[10-Q] ESAB Corporation Quarterly Earnings Report

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Upstart Holdings (UPST) filed a Form 10-Q/A to correct diluted Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS. Q2-25 adjusted diluted EPS is restated to $0.40 (was $0.36) and 1H-25 to $0.70 (was $0.62). No other figures change.

Underlying results remain strong: Q2-25 revenue rose 102% YoY to $257.3 M, driven by platform/referral fees (+106% to $202.8 M). Net income swung to a $5.6 M profit from a $54.5 M loss in Q2-24; 1H-25 net income was $3.2 M versus a $119.1 M loss a year earlier. Operating margin turned positive at 1.8%.

Balance-sheet highlights (6/30/25 vs. 12/31/24):

• Cash & equivalents fell to $395.9 M from $788.4 M, offset by restricted cash rising to $305.5 M.
• Loans held at fair value grew 26% to $1.02 B.
• Borrowings edged up to $1.43 B.
• Stockholders’ equity increased 14% to $722.0 M.

Cash flow softened: 1H-25 operating cash outflow of $133.6 M vs. $117.9 M inflow in 1H-24, largely from funding and holding more loans. Total assets tied to consolidated VIEs expanded to $976.2 M (+20%).

The amendment notes no subsequent-event updates; only the EPS reconciliation tables and related MD&A text are revised. Core GAAP earnings, revenue, and balance-sheet figures remain unchanged.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Upstart corrects adjusted EPS upward; YoY revenue doubles and GAAP profit returns, but liquidity pressure rises.

The EPS restatement is modest (+$0.04 QTD, +$0.08 YTD) yet directionally positive, signalling stronger operating leverage than first reported. Revenue growth above 100% confirms loan-volume recovery and validates the AI-driven platform after a weak 2023. GAAP profitability and a 14% equity build enhance investor sentiment. However, cash burn of $275 M YTD (cash + restricted) plus a halved unrestricted cash balance heighten funding risk, especially with $1.43 B of warehouse and securitization debt. The concentration of assets in VIEs (39% of total) underlines dependence on structured finance markets. Overall impact: positive for earnings momentum, but neutral to slightly negative for risk profile.

Risk Analyst

TL;DR: Higher EPS is welcome, yet rising leverage, cash depletion, and complex VIE exposure temper optimism.

While the amendment itself is non-material, it exposes sensitivity to disclosure accuracy. Liquidity is the main watch-point: unrestricted cash covers only ~3 months of recent operating outflows, and restricted cash cannot fund corporate needs. Borrowings grew despite securitization note pay-downs, keeping gross leverage at 0.58× assets. Consolidated VIE net assets ($717 M) could be volatile under credit stress, and fair-value marks remain a large earnings swing factor (-$27 M YTD). Investors should track warehouse capacity, credit performance of held loans, and any need for external capital.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Founded in 1904, ESAB Corporation (“ESAB” or the “Company”) is a focused premier industrial compounder. ESAB provides its partners with fabrication technology advanced equipment, consumables, gas control equipment, robotics and digital solutions. The Company’s rich history of innovative products, workflow solutions and its business management system, ESAB Business Excellence (“EBX”), enables the Company’s purpose of Shaping the world we imagineTM. The Company’s products are utilized to solve challenges in a wide range of industries, including cutting, joining and automated welding and gas control. The Company conducts its operations through two reportable segments. These segments consist of the “Americas,” which includes operations in North America and South America, and “EMEA & APAC,” which includes Europe, Middle East, India, Africa and Asia Pacific.

The Company’s fiscal year ends December 31. The Company’s second quarter ends on the last business day of the 13th complete week after the end of the prior quarter. As used herein, the second quarter results for 2025 and 2024 refer to the 13-week periods ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024, respectively.

Russia and Ukraine Conflict

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions imposed in response have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. While ESAB continues to closely monitor the situation and evaluate options, the Company is meeting current contractual obligations while addressing applicable laws and regulations. For the three and six months ended July 4, 2025, Russia represented approximately 5% of the Company’s total revenue and approximately $3 million and $7 million of its Net income, respectively. Russia also has approximately 5% of the Company’s total net assets as of July 4, 2025, including approximately $48 million of Cash and cash equivalents that may be subject to delays in withdrawing from Russia, based upon the current environment at that time. In case of the disposition of the Russia business, a portion of goodwill would need to be allocated and disposed of at the relative fair value attributable to the Russia business. Russia has a cumulative translation loss of approximately $110 million as of July 4, 2025, which would be realized upon a transition out. The Company is closely monitoring developments in Ukraine and Russia. Changes in laws and regulations or other factors impacting the Company’s ability to fulfill contractual obligations could have an adverse effect on the results of operations and cash flows.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation. Certain line items on our Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

In the normal course of business, the Company incurs research and development costs related to new product development, which are expensed as incurred and included in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Company’s Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations. Research and development costs were $10.5 million and $20.6 million during the three and six months ended July 4, 2025, respectively, and $9.7 million and $19.8 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2024, respectively. These amounts do not include development and application engineering costs incurred in conjunction with fulfilling customer orders and executing customer projects, nor do they include costs related to securing third party product rights. The Company expects to continue making significant expenditures for research and development to maintain and improve its competitive positions.

