Analysis

The stock dropped -10.8% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite generally solid earnings would fit past periods where guidance, cyclical exposure, or segment softness outweighed headline strength. Historical earnings events averaged around ±2.88% moves, with markets reacting sharply when outlook or mix underwhelmed. Weakness following this release could therefore reflect concerns about tariff headwinds, slower segments, or macro risks rather than the quarter’s reported metrics alone.

Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA, non-gaap, organic sales growth, free cash flow, +4 more

8 terms

adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA Of $304.4 Million Versus PY Of $309.5 Million"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

non-gaap financial

"may be considered "non-GAAP" financial measures"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

View in glossary

organic sales growth financial

"Organic sales growth was positive and margins were resilient"

Organic sales growth measures how much a company’s revenue rises from its regular business activity — like selling more products, charging higher prices, or selling to more customers — without counting money from buying other businesses or one-time currency effects. Investors watch it because it shows whether demand and the company’s core operations are genuinely getting stronger, similar to judging a garden by how much the plants you planted yourself are growing rather than by adding bought potted plants.

free cash flow financial

"line of sight to higher margins and free cash flow as the year unfolds"

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

View in glossary

adjusted diluted earnings per share financial

"adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted income from operations"

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is the company’s net profit per share after accounting for potential extra shares (from options or convertible securities) and removing one‑time or unusual items so the number reflects ongoing business results. Think of it like timing a runner’s steady pace after excluding a few unexpected stops; it gives investors a clearer view of sustainable profit available to each share. Investors use it to compare companies and judge underlying profitability and valuation without short‑term distortions.

adjusted operating margin financial

"adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net sales"

Adjusted operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities, after removing unusual or one-time costs and income. It helps investors see the company's true profitability by providing a clearer picture, similar to removing unexpected expenses to understand the regular performance. This metric is useful for comparing companies or tracking performance over time, as it highlights consistent earning power.

net debt financial

"net debt, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA (including synergies)"

Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.

View in glossary

stock appreciation rights financial

"He also holds stock appreciation rights covering 1,392 underlying common shares"

Stock appreciation rights (SARs) are a form of employee compensation that give the holder the right to receive the increase in a company's stock price over a set baseline, paid in cash or shares, without having to buy the stock. For investors, SARs matter because they can create future cash outflows or share dilution and signal how a company rewards and motivates executives — similar to giving a bonus tied directly to how well the company’s stock performs.

1Q Highlights

• Backlog Up 6.7% Sequentially At The Enterprise Level And Up In All Segments
• AMC Orders Up Over 34% Versus PY On Broad-Based Growth, Up 28% Excluding Data Center
• IPS Orders Accelerated In Short Cycle Distribution And OEM, Net Of Headwinds In Long Cycle Projects

• Re-Affirming 2026 Adjusted Earnings Per Share Guidance
• Announced Aamir Paul As Next Chief Executive Officer

CEO Louis Pinkham commented, "Our growth outlook continued to strengthen during the first quarter, with enterprise daily orders up 8.5% versus the prior year. Our AMC segment led the way, with orders up over 34%, aided by growth across all markets, but particularly in aerospace & defense, discrete automation, data center and medical. Our IPS business also saw order acceleration in its distribution business and high single digit growth in its short cycle OEM business, consistent with improving industrial macro metrics, such as the ISM. PES orders were down as expected, but less severely, as residential HVAC markets show tentative signs of normalizing. We also saw continued strength in commercial HVAC, primarily driven by data center demand. While some of the enterprise order strength is tied to improving industrial and automation markets, our growth investments are also paying off, and our cross-sell initiatives continue to contribute nicely."

"Beyond orders, the first quarter evidences solid execution by our teams. Organic sales growth was positive and margins were resilient in the face of headwinds from mix and tariffs. We also continued to make strategic growth investments where we see attractive returns. Adjusted EPS for the quarter was up versus prior year and ahead of our guidance."

"Looking forward, we are optimistic that our strong momentum on orders will continue to result in accelerating organic sales growth. We also have line of sight to higher margins and free cash flow as the year unfolds, aided by stronger volumes, improving mix, achieving margin neutrality on tariffs, and synergies."

Mr. Pinkham concluded, "Reflecting on my tenure as Regal Rexnord's CEO, I am thankful for the opportunity to have led this great organization, and extremely proud of all that our team has accomplished transforming Regal into a higher performing enterprise. I am also extremely excited about Regal Rexnord's future under the leadership of our newly appointed CEO, Aamir Paul. By leveraging his strong commercial orientation, and a long track record driving growth through innovation and a focus on customer needs, I believe Aamir can help our team capitalize on all that we have built to accelerate profitable growth and create tremendous value for all of our key stakeholders."

Segment Performance

Segment results for the first quarter of 2026 versus the same period of the prior year are summarized below:

• Automation & Motion Control net sales were $457.1 million, an increase of 15.3%, or an increase of 12.1% on an organic basis. Growth was broad-based, but with particular strength in the data center and discrete automation markets, as well as signs of recovery in the food & beverage market. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.2% of net sales.
• Industrial Powertrain Solutions net sales were $648.2 million, an increase of 5.8%, or an increase of 2.8% on an organic basis. Growth was broad-based, but with particular strength in the general industrial market. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 25.0% of net sales.
• Power Efficiency Solutions net sales were $373.8 million, a decrease of 8.6%, or a decrease of 10.3% on an organic basis due to expected weakness in the residential HVAC market, which was partially offset by growth in the commercial HVAC markets in North America and Asia Pacific. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.8% of net sales.

Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share Data)

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We also periodically disclose certain financial measures in our quarterly earnings releases, on investor conference calls, and in investor presentations and similar events that may be considered "non-GAAP" financial measures. This additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results of operations prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

In this release, we disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures, and we reconcile these measures in the tables below to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures: adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net sales, adjusted gross margin, net debt, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA (including synergies), interest coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio (including synergies), adjusted EBITDA margin, gross debt/adjusted EBITDA, net debt/adjusted EBITDA, net debt/adjusted EBITDA (including synergies), free cash flow, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, and adjusted effective tax rate. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures for providing investors with additional information regarding our results of operations and for helping investors understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods and compared to our peers. Our management primarily uses adjusted income from operations and adjusted operating margin to help us manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, while the other non-GAAP measures disclosed are primarily used to help us evaluate our business and forecast our future results. Accordingly, we believe disclosing and reconciling each of these measures helps investors evaluate our business in the same manner as management. This release also includes non-GAAP forward-looking information. The Company believes that a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking information to the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure would require the Company to predict the timing and likelihood of future restructurings and other charges. Neither these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure is not provided.

In addition to these non-GAAP measures, we use the term "organic sales growth" to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to organic sales. "Organic sales" refers to GAAP sales from existing operations excluding any sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition and excluding any sales from business divested/to be exited recorded prior to the first anniversary of the exit and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation is determined by translating the respective period's organic sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year periods.
