First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Consolidated Results Comparisons

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were $144.2 million compared to $145.2 million in the prior-year period, a decrease of 1%. On an organic basis, sales declined 2% year-over-year. IT&S sales declined 3% on an organic basis, which was partially offset by 27% growth at Cortland Biomedical.

Within IT&S, product sales increased 4% organically while service revenue declined 26% year-over-year, primarily due to softness in the UK market.

First quarter fiscal 2026 net earnings and diluted EPS were $19.1 million and $0.36 respectively, compared to $21.7 million and $0.40, respectively, in the year-ago period.

First quarter adjusted EBITDA was $32.4 million compared to $34.3 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 120 basis points year-over-year to 22.4% as a result of a lower gross margin and slight deleveraging of operating expenses on lower sales.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $16.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to $8.6 million in the prior-year period.

(US$ in millions)	November 30, 2025	August 31, 2025	November 30, 2024

Net debt on November 30, 2025, was $49.4 million, resulting in a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.3x. The Company repurchased approximately 377,000 shares of its common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 for a total of $14.9 million under its share repurchase program announced in October 2025.

Outlook

The Company is maintaining its fiscal 2026 outlook, projecting a net sales range of $635 million to $655 million and organic sales growth of 1% to 4%. The Company also forecasts adjusted EBITDA of $158 million to $168 million, adjusted EPS of $1.85 to $2.00, and free cash flow of $100 million to $110 million. This guidance is based on the Company's key foreign exchange rate assumptions and assumes no substantial change to the current tariff or regulatory environment.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that are not measures presented in conformity with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include organic sales, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating profit, segment adjusted operating profit and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted corporate expense, adjusted SG&A expense, free cash flow and net debt. This press release includes reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, included in the tables attached to this press release or in footnotes to the tables included in this press release. Management believes the non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate Enerpac Tool Group's operating performance and financial position with respect to the periods presented and, when read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to evaluate ongoing operations and provide investors with metrics they can use to evaluate aspects of the Company's performance from period to period. In addition, these are some of the financial metrics management uses in internal evaluations of the overall performance of the Company's business. 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. Adjusted diluted earnings per share anticipated for fiscal year 2026 is calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of that measure in the accompanying tables. Because of the forward-looking nature of this estimate, it is impractical to present a quantitative reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure, and accordingly no such GAAP measure for that period is being presented.

Notes:
(1) EBITDA represents net earnings before financing costs, net, income tax expense, and depreciation & amortization. Neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA are calculated based upon generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The amounts included in the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings, operating profit or operating cash flows. The Company has presented EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it regularly reviews these performance measures. In addition, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used by many of our investors and lenders, and are presented as a convenience to them. The EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA measures presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

Notes continued:
(3) Adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net earnings and diluted earnings per share per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings net of charges or credits for items to be highlighted for comparability purposes. These measures are not calculated based upon GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or diluted earnings per share or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. However, this presentation is important to investors for understanding the operating results of the current portfolio of Enerpac Tool Group companies.

For all reconciliations of GAAP measures to Non-GAAP measures, the summation of the individual components may not equal the total due to rounding.

Notes continued:
(4) Management does not provide guidance on certain GAAP financial measures as we are unable to predict and estimate with certainty items such as potential impairments, refinancing costs, business divestiture gains/losses, discrete tax adjustments, or other items impacting GAAP financial metrics. As a result, we have included only those items about which we are aware and are reasonably likely to occur during the guidance period covered.