The accompanying interim Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025.

2. Discontinued Operations

The Company holds certain asbestos-related contingencies and insurance coverages from divested businesses for which it does not have an interest in the ongoing operations. The Company has classified asbestos-related activity included in its Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations as part of Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes. This activity consists primarily of expected settlements, legal and administrative expenses associated with the above liabilities. Discontinued operations consist primarily of Selling, general and administrative expense, with an associated tax impact that is considered immaterial. See Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information.

Cash used in operating activities related to discontinued operations was $4.9 million and $7.2 million for the three and six months ended July 4, 2025, respectively, and $4.8 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2024, respectively.

3. Acquisitions

The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit with our existing portfolio or expand our portfolio into a new and attractive business area. The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon our understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains this information during due diligence and through other sources. As the Company obtains additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and learns more about the newly acquired business, the Company is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. The Company makes appropriate adjustments to purchase price allocations prior to completion of the applicable measurement period, as required.

The following describes our acquisition activity for the six months ended July 4, 2025.

On April 30, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Bavaria Schweisstechnik, a European provider of submerged-arc welding applications, for approximately $68 million, net of cash received. The Company recognized intangible assets and goodwill of approximately $26 million and $40 million, respectively.

On May 5, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Aktiv Technologies Private Limited, a family-owned gas equipment manufacturer based in India, for approximately $29 million of cash consideration. This acquisition was subsequently completed on July 9, 2025.

On June 4, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of DeltaP, a European provider of comprehensive medical central gas systems and aftermarket services, for approximately $16 million, net of cash received.

On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire EWM GmbH (“EWM”), a global leader in heavy industrial welding equipment and advanced automation, for approximately $324 million of cash consideration. 2025 EWM projected annual revenue is approximately $141 million.

For a description of the Company’s acquisition activity for the year ended December 31, 2024, reference is made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Note 5, “Acquisitions” thereto in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report.

4. Revenue

The Company provides fabrication technology advanced equipment, consumables, gas control equipment, robotics and digital solutions. Substantially all revenue is recognized at a point in time. The Company disaggregates its revenue into the following product groups:

			Three Months Ended												Six Months Ended
			July 4, 2025						June 28, 2024						July 4, 2025						June 28, 2024
Equipment			$	231,939					$	231,659					$	464,427					$	446,518

(Unaudited)

The sales mix in the above table is relatively consistent across both reportable segments. The consumables product grouping generally has less production complexity and shorter production cycles than equipment products.

Given the nature of the business, the total amount of unsatisfied performance obligations with an original contract duration of greater than one year as of July 4, 2025 is immaterial. In some circumstances, customers are billed in advance of revenue recognition, resulting in contract liabilities. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total contract liabilities were $26.4 million and $31.2 million, respectively, and were included in Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets. During the three and six months ended July 4, 2025, revenue recognized that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was $3.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2024, revenue recognized that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was $5.1 million and $21.3 million, respectively. As of July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024, total contract liabilities were $25.1 million and $27.9 million, respectively.

6. Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended July 4, 2025, Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $88.1 million and $181.2 million, respectively, while Income tax expense was $18.3 million and $38.8 million, respectively.

The effective tax rate differed from the 2025 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the mix of income outside of the U.S. taxed at different statutory tax rates.

During the three and six months ended June 28, 2024, Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $103.4 million and $184.8 million, respectively, while Income tax expense was $17.9 million and $36.4 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 17.3% and 19.7% for the three and six months ended June 28, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate differed from the 2024 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a favorable final ruling in a tax case in a foreign jurisdiction.

Senior Notes, Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility

On April 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended and restated from time-to-time, the “Credit Agreement”) that initially consisted of a $750 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with a maturity date of April 4, 2027, a Term A-1 loan with an initial aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “Term Loan A-1 Facility”), with a maturity date of April 4, 2027; and a $600 million 364-day senior term loan facility (the “Term Loan A-2 Facility”) with a maturity date of April 3, 2023. The Revolving Facility contains a $300 million foreign currency sublimit and a $50 million swing line loan sub-facility.

On June 28, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement by entering into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement Amendment”). The Credit Agreement Amendment provides for a $600 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan A-3 Facility,” collectively the “Term Facilities” with Term A-1 Facility and Term A-2 Facility) with a maturity date of April 3, 2025 to refinance the Company’s existing Term Loan A-2 Facility. Also on June 28, 2022, the Company borrowed the entire $600 million under Term Loan A-3 Facility to fund the repayment of the Term Loan A-2 Facility.

