**EATON CORPORATION plc**

**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Amounts are in millions 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Eaton Corporation plc (Eaton or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods.

This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Eaton's 2025 Form 10-K. The interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date this Form 10-Q was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the first quarter of 2026, Eaton re-segmented certain business segments due to a reorganization of the Company's businesses. The new segment is Mobility, which consists of the legacy Vehicle and eMobility segments. Historical segment information has been recast to reflect this change.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2024-03). This accounting standard requires disaggregated income statement expense disclosures on an annual and interim basis, including inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization for each income statement line item that contains these expenses. The standard also requires disclosure of total selling expenses on an annual and interim basis, and the definition of those expenses disclosed annually. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 and expects the standard will only impact its disclosures with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06). This accounting standard changes when software project costs should be capitalized by removing all references to development stages and requiring costs to be capitalized when (1) the Company authorizes and commits to funding the software project and (2) it is probable the software project will be completed. The standard also requires additional annual and interim disclosures, including the capitalized software balance and accumulated amortization. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted and may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified prospective transition approach. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832) – Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (ASU 2025-10). This accounting standard requires a government grant to be recognized when (1) it is probable the conditions of the grant will be met and (2) the grant will be received. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted and may be applied using a modified prospective approach, modified retrospective approach, or a retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-10 to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

**Note 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURE OF BUSINESSES**

*Acquisition of Fibrebond Corporation*

On April 1, 2025, Eaton acquired Fibrebond Corporation (Fibrebond) for $1.43 billion, net of cash acquired. Fibrebond is a U.S. based designer and builder of pre-integrated modular power enclosures for data center, industrial, utility and communications customers. Fibrebond is reported within the Electrical Americas business segment.

The acquisition of Fibrebond has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. During the measurement period, which ended in March 2026, opening balance sheet adjustments were made to finalize Eaton's fair value estimates based on the final valuations received, which are summarized in the table below. The measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Income.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| (In millions) | Preliminary Allocation | Measurement Period Adjustments | Final Allocation |
| Accounts receivable | $50 | $(6) | $44 |
| Inventory | 96 | 5 | 101 |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 72 | (5) | 67 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 104 | 13 | 117 |
| Other intangible assets | 709 | 6 | 715 |
| Other assets | 3 |  | 3 |
| Accounts payable | (48) |  | (48) |
| Other current liabilities | (106) | 26 | (80) |
| Other noncurrent liabilities | (2) | (23) | (25) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total identifiable net assets | 878 | 16 | 894 |
| Goodwill | 572 | (31) | 541 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total consideration, net of cash received | $1450 | $(15) | $1435 |

---

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the anticipated synergies of acquiring Fibrebond. Goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships, technology, trademarks and backlog intangible assets of $410 million, $171 million, $74 million and $60 million, respectively were determined using either the relief-from-royalty model or the multi-period excess earnings model, which are discounted cash flow models that rely on the Company's estimates. These estimates require judgment of future revenue growth rates, future margins, and the applicable weighted-average cost of capital used to discount those estimated cash flows. The weighted-average cost of capital is an estimate of the overall after-tax rate of return required by equity and debt market holders of a business enterprise. The estimated useful lives for the customer relationships, technology, trademarks and backlog intangible assets were 17 years, 9 years, 17 years and 2 years, respectively. See Note 6 for additional information about goodwill.

As part of the acquisition, Eaton assumed $240 million of employee transaction and retention awards. Awards vest in six equal annual installments starting in the second quarter of 2025, subject to continued employment with Eaton. Forfeited employee awards are paid to former Fibrebond shareholders annually. Eaton recognizes compensation expense for the awards over the requisite service period and any employee forfeitures owed to former Fibrebond shareholders are expensed immediately in Other income - net. During the first quarter of 2026, compensation expense of $10 million, $3 million and $1 million were included in Costs of products sold, Selling and administrative expense, and Other income - net, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

*Acquisition of Resilient Power Systems Inc.*

On August 6, 2025, Eaton acquired Resilient Power Systems Inc. (Resilient), a leading North American developer and manufacturer of innovative energy solutions, including solid-state transformer-based technology. Resilient was acquired for $86 million, including $55 million of cash paid at closing and an initial estimate of $31 million for the fair value of contingent future consideration based on 2025 through 2028 revenue performance and achievement of technology-based milestones. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is estimated by discounting contingent payments expected to be made, and may increase or decrease based on changes in milestone achievements and discount rates, with a maximum possible undiscounted value of $45 million. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the contingent future payments is $32 million. Resilient is reported within the Electrical Americas business segment.

