  Second Quarter 2026 Results

  Versigent delivered second quarter 2026 net sales of $2,444 million, an increase of 10.8% compared to the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted Net Sales Growth¹ was approximately 5% year-over-year. Growth was driven by higher volumes in North America and Asia Pacific reflecting stronger customer demand despite lower global automotive production.
  

  Net income attributable to Versigent increased to $118 million in the second quarter from $107 million in the prior-year quarter. Net income margin was 4.8%, down 10 basis points year-over-year, primarily due to higher interest expense and income tax expense in the second quarter of 2026. Diluted earnings per share was $1.64 and Adjusted Diluted EPS¹ was $1.92 for the second quarter of 2026.
  

  Adjusted EBITDA¹ totaled $272 million, compared to $218 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA¹ margin was 11.1% compared to 9.9% in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA¹ margin reflected disciplined operating execution and higher volumes, despite headwinds related to commodity costs.
  

  Interest expense totaled $36 million, compared to $1 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company’s senior notes and credit facility issued in the first quarter of 2026.

  Income tax expense for the quarter was $46 million, compared to $21 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings in 2026 and a net unfavorable change in discrete tax items relative to the prior-year period.
  

  Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $158 million, compared to $150 million in the prior-year period. Capital expenditures were $51 million, compared to $42 million in the prior-year quarter. Free Cash Flow¹ was $107 million, relatively flat year-over-year. Free Cash Flow¹ for the second quarter of 2026 included $22 million of separation-related costs.  

  Dividend

  On August 3, the Company's Board of Directors declared an inaugural quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per ordinary share, payable on September 18, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 4, 2026.
  

  The declaration and payment of future dividends are subject to the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

  (a) Forward-looking non-GAAP measure. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP because to do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant. Refer to "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for definitions of Non-GAAP financial measures.

  Use of Non‑GAAP Financial Measures

  In addition to its reported results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has included in this press release Adjusted Net Sales Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS, performance measures, and Free Cash Flow, a liquidity measure, that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as “non-GAAP financial measures”. Adjusted Net Sales Growth represents the change in reported net sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on net sales from currency exchange and commodity movements. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to Versigent before depreciation and amortization (including asset impairments), interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest, other income (expense), net, equity income (loss), net of tax, restructuring, separation costs related to the Spin-Off, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures) and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted Net Income represents net (loss) income attributable to Versigent before amortization, restructuring, separation costs related to the Spin-Off, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures) and other special items, including the tax impact thereon. Adjusted Diluted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.
  

  Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In particular, management believes Adjusted Net Sales Growth,  Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are useful measures in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. 

  Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures in the attached supplemental schedules at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
