Previous wording

During the first half of 2025, the United States announced changes to U.S. trade policy, including increasing tariffs on imports, in some cases significantly, and potentially negotiating or terminating existing trade agreements. The United States also indicated that tariffs may change and that additional measures are under consideration to be introduced. These tariff and tariff-related measures include potential impacts to the industry in which we operate and the commodities to which our products are exposed. These actions, along with corresponding retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global demand in both aftermarket and first-fit. In response to these developments, we mitigated the cost impact on our business by employing any exemptions for which we were eligible, such as compliance under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”), adjustment to our supply chain, and select price adjustments. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to offset these costs and mitigate the impact on our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Given the uncertainties, it is difficult to estimate the evolving tariff and policy landscape which may have a material impact on our profitability going forward.

Overall supply chain conditions remained largely stable in the first six months of 2025 with minimal disruptions being experienced. Logistics costs increased during the first half of 2025, primarily due to the impact of tariffs. Our management team continues to monitor and evaluate all of the factors affecting our supply chain condition and the related impacts on our business and operations, and we continue to minimize any supply chain impacts to our business and to our customers.

Current wording

Overall supply chain conditions remained largely stable in the first nine months of 2025 with minimal disruptions being experienced.

Our management team continues to monitor and evaluate all of the factors affecting our supply chain condition and the related impacts on our business and operations, and we continue to minimize any supply chain impacts to our business and to our customers.

Previous wording

We have experienced variability in direct material costs through the first half of 2025. Various key commodities have been exposed to inflationary pressures, primarily due to the impact of tariffs.

Previous wording

Additionally, the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies had an unfavorable impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations in the first six months of 2025 due to translation impacts. We remain in a volatile currency environment and as such, there can be no assurances that this trend will continue for the remainder of 2025.

Previous wording

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs associated with becoming a standalone public company. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred approximately $2.5 million of one-time expenses including $1.9 million within Cost of sales and $0.6 million within Selling, general and administrative expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred approximately$11.8 million of one-time expenses including $8.7 million within Cost of sales and $3.1 million within Selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect to incur one-time expenses of approximately $10 million to $15 million in 2025 in connection with becoming a standalone public company. In addition, we expect to incur capital expenditures in connection with the Separation of approximately $10 million to $15 million in 2025. These expenses and capital expenditures primarily relate to the establishment of functions previously co-mingled with Cummins, such as information technologies, distribution centers, manufacturing and human resources. The one-time costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025, were primarily associated with establishing our own standalone warehouse in Belgium as we worked to ensure we were supporting customer needs and our technology transformation and modernization project. These expenses and capital expenditures are expected to be complete by the end of 2025. The actual amount of the expenses and capital expenditures we will incur as a stand-alone public company may be higher, perhaps significantly, from our current estimates for a number of reasons, including, among others, the final terms we are able to negotiate with service providers, as well as additional costs we may incur that we have not currently anticipated. Additionally, the actual timing of when we incur these incremental expenses may be different, perhaps significantly, from our current estimates for a number of reasons, including, among others, unforeseen events that may cause delays or interruptions in our plans or our service providers’ ability to provide their services.

Current wording

We have incurred additional costs associated with becoming a standalone public company. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred approximately$3.7 million of one-time expenses including $2.5 million within Cost of sales and $1.2 million within Selling, general and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred approximately$15.5 million of one-time expenses including $11.2 million within Cost of sales and $4.3 million within Selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, we have incurred capital expenditures in connection with the Separation of approximately$9.5 million in 2025. These expenses and capital expenditures primarily relate to the establishment of functions previously co-mingled with Cummins, such as information technologies, distribution centers, manufacturing and human resources. The one-time costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025, were primarily associated with our technology transformation and modernization project. The transition services agreement under which Cummins had continued to provide certain services related primarily to administrative services ended in September 2025. With the conclusion of this agreement, we do not expect to incur any additional one-time expenses or capital expenditures in 2025 or in future periods in connection with becoming a standalone public company.
