Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies

Background

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. (including subsidiaries, the “Company”) (NYSE: FERG) is a Delaware corporation. Ferguson is a value-added distributor of essential water and air solutions, serving the specialized professional in the residential and non-residential North American construction markets. We help make our customers’ complex projects simple, successful and sustainable by providing expertise and a wide range of products and services from plumbing, HVAC, appliances, and lighting to PVF, water and wastewater solutions, and more. We sell through a common network of distribution centers, branches, counter service and expert sales associates, showroom consultants and e-commerce channels. The corporate headquarters of the Company is located at 751 Lakefront Commons, Newport News, Virginia 23606.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), but do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Transition Report. The financial results for the interim period may not be indicative of the financial results for the entire annual period.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting certain reported amounts in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with banks with original maturities of three months or less and overdrafts to the extent there is a legal right of offset and practice of net settlement with cash balances. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party credit card processors as they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within a few days of the sales transaction.

Restricted cash primarily consists of deferred consideration for business combinations, subject to various settlement agreements. These amounts are recorded in prepaid and other current assets and other non-current assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

8

Supplier finance program

The Company maintains a supplier financing program with a third party financial institution wherein certain of the Company’s shipping and logistics providers in the United States can opt to receive early payment from the third party financial institution at a nominal discount. Such payment terms are independently negotiated between the third party financial institution and the shipping and logistics providers. The Company’s obligations to suppliers are unchanged and payment terms are consistent with the Company’s normal payment terms. All outstanding payables related to the supplier finance program are classified within accounts payable within our condensed consolidated balance sheets and were $76 million and $49 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Recently issued accounting standard updates (“ASU”)

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires new financial statement disclosures disaggregating prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement expense captions, including information about purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization for each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement. Per ASU No. 2025-01, the amendments under ASU No. 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU No. 2024-03 can be adopted either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact on its disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).” The amendments in this update remove all references to the previously existing software development project stages and require entities to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed funding to a software project and it is probable that the project will be completed with its intended functionality. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or utilizing a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, “Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818).” The standard provides accounting and disclosure guidance for environmental credits and related obligations. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is required to be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption that are not discussed above are either not applicable, or will not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2: Segment and net sales information

The Company reports its financial results of operations on a geographical basis in the following two reportable segments: United States and Canada. Each segment generally derives its revenues in the same manner as described in Note 1, Summary of significant accounting policies included in the Transition Report. The Company uses adjusted operating profit as its measure of segment profit. Certain income and expenses are not allocated to the Company’s segments and, thus, the information that management uses to make operating decisions and assess performance does not reflect such amounts.

This segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by the Company’s management, specifically its chief operating decision makers (“CODM”), to make decisions regarding the Company’s business, including resource allocations and performance assessments, as well as the current operating focus in compliance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s CODM are the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.

The significant expenses reviewed by the CODM include operating costs and costs of sales. The operating costs evaluated by the CODM are primarily SG&A, including depreciation expense on long lived assets and software amortization expense.

The CODM use segment adjusted operating profit to evaluate performance and allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) in conjunction with the annual budget process, as well as during periodic business reviews.

Segment results were as follows:

(1) Primarily includes SG&A that is not related to a segment.

(2) See Note 13, Restructuring expenses for further information.

10

Capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization by segment were as follows:

Assets by segment included:

Long-lived assets are as follows:

11

Net sales disaggregation

A disaggregation of net sales by customer group in the United States is as follows:

The Company does not disaggregate sales for Canada based on materiality. No sales to an individual customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during any of the periods presented.

The Company is a value-added distributor in North America, providing a wide range of products from plumbing, HVAC, appliances, and lighting to PVF, water and wastewater solutions, and more. We offer a broad line of products, and items are regularly added to and removed from the Company's inventory. Accordingly, it would be impractical to provide sales information by product category due to the way the business is managed, and the dynamic nature of the inventory offered.

Note 3: Weighted average shares

The following table shows the calculation of diluted shares:

(1) Represents the potential dilutive impact of share-based awards.

