**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 2024 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.

**Adoption of New Accounting Standard**

Eaton adopted Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the fourth quarter of 2024 on a retrospective basis. This accounting standard requires additional segment disclosures on an annual and interim basis, including significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The standard does not change how operating segments and reportable segments are determined. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). This accounting standard requires disaggregated income tax disclosures on an annual basis, including information on the Company's effective income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 and expects the standard will only impact its income taxes disclosures with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the 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 July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (ASU 2025-05). This accounting standard provides a practical expedient allowing entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-05 and expects the standard will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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.

Fibrebond had sales of approximately $378 million for the twelve months ended February 28, 2025, and 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, as well as measurement period adjustments recorded as of September 30, 2025. The table below summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. These preliminary estimates will continue to be revised during the measurement period as third-party valuations are finalized, further information becomes available and additional analyses are performed, and these differences could have a material impact on Eaton's preliminary purchase price allocation. The current measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Income.

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 expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Other intangible assets of $709 million are expected to include customer relationships, backlog, trademarks and technology. Given the timing of the acquisition, Eaton has performed a preliminary valuation to determine the fair values for intangible assets and will continue to revise during the measurement period. 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 expense (income) - net. During the third quarter of 2025, compensation expense of $9 million, $2 million and $5 million were included in Costs of products sold, Selling and administrative expense, and Other expense (income) - net, respectively. During the first nine months of 2025, compensation expense of $43 million, $14 million and $7 million were included in Costs of products sold, Selling and administrative expense, and Other expense (income) - net, respectively.

Eaton's 2025 condensed consolidated financial statements include Fibrebond results of operations, including segment operating profit of $106 million on sales of $323 million, from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2025.

*Agreement to Acquire Ultra PCS Limited*

On June 16, 2025, Eaton signed an agreement to acquire Ultra PCS Limited (Ultra PCS), which is headquartered in the U.K. with operations in the U.K. and the U.S. Ultra PCS produces electronic controls, sensing, stores ejection and data processing solutions, enabling mission success for global aerospace customers in the air and on the ground. Under the terms of the agreement, Eaton will pay $1.55 billion for Ultra PCS. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025. Ultra PCS will be reported within the Aerospace business segment.

*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 revenue estimates and discount rates, with a maximum possible undiscounted value of $45 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 September 30, 2025, the Company expects to pay $38 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 third quarter of 2025, compensation expense of $4 million was included in Selling and administrative expense.

*Agreement to Acquire Boyd Thermal*

On November 2, 2025, Eaton signed an agreement to acquire Boyd Thermal, a U.S. based global leader in thermal components, systems, and ruggedized solutions for data center, aerospace and other end-markets. Boyd Thermal employs more than 5,000 people with manufacturing sites across North America, Asia, and Europe. Under the terms of the agreement, Eaton will pay $9.5 billion for Boyd Thermal. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.

**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 operating 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 $4,916 million and $4,079 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 $591 million and $330 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 2025 and unbilled receivables associated with the Fibrebond acquisition.

A significant portion of open orders placed with Eaton are by 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 September 30, 2025 was approximately $18.4 billion. At September 30, 2025, approximately 66% 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 market conditions. The Company's segments, supported by our global credit department, perform 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 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 $54 million and $55 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The change in the allowance for credit losses includes expense and net write-offs, none of which are significant.

---

The 2025 additions to goodwill relate primarily to the anticipated synergies of acquiring Fibrebond and Resilient. The allocation of the purchase price from these 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.

The changes in SCF obligations are as follows:

**Note 10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEGAL CONTINGENCIES**

Eaton is subject to a broad range of claims, administrative proceedings, and legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, claims for punitive damages, penalties, and interest, in a variety of matters, including, but not limited to, contract, indemnity, tax, patent infringement, intellectual property, personal injury, commercial, warranty, product liability, environmental, antitrust and trade regulation, class action, and labor and employment matters. Eaton is also subject to legal claims from historic products which may have contained asbestos. Insurance may cover some of the costs associated with claims and proceedings involving Eaton. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome or cost of these matters, the Company believes they will not have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

**Note 11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INCOME TAXES**

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 was expense of 20.7% compared to expense of 16.1% for the third quarter of 2024. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2025 was expense of 18.7% compared to expense of 16.8% for the first nine months of 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 was primarily due to greater levels of income in higher tax jurisdictions and the fact that the effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 included a reduction in valuation allowances on foreign tax attributes.

