We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, and investors are advised to review disclosures in our filings with the SEC.

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, some of which we refer to as "ongoing" measures, including: earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), EBIT margin, ongoing EBIT, ongoing EBIT margin, and ongoing earnings per diluted share. Other non-GAAP financial measures that may be included in this presentation are free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of sales, adjusted effective tax rate, organic net sales, net debt leverage and return on invested capital (ROIC). Organic net sales : Sales excluding the impact of certain acquisitions or divestitures, and foreign currency. Management believes that organic net sales provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time, excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations and certain acquisitions and/or divestitures. Slide 25 excludes 2025 net sales from the divested India business and foreign currency impact. Slide(s): 10, 26 Ongoing EBIT margin : Ongoing EBIT divided by net sales. Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Slide(s): 10, 11, 26, 27, 34 Segment EBIT : Consolidated EBIT broken down by the Company's reportable segments and are metrics used by the chief operating decision maker in accordance with ASC 280. Consolidated EBIT also includes corporate "Other" of $(90) million and $(35) million for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Management believes segment EBIT provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time for each segment. Slide(s): 12, 13, 14, 28 Ongoing earnings per diluted share : Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations. Ongoing measures provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Slide(s): 10, 26, 35 Free cash flow : Cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow and free cash flow as a percentage of sales provide stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing Whirlpool's ability to fund its activities and obligations. Slide(s): 10, 26, 29 Adjusted effective tax rate : Effective tax rate, excluding pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items. Management believes that adjusted tax rate provides stockholders with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items. Slide(s): 26, 35 Whirlpool Corporation Confidential Please refer to the supplemental information pack located in the events section of our Investor Relations website at investors.whirlpoolcorp.com for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Whirlpool does not provide a Non-GAAP reconciliation for its forward-looking long-term value creation goals, such as organic net sales, ongoing EBIT, free cash flow as percentage of net sales, ROIC and net debt leverage, as these long-term management goals are not annual guidance, and the reconciliation of these long-term measures would rely on market factors and certain other conditions and assumptions that are outside of the Company's control. 4 Agenda First-Quarter Results 1 Critical Actions to Restore Profitability in North America 2 2026 Guidance and Capital Allocation Priorities 3 Whirlpool Corporation Confidential 5 First-Ǫuarter Performance Impacted by a Rapid Deterioration of Macro Environment War in Iran in late February drove global inflation and amplified concerns around cost of living Consumer sentiment plunged to the lowest level on record, impacting demand and preventing recovery from major winter storms Whirlpool Corporation Confidential U.S. and Canada industry demand reached recession-level lows, with even greater impact on discretionary demand and weakness in builder channel Industry pricing disrupted by IEEPA ruling and anticipation of refunds 6 Consumer Sentiment Drops to Record Low U.S. CONSUMER SENTIMENT INDEX Lowest in History Whirlpool Corporation Confidential 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 Source: University Of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index Compounding pressure from persistent inflation, geopolitical turmoil and energy price shocks in late February and March 7 March -10% Industry Decline as a Result of Compounding Pressures Whirlpool Corporation Confidential Recession Years Source: AHAM Sell-in - U.S. Note: AHAM T6 Industry data includes electric and gas ranges, wall ovens, clothes washers and dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators and freezers. 8 *2026 YTD reflects AHAM data weeks 2-12 Industry Pricing Impacted by the IEEPA Tariff Ruling and Anticipation of Refunds IEEPA Ruling Whirlpool Corporation Confidential U.S. Appliance Industry Pricing (vs Jan '25) Competitor Average Source: Publicly available sell-out data Industry Pricing in the U.S. 9 2026 First-Ǫuarter Results PROFITABLE GROWTH Net Sales $3.3B YoY Change (9.6)% (6.1)% organic MARGIN EXPANSION Ongoing EBIT Margin 1.3% YoY Change (4.6) pts Free Cash Flow $(896)M FCF as % of Net Sales (27.3)% CASH CONVERSION Ongoing EBIT of 1.3% resulted in ongoing EPS of $(0.56), including $(0.32) impact of Beko Europe B.V.
