Non-GAAP Diluted EPS growth was driven by higher volume, margin expansion and lower interest expense. Cash generated by operating activities is lower year over year due to an increase in working capital as we build inventory to support expected demand for our Precision Devices products in the back half of the year. * For this non-GAAP financial measure, see the Appendix for GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation 3 SEGMENT PERFORMANCE MedTech & Specialty Audio Revenue ($) 67.4 68.5 +1.6% 2Q 2025 2Q 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Margin* (%) 42.0 43.4 +140 bps 2Q 2025 2Q 2026 Second quarter revenue growth was driven by higher volumes in hearing health shipments.

These items are excluded from non-GAAP results. 6 Appendix 7 Quarter Ended June 30, (continuing operations, in millions, except per share amounts) 2026 2025 Revenues $ 166.8 $ 145.9 Gross profit $ 74.6 $ 60.6 Gross profit margin 44.7 % 41.5 % Stock-based compensation expense 0.4 0.3 Impairment charges - 3.6 Restructuring charges 0.1 - Production transfer costs (1) 0.8 0.2 Transition services credit (2) (0.2) (0.2) Other (3) - - Non-GAAP gross profit $ 75.7 $ 64.5 Non-GAAP gross profit margin 45.4 % 44.2 % Operating expenses $ 49.9 $ 45.9 Stock-based compensation expense (5.8) (6.0) Intangibles amortization expense (4.0) (4.1) Restructuring charges (0.1) - Acquisition-related costs (4) - (0.2) Transition services credit (2) 0.1 0.3 Other (3) - 0.3 Non-GAAP operating expenses $ 40.1 $ 36.2 Non-GAAP operating expenses margin 24.0 % 24.8 % Net earnings $ 18.4 $ 7.8 Interest expense, net 1.7 2.5 Provision for income taxes 4.2 3.5 Earnings before interest and income taxes 24.3 13.8 Earnings before interest and income taxes margin 14.6 % 9.5 % Stock-based compensation expense 6.2 6.3 Intangibles amortization expense 4.0 4.1 Impairment charges - 3.6 Restructuring charges 0.2 - Production transfer costs (1) 0.8 0.2 Acquisition-related costs (4) - 0.2 Transition services credit (2) (0.3) (0.5) Other (3) 0.9 - Adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes $ 36.1 $ 27.7 Adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes margin 21.6 % 19.0 % Notes RECONCILIATION OF GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO NON- GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Production transfer costs represent duplicate costs incurred to migrate manufacturing to existing facilities. Transition services represent amounts charged to Syntiant in connection with post-closing transition and separation costs. Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 include foreign currency exchange rate impacts on restructuring balances. Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 include foreign currency exchange rate adjustments related to certain balances retained subsequent to the disposal of CMM; these adjustments were not deemed material for 2025. These expenses include ongoing costs to facilitate integration of the Cornell Dubilier acquisition by the Precision Devices segment. 8 RECONCILIATION OF GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO NON- GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Quarter Ended June 30, (continuing operations, in millions, except per share amounts) 2026 2025 Net earnings $ 18.4 $ 7.8 Interest expense, net 1.7 2.5 Provision for income taxes 4.2 3.5 Earnings before interest and income taxes $ 24.3 $ 13.8 Non-GAAP reconciling adjustments (5) 11.8 13.9 Depreciation expense 5.7 5.0 Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") $ 41.8 $ 32.7 Adjusted EBITDA margin 25.1 % 22.4 % Notes The non-GAAP reconciling adjustments include stock-based compensation expense, intangibles amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring charges, production transfer costs, acquisition-related costs, and other expenses, partially offset by a credit to transition services. Income tax effects of non-GAAP reconciling adjustments are calculated using the applicable tax rates in the jurisdictions of the underlying adjustments. Net earnings $ 18.4 $ 7.8 Non-GAAP reconciling adjustments (5) 11.8 13.9 Income tax effects of non-GAAP reconciling adjustments (6) 1.6 0.5 8. Non-GAAP net earnings $ 28.6 $ 21.2 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.21 $ 0.09 Earnings per share non-GAAP reconciling adjustment (5) (6) (7) 0.12 0.15 Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (7) $ 0.33 $ 0.24 Diluted average shares outstanding 87.9 87.6 Non-GAAP adjustment (7) (8) (0.4) 1.3 Non-GAAP diluted average shares outstanding (7) (8) 87.5 88.9 In the third quarter of 2025, the Company modified its calculation method of non-GAAP diluted average shares outstanding to exclude the potential dilution impact from performance share units ("PSUs") as these equity awards have not yet been earned. Our PSUs are market-based awards and fluctuate based on the Company's total shareholder return performance relative to the Russell 2000 during the measurement period. The calculation methodology change in non-GAAP diluted average shares outstanding had no impact on non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the historical period presented. The number of shares used in the diluted average shares outstanding calculations on a non-GAAP basis excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense expected to be incurred in future periods and not yet recognized in the financial statements, which would otherwise be assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method. Non-GAAP diluted average shares outstanding also excludes the impact of certain equity awards that are not yet earned. 9 H I S T O R I C A L S E G M E N T D A T A PRECISION DEVICES MEDTECH & SPECIALTY AUDIO Quarter Ended Quarter Ended June 30, March 31, December 31, September 30, June 30, June 30, March 31, December 31, September 30, June 30, 2026 2026 2025 2025 2025 2026 2026 2025 2025 2025 $ 98.3 $ 85.1 $ 89.7 $ 88.2 $ 78.5 $ 68.5 $ 68.0 $ 72.5 $ 64.7 $ 67.4 $ 38.2 $ 31.9 $ 35.0 $ 35.7 $ 30.0 $ 36.3 $ 36.2 $ 37.4 $ 34.1 $ 30.4 38.9% 37.5% 39.0% 40.5% 38.2% 53.0 % 53.2 % 51.6% 52.7% 45.1% 0.3 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.1 -