<u>Brazil Tax Years 2005-2012</u>

The Company has two Brazilian tax cases primarily relating to the amortization of certain goodwill generated from the acquisition of third-party businesses and corporate reorganizations. One case involves tax years 2005-2008 (Case 1), and the other involves tax years 2009-2012 (Case 2). Case 2 is proceeding on a more accelerated timeline than Case 1. For Case 2, the Company received a tax assessment in 2014 that included interest and penalties. In November 2019, the Company received an unfavorable result at the final tax administrative appeals level, resulting in an alleged tax deficiency of $25 million plus $122 million of interest and penalties (translated at the September 30, 2025 exchange rate). The Company is challenging this assessment in the judicial system and, on April 18, 2022, received an unfavorable decision at the first judicial level. On April 27, 2022, the Company filed a motion for clarification relating to that decision. On May 20, 2022, the court largely upheld its prior decision without further clarification. On June 9, 2022, the Company filed its notice of appeal to the second level court. On July 11, 2024, the court published a favorable decision resulting in the cancellation of a portion of the penalties imposed by the tax authorities. As a result of the favorable decision, the alleged interest and penalties was reduced from $122 million to $82 million (translated at the September 30, 2025 exchange rate). The Company intends to continue its challenge of the assessment in the judicial system.

As previously disclosed for Case 1, the Company received a separate tax assessment alleging a tax deficiency of $31 million plus $120 million of interest and penalties (translated at the September 30, 2025 exchange rate), which the Company is challenging in the judicial system. On April 4, 2024, the court published a favorable decision resulting in a reduction to the Case 1 assessment for the goodwill generated from the acquisition of a third-party business. In the same decision, the court confirmed the cancellation of a portion of the penalties imposed by the tax authorities. In May 2025, Eaton obtained a favorable decision that cancelled a portion of the assessment due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. As a result of the favorable decisions, the alleged tax deficiency was reduced to $22 million plus $63 million of interest and penalties (translated at the September 30, 2025 exchange rate). The remainder of Case 1 is still pending resolution at the first judicial level.

Both cases are expected to take several years to resolve through the Brazilian judicial system and require provision of certain assets as security for the alleged deficiencies. As of September 30, 2025, the Company pledged Brazilian real estate assets with net book value of $18 million and provided additional security in the form of bank secured bonds and insurance bonds totaling $101 million and a cash deposit of $28 million (translated at the September 30, 2025 exchange rate).

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025, 1.0 million and 5.2 million ordinary shares, respectively, were repurchased under the 2025 or 2022 Programs in the open market at a total cost of $355 million and $1,661 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 3.0 million and 5.3 million ordinary shares, respectively, were repurchased under the 2022 program in the open market at a total cost of $891 million and $1,629 million, respectively.

**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 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 $9,892 million and fair value of $9,604 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $9,152 million and $8,651 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024. 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 14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES**

In the normal course of business, Eaton is exposed to certain risks related to fluctuations in interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company uses various derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, currency forward exchange contracts, currency swaps and commodity contracts to manage risks from these market fluctuations. The instruments used by Eaton are straightforward, non-leveraged instruments. The counterparties to these instruments are financial institutions with strong credit ratings. Eaton maintains control over the size of positions entered into with any one counterparty and regularly monitors the credit rating of these institutions. Such instruments are not purchased and sold for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounting for the gain or loss resulting from the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument depends on whether it has been designated as part of a hedging relationship, is effective and the nature of the hedging activity. Eaton formally documents all relationships between derivative financial instruments accounted for as designated hedges and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative financial instruments to a recognized asset or liability, specific firm commitment, forecasted transaction, or net investment in a foreign operation. These financial instruments can be designated as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hedges of the change in the fair value of a recognized fixed-rate asset or liability, or the firm commitment to acquire such an asset or liability (a fair value hedge); for these hedges, the gain or loss from the derivative financial instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in income during the period of change in fair value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hedges of the variable cash flows of a recognized variable-rate asset or liability, or the forecasted acquisition of such an asset or liability (a cash flow hedge); for these hedges, the gain or loss from the derivative financial instrument is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to income in the same period when the gain or loss on the hedged item is included in income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hedges of the currency exposure related to a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge); for these hedges, the gain or loss from the derivative financial instrument is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to income in the same period when the gain or loss related to the net investment in the foreign operation is included in income.

