At the same time, we are on track to deliver $10 to $12 million of savings this year with our Enterprise Productivity Program, which has already begun to add to margin expansion and cash generation, creating additional capacity to invest in strategic growth opportunities. Supported by a strong balance sheet and disciplined capital allocation, we remain well positioned to create long-term value for shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2026 Segment Highlights

(All results compared with the second quarter of 2025 unless otherwise noted.)

Sensors & Safety Systems (S&SS)

Power grid monitoring solutions, defense and space technologies, industrial sensors for demanding environments

• Revenue of $347 million, up 12%, and up 11% organically

• Operating profit of $99 million and operating profit margin of 28.4%, up 24% and up 290 basis points, respectively

• Adjusted EBITDA of $102 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.4%, up 16% and up 100 basis points, respectively; up 350 basis points on a normalized basis

Industrial Manufacturing and Other end markets accelerated during the quarter, reflecting a broadening short-cycle industrial recovery. In Defense & Space, growth was driven by continued execution against a multi-year backlog supporting the replenishment of critical missile and munitions programs. Utilities delivered record quarterly orders and revenue as customers continued to invest in grid modernization and reliability projects supported by durable secular demand.

Operating profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded during the quarter, driven primarily by operating leverage on higher volumes, pricing actions, and productivity savings, partially offset by higher variable employee compensation. Operating profit margin also benefited from lapping pre-spin corporate cost allocations. On a normalized basis, adjusted EBITDA margin expansion was similarly driven by operating leverage, pricing benefits, and productivity savings.

Test & Measurement (T&M)

Precision instruments and services for advanced electronics

• Revenue of $221 million, up 15%, and up 16% organically

• Operating profit of $5 million and operating profit margin of 2.4%, up 138% and 980 basis points, respectively

• Adjusted EBITDA of $32 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.7%, up 86% and 560 basis points, respectively; up 750 basis points on a normalized basis

Growth was broad-based across the segment during the quarter. Diversified Electronics continued to benefit from strong customer investment in electrification. Communications was supported by data center, defense, and government demand. Semiconductor returned to growth as market conditions improved, particularly in power semiconductor applications.

Profitability improved meaningfully, with both operating profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margin expanding year-over-year. Higher volume, pricing realization, and productivity savings drove strong operating leverage, partially offset by higher variable employee compensation. Operating profit margin also benefited from lapping prior-year pre-spin corporate cost allocations. On a normalized basis, adjusted EBITDA margin expansion was similarly driven by operating leverage, pricing benefits, and productivity savings.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

On a reported basis, the Company generated $106 million of cash flows from operating activities and invested $6 million in capital expenditures in the second quarter. On a TTM basis, the Company generated $365 million of cash flows from operating activities and $328 million in free cash flow. At the end of the second quarter, the Company had $271 million of cash and equivalents and $1.15 billion of long-term debt.

Year-to-date, the Company returned $161 million of capital to shareholders through $11 million of dividend payments, and $150 million towards the repurchase of an aggregate of 2.8 million shares for an average price per share of $54.74 (including repurchases under the previously announced ASR program). During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1.6 million shares of common stock for $100 million under the ASR program, which fully settled during the quarter. At the end of the second quarter, $400 million remained under the Company’s share repurchase authorization.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release also references “adjusted net earnings,” “adjusted EPS,” “adjusted EBITDA” (including segment adjusted EBITDA), “adjusted EBITDA margin” (including segment adjusted EBITDA margin), “normalized adjusted EBITDA margin” (including segment normalized adjusted EBITDA margin), “free cash flow,” “adjusted effective tax rate,” and “organic revenue growth” (including segment organic revenue growth), which are non-GAAP financial measures.

Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures but should instead be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Ralliant in this earnings release may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

RALLIANT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

AND OTHER INFORMATION

This earnings release includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP below. Management believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures described below provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of the operations of Ralliant Corporation (“Ralliant”, the “Company”, “its”, or “their”), that when reconciled to the corresponding most directly comparable GAAP measure, help its investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of its business, and facilitate comparisons of its operational performance and profitability to prior and future periods and to its peers.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Ralliant does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates for adjusted diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”), adjusted earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) margin (including segment adjusted EBITDA margin), or adjusted effective tax rate on a forward-looking basis because the information necessary to calculate a meaningful or accurate estimation of reconciling items is not available without unreasonable effort. For example, such reconciling items include the impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses, gains or losses that are unusual or nonrecurring in nature, as well as discrete taxable events. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a substantial and unpredictable impact on the Company’s GAAP results.

Adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA (including segment adjusted EBITDA), normalized adjusted EBITDA (including segment normalized adjusted EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA margin (including segment adjusted EBITDA margin), and normalized adjusted EBITDA margin (including segment normalized adjusted EBITDA margin)

Ralliant discloses the non-GAAP measures of historical adjusted net earnings, historical adjusted diluted EPS, historical adjusted EBITDA (including historical segment adjusted EBITDA), and historical adjusted EBITDA margin (including historical segment adjusted EBITDA margin) which to the extent applicable, makes the following adjustments to the most comparable GAAP measures:

• Excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition related intangible assets;

• Excluding on a pretax basis acquisition and divestiture related adjustments and costs;

• Excluding on a pretax basis the costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different from ongoing productivity improvements in terms of the size, strategic nature, planning requirements and the inconsistent frequency of such plans as well as the associated macroeconomic drivers which underlie such plans (the “discrete restructuring charges”);

• Excluding on a pretax basis Fortive Corporate Allocations in the second quarter of 2025.

In addition, with respect to the non-GAAP measures of historical adjusted net earnings and historical adjusted diluted net earnings per share, Ralliant makes the following adjustments to GAAP net earnings and GAAP diluted net earnings per share:

• Excluding the tax effect (to the extent tax deductible) of the pretax adjustments noted above. The tax effect of such adjustments was calculated by applying the overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount of each adjustment (unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment). The Company expects to apply the overall estimated effective tax rate to each adjustment going forward.

Normalized adjusted EBITDA (including segment normalized adjusted EBITDA) for the second quarter of 2025 refers to adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to reflect additional standalone public company costs on a full year basis in order to improve comparability, as results in periods prior to and shortly following the separation from Fortive were impacted by separation-related factors.

Normalized adjusted EBITDA margin (including segment normalized adjusted EBITDA margin) for the second quarter of 2025 refers to normalized adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of GAAP revenue.

Amortization of Acquisition Related Intangible Assets

As a result of Ralliant’s acquisition activity, there was significant amortization expense associated with definite-lived intangible assets. The Company excludes the amortization expense of acquisition related intangible assets incurred in each period, and impairment charges incurred, if any. Management believes that this adjustment provides investors with additional insight into the Company’s operational performance and profitability as such impacts are not related to its organic business performance.

Acquisition and Divestiture Related Adjustments and Costs

While Ralliant has a history of acquisition and divestiture activity, the Company does not acquire and divest businesses or assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to inventory fair value adjustments are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. In addition, transaction costs, which include acquisition, divestiture, integration, and restructuring costs related to completed or announced transactions, and the non-recurring gains on divestitures of businesses or assets are unique to each transaction and are impacted from period to period depending on the number of acquisitions or divestitures evaluated, pending, or completed during such period, and the complexity of such transactions. The Company adjusts for transaction costs, acquisition related fair value adjustments to inventory, integration costs, and corresponding restructuring charges related to acquisitions, in each case, incurred in a given period.

Discrete Restructuring Charges

Ralliant excludes costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans originating from significant macroeconomic trends or material disruptions to operations, economy, or capital markets from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Ralliant Business System or from execution of general cost saving strategies. Because these restructuring plans will be incremental to the fundamental activities that arise in the ordinary course of business and management believes are not indicative of ongoing operating costs in a given period, the Company excludes these costs to facilitate a more consistent comparison of operating results over time. Restructuring costs related primarily to an acquisition are not included in this adjustment but are instead included in acquisition and divestiture related items.

Fortive Corporate Allocations

Prior to the separation from Fortive, Ralliant was allocated corporate costs to each of its segments as part of Fortive’s corporate cost allocation process. During the second quarter, Ralliant incurred incremental costs with the establishment of a separate corporate function, primarily related to employee compensation and IT system costs, as well as incremental standalone public company costs such as corporate governance costs, including audit and other professional services fees, consulting and legal fees, and stock exchange listing fees. The Ralliant corporate costs are primarily allocated to each of its segments, while the incremental standalone public company costs are reported as unallocated corporate costs. The Fortive corporate cost allocations are duplicative with the Ralliant corporate costs allocated to its segments and were therefore considered to be a non-GAAP adjustment in the second quarter of 2025.

Organic Revenue Growth

Ralliant uses the term “organic revenue growth” (including segment organic revenue growth) when referring to a corresponding year-over-year GAAP revenue measure, excluding (1) the impact from acquired or divested businesses and (2) the impact of foreign currency translation. The portion of sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refers to sales from acquisitions or acquired businesses prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition date less the amount of sales attributable to certain businesses or product lines that, at the time of reporting, have been divested or are pending divestiture but are not, and will not be, considered discontinued operations prior to the first anniversary of the divestiture. The portion of sales attributable to the impact of foreign currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.

Management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in the Company’s business and facilitating comparisons of its revenue performance with prior and future periods and to the Company’s peers. The Company excludes the effect of acquisition and divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between the Company and its peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from organic revenue growth because the impact of currency translation is not under management’s control and is subject to volatility.

Free Cash Flow

Ralliant uses the term “free cash flow” when referring to net cash provided by operating activities calculated according to GAAP less payments for capital expenditures.

Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors in assessing the Company’s ability to generate cash without external financing, fund acquisitions and other investments and, in the absence of refinancing, repay its debt obligations. However, it should be noted that free cash flow as a liquidity measure has material limitations because it excludes certain expenditures that are required or that the Company has committed to, such as debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures.