As part of the acquisition, Eaton assumed employee incentives with a maximum payout of $50 million contingent upon achievement of the same revenue performance and technology-based milestones, as well as continued employment with Eaton. The incentives will be paid over three years, starting in 2026 and concluding in 2028. As of March 31, 2026, the Company expects to pay $50 million of employee incentives based on the estimated probability of the milestones being achieved. Compensation expense will be recognized over the requisite service period. During the first quarter of 2026, compensation expense of $11 million was included in Selling and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

*Investment in SPAN*

On January 15, 2026, Eaton invested $75 million in SPAN for a stake of approximately 7 percent. SPAN is a manufacturer of smart panel and power controls technology to further enable affordable home electrification at scale. Eaton accounts for this nonmarketable investment at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. The investment is included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Acquisition of Ultra PCS Limited*

On January 23, 2026, Eaton acquired Ultra PCS Limited (Ultra PCS) for $1.53 billion, net of cash acquired.

**Note 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REVENUE RECOGNITION**

Sales are recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied and control of promised goods or services have transferred to our customers. Control is transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain benefits from the goods or services. Sales are measured at the amount of consideration the Company expects to be paid in exchange for these products or services.

The following table provides disaggregated sales by lines of businesses, geographic destination, market channel or end market, as applicable, for the Company's business segments:

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (revenue recognized exceeds amount billed to the customer), and deferred revenue (advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized). Accounts receivable from customers were $5,709 million and $4,682 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of contractual milestones. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Unbilled receivables were $933 million and $759 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The increase in unbilled receivables reflects higher revenue recognized and not yet billed from increased business activity in 2026, higher revenue recognized over time in 2026, and unbilled receivables associated with the Ultra PCS acquisition.

Deferred revenue liabilities of $1,088 million and $899 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the remaining balance presented in Other noncurrent liabilities.

A significant portion of open orders placed with Eaton are by customers of electrical products and electrical system and services, original equipment manufacturers or distributors. These open orders are not considered firm as they have been historically subject to releases by customers. In measuring backlog of unsatisfied or partially satisfied obligations, only the amount of orders to which customers are firmly committed are included. Using this criterion, total backlog at March 31, 2026 was approximately $22.8 billion. At March 31, 2026, approximately 68% of this backlog is targeted for delivery to customers in the next twelve months and the rest thereafter.

**Note 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CREDIT LOSSES FOR RECEIVABLES**

Receivables are exposed to credit risk based on the customers' ability to pay which is influenced by, among other factors, their financial liquidity position. Eaton's receivables are generally short-term in nature with a majority outstanding less than 90 days.

Eaton performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and maintains sufficient allowances for potential credit losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its receivables based on the length of time the receivable is past due, and any anticipated future write-off based on historic experience adjusted for current market conditions. The Company's global credit department performs the credit evaluation and monitoring process to estimate and manage credit risk. The process includes an evaluation of credit losses for both the overall segment receivable and specific customer balances. The process also includes review of customer financial information and credit ratings, approval and monitoring of customer credit limits, and an assessment of current market conditions. The Company may also require prepayment from customers to mitigate credit risk. Receivable balances are written off against an allowance for credit losses after a final determination of collectability has been made.

Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for credit losses of $58 million and $57 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The change in the allowance for credit losses includes expense and net write-offs, none of which are significant.

During the first quarter of 2026, Eaton re-segmented certain business segments due to a reorganization of the Company's businesses. The new segment is Mobility, which consists of the legacy Vehicle and eMobility segments. The Company's reporting units are equivalent to the business segments, except for the Aerospace segment which continues to have two reporting units.

