See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for a definition of, and further explanation about, organic sales.

"Our first quarter was encouraging, led by robust sales growth with customers in critical industries and improved activity in the U.S. Tools Group, both demonstrating our considerable momentum despite the ongoing and ever-evolving turbulence," said Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on chairman and chief executive officer. "While meaningful headwinds persist, including broad uncertainty among our technician customer base in the U.S., international supply chain disruptions, and a number of global conflicts, we are confident in the strength, resilience, and criticality of our markets. In addition, we remain focused on wielding and building the power inherent in our products, in our brands, and in our people, continuing to invest in these corridors of advantage even in the midst of these increasingly difficult times. We believe our results show the diverse opportunities along our runways for growth both within automotive repair and with customers outside the garage. In that regard, we've maintained our actions to match the current preference of vehicle technicians for quick payback items and to extend our penetration of critical industries with effective customized solutions. At the same time, we're leveraging our Snap-on Value Creation Processes to proceed through the challenges of today, driving improvements across the organization that we expect will author substantial and sustained gains as we move forward. As always, I want to thank our franchisees and associates worldwide for their notable contributions to our progress, for their unwavering dedication to our team, and for their steadfast belief in the significant potential of our future."

Segment Results

Commercial & Industrial Group segment sales of $381.0 million in the quarter compared to $343.9 million last year, reflecting a $25.2 million, or 7.1%, organic sales gain and $11.9 million of favorable foreign currency translation. The organic increase includes higher sales in each of the segment's operations, led by improved activity with customers in critical industries and in the specialty torque business.

Operating earnings of $54.9 million in the period compared to $53.2 million in 2025. The operating margin (operating earnings as a percentage of segment sales) of 14.4%, including 50 basis points of unfavorable currency effects, compared to 15.5% last year.

Snap-on Tools Group segment sales of $486.0 million in the quarter compared to $462.9 million last year, reflecting a $15.9 million, or 3.4%, organic sales increase and $7.2 million of favorable foreign currency translation. The organic gain is due to higher sales both in the U.S. and in the segment's international operations.

Operating earnings of $105.0 million in the period compared to $92.4 million in 2025. The operating margin of 21.6% improved 160 basis points from 20.0% a year ago.

Repair Systems & Information Group segment sales of $485.3 million in the quarter compared to $475.9 million in 2025, primarily reflecting $9.1 million of favorable foreign currency translation. On an organic basis, increased sales of diagnostic and repair information products to independent repair shop owners and managers were offset by lower activity with OEM dealerships, while undercar equipment was essentially flat.

Operating earnings of $119.5 million in the period compared to $122.1 million in 2025. The operating margin of 24.6%, including 60 basis points of unfavorable currency effects, compared to 25.7% last year.

Financial Services operating earnings of $68.0 million on revenue of $101.1 million in the quarter compared to operating earnings of $70.3 million on revenue of $102.1 million last year. Originations of $264.6 million in the first quarter represented a decrease of $4.1 million, or 1.5%, from 2025 levels.

Corporate expenses in the first quarter of $28.6 million compared to $24.6 million last year.

Outlook

We believe that our markets and our operations possess and have demonstrated continuing and considerable resilience against the uncertainties of the current environment. Snap-on expects to make ongoing progress along its decisive runways for coherent growth, leveraging capabilities already proven in the automotive repair arena, developing and expanding its professional customer base, not only in automotive repair, but in adjacent markets, additional geographies and other areas, including extending in critical industries, where the cost and penalties for failure are high. In pursuit of these initiatives, we project that capital expenditures in 2026 will approximate $100 million, of which $21.2 million was incurred in the first three months of the year.

Snap-on currently anticipates that its full-year 2026 effective income tax rate will be in the range of 22% to 23%.

Non-GAAP Measures

References in this release to "organic sales" refer to sales from continuing operations calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), adjusted to exclude acquisition-related sales and the impact of foreign currency translation. Management evaluates the company's sales performance based on organic sales growth, which primarily reflects growth from the company's existing businesses as a result of increased output, expanded customer base, geographic expansion, new product development and pricing changes, and excludes sales contributions from acquired operations the company did not own as of the comparable prior-year reporting period. Organic sales also exclude the effects of foreign currency translation as foreign currency translation is subject to volatility that can obscure underlying business trends. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure of organic sales is meaningful to investors as it provides them with useful information to aid in identifying underlying growth trends in the company's businesses and facilitates comparisons of its sales performance with prior periods.
