Second Quarter 2024 Segment Review

(All comparisons against the second quarter of 2023 unless otherwise noted.)

Industrial Technologies and Services Segment (IT&S): broad range of compressor, vacuum, blower, and air treatment solutions as well as industrial technologies including power tools and lifting equipment

• Reported Orders of $1,465 million, up 1%, or down 3% organic
  • On a two-year stack, up 14%, or up 6% organic
  • Book to bill of 1.0x in the quarter and 1.01x in the first half of 2024
  • Up 5% sequentially as compared to Q1 2024
• Reported Revenues of $1,467 million, up 6%, or up 1% organic¹
• Reported Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $436 million, up 16%
• Reported Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 29.7%, up 230 basis points, due to continued pricing strength and IRX driving strong operational execution
• IT&S saw organic orders finish largely in line with expectations, down 3%, mainly due to China market headwinds including large, long-cycle orders taken in the prior year in electric vehicle (EV) battery and solar end markets. Within compressors, orders were up low-single-digits and revenue was up mid-single digits². Book to bill remains on track and consistent with the previous guidance, finishing above 1.0x in the first half of the year.

Precision and Science Technologies Segment (P&ST): Mission-critical precision liquid, gas, air and powder handling technologies for life sciences, industrial, and aerospace and defense applications

• Reported Orders of $334 million, up 14%, or up 6% organic
  • On a two-year stack, up 6%, or down 4% organic

• Reported Revenues of $339 million, up 10%, or down 1% organic¹
• Reported Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $103 million, up 14%
• Reported Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 30.3%, up 110 basis points, driven largely by improvements in pricing versus cost and strong operational execution driven by IRX
• Organic order growth was strong across both Life Sciences and the Industrial businesses. In the Industrial businesses, short cycle orders grew mid-single digits year over year, driven by demand generation activities and the use of IRX.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Ingersoll Rand remains in a strong financial position with ample liquidity of $3.7 billion. On a reported basis, the Company generated $305 million of cash flow from operating activities and invested $22 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow¹ of $283 million, compared to cash flow from operating activities of $228 million and free cash flow¹ of $204 million in the prior year period. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage³ was 2.0x for the second quarter, which was an increase of 1.0x as compared to the prior year driven primarily by the acquisition of ILC Dover within the quarter.

The Company received a one notch upgrade from each of its rating agencies, solidifying its investment grade status. In May 2024, the Company issued $3.3 billion of unsecured investment grade bonds. Proceeds of the bond issuance were used to repay $1.2 billion of floating rate secured term loans, $2.0 billion to partially fund the acquisition of ILC Dover, and $0.1 billion for general corporate purposes. Under this new debt structure, Ingersoll Rand achieved a fixed / floating ratio of 84% / 16% and extended its weighted average maturity from six to ten years.

Consistent with our comprehensive capital allocation strategy led by M&A, in the second quarter of 2024, Ingersoll Rand deployed $2.6 billion to M&A. Ingersoll Rand closed on multiple acquisitions within the quarter, including:

• ILC Dover, a specialized manufacturer of innovative market leading powder management single-use solutions and liquid handling products, for biopharma and pharma markets, and specialty solutions for the design and production of silicone, thermoplastic components and assemblies for medical devices.
• Complete Air and Power Solutions, a leading provider of compressed air and power generation services with a strong customer base for over 40 years.
• Fruvac Ltd., a leading manufacturer of mobile and truck mounted vacuum pumps, systems, and peripheral parts.
• Del PD Pumps & Gear Pvt Ltd., a leading manufacturer of rotary, twin, and triple gear pumps for the loading, unloading, transfer, and pressurization of liquids.

The Company also returned approximately $71 million to shareholders through $63 million in share repurchases and $8 million through its quarterly dividend payment in the second quarter.

Raising 2024 Guidance
Ingersoll Rand is raising its guidance for full-year 2024 Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS ranges based on the strong performance in the first half, and its expectations of continued strong commercial and operational performance for the balance of the year. The full-year revenue guidance increase is driven by the recent M&A activity, partially offset by FX and a reduction in organic growth expectations, largely driven by China.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures related to full-year 2024 guidance have not been provided due to the unreasonable efforts it would take to provide such reconciliations due to the high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including net income (loss) and adjustments that could be made for acquisitions-related expenses, restructuring and other business transformation costs, gains or losses on foreign currency exchange and the timing and magnitude of other amounts in the reconciliation of historic numbers. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, Ingersoll Rand reviews various non-GAAP financial measures, including “Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline),” “Two-Year Stack (for Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline)),” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA margin,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Diluted EPS” and “Free Cash Flow.”

Ingersoll Rand believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as they exclude certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of Ingersoll Rand’s business. Ingersoll Rand believes Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline) and Two-Year Stack (for Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline)) are helpful supplemental measure to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions on revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income including interest, depreciation and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions. Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline) is defined as As Reported Revenue growth less the impacts of Foreign Currency and Acquisitions. Two-Year Stack with respect to Organic Revenue is defined as the sum of current year and prior year Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline). Ingersoll Rand believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Average Shares Outstanding. Incrementals/Decrementals are defined as the change in Adjusted EBITDA versus the prior year period divided by the change in revenue versus the prior year period.

Ingersoll Rand uses Free Cash Flow to review the liquidity of its operations. Ingersoll Rand measures Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. Ingersoll Rand believes Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measures for management and investors in assessing the Company’s ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service its debt. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities.

Management and Ingersoll Rand’s board of directors regularly use these measures as tools in evaluating the Company’s operating and financial performance and in establishing discretionary annual compensation. Such measures are provided in addition to, and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, Ingersoll Rand believes that Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline), Two-Year Stack (for Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline)), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Incrementals/Decrementals and Free Cash Flow are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity.

Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline), Two-Year Stack (for Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline)), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to revenue growth, net income, diluted earnings per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline), Two-Year Stack (for Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline)), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing Ingersoll Rand’s results as reported under GAAP.

Reconciliations of Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline), Two-Year Stack (for Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline)), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial metrics for historical periods are presented in the tables below.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures related to full-year 2024 guidance have not been provided due to the unreasonable efforts it would take to provide such reconciliations due to the high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including net income (loss) and adjustments that could be made for acquisitions-related expenses, restructuring and other business transformation costs, gains or losses on foreign currency exchange and the timing and magnitude of other amounts in the reconciliation of historic numbers. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

¹ Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (as reported) are calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Ingersoll Rand Inc. by the basic and diluted average shares outstanding for the respective periods.
² Adjusted diluted share count and adjusted diluted earnings per share include incremental dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, which are added to average shares outstanding.

¹ Organic growth/(decline), impact of foreign currency, and impact of acquisitions are non-GAAP measures. References to “impact of acquisitions” refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition. The portion of GAAP revenue attributable to currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in revenue (excluding acquisition sales) and (b) the period-to-period change in revenue (excluding acquisition sales) after applying prior year foreign exchange rates to the current year period.
² Two-year stack is defined as the sum of current year growth/(decline) and prior year growth/(decline).