As a result of the re-segmentation, the goodwill of the legacy Vehicle and eMobility reporting units was combined and assigned to the new Mobility reporting unit. The re-segmentation did not result in a reallocation of goodwill using a relative fair value methodology, as the re-segmentation resulted in a combination of previously existing reporting units and did not change the composition of other reporting units.

The 2026 additions to goodwill relate primarily to the anticipated synergies of acquiring Boyd Thermal and Ultra PCS. The allocation of the purchase price from the Resilient, Ultra PCS and Boyd Thermal acquisitions are preliminary and will be completed during the measurement period.

**Note 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE PROGRAM**

The Company negotiates payment terms directly with its suppliers for the purchase of goods and services. In addition, a third-party financial institution offers a voluntary supply chain finance (SCF) program that enables certain of the Company's suppliers, at the supplier's sole discretion, to sell receivables due from the Company to the financial institution on terms directly negotiated with the financial institution. If a supplier elects to participate in the SCF program, the supplier decides which invoices are sold to the financial institution and the Company has no economic interest in a supplier's decision to sell an invoice. Payments by the Company to participating suppliers are paid to the financial institution on the invoice due date, regardless of whether an individual invoice is sold by the supplier to the financial institution. The amounts due to the financial institution for suppliers that participate in the SCF program are included in Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the associated payments are included in operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

**Note 13. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

Fair value is measured based on an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to satisfy a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a fair value hierarchy is established, which categorizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

A summary of financial instruments and contingent consideration recognized at fair value, and the fair value measurements used, is as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| (In millions) | Total | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets <br>(Level 1) | Other observable inputs <br>(Level 2) | Unobservable inputs <br>(Level 3) |

Eaton values its financial instruments using an industry standard market approach, in which prices and other relevant information is generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

**Other Fair Value Measurements**

Long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt had a carrying value of $18,619 million and fair value of $18,065 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $9,894 million and $9,587 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. The fair value of Eaton's debt instruments was estimated using prevailing market interest rates on debt with similar creditworthiness, terms and maturities and is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

**Note 15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION**

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. Operating profit includes the operating profit from intersegment sales. For additional information regarding Eaton's business segments, see Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2025 Form 10-K.

The chief operating decision maker uses segment operating profit as an input to assess segment performance and determine appropriate resource allocations, including capital, financial, and employee resources. Segment operating profit results are regularly evaluated versus annual profit plan, forecast and/or prior year.

Other segment items are primarily comprised of Cost of products sold, Selling and administrative expense, Research and development expense, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and certain items included in Other income – net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company's chief operating decision maker manages these items on a consolidated basis.

During the first quarter of 2026, Eaton re-segmented certain business segments due to a reorganization of the Company's businesses.

On January 26, 2026, Eaton announced its intention to pursue a spin-off of its Mobility business, which consists of the Mobility business segment, into an independent, publicly traded company. Eaton expects to complete the anticipated spin-off by the end of the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary legal and regulatory requirements and approvals, including final approval of the Company's Board of Directors and effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The planned spin-off is expected to be completed in a manner that is tax-free to Eaton ordinary shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Additional information related to acquisitions of businesses is presented in Note 2.

**IEEPA Tariffs**

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling invalidating certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and thereafter, the Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to develop a process to refund tariffs imposed under IEEPA. We are evaluating the impact of these developments on our business and financial statements and cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact nor deem such impact probable. Some of the factors considered in our evaluation include the uncertainty as to the extent tariffs will be refunded by CBP, what processes will govern such refunds, or if such refunds are fully collectable. No amounts have been recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 given the uncertainty regarding the potential refund process.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

The following discussion of Consolidated Financial Results includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per ordinary share, each of which differs from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per ordinary share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the Consolidated Financial Results table below. 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's financial performance period to period. Management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating the on-going performance of Eaton.