The gain or loss from a derivative financial instrument designated as a hedge is classified in the same line of the Consolidated Statements of Income as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item. The cash flows resulting from these financial instruments are classified in operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

For derivatives that are not designated as a hedge, any gain or loss is immediately recognized in income. The majority of derivatives used in this manner relate to risks resulting from assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and certain commodity contracts that arise in the normal course of business.

Eaton uses currency exchange contracts, cross-currency interest rate swaps, and certain of its debt denominated in foreign currency to hedge portions of its net investments in foreign operations against foreign currency exposure (net investment hedges). The Company uses the spot rate method to assess hedge effectiveness when derivative financial instruments are used in net investment hedges. Under this method, changes in the fair value of currency exchange contracts attributable to changes in the spot exchange rate and changes in the fair value of cross-currency interest rate swaps are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes related to the forward rate of currency exchange contracts are excluded from the hedging relationship and the forward points are amortized to Interest expense - net on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Interest accruals on cross-currency interest rate swaps are excluded from the hedging relationship and recognized in Interest expense - net. The cash flows resulting from currency exchange contracts and cross-currency interest rate swaps are classified in investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The currency exchange contracts shown in the table above as derivatives not designated as hedges are primarily contracts entered into to manage currency volatility or exposure on intercompany receivables, payables and loans. While Eaton does not elect hedge accounting treatment for these derivatives, Eaton targets managing 95% to 100% of the intercompany balance sheet exposure to minimize the effect of currency volatility related to the movement of goods and services in the normal course of its operations. This activity represents the great majority of these currency exchange contracts. The cash flows resulting from the settlement of these derivatives have been classified in investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Foreign currency denominated debt designated as non-derivative net investment hedging instruments had a carrying value on an after-tax basis of $3,996 million at September 30, 2025 and $3,105 million at December 31, 2024.

**Note 16.&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. Eaton's operating segments are Electrical Americas, Electrical Global, Aerospace, Vehicle, and eMobility. Operating profit (loss) includes the operating profit from intersegment sales. For additional information regarding Eaton's business segments, see Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2024 Form 10-K.

The chief operating decision maker uses segment operating profit (loss) as an input to assess segment performance and determine appropriate resource allocations, including capital, financial, and employee resources. Segment operating profit (loss) 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 expense (income) – net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

**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:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three months ended<br>September 30 | Three months ended<br>September 30 | Nine months ended<br>September 30 | Nine months ended<br>September 30 |
| (In millions except for per share data) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Acquisition integration, divestiture charges and transaction costs (income) | $55 | $(4) | $135 | $23 |
| Income tax benefit | 11 |  | 30 | 7 |
| Total charges (income) after income taxes | $44 | $(4) | $105 | $17 |
| Per ordinary share - diluted | $0.11 | $(0.01) | $0.27 | $0.04 |

---

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The acquisitions of Fibrebond and Exertherm, transactions completed prior to 2023, and other charges to acquire and exit businesses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Employee transaction and retention award compensation expense related to the acquisition of Fibrebond of $16 million and $64 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Employee incentive compensation expense related to the acquisition of Resilient of $4 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Acquisition integration, divestiture charges and transaction costs in 2024 are primarily related to acquisitions completed prior to 2023, and include other charges and income to acquire and exit businesses.

