Filtration Group expects calendar year 2025 sales of $2 billion with adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.5% and employs approximately 7,500 team members serving customers around the world.

The transaction is expected to be accretive to Parker's organic growth, synergized EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS, and cash flow, and to achieve a high single-digit cash ROIC by year five.