On April 9, 2024, the Company issued $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) governed by an indenture (the “Indenture”). The Company used the net proceeds from the Senior Notes to pay off its Term Loan A-3 Facility and pay fees associated with the offering.

As of July 4, 2025, the Company’s debt primarily consisted of the following facilities:

•A $750 million Revolving Facility with a maturity date of April 4, 2027, with zero dollars drawn;

•A Term Loan A-1 Facility with an aggregate principal amount of $380 million and a maturity date of April 4, 2027; and

•Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $700 million and a maturity date of April 15, 2029.

The Credit Agreement and the Indenture contain customary covenants. These covenants limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, make investments or pay dividends. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintains certain financial covenants and the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of July 4, 2025. The Credit Agreement and the Indenture contain various events of default (including failure to comply with the covenants under the Credit Agreement and related agreements) and upon an event of default the lenders may, subject to various customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Term A-1 Facility, Senior Notes and the Revolving Facility. Certain United States subsidiaries of the Company have agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes.

Loans made under the Term A-1 Facility will bear interest, at the election of the Company, at either the base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or at the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an adjustment (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case, plus the applicable interest rate margin. Loans made under the Revolving Facility will bear interest, at the election of the Company, at either the base rate or, (i) in the case of loans denominated in dollars, the term SOFR plus an adjustment or the daily simple SOFR plus an adjustment, (ii) in the case of loans denominated in euros, the adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) rate and, (iii) in the case of loans denominated in sterling, Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) plus an adjustment (as all such rates are defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment), in each case, plus the applicable interest rate margin. The applicable interest rate margin changes based upon the Company’s total leverage ratio (consolidated total debt divided by EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement and ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% or in the case of the base rate margin, 0.125% to 0.750%). Each swing line loan denominated in dollars will bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin.

To manage exposures to currency exchange rates and interest rates arising in Long-term debt, the Company entered into interest rate and cross-currency swap agreements. Refer to Note 11, “Derivatives” for additional information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(Unaudited)

As of July 4, 2025, the weighted-average interest rate of borrowings under the Credit Agreement and Indenture was 5.52%, including the net impact from the cross-currency swaps and excluding accretion of deferred financing fees, and there was $750 million of borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Facility, subject to the Company meeting financial covenants and other requirements.

Other Indebtedness

In addition to the debt agreements discussed above, the Company also has the ability to incur approximately $50 million of indebtedness pursuant to certain uncommitted credit lines, consisting of an uncommitted credit line that the Company has used from time to time in the past for short-term working capital needs.

The Company is party to letter of credit facilities with an aggregate capacity of $110.0 million. Total letters of credit of $28.5 million were outstanding as of July 4, 2025.

Deferred Financing Fees

The Company had total deferred financing fees of $8.6 million included in its Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets as of July 4, 2025, which will be charged to Interest expense and other, net, over the term of the related debt instruments. The costs associated with the Term Facilities and Senior Notes noted above will be amortized over the contractual term of the related facility and the costs associated with these will be amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement or the Indenture. Of the $8.6 million, $0.5 million of deferred financing fees relating to the Revolving Facility are included in Other assets and $8.1 million of deferred financing fees relating to the Term Facilities and Senior Notes are recorded as a contra-liability within Long-term debt.

11. Derivatives

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to currency exchange rates and interest rates arising in connection with long-term debt and the normal course of business. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the risk management of these exposures. Both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are assessed as to their effectiveness, when applicable.

The Company is subject to the credit risk of counterparties to derivative instruments. Counterparties include a number of major banks and financial institutions. None of the concentrations of risk with an individual counterparty was considered significant as of July 4, 2025. The Company does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The Company records derivatives in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value.

Cash Flow Hedges

On July 14, 2022, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $600 million and they were set to mature in April 2025. These interest rate swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate of 3.293%, plus a spread, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense. The applicable spread may vary between 1.125% to 1.750%, depending on the total leverage ratio of the Company.

In March 2024, the Company settled one of the interest rate swaps associated with the Company’s floating-rate debt and received $5.5 million in connection with that settlement. The termination of the interest rate swap was related to the repayment of the Term A-3 Facility in April 2024. Refer to Note 10, “Debt” for further information. As this interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge, $5.5 million was deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and was recognized in earnings over the period the originally forecasted hedged transaction impacted earnings. The remaining $300 million swap was hedged against the remaining floating-rate debt through its maturity on April 3, 2025. Therefore, the Company does not have any interest rate swaps outstanding as of July 4, 2025.