Charges in 2025 and 2024 were included in Cost of products sold, Selling and administrative expense, Research and development expense, or Other expense (income) - net. In Business Segment Information in Note 16, 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 $300 million. This restructuring program is expected to be completed in 2026 and is expected to incur additional expenses related to workforce reductions of $118 million and plant closing and other costs of $57 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.

Additional information related to these restructuring programs is presented in Note 15.

The increase in organic sales in the third quarter of 2025 was due to strength in data center end-markets in the Electrical Americas and Electrical Global business segments, strength in machine OEM, residential, and commercial & institutional end-markets in the Electrical Global business segment, and broad based strength across all markets in the Aerospace business segment, partially offset by weakness in industrial end-markets in the Electrical Americas business segment, weakness in utility end-markets in the Electrical Global business segment, weakness in the North American truck and light vehicle markets in the Vehicle business segment, and weakness in the European region in the eMobility business segment.

The increase in organic sales in the first nine months of 2025 was due to strength in data center end-markets in the Electrical Americas and Electrical Global business segments, strength in machine OEM and residential end-markets in the Electrical Global business segment, and strength in military aftermarket 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 the North American truck and light vehicle markets in the Vehicle business segment, and weakness in the North American and European regions in the eMobility business segment.

**Gross Profit**

Gross profit margin decreased from 38.6% in the third quarter of 2024 to 38.3% in the third quarter of 2025. Material factors affecting this decrease were a 340 basis point decline from higher commodity and wage inflation and a 30 basis point decline from higher intangible asset amortization expense, partially offset by a 240 basis point increase from higher sales and a 130 basis point increase from operating efficiencies.

Gross profit margin decreased from 38.0% in the first nine months of 2024 to 37.9% in the first nine months of 2025. Material factors affecting this decrease were a 260 basis point decline from higher wage and commodity inflation, a 20 basis point decline from higher intangible asset amortization expense, and a 20 basis point decline from higher acquisition and divestiture charges, partially offset by a 230 basis point increase from higher sales and a 40 basis point increase from operating efficiencies.

**Income Taxes**

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 was expense of 20.7% compared to expense of 16.1% for the third quarter of 2024. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2025 was expense of 18.7% compared to expense of 16.8% for the first nine months of 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 was primarily due to greater levels of income in higher tax jurisdictions and the fact that the effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 included a reduction in valuation allowances on foreign tax attributes.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into law in the United States. The OBBBA extends and modifies certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and has multiple effective dates, with some provisions beginning in 2025. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in the third quarter of 2025. The Company will continue to assess the impact of OBBBA and does not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on its effective tax rate in future periods.

**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 September 29, 2025, a subsidiary of Eaton entered into a new $3,000 million five-year revolving credit agreement that will expire on September 27, 2030 (New Revolving Credit Agreement), which replaced the $500 million 364-day revolving credit agreement dated September 30, 2024 and $2,500 million five-year revolving credit agreement dated October 3, 2022. The New Revolving Credit Agreement 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 New Revolving Credit Agreement at September 30, 2025. The Company maintains access to the commercial paper markets through its $3,000 million commercial paper program, of which $755 million was outstanding on September 30, 2025, used primarily to manage fluctuations in working capital.

On May 9, 2025, a subsidiary of Eaton issued Euro denominated notes (2025 Euro Notes) with a face amount of €500 million ($564 million). The 2025 Euro Notes mature in 2035 with interest payable annually at a rate of 3.625% per annum. The issuer received proceeds totaling €494 million ($558 million) from the 2025 Euro Notes issuance, net of financing costs and discounts. The 2025 Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsubordinated, unsecured basis by Eaton and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The 2025 Euro Notes contain customary optional redemption and par call provisions. The 2025 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 2025 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 term of the 2025 Euro Notes. The 2025 Euro Notes are subject to customary non-financial covenants.

Also on May 9, 2025, the same subsidiary of Eaton issued senior notes (2025 Notes) with a face amount of $500 million. The 2025 Notes mature in 2030 with interest payable semi-annually at a rate of 4.45% per annum. The issuer received proceeds totaling $495 million from the 2025 Notes issuance, net of financing costs and discounts. The 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsubordinated, unsecured basis by Eaton and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The 2025 Notes contain customary optional redemption and par call provisions. The 2025 Notes also contain a change of control provision which requires the Company to make an offer to purchase all or any part of the 2025 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 term of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes are subject to customary non-financial covenants.