**Acquisition and Divestiture Charges**

Eaton incurs integration charges and transaction costs to acquire and integrate businesses, and transaction, separation and other costs to divest and exit businesses. Eaton also recognizes gains and losses on the sale of businesses. A summary of these Corporate items is as follows:

---

| Income tax benefit | 21 | 2 |
| Total after income taxes | $87 | $8 |
| Per ordinary share - diluted | $0.22 | $0.02 |

---

Acquisition integration, divestiture charges and transaction costs in 2026 and 2025 are primarily related to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The acquisitions of Fibrebond Corporation, Resilient Power Systems Inc., Ultra PCS Limited, Boyd Thermal, and Exertherm, the anticipated spin-off of the Mobility business, transactions completed prior to 2023, and other charges to acquire and exit businesses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Employee incentive compensation expense related to the acquisition of Resilient of $11 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Charges in 2026 and 2025 were included in Cost of products sold, Selling and administrative expense, or Other income - net. In Business Segment Information in Note 15, the charges were included in Other expense - net.

**Restructuring Programs**

During the first quarter of 2024, Eaton implemented a multi-year restructuring program to accelerate opportunities to optimize its operations and global support structure. These actions will better align the Company's functions to support anticipated growth and drive greater effectiveness throughout the Company. Since the inception of the program, the Company has incurred charges of $374 million. This restructuring program is expected to be completed in 2026 and is expected to incur additional expenses related to workforce reductions of $78 million and plant closing and other costs of $24 million, resulting in total estimated charges of $475 million for the entire program. The Company expects mature year benefits of $375 million when the multi-year program is fully implemented.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign currency | 3% |
| Total increase in Net sales | 17% |

---

The increase in organic sales in the first quarter of 2026 was due to strength in data center and machine OEM end-markets in the Electrical Americas and Electrical Global business segments, strength in commercial & institutional end-markets in the Electrical Americas business segment, strength in residential end-markets in the Electrical Global business segment, and strength in military aftermarket, commercial OEM, and commercial aftermarket in the Aerospace business segment, partially offset by weakness in industrial end-markets in the Electrical Americas and Electrical Global business segments, weakness in utility end-markets in the Electrical Americas business segment, and weakness in the North American region driven by the exit of a low-margin light vehicle business in the Mobility business segment.

**Gross Profit**

Gross profit margin decreased from 38.4% in the first quarter of 2025 to 35.6% in the first quarter of 2026. Material factors affecting this decrease were a 400 basis point decline from commodity and wage inflation, partially offset by an 80 basis point increase from operating efficiencies and a 70 basis point increase from higher sales.

**Income Taxes**

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was expense of 21.6% compared to expense of 18.0% for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to greater levels of income in higher tax jurisdictions and the fact that the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 included a reduction in the amount of foreign unrecognized tax benefits.

---

The material factors affecting the increase in Total corporate expense in the first quarter of 2026 were higher Other expense - net, Interest expense - net, Intangible asset amortization expense, and Restructuring program changes. The increase in Other expense - net is primarily due to higher acquisition and divestiture costs.

**LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES, AND FINANCIAL CONDITION**

**Liquidity and Financial Condition**

Eaton's objective is to finance its business through operating cash flow and an appropriate mix of equity and long-term and short-term debt. By diversifying its debt maturity structure, Eaton reduces liquidity risk.

On February 6, 2026, Eaton Corporation, a subsidiary of Eaton, exercised a $1,000 million upsize of the existing $3,000 million five-year revolving credit agreement, increasing the total facility size to $4,000 million.

The revolving credit facility is used to support commercial paper borrowings and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Eaton and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries on an unsubordinated, unsecured basis. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2026. Also on February 6, 2026 the Company increased its commercial paper program from $3,000 million to $4,000 million. The Company maintains access to the commercial paper markets through its $4,000 million commercial paper program, of which $2,497 million was outstanding on March 31, 2026, used primarily to manage fluctuations in working capital and to partially fund acquisitions closed during 2026.

On March 6, 2026, Eaton Corporation, a subsidiary of Eaton, issued notes (2026 U.S. Notes) with an aggregate face amount of $8,500 million.

Interest is payable semi-annually. The issuer received proceeds totaling $8,428 million from the 2026 U.S. Notes issuance, net of financing costs and discounts. The 2026 U.S. Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsubordinated, unsecured basis by Eaton and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The U.S. 2026 Notes contain customary optional redemption and par call provisions. The U.S. 2026 Notes also contain a change of control provision which requires the Company to make an offer to purchase all or any part of the 2026 U.S. Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The capitalized deferred financing fees are amortized in Interest expense - net over the respective terms of the 2026 U.S. Notes. The 2026 U.S. Notes are subject to customary non-financial covenants.