The cash inflows and outflows associated with the Company’s interest rate swap agreement designated as cash flow hedges were classified in cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

Net Investment Hedges

On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into two cross-currency swap agreements, set to mature in April 2025, to partially hedge its net investment in its Euro-denominated subsidiaries against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Euro. The cross-currency swap agreements included provisions to exchange fixed-rate payments in U.S. Dollar for fixed-rate payments in Euro and were designated and qualified as a net investment hedge. These contracts had a Euro aggregate notional amount of approximately €270 million and a U.S. Dollar aggregate notional amount of $275 million.

Prior to the maturity of these two cross-currency swaps, on June 25, 2024, the Company de-designated these swaps and entered into four new cross-currency swaps for the same above notional amounts that mature in October 2026.

On August 22, 2024, the Company entered into two additional cross-currency swap agreements, set to mature in October 2026. These contracts have a Euro aggregate notional amount of approximately €90 million and a U.S. dollar aggregate notional amount of $100 million. These swaps are designated and accounted for as a net investment hedge.

The changes in the spot rate of these instruments are recorded in AOCI in equity, partially offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s related net investment that is also recorded in AOCI. The Company uses the spot method of assessing hedge effectiveness and as such, the initial value of the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in the Interest expense and other, net line item in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations under a systematic and rational method over the life of the cross-currency swap agreements. Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are reclassified from AOCI into earnings during the period of change. Due to the de-designation transaction above on June 25, 2024, the Company will keep the balance in AOCI related to the original derivative for the duration that the investment is held. The Company did not have any ineffectiveness related to net investment hedges during the six months ended July 4, 2025.

The cash inflows and outflows associated with the excluded components of the Company’s cross-currency swap agreements designated as net investment hedges are classified in operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

The effects of the excluded components of designated net investment hedges on the Company’s Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations consisted of the following:

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company has certain foreign currency contracts that are not designated as hedges. As of July 4, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had foreign currency contracts related to purchases and sales with notional values of $203.7 million and $178.7 million, respectively.

The table below shows the fair value of derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship recognized in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets:

						July 4, 2025												December 31, 2024
Not Designated as Hedging Instruments						Accrued Liabilities						Other Current Assets						Accrued Liabilities						Other Current Assets
						(In thousands)
Foreign currency contracts						$	1,474					$	2,636					$	379					$	255

The amounts in the table above as of July 4, 2025 reflect the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts on a net basis where allowable under master netting agreements. Had these amounts been recognized on a gross basis, the impact would have been a $0.8 million increase in Other current assets with a corresponding increase in Accrued liabilities.

The Company recognized the following in its Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements related to its derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship:

						Three Months Ended												Six Months Ended
Foreign Currency Contracts						July 4, 2025						June 28, 2024						July 4, 2025						June 28, 2024

Change in unrealized gains						$	2,578					$	678					$	1,285					$	629
Realized gains						142						2,542						1,590						378

The above gains or losses on foreign currency contracts are usually offset by foreign exchange exposure on cash and intercompany positions, all of which are recognized in Interest expense and other, net, in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations.

12. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of financial instruments, including Trade receivables and Accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Asbestos Contingencies

Certain entities are the legal obligor, or owner, for certain asbestos obligations including long-term asbestos insurance assets, long-term asbestos insurance receivables, accrued asbestos liabilities, long-term asbestos liabilities, asbestos indemnity expenses, asbestos-related defense costs and asbestos insurance recoveries related to the asbestos obligations of the Company’s legacy industrial businesses. As a result, the Company holds certain asbestos-related contingencies and insurance coverages.

These subsidiaries are each one of many defendants in a large number of lawsuits that claim personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos from products manufactured or used with components that are alleged to have contained asbestos. Such components were acquired from third-party suppliers, and were not manufactured by any of the Company’s subsidiaries, nor were the subsidiaries producers or direct suppliers of asbestos. The manufactured products that are alleged to have contained or used asbestos generally were provided to meet the specifications of the subsidiaries’ customers, including the U.S. Navy. The subsidiaries settle asbestos claims for amounts the Company considers reasonable given the facts and circumstances of each claim. The annual average settlement payment per asbestos claimant has fluctuated during the past several years while the number of cases has remained substantially even versus prior year. The Company expects such settlement value fluctuations to continue in the future based upon, among other things, the number and type of claims settled in a particular period and the jurisdictions in which such claims arise. To date, the majority of settled claims have been dismissed for no payment to plaintiffs.

The Company has classified asbestos-related activity in Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations. Refer to the 2024 Form 10-K for further detail on this classification.

The Company has projected each subsidiary’s future asbestos-related liability costs with regard to pending and future unasserted claims based upon the Nicholson methodology. The Nicholson methodology is a standard approach used by experts and has been accepted by numerous courts. It is ESAB’s policy to record a liability for asbestos-related liability costs for the longest period of time that ESAB management can reasonably estimate.

