Net sales from existing businesses decreased by $15.6 million during the three months ended July 4, 2025, compared to the prior year period. Volume declined by $23.2 million, primarily due to reduced customer demand in the Americas due to tariff uncertainty impacting our Mexico business and delayed automation purchases across North America and lower volumes in Russia. This was partially offset by strong growth in the EMEA and APAC markets and $7.6 million in price increases. The increase in net sales from acquisitions was attributable to ESAB Bangladesh Private Limited (“ESAB Bangladesh”), SUMIG Soluções para Solda e Corte Ltda. (“SUMIG”), Bavaria Schweisstechnik (“Bavaria”) and DeltaP. The changes in foreign exchange rates caused a $3.2 million favorable currency translation impact.

Previous wording

Because our products and services are available worldwide, we rely on a global supply chain to source raw materials, parts and components. The majority of our sales are derived from international operations and, as such, we are subject to specific risks associated with changes in the United States policy regarding international trade and other retaliatory trade measures that the United States and foreign governments may take, including the imposition of tariffs, sanctions, export or import controls and other measures that restrict international trade. The United States has announced significant new tariffs on imports from a wide range of countries, including China, which was followed by retaliatory tariffs by China and a number of countries and a cycle of further retaliatory announcements and trade actions. While certain of the tariffs have been and may be delayed, others have taken or may take effect. Further, tariffs announced or imposed by the United States could be altered or delayed through presidential action, bilateral negotiations, judicial orders or congressional actions, and tariffs announced by other counties can be affected by similar developments. These and future changes in tariffs and trade policies have resulted and could result in additional costs and pricing pressures, supply chain disruptions, volatile or unpredictable customer spending patterns and increased economic or geopolitical risks, any or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, perhaps materially or in ways that we cannot predict.

Previous wording

We are actively monitoring and evaluating these developments and the potential impacts of trade policy and tariffs on our business, supply chain and results of operations. We maintain operations worldwide, including in the jurisdictions impacted by the recently announced and contemplated tariffs. If tariffs continue to be maintained at current levels, and/or the United States government or foreign governments impose further retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictive measures in response, we expect that such actions could negatively impact our revenue growth and margins in future periods through increased supply chain costs, decreased demand and other adverse economic impacts. The net effect of these actions on our company will depend on our ability to successfully mitigate and offset their impact, which efforts may not be effective. If we are unable to mitigate these risks through supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies or other measures, our business could be negatively affected and produce additional impacts. Please refer to Part I. Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K and in Part II. Item 1A in this Form 10-Q for additional information. The full impact of the matters noted above on the Company, our customers and suppliers, the overall economy and capital markets remains uncertain.

Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITDA. Further, we present these non-GAAP performance measures on a segment basis, where we exclude the impact of Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-amortization and other related charges and depreciation and other amortization from operating income.

Adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA assist management in comparing our operating performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to unusual events or discrete restructuring plans and other initiatives that are fundamentally different from our ongoing productivity and core business. Management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.

Current wording

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we include in this Form 10-Q because it is a key metric used by our management to assess our operating performance. ESAB presents this non-GAAP financial measure including and excluding Russia due to economic and political volatility caused by the Russia and Ukraine conflict, which we believe results in enhanced investor interest in these alternative presentations. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from Net income from continuing operations the effect of Income tax expense, Interest expense and other, net, Pension settlement loss, Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition due diligence and transaction expenses, amortization of intangibles and fair value charges on acquired inventories and depreciation and other amortization. We also present Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITDA. Further, we present these non-GAAP performance measures on a segment basis subject to the same adjustments described above. We also present Core adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA margin, which are subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, respectively, and which removes the impact of Russia for the three and six months ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024.