Note 4: Income tax

The Company’s tax provision for each period presented was calculated using an estimated annual tax rate, adjusted for discrete items occurring during the applicable period to arrive at an effective tax rate. The effective income tax rates for the relevant periods were as follows:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits balances decreased $28 million and $24 million, respectively. These decreases were mainly due to the lapsing of statutes of limitations.

12

Note 5: Debt

The Company’s debt obligations consisted of the following:

Receivables Securitization Facility

The Company maintains a Receivables Securitization Facility (the “Receivables Facility”) which is primarily governed by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated July 31, 2013, as amended from time to time (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). The Receivables Facility consists of funding for up to $900 million, terminating on October 29, 2027. The Company has the ability to increase the aggregate total available amount under the Receivables Facility up to a total of $1.5 billion, subject to lender participation. As of June 30, 2026, $525 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Receivables Facility. The interest rate under the Receivables Facility was approximately 4.6% as of June 30, 2026.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company, pursuant to a revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), maintains a revolving credit facility that has aggregate total available credit commitments of $1.5 billion (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides the Company with the ability to increase the aggregate capacity of the facility by $500 million under certain conditions, including the receipt of additional or increased lender commitments. As of June 30, 2026, $250 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Facility. The interest rate under the Revolving Facility was approximately 4.8% as of June 30, 2026.

On April 2, 2026, the Company extended the stated maturity date of the commitments under the Revolving Facility from April 2, 2030 to April 2, 2031 by utilizing one of the two extension options available in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Private Placement Notes

In November 2026, $150 million of private placement notes will mature.

Unsecured Senior Notes

In April 2027, $300 million of unsecured senior notes will mature.

Other

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants that were in effect as of June 30, 2026.

13

Note 6: Assets and liabilities at fair value

The Company has not changed its valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets or liabilities during the periods presented. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other debt instruments, such as the Receivables Facility and the Revolving Facility due to the variable interest rates, approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company’s derivatives (interest rate swaps which are considered fair value hedges) and investments in equity instruments are carried at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (Level 2 and Level 3 fair value inputs, respectively) and are not material. The notional amount of the Company’s outstanding fair value hedges was $150 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt were as follows:

Note 7: Commitments and contingencies

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings considered to be normal course of business in relation to, among other things, the products that we supply, contractual and commercial disputes, fleet incidents and disputes with employees. Provision is made if, on the basis of current information and professional advice, liabilities are considered probable. In the case of unfavorable outcomes, the Company may benefit from applicable insurance protection. The Company does not expect any of its pending legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

14

Note 8: Accumulated other comprehensive loss

The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss was as follows:

Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to pension and other post-retirement items include the related income tax impacts. Such amounts consisted of the following:

Note 9: Retirement benefit obligations

The Company maintains pension plans in the U.K. and Canada. The components of net periodic pension cost, which are included in Other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings, were as follows:

The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is included in the amortization of net actuarial losses line above.

15

Note 10: Stockholders’ equity

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s share activity:

Share Repurchases

As of April 30, 2026, the Company had completed $4.7 billion in share repurchases under a September 2021 program that authorized up to $5.0 billion. On April 30, 2026, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $2 billion in aggregate purchases of common stock, replacing the prior program. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has completed $136 million in share repurchases under the April 2026 program.

Note 11: Share-based compensation

The Company grants share-based compensation awards that can be broadly characterized by the underlying vesting conditions as follows:

• Time vested, restricted stock units (“RSU”) vest over time. RSU awards granted prior to October 2024 cliff vest, typically at the end of three years. RSU awards granted in October 2024 and beyond will vest in equal, annual installments over three years. The fair value of these awards is based on the closing share price on the date of grant.
• Multiple metric performance stock units granted to certain members of management (“PSU-EX”) typically vest following three-year performance cycles. The number of shares issued will vary based upon the Company’s performance against pre-determined goals for adjusted EPS growth (diluted), return on capital employed (“ROCE”) and relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”). The fair value of awards vesting based upon EPS growth (diluted) and ROCE are equal to the closing share price on the date of grant and the fair value of rTSR awards are determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulations for the rTSR granted in 2026 were as follows:

16

The following table summarizes the share-based incentive awards activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026:

The following table relates to all share-based compensation awards:

Total unrecognized share-based compensation expense for all share-based payment plans was $141 million at June 30, 2026, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Stock Options

The Company grants stock option awards to certain members of management with an exercise price equal to the closing share price of the Company's common stock on the last trading day prior to the date of grant. These options vest and become exercisable over three years, in equal, annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant, and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

The fair value of the Company's stock options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. When determining expected volatility, the Company considers the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, based on the options’ expected term. The expected term of the options was estimated using the “simplified method” as permitted under Staff Accounting Bulletin 110. We consider the use of the simplified method appropriate due to the lack of sufficient historical data.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in 2026 were as follows:

Stock option activity in 2026 is summarized in the following table:

17

Employee share purchase plan

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. Employee Share Purchase Plan 2021 (the “ESPP”) provides for a limit of 20 million shares of common stock that can be offered for purchase under the plan subject to certain guidelines set forth in the ESPP.

As of June 30, 2026, 19.5 million shares of common stock remain available for purchase under the ESPP. The exercise price per share of common stock is prescribed by the Compensation Committee of the Board for each offering period and may not be less than 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant and the fair market value of common stock on the date of exercise. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 there were approximately 136,659 shares purchased under the ESPP at an average price of $132.23. The expense associated with the ESPP is not material.

Note 12: Acquisitions

The Company acquired seven businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Each of the acquired businesses is generally engaged in the distribution of plumbing, HVAC, wastewater or infrastructure related products or solutions and was acquired to support growth. In each acquisition, the Company obtained control of an integrated set of activities and assets that met the definition of a business under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with ASC 805.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in regard to the Company's acquisitions:

The fair values of the net assets acquired are considered preliminary and are based on management’s best estimates. Further adjustments may be necessary in connection with acquisitions completed in a prior period when additional information becomes available about events that existed at the date of acquisition. Amendments to fair value estimates may be made to these figures during the measurement period following the date of acquisition. There were no material adjustments in the current year that related to the closing of the measurement period of acquisitions made in the prior year. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has made all known material adjustments related to acquisitions in 2026.

The fair value estimates of intangible assets are considered non-recurring, Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy and are estimated as of each respective acquisition date.

The goodwill on these acquisitions is attributable to the anticipated profitability of the new markets and product ranges to which the Company has gained access and additional profitability, operating efficiencies and other synergies available in connection with existing markets. All of the goodwill acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was attributed to the United States, with $99 million expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

18

Deferred consideration represents the expected payout due to certain sellers of acquired businesses that is subject to either 1) a contractual settle-up period or 2) a contingency related to contractually defined performance metrics. If the deferred consideration is contingent on achieving performance metrics, the liability is estimated using assumptions regarding the expectations of an acquiree’s ability to achieve such performance metrics over a period of time that typically spans one to three years. When ultimately paid, deferred consideration is reported as a cash outflow from financing activities.

The businesses acquired during the year-to-date period of 2026 contributed $58 million to net sales and $15 million in losses to the Company’s income before income tax, including transaction and integration costs of $19 million, as well as related acquired intangible asset amortization for the period between the applicable date of acquisition and June 30, 2026. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings.

The net outflow of cash related to business acquisitions is as follows:

(1) Included in other financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Pro forma disclosures

If each acquisition had been completed on the first day of the prior year, the Company’s unaudited pro forma net sales would have been:

The impact on income before income tax, including additional amortization, transaction costs and integration costs would not be material in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

These unaudited pro forma results do not necessarily represent financial results that would have been achieved had the acquisition actually occurred at the beginning of the prior year.

19

Note 13: Restructuring expenses

The Company’s restructuring expenses are summarized below:

Corporate restructuring expenses

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, corporate restructuring expenses primarily related to transition activities following the establishment of our parent company’s domicile in the United States. The Company does not expect further charges to be material.

Business restructuring expenses

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company implemented targeted actions to streamline operations, enhancing speed and efficiency to better serve customers and drive further profitable growth. As a result of these actions, non-recurring business restructuring expenses of $72 million were incurred in the year-to-date period, primarily in the United States. The charges primarily related to severance costs of $45 million, as well as $27 million of non-cash branch and facility costs, mainly related to lease impairments.