The Company believes that it can reasonably estimate the asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims that will be resolved in the next 15 years and has recorded that liability at its best estimate. While it is reasonably possible that the subsidiaries will incur costs after this period, the Company does not believe the reasonably possible loss or a range of reasonably possible losses is estimable at the current time. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded for any costs that may be paid after the next 15 years. Defense costs associated with asbestos-related liabilities as well as costs incurred related to efforts to recover insurance from the subsidiaries’ insurers are expensed as incurred.

Each subsidiary has separate insurance coverage that was acquired prior to Company ownership. The Company estimates the insurance assets for each subsidiary based upon the applicable policy language, expected recoveries and allocation methodologies, and law pertaining to the affected subsidiary’s insurance policies.

Asbestos-related claims activity since December 31 is as follows:

			Six Months Ended
			July 4, 2025						June 28, 2024
			(Number of claims)
Claims unresolved, beginning of period			13,758						13,648
Claims filed(1)			2,529						2,517
Claims resolved(2)			(1,467)						(1,447)
Claims unresolved, end of period			14,820						14,718

(1) Claims filed include all asbestos claims for which notification has been received or a file has been opened.

(2) Claims resolved include all asbestos claims that have been settled, dismissed or that are in the process of being settled or dismissed based upon agreements or understandings in place with counsel for the claimants.

Projecting future events, such as new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolving each claim, coverage issues among layers of insurers, the method in which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies, interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships, the continuing solvency of various insurance companies, the amount of remaining insurance available, as well as the numerous uncertainties inherent in asbestos litigation could cause the actual liabilities and insurance recoveries to be higher or lower than those projected or recorded that could materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. From time to time, other asbestos allegations related to the Company’s legacy industrial businesses are brought against the Company. Management currently believes no loss is probable or estimable for these other matters.

General Litigation

The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of the Company’s business. None of these legal proceedings is expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company. With respect to these proceedings, and the litigation and claims described in the preceding paragraphs, management of the Company believes that it will either prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate accruals to cover potential liabilities. Legal costs related to proceedings or claims are recorded when incurred. Other costs that management estimates may be paid related to the claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adverse to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.

15. Segment Information

ESAB is a focused premier industrial compounder. ESAB provides its partners with fabrication technology advanced equipment, consumables, gas control equipment, welding robotics and digital solutions.

Overview

Please see Part I. Item 1. “Business” in our 2024 Form 10-K, for a discussion of ESAB’s objectives and methodologies for delivering stockholder value.

We are a focused premier industrial compounder. Our rich history of innovative products, workflow solutions and our business system, ESAB Business Excellence (“EBX”), enables our purpose of Shaping the world we imagineTM. We conduct our operations through two reportable segments. These segments consist of the “Americas,” which includes operations in North America and South America, and “EMEA & APAC,” which includes Europe, Middle East, India, Africa and Asia Pacific. We serve a global customer base across multiple markets through a combination of direct sales and third-party distribution channels. Our customer base is highly diversified in the industrial end markets.

Outlook

We believe that we are well positioned to grow our businesses organically over the long term by enhancing our product offerings and expanding our customer base. We believe our business mix is well balanced between sales in high growth and developed markets, and equipment and consumables. We believe that our geographic and end market diversity helps mitigate the effects from cyclical industrial market exposures. Given this balance, management does not use indices other than general economic trends and business initiatives to predict the overall outlook for the Company. Instead, our individual businesses monitor key competitors and customers, including to the extent possible their sales, to gauge relative performance and outlook for the future.

We expect strategic acquisitions to contribute to our growth. We believe that our extensive experience of acquiring and effectively integrating acquisition targets should enable us to capitalize on future opportunities. We believe our recent acquisitions are aligned with this strategic direction. Refer to Note 3, “Acquisitions” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Because our products and services are available worldwide, we rely on a global supply chain to source raw materials, parts and components. The majority of our sales are derived from international operations and, as such, we are subject to specific risks associated with changes in the United States policy regarding international trade and other retaliatory trade measures that the United States and foreign governments may take, including the imposition of tariffs, sanctions, export or import controls and other measures that restrict international trade. The United States has announced significant new tariffs on imports from a wide range of countries, including China, which was followed by retaliatory tariffs by China and a number of countries and a cycle of further retaliatory announcements and trade actions. While certain of the tariffs have been and may be delayed, others have taken or may take effect. Further, tariffs announced or imposed by the United States could be altered or delayed through presidential action, bilateral negotiations, judicial orders or congressional actions, and tariffs announced by other countries can be affected by similar developments. These and future changes in tariffs and trade policies have resulted and could result in additional costs and pricing pressures, supply chain disruptions, volatile or unpredictable customer spending patterns and increased economic or geopolitical risks, any or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, perhaps materially or in ways that we cannot predict.

