Refer to non-GAAP reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures. (a) Organic change in net revenues provides a consistent basis for a year-over-year comparison in net revenues as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions and divestitures, and the impact of changes due to foreign currency translation. (b) Per share data has been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock split executed June 30, 2025. Reported net revenues increased by 15.3% (10.4% organic) driven by solid growth in inspection, service, and monitoring revenues, growth in project revenues, acquisitions, pricing improvements, and impacts of foreign exchange translation. Reported and adjusted gross margin decreased by 20 and 40 basis points, respectively, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by business mix, partially offset by disciplined customer and project selection and pricing improvements.

Adjusted net income was $142 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.32, representing a 28.0% increase compared to the prior year period. The increase in adjusted diluted EPS was driven by strong revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, and a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in the adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 21.8% (18.1% on a fixed currency basis) compared to the prior year period, and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 70 basis points to 11.9%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This document contains non-U.S. GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that are included in this document and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The Company’s management believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the Company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the Company’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (b) permit investors to compare the Company with its peers, (c) in the case of adjusted EBITDA, determines certain elements of management’s incentive compensation, (d) provide consistent period-to-period comparisons of the results, and (e) in the case of organic net revenue growth, enable investors to assess the growth rate of the Company’s existing operations independent of the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation. Specifically: The Company’s management believes that adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude amortization of intangible assets (including backlog amortization), systems and business enablement expenses, business process transformation expenses, and other specifically identified items, such as impairment charges, restructuring costs, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions and divestitures, non-service pension cost, contingent consideration and compensation, and miscellaneous capital market activities, are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations by removing items that management does not consider indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance. The Company supplements the reporting of its consolidated financial information with certain financial measures including adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude contingent consideration and compensation, non-service pension cost, systems and business enablement expenses, business process transformation expenses, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, restructuring program related costs, and other miscellaneous items, as further described in the reconciliation tables included in this document. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues. The Company believes these measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand the Company’s financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. On a consolidated basis, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because this measure excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results. Adjusted EBITDA also serves as a performance metric for certain elements of the Company’s executive incentive compensation program. The Company discloses fixed currency net revenues and adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and segment earnings on a segment specific basis to provide a more complete understanding of underlying revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and segment earnings trends by providing net revenues, adjusted EBITDA, and segment earnings on a consistent basis. Under U.S. GAAP, income statement results are translated in U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates for the period presented. Management believes that the fixed currency non-GAAP measures are useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company’s operational performance, as it excludes the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international results. Fixed currency amounts included in this document are based on translation into U.S. dollars at the fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2026. The Company also presents organic changes in net revenues on a consolidated basis or segment specific basis to provide a more complete understanding of underlying revenue trends by providing net revenues on a consistent basis as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, material and completed divestitures, and changes in foreign currency from year-over-year comparisons on reported net revenues, calculated as the difference between the reported net revenues for the current period and reported net revenues for the current period converted at fixed foreign currency exchange rates (excluding material acquisitions and divestitures). The remainder is divided by prior year fixed currency net revenues, excluding the impacts of completed divestitures. For purposes of this calculation, an acquisition or divestiture is considered material based on management’s assessment of its significance to the comparability of the Company’s consolidated or segment-level results. Management applies this threshold consistently across periods. The Company presents free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion, which are liquidity measures used by management as factors in determining the amount of cash that is available for working capital needs or other uses of cash, however, they do not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities plus or minus the following specifically identified items: contingent compensation, systems and business enablement expenses, business process transformation expenses, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, restructuring program related payments, and other miscellaneous items, such as capital market activities and costs or gains/losses associated with fixed asset acquisitions or dispositions. The Company applies these adjustments consistently across periods and will disclose the nature of any new adjustment category at the time it is first included. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted net income. The Company believes that adjusted free cash flow conversion helps investors assess the Company’s ability to convert earnings into cash available for debt repayment, capital allocation, and shareholder returns. The Company calculates its net leverage ratio in accordance with its debt agreements, which include different adjustments to EBITDA, including pro forma financial adjustments for acquisitions and cost savings, that are not reflected in the adjusted EBITDA figures reported in this document. A description of the covenant EBITDA calculation is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While the Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is included later in this document. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP adjusted EBITDA, growth in reported and organic net revenues, and adjusted free cash flow conversion to U.S. GAAP without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for acquisitions and divestitures, systems and business enablement expenses, business process transformation expenses, impairment charges, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions and divestitures, restructuring costs, miscellaneous capital market activities, and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.