On March 10, 2026, Eaton Capital Unlimited Company, a subsidiary of Eaton, issued Euro denominated notes (2026 Euro Notes) with an aggregate face amount of €1,200 million ($1,390 million).

The issuer received proceeds totaling €1,191 million ($1,380 million) from the 2026 Euro Notes issuance, net of financing costs and discounts. The 2026 Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsubordinated, unsecured basis by Eaton and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The 2026 Euro Notes contain customary optional redemption and par call provisions. The 2026 Euro Notes also contain a change of control provision which requires the Company to make an offer to purchase all or any part of the 2026 Euro Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The capitalized deferred financing fees are amortized in Interest expense - net over the respective terms of the 2026 Euro Notes. The 2026 Euro Notes are subject to customary non-financial covenants.

On March 6, 2026, Eaton Corporation, a subsidiary of Eaton, terminated the $8,000 million senior unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (Term Credit Agreement) entered into on February 6, 2026. No loans were outstanding as of the date of termination and the Company incurred no fees or penalties in connection with the termination. The Term Credit Agreement was terminated in connection with the issuance of the 2026 U.S. Notes and 2026 Euro Notes.

***Operating Cash Flow***

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $269 million in the first three months of 2026 compared to 2025. Material factors affecting this increase were working capital balances being $299 lower, partially offset by lower net income of $97 million.

***Investing Cash Flow***

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $12,608 million in the first three months of 2026 compared to 2025.

***Financing Cash Flow***

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $11,040 million in the first three months of 2026 compared to 2025.

***Dividends***

Cash dividend payments were $415 million and $397 million in the first three months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

***Share Repurchases***

On February 23, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program for repurchases of ordinary shares up to $5.0 billion to be made during the three-year period commencing on that date (2022 Program). On February 27, 2025, the Board of Directors renewed the 2022 Program by providing authority for up to $9.0 billion in repurchases to be made during the three-year period commencing on that date (2025 Program). Under the 2025 Program, the ordinary shares are expected to be repurchased over time, depending on market conditions, the market price of ordinary shares, capital levels, and other considerations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no ordinary shares were repurchased. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 1.9 million ordinary shares were repurchased under the 2025 Program and the 2022 Program in the open market at a total cost of $608 million. The Company does not intend to pursue share repurchases in 2026 due to the acquisition of Boyd Thermal on March 12, 2026.

***Acquisition of Businesses and Investments in Nonmarketable Securities***

The Company paid cash of $11,079 million in the first three months of 2026 to acquire businesses. There were no business acquisitions in the first three months of 2025. Additionally, the Company paid $85 million in the first three months of 2026 for investments in nonmarketable securities. There were no investments in nonmarketable securities in the first three months of 2025.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had Short-term debt of $2,510 million, Current portion of long-term debt of $84 million, and Long-term debt of $18,535 million. The Company believes it has the operating flexibility, cash flow, and access to capital markets to meet scheduled payments of long-term debt. For additional information on financing transactions and debt see Note 8.

**Supply Chain Finance Program**

A third-party financial institution offers a voluntary supply chain finance (SCF) program that enables certain of the Company's suppliers, at the supplier's sole discretion, to sell receivables due from the Company to the financial institution on terms directly negotiated with the financial institution. The SCF program does not have a significant impact on the Company's liquidity as payments by the Company to participating suppliers are paid to the financial institution on the invoice due date, regardless of whether an individual invoice is sold by the supplier to the financial institution. For additional information on the SCF program, see Note 7.

The Eurobonds and the Registered Senior Notes (together, the Senior Notes) comprise substantially all of Eaton's long-term indebtedness.

Substantially all of the Senior Notes (with limited exceptions), together with the credit facilities described above under Liquidity and Financial Condition (the Credit Facilities), are guaranteed by Eaton and 17 of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, they rank equally with each other. However, because these obligations are not secured, they would be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured indebtedness of Eaton and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2026, Eaton has no material, long-term secured debt. The guaranteed Registered Senior Notes are also structurally subordinated to the liabilities of Eaton's subsidiaries that are not guarantors. Except as described below under Future Guarantors, Eaton is not obligated to cause its subsidiaries to guarantee the Registered Senior Notes.