We are actively monitoring and evaluating these developments and the potential impacts of trade policy and tariffs on our business, supply chain and results of operations. We maintain operations worldwide, including in the jurisdictions impacted by the recently announced and contemplated tariffs. If tariffs continue to be maintained at current levels, and/or the United States government or foreign governments impose further retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictive measures in response, then in addition to the efforts reflected in the discussion that follows, we expect that such actions could negatively impact our revenue growth and margins in future periods through increased supply chain costs, decreased demand and other adverse economic

25

impacts. The net effect of these actions on our company will depend on our ability to successfully mitigate and offset their impact, which efforts may not be effective. If we are unable to mitigate these risks through supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies or other measures, our business could be negatively affected and produce additional impacts. Please refer to Part I. Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K and in Part II. Item 1A in our 2025 Q1 Form 10-Q for additional information. The full impact of the matters noted above on the Company, our customers and suppliers, the overall economy and capital markets remains uncertain.

The discussion that follows includes a comparison of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for the three and six months ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our Results of Operations addresses the comparison of the periods presented. Our management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon Net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA as defined in the “Non-GAAP Measures” section.

Items Affecting Comparability of Reported Results

The comparability of our operating results for the three and six months ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024 is affected by the following significant factors:

Russia and Ukraine Conflict

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions and other actions taken by governments in response to this crisis have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. Refer to Note 1, “Organization and Basis of Presentation” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as well as Part I. Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” section of the 2024 Form 10-K, as updated by our 2025 Q1 Form 10-Q, for additional information.

Tariffs

The Company continues to actively monitor the changes in United States policy regarding international trade, including the recent progress in reaching or progressing international trade agreements with major counterparties. As reflected in the discussions that follow, the United States policy regarding international trade and actions taken in response to it have had a variety of impacts on our results of operations during 2025, including decreased sales levels and increased raw material costs.

For additional information on the risks of United States policy regarding international trade to the Company’s operations, refer to the “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” section in our 2025 Q1 Form 10-Q.

Acquisitions

We complement our organic growth with acquisitions and other investments. Acquisitions can affect our reported results, and we report the change in our Net sales between periods both from existing and acquired businesses. The change in Net sales due to acquisitions for the periods presented in this filing represents the incremental sales as a result of acquisitions.

For additional information on our acquisitions, refer to Note 3, “Acquisitions” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

A significant portion of our Net sales, 80% and 79% for the three and six months ended July 4, 2025, respectively, are outside the United States, with the majority of those sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Because much of our manufacturing and employee costs are outside the United States, a significant portion of our costs are also denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Changes in foreign exchange rates can impact our results of operations and are quantified when significant.

26

For the three months ended July 4, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 28, 2024, fluctuations in foreign currencies increased Net sales by 0.5% and Gross profit by 0.6% and Selling, general and administrative expenses by 1.1%.

For the six months ended July 4, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 28, 2024, fluctuations in foreign currencies reduced Net sales by 1.6% and Gross profit by 1.1% and Selling, general and administrative expenses by 0.9%.

Seasonality

Our European operations typically experience a slowdown during the July and August vacation seasons.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we include in this Form 10-Q because it is a key metric used by our management to assess our operating performance. ESAB presents this non-GAAP financial measure including and excluding Russia due to economic and political volatility caused by the Russia and Ukraine conflict, which we believe results in enhanced investor interest in these alternative presentations. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from Net income from continuing operations the effect of Income tax expense, Interest expense and other, net, Pension settlement loss, Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition due diligence and transaction expenses, amortization of intangibles and fair value charges on acquired inventories and depreciation and other amortization. We also present Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITDA. Further, we present these non-GAAP performance measures on a segment basis subject to the same adjustments described above. We also present Core adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA margin, which are subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, respectively, and which removes the impact of Russia for the three and six months ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA assist management in comparing our 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 our ongoing productivity and core business. Management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our 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 the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Net income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Core adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA margin by segment for the three and six months ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024.

(2) Excludes the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, thus providing a measure of change due to organic growth factors such as price, product mix and volume.

(3) Represents the incremental sales in comparison to the portion of the prior period during which we did not own the business.

(4) Represents the difference between prior year sales valued at the actual prior year foreign exchange rates and prior year sales valued at current year foreign exchange rates.

Net sales from existing businesses decreased by $15.6 million during the three months ended July 4, 2025, compared to the prior year period. Volume declined by $23.2 million, primarily due to reduced customer demand in the Americas due to tariff uncertainty impacting our Mexico business and delayed automation purchases across North America and lower volumes in Russia. This was partially offset by strong growth in the EMEA and APAC markets and $7.6 million in price increases. The increase in net sales from acquisitions was attributable to ESAB Bangladesh Private Limited (“ESAB Bangladesh”), SUMIG Soluções para Solda e Corte Ltda. (“SUMIG”), Bavaria Schweisstechnik (“Bavaria”) and DeltaP. The changes in foreign exchange rates caused a $3.2 million favorable currency translation impact.

