Record total sales increased 10%, with core organic sales down 1%
Accelerating ESAB's compounder journey with equipment
Acquisitions outperforming with EWM and Aktiv up double-digits
Eddyfi expected to close mid-year
Reiterating 2026 Outlook

ESAB Corporation ("ESAB" or the "Company") (NYSE:ESAB), a focused premier industrial compounder, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

ESAB reported record first quarter sales of $746 million, an increase of 10% on a reported basis or a decrease of 1% on a core organic growth basis before acquisitions and currency translation, as compared to the prior year. ESAB also reported first quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to ESAB of $50 million or $0.82 diluted earnings per share and core adjusted net income of $80 million or $1.31 diluted earnings per share, up 5% on a year-over-year basis. Core adjusted EBITDA of $136 million rose 6% and core adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 80 basis points on a year-over-year basis to 19.0%, reflecting EWM dilution and additional costs related to the conflict in Iran, both as compared to the prior year quarter.

"ESAB delivered a strong first quarter, a powerful demonstration of the resilience of our business model and the strength of our unmatched global footprint. The Americas remained solid, with the U.S. accelerating behind our new and innovative product launches, while Europe and Asia performed in line with expectations. The Middle East saw limited disruption following the start of the conflict, and most importantly, our teams are safe and continuing to serve customers with the agility that defines ESAB. Where the conflict has pressured global supply chains and input costs, we have moved decisively to implement pricing and operational actions that we expect to fully offset the impact," said Shyam P. Kambeyanda, ESAB President and CEO.

Kambeyanda added, "2026 is another positive inflection point for ESAB, and we are energized about the path ahead. Customer enthusiasm for EWM's portfolio is exceeding our expectations, representing a clear differentiator for ESAB. The integration of EWM is progressing ahead of schedule and we are excited about the future. Building on that momentum, we are thrilled to welcome Eddyfi into the ESAB family, which represents a defining step that extends our workflow solutions, opens compelling new adjacencies, and meaningfully accelerates ESAB's journey to becoming a premier industrial compounder. The Eddyfi financing is successfully completed, and the transaction remains on-track to close mid-year. Last and most importantly, I am delighted to welcome Brent Jones as our new CFO, whose outstanding leadership and deeply relevant experience will be instrumental in delivering our financial targets, advancing our premier strategy, and creating long-term shareholder value."

Reiterating Full Year 2026 Outlook

ESAB is reiterating its full-year 2026 outlook. We remain confident in our ability to achieve our full-year 2026 core organic sales growth, core adjusted EBITDA and core adjusted EPS outlook. This assumes total core sales growth of 6.0% to 9.0%, core organic sales growth of 2.0% to 4.0%, M&A contribution of 4.0%, FX impact of 0.0% to 1.0%, core adjusted EBITDA of $575 million to $595 million and core adjusted EPS of $5.70 to $5.90. The guidance above does not include any impact from the Eddyfi acquisition or its related financing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments

ESAB has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("non-GAAP"). ESAB presents some of these non-GAAP financial measures including and excluding Russia due to economic and political volatility caused by the war in Ukraine, which results in enhanced investor interest in this information. Core non-GAAP financial measures exclude Russia for the three months ended April 3, 2026, and April 4, 2025. These non-GAAP financial measures may include one or more of the following: adjusted net income from continuing operations, Core adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, Pension settlement loss, Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition transaction, due diligence and integration expenses, amortization of intangibles and fair value step up on acquired inventories and depreciation and other amortization), Core adjusted EBITDA, organic sales, Core organic sales, adjusted free cash flow and ratios based on the foregoing measures. ESAB also provides adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin on a segment basis, as well as Core adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA margin on a segment basis.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations represents Net income from continuing operations attributable to ESAB Corporation, excluding Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition transaction, due diligence and integration expenses and amortization of intangibles and fair value step up on acquired inventories. Adjusted net income includes the tax effect of non-GAAP adjusting items at applicable tax rates and excludes the impact of discrete tax charges or gains in each period. ESAB also presents adjusted net income margin from continuing operations, which is subject to the same adjustments as adjusted net income from continuing operations. Adjusted net income per diluted share from continuing operations is a calculation of adjusted net income from continuing operations over the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. ESAB also presents Core adjusted net income from continuing operations and Core adjusted net income per share - diluted from continuing operations, which are subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted net income from continuing operations and Adjusted net income per diluted share from continuing operations, further removing the impact of Russia for the three months ended April 3, 2026, and April 4, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes from Net income from continuing operations the effect of Income tax expense, Interest expense and other, net, Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition transaction, due diligence and integration expenses, amortization of intangibles and fair value step up on acquired inventories and depreciation and other amortization. ESAB presents adjusted EBITDA margin, which is subject to the same adjustments as adjusted EBITDA. Further, ESAB presents these non-GAAP performance measures on a segment basis, which excludes the impact of Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition transaction, due diligence and integration expenses, amortization of intangibles and fair value step up on acquired inventories and depreciation and other amortization from operating income. ESAB also presents Core adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA margin, which are subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, respectively, further removing the impact of Russia for the three months ended April 3, 2026, and April 4, 2025.

ESAB presents organic sales, which excludes the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations and presents core organic sales, which further excludes the impact of the Russia business for the three months ended April 3, 2026, and April 4, 2025.

Adjusted free cash flow represents cash flows from operating activities excluding cash outflows related to discontinued operations and acquisition-related payments less Purchases of property, plant and equipment.

These non-GAAP financial measures assist ESAB management in comparing its operating performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to unusual events or discrete restructuring plans and other initiatives that are fundamentally different from the ongoing productivity and core business of the Company.

ESAB management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that the Company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.