The table set forth in Exhibit 22 filed with the Form 10-Q filed on August 5, 2025 (10-Q Exhibit 22) details the primary obligors and guarantors with respect to the guaranteed Registered Senior Notes.

***Terms of Guarantees of Registered Securities***

Payment of principal and interest on the Registered Senior Notes is guaranteed, on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis by the subsidiaries of Eaton set forth in the table referenced in the 10-Q Exhibit 22. Each guarantee is full and unconditional, and joint and several. Each guarantor's guarantee is an unsecured obligation that ranks equally with all its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee of the Registered Senior Notes are subject to a customary savings clause or similar provision designed to prevent such guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or otherwise legally impermissible or voidable obligation.

Though the terms of the indentures vary slightly, generally, each guarantee of the Registered Senior Notes by a guarantor that is a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation provides that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to:

(a)the consummation of certain types of transactions permitted under the applicable indenture, including one that results in such guarantor ceasing to be a subsidiary; and

(b)for Registered Senior Notes issued under the 2022 and 2025 Indentures, when such guarantor is a guarantor or issuer of indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of less than 25% of our total outstanding indebtedness.

Further, each guarantee by a direct or indirect parent of Eaton Corporation (other than Eaton) provides that it will also be released if:

(c)such guarantee (so long as the guarantor is not obligated under any other U.S. debt obligations), becomes prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation or by any contractual obligation; or

(d)such guarantee results in material adverse tax consequences to Eaton or any of its subsidiaries (so long as the applicable guarantor is not obligated under any other U.S. debt obligation).

The guarantee of Eaton does not contain any release provisions.

***Future Guarantors***

The 2012 and 2017 Indentures generally provide that, with certain limited exceptions, any subsidiary of Eaton must become a guarantor if it becomes obligated as borrower or guarantor under any series of debt securities or a syndicated credit facility. Further, the 2012 and 2017 Indentures provide that any entity that becomes a direct or indirect parent entity of Eaton Corporation and holds any material assets, with certain limited exceptions, or owes any material liabilities must become a guarantor. The 2022 and 2025 Indentures provide only that, with certain limited exceptions, any subsidiary of Eaton must become a guarantor if it becomes obligated as borrower or guarantor under indebtedness with an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of 25% of the Parent and its Subsidiaries' then-outstanding indebtedness.

The 1994 Indenture does not contain provisions with respect to future guarantors.

## Exhibit 10.3

**Exhibit 10.3**

**Eaton Corporation plc** 

**Executive Incentive Compensation Plan**

(<u>Amended and Restated as of February 25, 2026</u>)

**I.Plan Term and Purpose**

The purpose of the Amended and Restated Eaton Executive Incentive Compensation (EIC) Plan (the "Plan") is to provide an annual incentive compensation opportunity to attract and retain executives and other designated employees of Eaton Corporation plc (the "Company") and its directly and indirectly controlled subsidiaries (the Company and such subsidiaries being referred to herein collectively as "Eaton").

***"Target Incentive Pool"*** is the sum of the product of Eligible Base Salary participant multiplied by the Target Incentive Percentage, excluding Elected Officers who are managed separately from the pool.

**III.Administration**

The C&O Committee administers the Plan with respect to the Executive Officers as required under stock exchange or other regulations or rules, unless otherwise specified. The C&O Committee delegates administration of the Plan for all other participants to Eaton's Human Resources function.

The C&O Committee or its delegate shall have complete authority to interpret all provisions of the Plan consistent with the law.

**IV.Concept**

------

The Plan is intended to support Eaton's pay-for-performance culture by providing reward opportunities for individuals who are in positions that may significantly influence company results. As a result, a portion of total compensation is at risk and directly linked to the achievement of corporate, business unit and individual results.

**V.Eligibility**

Any salaried Eaton employee who, in the judgment of the C&O Committee, meets the criteria described in Section I may be selected for participation in the Plan. The C&O Committee will have final authority for designating participants in the Plan, but may delegate this authority, as it deems advisable. Participation in the Plan is on a Plan Year basis. Participation in one Plan Year does not automatically constitute participation in the next Plan Year.