Net sales from existing businesses decreased by $16.7 million during the six months ended July 4, 2025, compared to the prior year period, due to a $30.3 million decrease in sales volume due to drivers such as tariffs in the Americas partially offset by customer pricing increases of $13.6 million. The increase in net sales from acquisitions was attributable to Sager S.A., ESAB Bangladesh, SUMIG, Bavaria and DeltaP. The changes in foreign exchange rates caused a $22.1 million unfavorable currency translation impact.

Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024

Gross profit decreased by $4.3 million and related margin decreased 100 basis points in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily attributable to decreases in sales volume in the Americas segment and higher tariff-related material costs partially offset by accretion from acquisitions, favorable foreign currency impact and price increases. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to increases from acquisitions and related transaction costs and unfavorable foreign currency impact partially offset by benefits from EBX driven savings. The effective tax rate of 20.8% for the quarter ended July 4, 2025 differed from the effective tax rate of 17.3% for the same period ended June 28, 2024 due to a favorable final ruling in a tax case in a foreign jurisdiction in 2024.

On July 4, 2025, the reconciliation bill, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was signed into law. The OBBBA provisions include immediate deduction of domestic Research and Development (R&D) expenditures, reinstatement of 100% first-year bonus depreciation, permanent extension of most expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, and international tax changes. The Company does not currently expect the impact of the OBBBA to be material to 2025.

Net income from continuing operations decreased $15.7 million primarily due to the aforementioned factors as well as higher Interest expense and other, net mainly driven by the interest rate on our borrowings being higher than the prior year period. For additional information on the Interest expense and other, net impact, refer to Note 10, “Debt” and Note 11, “Derivatives” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.5 million

and related margin expanded 20 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year. Core adjusted EBITDA increased $4.5 million and related margin expanded by 30 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year.

Six Months Ended July 4, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 28, 2024

Gross profit decreased $4.1 million and related margin decreased by 20 basis points in the six months ended July 4, 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily attributable to higher material costs and decrease in sales volume partially offset by accretion from acquisitions and price increases. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.8 million in the six months ended July 4, 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to increases from acquisitions and related transaction costs partially offset by benefits from EBX driven savings and gains on the disposition of properties. The effective tax rate of 21.4% for the six months ended July 4, 2025 differed from the effective tax rate of 19.7% for the same period ending June 28, 2024 due to discrete tax adjustments in 2024 for a favorable final ruling in a tax case in a foreign jurisdiction. Refer to above for further information on the anticipated OBBBA impact on the tax rate and related expense.

Net income from continuing operations decreased $6.0 million in the six months ended July 4, 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the aforementioned factors as well as higher Interest expense and other, net largely driven by the interest rate on our borrowings being higher than the prior year period partially offset by the $12.2 million non-cash pension settlement loss in 2024. For additional information on the Interest expense and other, net impact, refer to Note 10, “Debt” and Note 11, “Derivatives” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 60 basis points in the six months ended July 4, 2025 compared to the prior year period due to the aforementioned factors. Core adjusted EBITDA increased by $9.1 million and Core adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 60 basis points.

Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024

Net sales in our EMEA & APAC segment increased $35.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the prior year period. This was primarily due to an increase in Net sales from existing business in Core markets of $15.5 million primarily resulting from increases in sales volume in high-growth markets, a $12.7 million increase related to the acquisition of ESAB Bangladesh, Bavaria and DeltaP and a $16.1 million favorable foreign currency impact; these were partially offset by $8.7 million of lower sales in Russia. Gross profit increased by $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the prior year period primarily due to accretion from acquisitions, increased sales volumes and foreign currency translation impacts partially offset by pricing decreases. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the prior year period largely due to acquisitions and an unfavorable currency translation impact partially offset by a gain on disposition of property. Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.4 million and related margin expanded by 80 basis points and Core adjusted EBITDA increased to $81.7 million and the related margin expanded by 110 basis points in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the prior year period primarily because of the aforementioned factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We expect to finance our working capital requirements through cash flows from operating activities. We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, funding of acquisitions, capital expenditures and restructuring related cash outflows, asbestos-related cash outflows, debt service and required amortization of principal, stock repurchase and, pending approval from the Board of Directors, payment of cash dividends.

