Financial Highlights

(Amounts in millions except per share data and percentages)

Fourth Quarter 2025 Consolidated Results

Sales of $295.4 million increased 14.3%. Strength in aerospace, food and biopharma, and domestic general industrial markets, in addition to some recovery in semiconductor demand and strategic pricing actions, offset continued weakness in commercial vehicle OEM demand, a choppy nuclear power market in Europe, and slow general industrial sales internationally. Excluding the acquisition contributions and foreign currency exchange translation, organic sales grew 9.9%.

Net loss was $32.0 million, compared to net income of $13.9 million in the prior year. During the fourth quarter, Enpro substantially completed the termination of its U.S. defined benefit pension plan, incurring a pre-tax, non-cash settlement loss of $67.2 million, satisfying any remaining pension obligations under this plan. Adjusted net income* of $42.3 million increased 27.4% compared to last year. Diluted loss per share was $1.52, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.66 in the prior year, driven by the pension plan termination. Adjusted diluted earnings per share* of $1.99 increased 26.8%.

Adjusted EBITDA* of $69.4 million increased 19.2% from $58.2 million last year primarily driven by continued strong year-over-year performance in the Sealing Technologies segment, offset in part by expenses supporting growth initiatives in the Advanced Surface Technologies (AST) segment.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Segment Highlights

Sealing Technologies – Safeguarding environments with critical process solutions in diverse end markets Garlock, STEMCO and Technetics Group

• Sales increased 14.8% over the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation and the contribution from the acquisitions of AlpHa Measurement Solutions and Overlook Industries, sales increased 7.7%. Strong demand in aerospace, food and biopharma and domestic general industrial markets, as well as strategic pricing actions offset continued weakness in commercial vehicle OEM demand and choppy nuclear energy results in Europe.
• Adjusted segment EBITDA increased 21.1% versus the prior-year period. Improved volume and strategic pricing initiatives drove increased segment profitability. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation and the acquisitions, adjusted segment EBITDA increased 15.0% compared to last year.

Advanced Surface Technologies – Leading edge precision manufacturing, coatings, innovative optical solutions and cleaning and refurbishment solutions – NxEdge, Technetics Semi, LeanTeq and Alluxa

• Sales increased 13.4% over last year, driven primarily by strength in leading-edge precision cleaning solutions, optical coatings, and some improvement in semiconductor capital equipment demand.
• Adjusted segment EBITDA increased 3.3% versus last year. Contribution from higher sales was mostly offset by increased expenses supporting organic growth programs and mix headwinds associated with a higher volume of lower-margin components supporting capital equipment.

Full Year 2025 Consolidated Results

Sales of $1.14 billion increased 9.0% compared to last year. On an organic basis, sales improved 7.6% year-over-year, driven primarily by improved sales in semiconductor, food and biopharma, aerospace, and domestic general industrial markets, partially offset by slow commercial vehicle OEM and international general industrial demand.

Net income decreased to $40.5 million, compared to $72.9 million in the prior year, driven primarily by the $67.2 million pre-tax, non-cash pension settlement loss recognized in the fourth quarter upon the completion of the termination of Enpro’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan. Adjusted net income* of $168.0 million increased 14.4% compared to 2024. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $1.91, primarily due to the fourth quarter pension settlement. Adjusted diluted earnings per share* increased 13.6% to $7.91.

Adjusted EBITDA* of $277.6 million increased 8.9% compared to last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin* of 24.3% was even with last year year-over-year as sales growth was offset by increased operating expenses supporting growth initiatives and, to a lesser extent, unfavorable mix in AST.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

The company generated $201.2 million of cash flow from operations during the year ended December 31, 2025, up 24% compared to $162.9 million of cash flow from operations last year.

Free cash flow increased 18% to $153.1 million, net of $48.1 million in capital expenditures and capitalized software, compared to $130.0 million, net of $32.9 million in capital expenditures and capitalized software, last year.

During the fourth quarter, the company paid a regular quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share, with dividends totaling $26.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Enpro ended the fourth quarter with cash of $114.7 million and approximately $580 million available under its $800 million revolving credit facility. The company exited 2025 with a net leverage ratio of approximately 2.0x.