Note 14: Subsequent event

On July 13, 2026, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire FWI Holdings, Inc. for approximately $1.6 billion. The Company has committed financing for the acquisition and expects to fund the acquisition through a combination of available cash and borrowings under such financing arrangements. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

20

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) is intended to convey management’s perspective regarding the Company’s operational and financial performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Transition Report.

The following discussion contains trend information and other forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements, as well as from our historical performance, due to various factors, including, but not limited to, those referred to in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

Ferguson is a value-added distributor of essential water and air solutions, serving the specialized professional in the residential and non-residential North American construction markets. We help make our customers’ complex projects simple, successful and sustainable by providing expertise and a wide range of products and services from plumbing, HVAC, appliances, and lighting to PVF, water and wastewater solutions, and more. Ferguson is headquartered in Newport News, Virginia.

The following table presents highlights of the Company’s performance for the periods below:

(1) The Company uses certain non-GAAP measures, which are not defined or specified under U.S. GAAP. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information.”

For the second quarter of 2026, net sales increased by 4.6% compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to price inflation, higher volume and incremental sales from acquisitions.

For the second quarter of 2026, operating profit increased by 6.1% (adjusted operating profit increased 2.9%), compared with the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year change was driven by higher sales and the associated gross profit, partially offset by higher variable operating costs.

For the second quarter of 2026, diluted earnings per share was $3.43 (adjusted diluted earnings per share: $3.39), increasing 6.9% (5.3% on an adjusted basis) compared with the second quarter of 2025 due to higher net income and the impact of share repurchases.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $716 million in the year-to-date period of 2026 compared with $1,123 million in the same period of 2025, primarily reflecting an increased investment in working capital and the timing of income tax payments due to the transition to a calendar year-end, partially offset by higher net income after adjusting for non-cash items.

21

Results of Operations

Net sales

For the second quarter of 2026, net sales were $8.8 billion, an increase of $0.4 billion, or 4.6%, compared with the second quarter of 2025. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by low single digit price inflation, higher volume and incremental sales from acquisitions of 1.0%. The Company’s increase in net sales was driven by growth in non-residential markets and, to a lesser extent, residential markets within its United States segment.

Net sales were $16.2 billion in the year-to-date period of 2026, an increase of $0.6 billion, or 4.2%, compared with the same period in 2025. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by low to mid-single digit price inflation and incremental sales from acquisitions of 0.9%, partially offset by lower sales volume.

Gross profit

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2026 increased $99 million, or 3.8%, compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting increased net sales. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 31.0% in the second quarter of 2026. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 31.2% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease of 0.2% primarily reflects the timing and extent of supplier price increases in the prior year.

Gross profit in the year-to-date period of 2026 increased $201 million, or 4.2%, compared with the same period in 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was flat in the year-over-year comparison.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses

SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2026 increased $68 million, or 4.1%, compared with the second quarter of 2025. SG&A as a percentage of sales was 19.6% in the second quarter of 2026 compared with 19.7% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales primarily reflects the timing and extent of certain incentive accruals in the prior year.

SG&A expenses in the year-to-date period of 2026 increased $110 million, or 3.4%, compared with the same period in 2025. SG&A as a percentage of sales was 20.5% in the year-to-date period of 2026 compared with 20.6% in the same period in 2025. The factors impacting the year-to-date comparisons were largely the same as those noted above for the quarter.

22

Income tax

Income tax expense was $180 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $24 million, or 15.4%, compared with the second quarter of 2025. In the year-to-date period of 2026, income tax expense was $326 million, an increase of $46 million, or 16.4%, compared to the same period in 2025. In both year-over-year comparisons, the increases were mainly due to higher income before income taxes.

The Company’s effective tax rates were 21.3% and 19.7% for the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were 23.2% and 22.2% for the year-to-date periods of 2026 and 2025, respectively. In both year-over-year comparisons, the higher effective tax rates were primarily driven by adjustments related to prior year tax positions.

