GAAP operating profit margin of 19.5%, and Adjusted operating profit margin of 26.5%.

Crane NXT, Co. (NYSE:CXT), a premier industrial technology company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2023. On April 3, 2023, Crane Holdings, Co. completed the separation of its wholly-owned subsidiary at that time, Crane Company, in a tax-free distribution of Crane Company shares to Crane Holdings, Co. stockholders, and changed its name to Crane NXT, Co. Historical financial measures in this release for Crane NXT are presented on a carve-out basis.

Aaron W. Saak, Crane NXT's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We delivered very strong second quarter results, our first quarter as a newly independent company. Core sales increased 6% with impressive operating leverage driving adjusted margins above 30% in each of our segments. Our continued strong performance reflects both our position as a premier industrial technology company with differentiated technology and leading market positions, as well as our focus on continuous improvement through deployment of the Crane Business System (CBS). Our strong cash flow enabled us to further strengthen our balance sheet by repaying $50 million of outstanding debt, and our low leverage and flexible balance sheet provide the potential for substantial value creation through capital deployment."

Mr. Saak continued: "Our results over the last two quarters were very strong. That performance, along with continued customer demand and our sizeable backlog, give us confidence in our outlook for the second half of 2023. As a result of those factors, we are raising the midpoint of our adjusted EPS guidance range by $0.10 to a range of $3.85-$4.15."

Crane NXT reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted EPS, free cash flow and Adjusted free cash Flow, that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking or projected basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Crane NXT. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore the Company's non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliations of certain forward-looking and projected non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted segment margin and Adjusted EPS, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, which could have a potentially significant impact on Crane NXT's future GAAP results. Crane NXT calculates Adjusted segment margin and Adjusted EPS as described below.

"Adjusted segment margin" is calculated as Adjusted segment profit divided by sales. Adjusted segment profit is calculated as segment profit excluding intangible asset amortization, stock-based compensation adjustment resulting from the separation and transaction related expenses such as tax charges, professional fees, and incremental costs related to the separation.

"Adjusted EPS" is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding intangible asset amortization, stock-based compensation adjustment resulting from the separation and transaction related expenses such as tax charges, professional fees, and incremental costs related to the separation.

The Company's management believes that each of the following non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial conditions and operations:

"Adjusted operating profit" and "Adjusted operating margin" add back to operating profit items which are outside of the Company's core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which management believes may complicate the interpretation of the Company's underlying earnings and operational performance. These items include income and expense such as: intangible asset amortization, stock-based compensation adjustment resulting from the separation and transaction related expenses. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

"Adjusted net income" and "Adjusted EPS" exclude items which are outside of the Company's core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which management believes may complicate the presentation of the Company's underlying earnings and operational performance. These measures include income and expense items that impacted operating profit such as: intangible asset amortization, stock-based compensation adjustment resulting from the separation and transaction related expenses. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude income and expense items that impacted net income and earnings per diluted share such as: pre-separation related party interest expense. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

"Free cash flow" and "Adjusted free cash flow" provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company's ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of free cash flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company's long-term debt. Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital spending. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow adjusted for certain cash items which management believes may complicate the interpretation of the Company's underlying free cash flow performance such as certain transaction related cash flow items related to 2022 portfolio actions. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future cash flows that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

"Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA margin" excludes net interest expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense from net income, as well as Special items such as stock-based compensation adjustment resulting from the separation and transaction related expenses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