Eligibility begins on the first day of the month in which an employee is designated as a participant, regardless of the day of the month on which the designation occurs.

**VI.Goal Determination**

During the first 90 days of the Plan Year, the C&O Committee will establish, in writing, the Company Performance Metrics, threshold, target, and maximum goals for each metric, the weighting of each metric, payout curves, and other qualitative and quantitative factors it considers appropriate for rewarding performance for the Plan Year.

Company Performance Metrics shall be based on the achievement of one or more criteria selected by the Committee, in its discretion, which may include, but shall not be limited to the following: cash flow and related measures; earnings or earnings-related measures; earnings per share; financial return ratios; market performance; net profits; operating profits; operating earnings per share; profit returns or margins; revenues or sales; revenue or sales growth; shareholder return and/or value; working capital; changes between years or periods, or returns over year or periods that are determined with respect to any of the above-listed performance criteria.

If the C&O Committee determines that a change in the Company's business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure; manner in which conducts its business; or other events or circumstances render the Company Performance Metrics unsuitable in a Plan Year, the C&O Committee may, in its discretion and without the consent of any participant, adjust such Company Performance Metrics or the related level of achievement, in whole or in part, as the C&O Committee deems appropriate or equitable. Adjustments may include, without limitation, the exclusion of the effects of events that are unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence (as determined in accordance with applicable financial accounting standards), cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes, discontinued operations, acquisitions, divestitures and material restructuring or asset impairment charges.

During the first 90 days of the Plan Year, members of Eaton management, in its sole discretion, will establish the goals, weightings, payout curves, and any other qualitative and quantitative factors applicable to Business Unit Metrics for the Plan Year. Business Unit Metrics may be quantitative or qualitative in nature and may include the same or different criteria chosen for purposes of the Company Performance Metrics as applicable to each respective business and may be adjusted Management's discretion in the same manner as the C&O Committee may adjust Company Performance Metrics.

**VII.Determination of Awards**

Within 90 days of the conclusion of the Plan Year, the C&O Committee will consider actual performance related to the threshold, target, and maximum goals for each Company Performance Objectives established for the Plan Year and may also consider other factors including but not limited to performance versus profit plans, progress toward the execution of the Company's growth strategies; profit performance relative to increases or decreases in revenue (our incremental and decremental rate); delivery; quality; and items that are not related to operational performance that impact results to determine the CPF which may range from 0-200%.

Also, within 90 days after the end of the Plan Year, the Management Committee, using a similar process that the C&O Committee uses to determine the CPF, will assess actual results relative to the Business Unit Metrics and determine a Business Unit Rating that ranges from 0% to 150%. The Management Committee and its delegates have the sole discretion in determining which participants' award calculations are subject to a Business Unit Rating.

Participants will be given individual ratings ranging from 0% to 150% based on individual performance during the Plan Year. The rating will be recommended by the participant's manager or next level manager, subject to final review and approval by the Business Unit Leader. Executive and Elected Officers' individual ratings will be recommended by the CEO (other than his or her own) and are subject to the approval of the C&O Committee. The CEO's individual rating will be determined by the C&O Committee.

Participant's awards will be determined based on the following formula:

---

| | | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Eligible<br>Base Salary | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;X | Target<br>Incentive Percentage | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;X | &nbsp;&nbsp;CPF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;X | &nbsp;&nbsp;Individual Rating | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;X | BUR<br>if applicable |

---

**VIII.Allocating Incentive Pools**

The process of allocating the funds under the Aggregate Incentive Pool is based upon individual performance ratings which can range from 0% to 150%.

The total amount of awards to participants for any given Plan Year may be less than but cannot exceed the total amount of the Aggregate Incentive Pool for such Plan Year. Elected Officers' awards are subject to the approval of the C&O Committee, which shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the Plan, but which shall be paid from Eaton's general funds rather than the Aggregate Incentive Pool.

**IX.Special Award Fund**

The C&O Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish a discretionary pool or award special payments to individual participants who, in the C&O Committee's judgment, have made extraordinary contributions to Eaton in a Plan Year when actual results of Company Performance Metrics are below the threshold goal level needed to generate a payout.