Net income

Net income for the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2026 was $666 million and $1,080 million, respectively. These represented increases of $32 million, or 5.0%, and $101 million, or 10.3%, compared with the respective periods in 2025 due to the various elements described in the sections above.

Segment results

United States

Net sales for the United States segment were $8.3 billion in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $0.4 billion, or 5.0%, compared with the second quarter of 2025. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by low single digit price inflation, along with volume growth and incremental sales from acquisitions of 1.0%. Net sales in non-residential markets, representing approximately half of revenue in the United States, increased approximately 8% compared with the second quarter of 2025. This increase was driven by commercial/mechanical, industrial and waterworks, including large capital project activity. Net sales in residential markets increased approximately 2% compared with the second quarter of 2025 due to growth in HVAC.

Net sales were $15.5 billion in the year-to-date period of 2026, an increase of $0.6 billion, or 4.3%, compared with the same period in 2025. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by low to mid-single digit price inflation and incremental sales from acquisitions of 0.8%. Net sales in non-residential markets increased approximately 8% compared with the year-to-date period of 2025. This increase was driven by commercial/mechanical, industrial and waterworks, including large capital project activity. Net sales in residential markets increased 1% compared with the year-to-date period of 2025 due to growth in HVAC, partially offset by weak new construction activity and soft repair, maintenance and improvement (“RMI”) work.

Adjusted operating profit for the United States segment was $925 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $26 million, or 2.9%, compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher sales and the associated gross profit, partially offset by higher variable operating costs.

Adjusted operating profit for the United States segment was $1.6 billion in the year-to-date period of 2026, an increase of $0.1 billion, or 4.7%, compared to the same period in 2025. The factors impacting the year-to-date comparison were largely the same as those noted above for the quarter.

Net sales for the Canada segment were $408 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $8 million, or 1.9%, compared with the second quarter of 2025. This decrease in net sales was primarily driven by the impact of non-core business divestments of 3.6%, along with lower sales volume, partially offset by low-single digit price inflation.

Net sales were $734 million in the year-to-date period of 2026, an increase of $9 million, or 1.2%, compared with the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by low-single digit price inflation, incremental sales from acquisitions of 2.6% and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates of 1.9%. These increases were partially offset by the impact of non-core business divestments of 4.1%, along with lower sales volume.

Adjusted operating profit for the Canada segment decreased by $1 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with the second quarter of 2025 due to lower gross margins, partially offset by lower operating costs.

Adjusted operating profit for the Canada segment decreased by $2 million in the year-to-date period of 2026. The factors impacting the year-to-date comparison were largely the same as those noted above for the quarter.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, the Company believes certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the Company’s financial information with additional meaningful information to assist in understanding financial results and assessing the Company’s performance from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted operating profit, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”) - diluted. Management believes these measures are important indicators of operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses, and they are consistent with how business performance is planned, reported and assessed internally by management and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Such non-GAAP adjustments include amortization of acquired intangible assets, discrete tax items, and any other items that are non-recurring. Non-recurring items may include various restructuring charges, gains or losses on the disposals of businesses which by their nature do not reflect primary operations, as well as certain other items deemed non-recurring in nature and/or that are not a result of the Company’s primary operations. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of operations that, when viewed with U.S. GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review the Company’s financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Reconciliation of net income to adjusted operating profit

The following table reconciles net income (U.S. GAAP) to adjusted operating profit (non-GAAP):

(1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, corporate restructuring expenses primarily related to incremental costs in connection with transition activities following the establishment of our parent company’s domicile in the United States.

(2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, business restructuring expenses primarily related to the Company’s implementation of targeted actions to streamline operations, enhancing speed and efficiency to better serve customers and drive further profitable growth.

Reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income and adjusted EPS - diluted

The following table reconciles net income (U.S. GAAP) to adjusted net income and adjusted EPS - diluted (non-GAAP):

(1) Per share on a dilutive basis.

(2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, corporate restructuring expenses primarily related to incremental costs in connection with transition activities following the establishment of our parent company’s domicile in the United States.