As of July 4, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement and the Indenture. The Company’s weighted average interest rate of borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the Indenture was 5.52%, excluding accretion of deferred financing fees. As of the end of the second quarter, we had the capacity for additional indebtedness of up to $750 million available on the Revolving Facility, subject to meeting financial covenants and other requirements. Additionally, we have the ability to incur $50.0 million of indebtedness pursuant to certain uncommitted credit lines, consisting of an uncommitted credit line that we have used from time to time in the past for short-term working capital needs. Refer to Note 10, “Debt” and Note 11, “Derivatives” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for more information related to the Facilities and derivative instruments. We believe that we could raise additional funds in the form of debt or equity if it were determined to be appropriate for strategic acquisitions or other corporate purposes. We believe that our sources of liquidity between debt and cash flows from operating activities are adequate to fund our operations for the next twelve months and thereafter.

Stock Repurchase Program

On August 13, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to five million shares of the Company’s Common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time-to-time on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or as may otherwise be determined by the Company’s management in its discretion. No repurchases of the Company’s Common stock have been made through the six months ended July 4, 2025. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. There is no term associated with the remaining repurchase authorization.

35

Cash Flows

As of July 4, 2025, we had $258.2 million of Cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $8.9 million from the balance of $249.4 million as of December 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the change in Cash and cash equivalents during the periods indicated:

			Six Months Ended
			July 4, 2025						June 28, 2024

Increase in Cash and cash equivalents			$	8.9					$	126.5

(1) Numbers may not sum due to rounding.

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in working capital and the timing of payments for items such as pension funding, asbestos-related costs and restructuring program funding. Changes in significant operating cash flow items are discussed below.

•Operating cash flow for the six months ended July 4, 2025 decreased due to lower operating income and higher working capital requirements, including additional investment in inventory in North America due to uncertainties related to tariffs.

•Discontinued operations for the six months ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024 included outflows of $7.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively, which were primarily asbestos-related.

•Restructuring initiative payments were $5.9 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024, respectively. These payments included severance and other termination benefits, including outplacement services as well as the cost of relocating associates, relocating equipment and other costs in connection with the closure and optimization of facilities and product lines.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended July 4, 2025 primarily comprise approximately $86 million of cash used for the acquisitions of Bavaria and DeltaP and during the six months ended June 28, 2024 included approximately $18 million of cash used for the acquisition of Sager S.A.

Our Cash and cash equivalents as of July 4, 2025 included $241.7 million held in jurisdictions outside the United States. Cash repatriation of non-United States cash into the United States may be subject to withholding taxes, other local statutory restrictions and minority owner distributions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based upon our historical experience, our evaluation of business and macroeconomic trends and information from other outside sources, as appropriate. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what our management anticipates, and different assumptions or estimates about the future could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

There have been no other significant additions or changes to the methods, estimates and judgments included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies” in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We address our exposure to these risks through our normal operating and financing activities. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We entered into certain Term Loans and a Revolving Facility pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 10, “Debt” in the accompanying Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our Facilities. We are exposed to interest rate risk on the variable-rate term loans under these Facilities. A hypothetical increase in interest rates of 1% during the six months ended July 4, 2025 would have increased interest expense by approximately $4 million. To mitigate our interest risk, in July 2022, we entered into two interest rate swaps to hedge approximately $600 million of our floating-rate debt. In April 2024, the Company issued the Senior Notes, the proceeds of which paid off the Term A-3 Facility. As a result, the Company terminated one of these swaps hedging only $300 million of our floating-rate debt. The remaining swap matured during the first quarter in 2025, therefore no remaining interest rate swaps remained as of quarter end. See Note 11, “Derivatives” in our Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Exchange Rate Risk

We have manufacturing sites throughout the world and sell our products globally. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. Dollar and against the currencies of other countries in which we manufacture and sell products and services. During the six months ended July 4, 2025, approximately 79% of our sales were derived from operations outside the United States. We have significant manufacturing operations in European countries that are not part of the Eurozone. Sales are more highly weighted toward the Euro and U.S. Dollar. We also have significant contractual obligations in U.S. Dollars that are met with cash flows in other currencies as well as U.S. Dollars. To better match revenue and expense as well as cash needs from contractual liabilities, we regularly enter into currency swaps and forward contracts.

We also face exchange rate risk from our investments in subsidiaries owned and operated in foreign countries. The effect of a change in currency exchange rates on our net investment in international subsidiaries is reflected in the AOCI component of Equity. A 10% depreciation in major currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar as of July 4, 2025 would result in a reduction in Equity of approximately $201 million. As of July 4, 2025, we have six fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps, which are expected to provide a hedge to a portion of our European net asset position. See Note 11, “Derivatives” in our Notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

We also face exchange rate risk from intercompany transactions between affiliates. Although we use the U.S. Dollar as our functional currency for reporting purposes, we have manufacturing sites throughout the world, and a substantial portion of our costs are incurred and sales are generated in foreign currencies. Costs incurred and sales recorded by subsidiaries operating outside of the United States are translated into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. Dollar. Similarly, tax costs may increase or decrease as local currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. Dollar.

Commodity Price Risk