Termination and Settlement of U.S. Pension Obligations

In the second quarter of 2024, Enpro initiated a plan to terminate and settle its remaining defined benefit pension plan in the United States. The termination and settlement process for this frozen plan, which preserves retirement benefits due to participants but changes the ultimate payor of such benefits, was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. Enpro’s pension liability obligation under this plan has been fully satisfied based on these actions. As a result, Enpro incurred a non-cash settlement loss of $67.2 million recorded to other non-operating expense primarily associated with recognition of life-to-date actuarial losses attributed to the plan, previously deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Quarterly Dividend

On February 13, 2026, Enpro Inc. declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share, representing an increase of 3.2% from the $0.31 dividend paid in the prior quarter. The dividend is payable on March 18, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 4, 2026. The company has increased its quarterly dividend for eleven consecutive years since initiating a dividend in 2015.

2026 Guidance

Enpro introduces guidance for full-year 2026 and currently expects revenue growth to be in 8% to 12% range, adjusted EBITDA* to be in the range of $305 million to $320 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share* to be in the range of $8.50 to $9.20.

Segment Operating Performance Measure

The segment profitability metric used by management to allocate resources and assess segment performance is adjusted segment EBITDA, which is segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and other costs identifiable with the segment, excluding acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-controlling interest compensation, amortization of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory, and depreciation and amortization. Segment non-operating expenses and income, corporate expenses, net interest expense, and income taxes are not included in the computation of adjusted segment EBITDA. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the segment profitability metric used by management to allocate resources and assess segment performance is required to be disclosed in financial statement footnotes, and accordingly such metric as presented for each segment is not deemed to be a non-GAAP measure under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that have not been prepared in conformity with GAAP. They include adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, total adjusted segment EBITDA, and free cash flow. Tables showing the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures are attached to the release. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share anticipated for full-year 2025 are calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of these measures in the attached tables. Because of the forward-looking nature of these estimates, it is impractical to present quantitative reconciliations of such measures to comparable GAAP measures, and accordingly no such GAAP measures are being presented.

Management believes these non-GAAP metrics are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance and, when read in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to evaluate the company’s ongoing operations and performance from period to period. In addition, these are some of the factors the company uses in internal evaluations of the overall performance of its businesses. Management acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements and Guidance

Statements in this press release that express a belief, expectation, or intention, including 2026 guidance and other statements that are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: economic conditions in the markets served by the company’s businesses and the businesses of its customers, some of which are cyclical and experience periodic downturns and may be affected by the imposition or threat of imposition of tariffs; the impact of geopolitical activity on those markets, including instabilities associated with the armed conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East region and any conflict or threat of conflict that may affect Taiwan; uncertainties with respect to the imposition, or threat of imposition, of government tariffs, embargoes and other trade protection measures, such as “anti-dumping” duties applicable to classes of products, and import or export licensing requirements, as well as the imposition of trade sanctions against a class of products imported from or sold and exported to, or the loss of “normal trade relations” status with, countries in which the company conducts business, could significantly increase the company’s cost of products or otherwise reduce its sales and harm its business; uncertainties with respect to prices and availability of raw materials, including as a result of instabilities from geopolitical conflicts and the imposition of tariffs; uncertainties with respect to the company’s ability to achieve anticipated growth within the semiconductor, life sciences, and other technology-enabled markets, including uncertainties with respect to receipt of CHIPS Act support and the timing of completion of the new Arizona facility; the impact of fluctuations in relevant foreign currency exchange rates or unanticipated increases in applicable interest rates; unanticipated delays or problems in introducing new products; the impact from any pending or potential labor disputes; announcements by competitors of new products, services or technological innovations; changes in the company’s pricing policies or the pricing policies of its competitors; risks related to the reliance of the Advanced Surface Technologies segment on a small number of significant customers and the geographic concentration of those customers; uncertainties with respect to the company’s ability to identify and complete business acquisitions consistent with its strategy and to successfully integrate any businesses that it acquires; and uncertainties with respect to the amount of any payments required to satisfy contingent liabilities, including those related to discontinued operations, other divested businesses and discontinued operations of the company’s predecessors, including liabilities for certain products, environmental matters, employee benefit and statutory severance obligations and other matters. Enpro’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports, describe these and other risks and uncertainties in more detail. Enpro does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect any change in management’s expectations or any change in the assumptions or circumstances on which such statements are based.

Full-year guidance is subject to the risks and uncertainties discussed above and specifically excludes changes in the number of shares outstanding, impacts from future acquisitions, dispositions and related transaction costs, restructuring costs and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, in each case subsequent to December 31, 2025, and any incremental impact on demands and costs arising from tariffs announced, or trade tensions arising, subsequent to February 17, 2026.