(3) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, business restructuring expenses primarily related to the Company’s implementation of targeted actions to streamline operations, enhancing speed and efficiency to better serve customers and drive further profitable growth.

(4) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, discrete tax adjustments were mainly related to the release of uncertain tax positions due to the lapsing of statute of limitations, adjustments related to prior year tax positions, as well as tax treatment of certain compensation items that were not individually significant.

(5) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments primarily related to the amortization of acquired intangibles. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments related to the restructuring expenses and the amortization of acquired intangibles.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company believes its current cash position coupled with cash flow anticipated to be generated from operations and access to capital should be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements for the next 12 months and will also enable the Company to invest and fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments, share repurchases, required debt payments and other contractual obligations through the next several years. The Company also anticipates that it has the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, if necessary.

The Company’s material cash requirements include contractual and other obligations arising in the normal course of business. These obligations primarily include debt service and related interest payments, operating lease obligations and other purchase obligations. The nature and composition of such existing cash requirements have not materially changed from those disclosed in the Transition Report other than items updated in this Quarterly Report.

On July 13, 2026, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire FWI Holdings, Inc. for approximately $1.6 billion. The Company has committed financing for the acquisition and expects to fund the acquisition through a combination of available cash and borrowings under such financing arrangements. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Cash flows

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $437 million and $557 million, respectively. In addition to cash, the Company had $1.6 billion of available liquidity from undrawn debt facilities as of June 30, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s total debt was $4.9 billion. The Company anticipates that it will be able to meet its debt obligations as they become due.

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $716 million and $1,123 million for the year-to-date periods of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $407 million decrease was mainly due to an increased investment in working capital and the timing of both income tax payments and cash incentive payouts due to the transition to a calendar year-end, partially offset by higher net income (adjusted for non-cash items). The increase in working capital was primarily driven by an increase in receivables due to increased sales as well as the timing of collections year-over-year and higher inventory purchases in consideration of customer demand, which was partially offset by the timing of vendor payments compared with the prior year.

Cash flows from investing activities

Capital expenditures totaled $234 million and $141 million for the year-to-date periods of 2026 and 2025, respectively. These investments were primarily for strategic projects to support future growth, such as new market distribution centers, our branch network and new technology. In addition, the Company invested $583 million and $226 million in new acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

27

Cash flows from financing activities

Dividends paid to shareholders were $347 million and $330 million for the year-to-date periods of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Share repurchases under the Company’s authorized share repurchase programs were $438 million and $428 million for the year-to-date periods of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Net proceeds from debt transactions were $775 million compared with net payments of $225 million for the year-to-date periods of 2026 and 2025, respectively. In the year-to-date period of 2026, the Company had net borrowings of $525 million under the Receivables Facility and $250 million under the Revolving Facility (each, defined below). In the year-to-date period of 2025, the Company had net repayments of $225 million under the Receivables Facility.

Item 5.Other Information

Insider trading arrangements

Due to the Company’s change in fiscal year end, certain previously granted equity awards are now scheduled to vest during a period in which the Company’s insider trading policy restricts trading for certain individuals. This timing misalignment is expected to recur until all outstanding awards granted under the Company’s former fiscal year reporting cycle have vested. To facilitate the sale of shares to be received upon the vesting of such awards, the following officers adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements1, as defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K (“Plan”), during the quarter ended June 30, 2026:

(1) During the quarter, no director or officer (i) terminated a Plan or (ii) adopted or terminated a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).

(2) The Plans provide for the sale of a specified percentage of shares to be received upon future vesting of certain outstanding equity awards, net of any shares withheld by the Company to satisfy applicable taxes. The actual number of shares to be sold pursuant to each Plan may vary and will depend upon, as applicable, the vesting of performance-based awards, future dividend equivalent accruals with respect to awards that include dividend equivalent rights, as well as the number of shares withheld for tax purposes. For purposes of this disclosure, any shares underlying performance-based equity awards were calculated at target and the total number of shares underlying any equity awards with dividend equivalent rights include the dividend equivalents accrued as of the date of each Plan.

(3) Each Plan expires on the date shown above, subject to earlier termination as provided in each Plan.
