GAAP items excluded from guidance may include the after-tax impact of items including acquisition and integration costs, restructuring, impairment and other charges, certain purchase accounting adjustments, non-operating foreign exchange adjustments and significant and unusual items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. Littelfuse is not able to forecast the excluded items in order to provide the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.

Second Quarter 2026 Segment Performance Highlights

Electronics Segment

• Net sales for the second quarter 2026 increased +21%. Organic sales increased +20% driven by improved passive products (+26% organic) sales. Semiconductor product (+15% organic) sales also contributed to growth driven by increased protection and power semiconductor volumes. Favorable FX contributed +1% to growth.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter 2026 increased to 26.3% (+470 bps) due to volume leverage, favorable mix, and operational execution in both passive products and semiconductor products.

Transportation Segment

• Net sales for the second quarter 2026 increased +2% as organic sales increased +1% while favorable FX contributed +1% to growth. Organic sales growth benefited from improved commercial vehicle sales (+4% organic), which offset lower passenger vehicle organic sales (-2%). Commercial vehicle sales growth benefited from improved truck, construction and agricultural equipment demand. Passenger vehicle sales were impacted by lower global passenger car builds and auto sensor product declines.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter 2026 decreased to 18.6% (-190 bps) driven by lower commercial vehicle profitability which more than offset passenger vehicle margin expansion.

Industrial Segment

• Net sales for the second quarter 2026 increased +52%. Organic sales increased +16% driven by improved data center, HVAC, industrial automation, and construction demand. The Basler acquisition contributed +36% to growth.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter 2026 increased to 22.6% (+50 bps) driven by favorable volume leverage and mix.

Dividend

• The company will pay a cash dividend of $0.80 per share on its common stock, a 7% increase from the prior quarter dividend of $0.75 per share. The dividend will be paid on September 3, 2026, to shareholders of record as of August 20, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information included in this press release and other materials filed with the SEC may include non-GAAP financial measures including organic net sales (decline) growth, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted income taxes, adjusted effective tax rate, free cash flow, net debt, consolidated EBITDA, and consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement). Many of these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of certain expenses and income not related directly to the underlying performance of our fundamental business operations. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is set forth in the attached schedules. The company believes that organic net sales (decline) growth, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted income taxes, and adjusted effective tax rate provide useful information to investors regarding its operational performance because they enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the company’s core financial performance and facilitate comparisons to historical results of operations, by excluding items that are not related directly to the underlying performance of its fundamental business operations or were not part of the company’s business operations during a comparable period. The company believes that free cash flow is a useful measure of its ability to generate cash. The company believes that net debt, consolidated EBITDA, and consolidated net leverage ratio are useful measures of its credit position. The company believes that all of these non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used by financial analysts and others in the industries in which we operate, and thus further provide useful information to investors. Management additionally uses these measures when assessing the performance of the business and for business planning purposes. Note that the company’s definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those terms as defined or used by other companies.
