Paulo Ruiz, Eaton chief executive officer, said, "In the fourth quarter, we continued to convert strong demand into accelerated orders and organic growth. Electrical and Aerospace were standout drivers, contributing to sustained backlog growth and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1."

Our growing and diversified backlog provides us with extended visibility, enabling predictable financial performance and disciplined capital planning. As we enter 2026, we are confident that this momentum positions us to capitalize on the significant opportunities ahead—from digitalization and AI to reindustrialization, infrastructure spending and growth in the aerospace markets—while continuing progress toward our 2030 targets and delivering value for our shareholders."

**NOTES TO THE FOURTH QUARTER 2025 EARNINGS RELEASE**

Amounts are in millions of dollars unless indicated otherwise (per share data assume dilution). Columns and rows may not add and the sum of components may not equal total amounts reported due to rounding.

**Note 1. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION**

This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per ordinary share, and free cash flow, each of which differs from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this earnings release. Management believes that these financial measures are useful to investors because they provide additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our business performance and trends, and they allow investors to more easily compare Eaton Corporation plc's (Eaton or the Company) financial performance period to period. Management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating the on-going performance of Eaton and each business segment.

The Company's first quarter and full year net income per ordinary share and adjusted earnings per ordinary share guidance for 2026 is as follows:
