NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS, USA – (BUSINESS WIRE) – February 19, 2026 - UL Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ULS), a global safety science leader in independent third-party testing, inspection and certification services and related software and advisory offerings, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2025.

"I'm incredibly proud of our team's outstanding performance, with fourth quarter and full-year results exceeding guidance," said President and CEO Jennifer Scanlon. "Surpassing $3 billion in annual revenue for the first time is a significant milestone, reflecting our business model's strength and resilience during an environment of changing global dynamics. We delivered safety, security and sustainability solutions backed by trusted, science-based expertise to over 80,000 customers as they brought their products to complex global markets."

Scanlon added: "We are well positioned in 2026 for continued high-quality growth thanks to strategic investments we've made to support our customers' innovations, including our focus on megatrends such as the global energy transition and rapid AI-fueled digitalization. Our disciplined capital allocation and commitment to operational excellence through continuous improvement reinforce our growth trajectory."

Chief Financial Officer Ryan Robinson stated: "We delivered record financial results for the full-year 2025 amid sustained demand in all geographic regions, with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.9%, an increase of 300 basis points from the prior year, and cash flow from operations of $600 million. Strong organic growth, continued Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and robust cash flow generation demonstrate the essential role we play helping customers worldwide. Our operational initiatives, including laboratory productivity gains and footprint optimization, drove meaningful Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement. Looking ahead to 2026, we anticipate mid-single digit constant currency organic revenue growth while continuing to improve our Adjusted EBITDA margin, and we remain confident in our ability to deliver sustainable long-term value."

**Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results**

Revenue of $789 million compared to $739 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 6.8%. Organic growth of 5.7%, led by Consumer and Industrial segments.

Pre-tax charges associated with the previously announced expense reduction initiative (the "Restructuring Plan") of $37 million.

Net income of $71 million compared to $85 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 16.5%. Net income margin of 9.0% compared to 11.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 250 basis points. The margin decrease resulted from an increased income tax rate and restructuring charges noted above, partially offset by higher revenue and operating leverage.

<sup>1</sup> This press release includes references to non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" later in this release for the definitions of each non-GAAP financial measure presented, as well as reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. All comparisons are to fourth quarter 2024 unless otherwise noted.

<sup>2</sup> All comparisons in the section titled Full-Year 2025 are to full-year 2024 unless otherwise noted.

Operating income of $12 million, including charges of $28 million related to the Restructuring Plan, compared to $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, total debt was $494 million, prior to unamortized debt issuance costs, a decrease from December 31, 2024 due to $253 million of net repayments on the Company's credit facilities.

------

**Increased Quarterly Dividend**

The Company's board of directors has increased the quarterly dividend by 11.5% to $0.145 per share for the first quarter of 2026. The dividend will be paid on March 12, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 2, 2026.

**Employee Health and Safety Software Business Sale**

On February 12, 2026, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Employee Health and Safety software business that was previously accounted for in the Company's Software and Advisory segment. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026 and will allow the Company to focus on its core ULTRUS<sup>TM</sup> software portfolio, which provides customers with risk and compliance software solutions that drive product safety and innovation, supply chain transparency and enterprise sustainability.

**Full-Year 2026 Outlook**

The Company's 2026 outlook includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mid-single digit constant currency organic revenue growth

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Inclusive of approximately 1% revenue reduction from business exits announced in the Restructuring Plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement to between 26.5% and 27.0%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Effective tax rate of approximately 26%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capital expenditures between 7% and 8% of revenue

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing to pursue acquisitions and portfolio refinements

The Company's 2026 outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results expressed by this outlook, which may be impacted by, among other things, implementation of the Restructuring Plan. In addition, the recent geopolitical environment and attendant increased levels of uncertainty have caused, and may continue to cause, the Company's customers to modify, delay or cancel plans to purchase services. Accordingly, ongoing uncertainty related to the current geopolitical environment and the associated unpredictability of the macroeconomic environment could have an adverse impact on various aspects of the Company's business in the future, including its results of operations and financial condition. Like many other global businesses, the Company is carefully monitoring the potential impacts.

The Company does not provide guidance for net income margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA margin, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA margin and net income margin without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of net income and the respective reconciliations. These forecasted items are not within the Company's control, may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release may be forward-looking statements. These include statements regarding management's objectives for future operations and the Company's plans, business strategy, outlook and future results of operations and financial position, including without limitation, the statements under the heading "Full-Year 2026 Outlook," statements about the Company's expectations with respect to the Restructuring Plan, including the Company's estimates of the charges and expenditures in connection therewith and the timing thereof and the Company's estimates of the benefits of such Restructuring Plan, the payment of quarterly dividends, and the Company's plans to sell its Employee Health and Safety software business, including the Company's estimates of the timing thereof and the expected benefits of such sale. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "would," "likely," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "could," "intends," "targets," "projects," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continues," "outlook" and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions (although not all forward-looking statements may contain such words). The Company cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

There are or will be important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements made in this press release, including, but not limited to, the following: any failure on the Company's part to protect and maintain its brand and reputation, or the impact on its brand or reputation of third-party events or actions outside of its control; risks associated with the Company's information technology and software, including those relating to any future data breach or other cybersecurity incident; the potential disruption of the industries in which the Company operates by technological advances in artificial intelligence; the Company's ability to innovate, adapt to changing customer needs and successfully introduce new products and services in response to changes in the Company's industries and technological advances; the Company's ability to compete in its industries and the effects of increased competition from its competitors; risks associated with conducting business outside the United States, including those relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the imposition of tariffs and enhanced trade, import or export restrictions or changes in U.S. trade policy or similar government actions; and global, regional or political instability and geopolitical tensions; risks related to sustainability; risks associated with the Company's operations in China, which subject the Company and UL-CCIC Company Limited, the Company's joint venture with the China Certification & Inspection (Group) Co., Ltd. ("CCIC"), to China's complex and rapidly evolving laws, which may be interpreted, applied or enforced inconsistently or in ways inconsistent with its current operations, as well as risks associated with the fact that the Chinese government has the power to exercise significant oversight and discretion over, and intervene in and influence, its business operations in China; the relationship between the United States and China and between the Company and CCIC, as well as changes in U.S. and Chinese regulations affecting the Company's business operations in China; any failure on the Company's part to attract, hire or retain its key employees, including its senior leadership and its skilled and trained engineering, technical and professional personnel; the level of the Company's customers' satisfaction and any failure on its part to properly and timely perform its services, meet its contractual obligations or fulfil its customers' needs; changes to the relevant regulatory frameworks or private sector requirements, including any requirement that the Company accept third-party test results or certifications of components, end products, processes or systems or any changes that result in a reduction in required inspections, tests or certifications or harmonized international or cross-industry benchmarks and standards; the Company's ability to adequately maintain, protect and enhance its intellectual property, including its registered UL-in-a-circle certification mark and other certification marks; the Company's ability to implement its growth strategies and initiatives successfully; the Company's

------

reliance on third parties, including subcontractors and outside laboratories; the Company's ability to obtain and maintain the requisite licenses, approvals, accreditations and delegations of authority necessary to conduct its business; the outcomes of current and future legal proceedings; the Company's level of indebtedness and future cash needs; failure to generate sufficient cash to service the Company's indebtedness; a change in the assumptions the Company uses to value its goodwill or intangible assets, or the impairment of its goodwill or intangible assets; the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash to service its indebtedness and invest in the ongoing needs of its business; the increased expenses and responsibilities associated with being a public company; the significant influence that ULSE Inc., its parent and controlling stockholder, has over the Company, including pursuant to its rights under the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Stockholder Agreement with ULSE Inc.; natural disasters and other catastrophic events, including pandemics and the rapid spread of contagious illnesses; changes in tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of the Company's or its affiliates' tax returns; risks that the Company may be unable to implement the Restructuring Plan on the anticipated timing; that local law and consultation requirements, including for potential position eliminations, extends the restructuring process further in certain countries or causes the actual charges and expenditures that the Company incurs in connection with the Restructuring Plan, and the timing thereof, to differ materially from estimates; that the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the Restructuring Plan and that the Company may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of the Restructuring Plan; and other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including those set forth under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and under "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as other factors described from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC.

If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the Company's underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what the Company anticipates. Many of the important factors that will determine these results are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and, except as otherwise required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. If the Company updates one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict which will arise. In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each factor on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or others acting on the Company's behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In addition to financial measures determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), this press release includes supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, including the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income margin, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow margin. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP measures to understand and compare operating results across periods and for forecasting and other purposes. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and reflect results in a manner that enables, in some instances, more meaningful analysis of trends and facilitates comparison of results across periods. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, diluted earnings per share, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to potential differences between the companies in calculations.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income margin and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to measure the operational strength and performance of its business and believes these measures provide additional information to investors about certain non-cash items and unusual items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a meaningful measure of business performance. The Company uses Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow margin as

------

additional liquidity measures and believes they provide useful information to investors about the cash generated from the Company's core operations that may be available to repay debt, make other investments and return cash to stockholders.