**X.Payment**

Incentive compensation payable to a participant will be paid in a cash lump sum in the calendar year following the Plan Year, at the earliest feasible date following the determination of the final CPF and the calculation of individual incentive payments, between March 1 and no later than March 31.

**XI.Earning Conditions; Service for Part of Year**

A participant must be employed by Eaton at the end of the Plan Year to be eligible for a payment under the Plan, provided, however, that a participant's target shall be prorated to reflect the participant's number of months of service during the Plan Year in the event a participant's employment is terminated prior to the end of the Plan Year for reason of "retirement" (as defined in Eaton's defined contribution, defined benefit, or local retirement plans, or if none then based on local practices, or in Eaton's sole discretion), or in Eaton's sole discretion, death, disability or involuntary business action without cause. Prorated participation in a Plan Year does not guarantee an award as Company Performance Metrics, Business Unit Metrics, and the Individual Rating may be 0%. Participants whose employment terminates for any reason other than the reasons listed in this paragraph prior to the end of the Plan Year are not eligible to receive any incentive compensation payment under this Plan for such Plan Year. Prorations for participants who have taken a leave of absence during the Plan Year will be determined based on applicable local laws. A participant who is employed by Eaton at the end of the Award Period but did not provide any service to Eaton during the Plan Year shall not be eligible for an award, unless required by local law.

------

Earned awards to participants whose targets have been prorated as described in the preceding paragraph will be made at the time specified in Section X. Participants who voluntarily terminate their employment for reasons other than retirement or who are terminated for Cause prior to the end of an Award Period are not eligible for prorated participation. In addition, if a participant receives a payment in lieu of Plan participation at the time of termination based on local regulations or practices, he or she is not eligible for prorated participation or any payment for the Plan Year in which the termination occurs under the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any termination of the Plan during any Plan Year, payments to all participants will be made at the time specified in Section X above (or, at the discretion of the C&O

Committee, at such other time as may be permitted by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Section 409A")), prorated for each participant's length of service during the Plan Year prior to the date of Plan termination.

**XII.Plan Amendments, Modifications and Termination**

The C&O Committee, in its sole discretion, may amend, modify, or terminate the Plan at any time.

**XIII.Compliance with Law**

No payment will be made under the Plan except in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including, without limitation, compliance with tax requirements. Without limiting the foregoing, it is intended that the Plan, and each payment under the Plan, will either comply with or be exempt from all applicable requirements of Section 409A, and the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eaton does not guarantee any particular tax result, and in no event whatsoever will Eaton, its affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel or other service providers, be liable for any tax interest or penalty that may be imposed on any participant by Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

In addition, if any feature of the Plan or action taken under the Plan is determined to be unlawful, the feature or action will be deemed invalid and will not impact the remaining features, terms, and conditions of the Plan.

**XIV.No Right to Employment**

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor its operation, nor any document describing or referring to the Plan, shall confer upon any participant any right to continue in the employ of Eaton, nor shall it in any way affect Eaton's right to terminate the employment of any participant at any time with or without assigning a reason therefore, to the same extent as Eaton might have done if the Plan had not been adopted.

**XV.Non-Transferability**

No right to incentive compensation under the Plan shall be subject to debts, contract liabilities, engagements, or torts of the participant, nor to transfer, anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance by the participant except by will or the law of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualitied domestic relations order.

**XVI.Compensation Recovery Policy**

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, awards granted under the Plan are, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, subject to reduction, cancellation or reimbursement pursuant to any applicable law, regulation or the Recoupment Policy of Eaton Corporation plc, as in effect from time to time (the "Recovery Policy"). The Recovery Policy provides that incentive compensation awarded to any participant may be subject to recoupment in the event of detrimental activity which includes (i) dishonest conduct resulting in a felony conviction or (ii) willful illegal conduct, fraud, or gross misconduct that is injurious to Eaton. In addition, performance-based incentive compensation awarded to Officers shall be subject to recoupment in the event of an accounting restatement under the circumstances described in the Recovery Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between this Section and the terms of any Recovery Policy, the terms of the Recovery Policy will prevail.
