire on February 5, 2025. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's election, (i) at the Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.50% or (ii) at the applicable benchmark rate plus a margin ranging from 0.825% to 1.500%, in each case, based on the Company’s debt rating from time to time. The benchmark rate for loans denominated in (i) U.S. dollars is the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, (ii) Canadian dollars is the Adjusted Term CORRA Rate, (iii) Sterling is Daily Simple SONIA, (iv) euros is the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate and (v) yen is Adjusted TIBOR Rate. The commitments are also subject to a facility fee on the daily aggregate amount of the revolving commitment (whether used or unused) ranging from 0.05% to 0.25% based on the Company’s debt rating from time to time. Funding of the loans under the Credit Agreement is subject to customary drawdown conditions. The Company incurred $1.9 million of financing costs in the second quarter of 2024 in connection with finalizing the Credit Agreement, which together with any existing unamortized costs, will be recognized ratably over the new extended maturity date of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement has a feature that allows the Company to increase availability, at its option, by an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million through increased commitments from existing lenders or the addition of new lenders. Under the Credit Agreement the Company may also enter into commitments in the form of standby, commercial, or direct pay letters of credit for an amount not to exceed $50.0 million.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company hadno borrowings and $1.0 billion available under the Credit Agreement. During 2024, borrowings and repayments under the Credit Agreement totaled $22.0 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 8.50%. During 2023, the Company had $84.0 million in borrowings and repayments under the Prior Credit Agreement with a weighted average interest rate of 6.61%.

Covenants and Limitations

The Notes and the Credit Agreement require the Company to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations, including certain leverage and interest coverage ratios and limits on outstanding debt balances held by certain subsidiaries. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and limitations as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

During the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments in the form of letters of credit and bank guarantees to provide its own financial and performance assurance to third parties. The Company has not issued any guarantees on behalf of any third parties. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had $22.8 million and $17.6 million in letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding, respectively. The Company has multiple arrangements to obtain letters of credit, which include an agreement with an unspecified availability and separate agreements for up to $80.0 million in letters of credit, of which $57.2 million was available as of December 31, 2024.

Interest Payments

Cash payments for interest were $70.2 million, $71.9 million and $82.9 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 14—Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company maintains defined benefit retirement plans, primarily for certain domestic employees, as presented below. All plans are frozen to new entrants, with the exception of the executive supplemental plan. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and earnings of the employee.

The significant assumptions used in the measurement of the projected benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost primarily include the discount rate, rate of compensation increase and expected long-term return on plan assets. Weighted-average assumptions for the projected benefit obligation follows:

Weighted-average assumptions for net periodic benefit cost follows:

The weighted-average cash balance interest crediting rate for the Company's cash balance defined benefit plans was 4.0% for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

The Company considers several factors in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets. Asset-class return expectations are set using a combination of empirical and forward-looking analyses. Capital market assumptions for the composition of the Company’s asset portfolio are intended to capture the behavior of asset classes observed over several market cycles. The Company also looks to historical returns for reasonableness and appropriateness.

A reconciliation of the change in the projected benefit obligation, plan assets and the funded status follows:

The Company’s projected benefit obligation includes approximately $17.7 million and $20.0 million related to the Company’s executive supplemental and director defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s accumulated benefit obligation includes approximately $17.5 million and $18.7 million related to the Company’s executive supplemental and director defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The executive supplemental and director defined benefit plans haveno plan assets and the Company is not required to pre-fund the obligations.

The amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss that have not been recognized in net periodic pension cost follows:

The components of net periodic benefit cost follows:

The Company employs a liability driven investment approach whereby plan assets are invested primarily in fixed income investments to match the changes in the projected benefit obligation of funded plans related to changes in interest rates. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of projected benefit obligations, plan funded status and the Company’s other obligations and strategic investments.

The established target allocation is 88.0% fixed income securities and 12.0% equity securities. Fixed income investments are diversified across U.S. treasury, long and intermediate duration and high yield bonds. Equity investments are diversified across large capitalization U.S. and international stocks. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through investment portfolio reviews, annual projected benefit liability measurements and asset/liability studies.

The fair value measurement of the plans’ assets by asset category follows:

(1)This category is comprised of investments in mutual funds that invest in equity securities such as large publicly traded companies listed in the S&P 500 Index; small to medium sized companies with market capitalization in the range of the Russell 2500 Index; and foreign issuers in emerging markets.

(2)This category is comprised of investments in mutual funds that invest in U.S. corporate fixed income securities, including asset-backed securities; high yield fixed income securities primarily rated BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D; and US dollar denominated debt securities of government, government related and corporate issuers in emerging market countries.

The Company made contributions of $2.1 million and $5.1 million during 2024 and 2023, respectively. Contributions of $1.6 million and $1.5 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, pertain to the Company’s executive supplemental and director defined benefit pension plans. This contribution covers current participant benefits as these plans haveno plan assets. No minimum contributions to the pension plans were required in 2024 and 2023, however, discretionary contributions of $0.5 million were made in 2024. During 2025, the Company expects to pay approximately $1.6 million in participant benefits under the executive supplemental and director plans.

A summary of estimated future benefits to be paid for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2024, follows:

Pension Settlement

On October 17, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with an insurance company to purchase a nonparticipating single premium group annuity contract. In selecting the insurance company, the Company utilized guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor Interpretive Bulletin 95-1. Using plan assets, the Company transferred $55.0 million of certain defined benefit pension obligations to the insurance company. The contract covers approximately 1,300 Carlisle plan participants and beneficiaries (the "Transferred Participants"). Under this contract, the insurance company made an unconditional and irrevocable commitment to pay the pension benefits of each Transferred Participant that are due on or after January 1, 2025. The transaction did not change the amount of benefits payable to the Transferred Participants.

As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized non-cash pre-tax pension settlement charges of $21.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 related to the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses included within accumulated other comprehensive loss. The transaction also required the Company to remeasure the benefit obligations and plan assets as of the settlement date. The remeasurement reflected the use of an updated discount rate as of the remeasurement date of 5.0%, as compared to the discount rate of 4.8% that was used to determine benefit obligations as of December 31, 2023.

Defined Contribution Plans

401K Plan

The Company maintains defined contribution savings plans covering a significant portion of its eligible employees. Participant contributions are matched by the Company up to a 4.0% maximum of eligible compensation, subject to compensation and contribution limits as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. Employer contributions for the savings plan were $17.5 million, $19.9 million, and $20.3 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Matching contributions are invested in funds as directed by participants. Eligible participants may also elect to invest up to 50.0% of the Company’s matching contribution in the Company's common stock. Common shares held by the contribution savings plan were 0.4 million,0.5 million, and 0.6 million as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Deferred Compensation - Cash

The Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan allows certain eligible participants to defer a portion of their cash compensation and provides a matching contribution to the deferred compensation plan of up to 4.0% of eligible compensation. Eligible participants may elect to receive in-service distributions of deferred compensation or may defer receipt of distributions until retirement via lump sum or annual payment installments over a maximum period of 10 years. Participants allocate their deferred compensation amongst various investment options with earnings accruing to the participant.

The Company has established a Rabbi Trust to provide for a degree of financial security to cover its obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Contributions to the Rabbi Trust by the Company are made at the discretion of management and generally are made in cash and invested in money-market funds. The Company consolidates the Rabbi Trust and therefore includes the investments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had $3.7 million and $4.4 million of cash, respectively, and $11.7 million and $11.5 million of short-term investments, respectively. The short-term investments are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets (i.e., Level 1 measurements) with changes in fair value recorded in net income and the associated cash flows presented as operating cash flows.

Workers’ Compensation Claims and Related Losses

The Company maintains occurrence-based insurance coverage with certain insurance carriers in accordance with its risk management practices that provides for reimbursement of workers’ compensation claims in excess of $0.5 million. The Company records a recovery receivable from the insurance carriers when such recovery is deemed probable based on the nature of the claim and history of recoveries. The liability related to workers’ compensation claims, both those reported to the Company and those incurred but not yet reported, is estimated based on actuarial estimates, loss development factors and the Company’s historical loss experience. A summary of the receivable and liability related to workers' compensation claims follows:

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Litigation

Over the years, the Company has been named as a defendant, along with numerous other defendants, in lawsuits in various courts in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to exposure to asbestos-containing friction products produced and sold predominantly by the Company’s discontinued Motion Control business between the late-1940s and the mid-1980s and roofing products produced and sold by Henry Company LLC, which the Company acquired on September 1, 2021. The Company has been subject to liabilities for indemnity and defense costs associated with these lawsuits.

The Company has recorded a liability for estimated indemnity costs associated with pending and future asbestos claims. As of December 31, 2024, the Company believes that its accrual for these costs is not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.

The Company recognizes expenses for defense costs associated with asbestos claims during the periods in which they are incurred. Refer to Note 1 for the Company’s accounting policy related to litigation defense costs.

The Company currently maintains insurance coverage and is the beneficiary of other arrangements that provide coverage with respect to asbestos-related claims and associated defense costs. The Company records the insurance coverage as a receivable in an amount it reasonably estimates is probable of recovery for pending and future asbestos-related indemnity claims. Since the Company’s insurance coverage contains various exclusions, limits of coverage and self-insured retentions and may be subject to insurance coverage disputes, the Company may incur expenses for indemnity and defense costs and recognize income from insurance recoveries in different periods, as such recoveries are recorded only if and when it becomes probable that such costs will be covered by insurance.

The Company is also involved in various other legal actions and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcomes of such actions and proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or operating cash flows.

Note 17—Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its foreign currency exchange rate exposure to forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows. These instruments are not held for speculative or trading purposes.

A summary of the Company's designated and non-designated cash flow hedges follows:

(1)The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is included in other current assets. The fair value was estimated using observable market inputs such as forward and spot prices of the underlying exchange rate pair. Based on these inputs, derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Designated Hedges

For instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts with maturities less thanone year. The changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in the same line item as the impact of the hedged item, revenues or cost of sales, when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. Gains and losses on the contracts representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recognized in the same line item as the hedged item, revenues or cost of sales, currently.

Non-Designated Hedges

For instruments that are not designed as a cash flow hedge, the Company had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less thanone year. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts were immaterial and are recognized in other non-operating expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on these balances.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component follows:

(1)The accrued post-retirement benefit liability reclassification pertains to the amortization of unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and prior service credits and settlement expenses included in net periodic benefit cost. Refer to Note 14 for additional pension discussion.