There are material limitations to using these non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other expense (income), net, income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense for equity-settled awards, material asset impairment charges and restructuring expenses which directly affect the Company's net income, as applicable. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share do not take into account certain significant items, including other expense (income), net, stock-based compensation expense for equity-settled awards, material asset impairment charges and restructuring expenses which directly affect the Company's net income and diluted earnings per share, as applicable. Free Cash Flow adjusts for cash items that are ultimately within management's discretion to direct and therefore may imply that there is less or more cash that is available than the most comparable GAAP measure. Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since debt repayment requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently, and by considering these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with net income, operating income, diluted earnings per share and net cash provided by operating activities as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

See additional information below for definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

_________

1. Organic reflects revenue change in a given period excluding Acquisition / Divestiture and FX in that same period, expressed in dollars or as a percentage of revenue in the prior period.

2. Acquisition / Divestiture is calculated as revenue change in a given period related to acquisitions or disposals of businesses using prior period exchange rates, expressed in dollars or as a percentage of revenue in the prior period. Revenues from an acquisition or disposal are measured as Acquisition / Divestiture for the initial twelve month period following the acquisition or disposal date. Subsequently, the revenue impact from the acquired or disposed business is measured as Organic.

3. FX reflects the impact that foreign currency exchange rates have on revenue in a given period, expressed in dollars or as a percentage of revenue in the prior period. The Company uses constant currency to calculate the FX impact on revenue in a given period by translating current period revenues at prior period exchange rates, expressed as a percentage of revenue in the prior period.

__________

1. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, other expense (income), net, income tax expense, as well as stock-based compensation expense for equity-settled awards, material asset impairment charges and restructuring expenses, as applicable. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors about certain non-cash items and unusual items that are not expected to continue at the same level in the future. Further, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of business performance and provides a basis for comparing its performance to that of other peer companies using similar measures. There are material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other expense (income), net, income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense for equity-settled awards, material asset impairment charges and restructuring expenses which directly affect the Company's net income, as applicable. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently, and by considering Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

__________

1. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income adjusted for other expense (income), net, stock-based compensation expense for equity-settled awards, material asset impairment charges and restructuring expenses, as applicable, adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income provides additional information to investors about certain non-cash items and unusual items that are expected to continue at the same level in the future. Further, the Company believes Adjusted Net Income provides a meaningful measure of business performance and provides a basis for comparing its performance to that of other peer companies using similar measures. There are material limitations to using Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted Net Income does not take into account certain significant items, including other expense (income), net, stock-based compensation expense for equity-settled awards, material asset impairment charges and restructuring expenses which directly affect the Company's net income, as applicable. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently, and by considering Adjusted Net Income in conjunction with net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

2. Adjusted Net Income margin is calculated as Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of revenue.

3. The Company computed the tax effect of adjustments to net earnings by applying the statutory tax rate in the relevant jurisdictions to the taxable income or expense items that are adjusted in the period presented. If a valuation allowance exists, the rate applied is zero.

__________

1. The Company defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders of UL Solutions adjusted for other expense (income), net, stock-based compensation expense for equity-settled awards, material asset impairment charges and restructuring expenses, as applicable, adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share provides additional information to investors about certain non-cash items and unusual items that are expected to continue at the same level in the future. Further, the Company believes Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share provides a meaningful measure of business performance and provides a basis for comparing its performance to that of other peer companies using similar measures.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Free Cash Flow margin<sup>2</sup> | 13.2% | 10.0% |

---

__________

1. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities less cash outlays related to capital expenditures. The Company defines capital expenditures to include purchases of property, plant and equipment and capitalized software. These items are subtracted from cash from operating activities because they represent long-term investments that are required for normal business activities. The Company uses Free Cash Flow as an additional liquidity measure and believes it provides useful information to investors about the cash generated from its core operations that may be available to repay debt, make other investments and return cash to stockholders. There are material limitations to using Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow adjusts for cash items that are ultimately within management's discretion to direct, and therefore, may imply that there is less or more cash that is available than the most comparable GAAP measure. Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since debt repayment requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently, and by considering Free Cash Flow in conjunction with net cash provided by operating activities as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

2. Free Cash Flow margin is calculated as Free Cash Flow as a percentage of revenue.
