Current report
Net sales from existing businesses increased by $5.3 million during the six months ended July 3, 2026, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by $23.9 million of customer pricing increases partially offset by a $18.6 million decrease in sales volume due to drivers such as tariffs in the Americas, challenges in the Middle East related to the war in Iran and lower volumes in Russia. The $23.9 million increase in customer pricing was largely driven by the higher materials costs resulting from factors such as tariffs in the Americas and rising oil prices caused by the war in Iran. The $18.6 million decrease in sales volume was primarily from the first quarter as the tariff impacts in the second quarter were comparable to prior year as increased tariffs were first imposed in April 2025. Additionally, the increase in Net sales from acquisitions was attributable to Bavaria, DeltaP, Aktiv, EWM and Eddyfi. The changes in foreign exchange rates resulted in a $55.9 million favorable currency translation impact.

ESAB operates a diversified global supply chain and sources parts and materials globally. In February 2026, the United States Supreme Court (the “Court”) ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), which the United States administration (the “administration”) relied on to impose certain tariffs, does not authorize the administration to impose tariffs. On March 4, 2026, the United States Court of International Trade ordered the United States Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to process refunds of the IEEPA tariffs, although the Court immediately suspended the order while the CBP determines a refund process. The IEEPA tariffs remain subject to ongoing litigation between the administration and other parties. In response to the Court ruling mentioned above, the administration announced plans to implement new tariffs under alternative statutory authority. The full impact of the Court’s ruling and the administration’s response remains uncertain. In addition, the process for addressing requests for refunds of the IEEPA tariffs has recently begun, and the actual timing and extent of any such refunds remain uncertain at this time. Accordingly, we have not recorded any anticipated recovery of IEEPA tariffs paid as of April 3, 2026. We continue to actively monitor and evaluate 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 announced and contemplated tariffs. Refer to Part I. Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K 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 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, Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition transaction, due diligence and integration expenses, amortization of intangibles and fair value step up 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 months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025. 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.

Previous wording
Net sales from existing businesses decreased by $12.6 million during the three months ended April 3, 2026, compared to the prior year period, due to a $21.7 million decrease in sales volume due to drivers such as tariffs in the Americas, logistics challenges in Middle East related to the war in Iran and lower volumes in Russia partially offset by customer pricing increases of $9.0 million. The increase in net sales from acquisitions was attributable to Bavaria Schweisstechnik (“Bavaria”), DeltaP s.r.l. (“DeltaP”), Aktiv Technologies Private Limited (“Aktiv”) and EWM GmbH (“EWM”). The changes in foreign exchange rates resulted in a $37.3 million favorable currency translation impact.
Current wording
Net sales from existing businesses increased by $17.9 million during the three months ended July 3, 2026, compared to the prior year period, driven by increases in both customer pricing and sales volume totaling $14.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The $14.9 million increase in customer pricing was largely driven by the higher materials costs resulting from factors such as tariffs in the Americas and rising oil prices caused by the war in Iran. Additionally, there was an increase in Net sales from acquisitions attributable to Bavaria Schweisstechnik (“Bavaria”), DeltaP s.r.l. (“DeltaP”), Aktiv Technologies Private Limited (“Aktiv”), EWM GmbH (“EWM”) and Eddyfi. The changes in foreign exchange rates resulted in a $18.6 million favorable currency translation impact.