Over the course of a year, cash, short-term investments, and short-term debt may fluctuate in order to manage global liquidity. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Eaton had cash of $328 million and $555 million, short-term investments of $237 million and $1,525 million, respectively, with $761 million short-term debt as of September 30, 2025 and no short-term debt as of December 31, 2024. Eaton believes it has the operating flexibility, cash flow, cash and short-term investment balances, availability under existing revolving credit facilities, and access to capital markets in excess of the liquidity necessary to meet future operating needs of the business, fund capital expenditures and acquisitions of businesses, as well as scheduled payments of long-term debt.

On April 1, 2025, the Company paid $1.45 billion, net of cash acquired, to acquire Fibrebond Corporation. On August 6, 2025, the Company acquired Resilient Power Systems Inc. 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. In addition, the Company expects to close the acquisitions of Ultra PCS and Boyd Thermal in the fourth quarter of 2025 and second quarter of 2026, respectively, for $1.55 billion and $9.5 billion, respectively.

Eaton was in compliance with each of its debt covenants for all periods presented.

***Operating Cash Flow***

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $223 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 2024. Material factors affecting this decrease were working capital balances being $656 million higher, partially offset by higher net income of $131 million.

***Investing Cash Flow***

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $783 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 2024. Material factors affecting this increase were an increase in cash paid for business acquisitions of $1,504 million in 2025 compared to $50 million in 2024, partially offset by sales of short-term investments of $1,287 million in 2025 compared to $595 million in 2024.

***Financing Cash Flow***

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $880 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 2024. Material factors affecting this decrease were net proceeds of short-term debt of $761 million in 2025 compared to net payments of short-term debt of $6 million in 2024, and a decrease in payments on borrowings to $714 million in 2025 from $1,011 million in 2024, partially offset by an increase in cash dividends paid to $1,222 million in 2025 from $1,130 million in 2024 and an increase in repurchase of shares to $1,669 million in 2025 from $1,615 million in 2024.

***Capital Expenditures***

Capital expenditures were $527 million and $553 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company plans to increase capital expenditures over the next several years to expand production capacity across various markets to support anticipated growth. As a result, Eaton expects approximately $900 million in capital expenditures in 2025.

***Dividends***

Cash dividend payments were $1,222 million and $1,130 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Payment of quarterly dividends in the future depends upon the Company's ability to generate net income and operating cash flows, among other factors, and is subject to declaration by the Eaton Board of Directors. The Company intends to continue to pay quarterly dividends in 2025.

***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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025, 1.0 million and 5.2 million ordinary shares, respectively, were repurchased under the 2025 or 2022 Programs in the open market at a total cost of $355 million and $1,661 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 3.0 million and 5.3 million ordinary shares, respectively, were repurchased under the 2022 program in the open market at a total cost of $891 million and $1,629 million, respectively.

***Acquisition of Businesses and Investments in Associate Companies***

The Company paid cash of $1,504 million and $50 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, to acquire businesses. The Company paid cash of $16 million and $68 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, for investments in associate companies. The Company will continue to focus on deploying its capital toward businesses that provide opportunities for higher growth and strong returns, and align with secular trends and its power management strategies.

***Debt***

The Company manages a number of short-term and long-term debt instruments, including commercial paper. At September 30, 2025, the Company had Short-term debt of $761 million, Current portion of long-term debt of $1,136 million, and Long-term debt of $8,756 million. The Company believes it has the operating flexibility, cash flow, and access to capital markets to meet scheduled payments of long-term debt.

**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.

**Guaranteed Debt**

***Issuers, Guarantors and Guarantor Structure&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***

Eaton Corporation has issued senior notes pursuant to indentures dated April 1, 1994 (the 1994 Indenture), November 20, 2012 (the 2012 Indenture), September 15, 2017 (the 2017 Indenture), and August 23, 2022 (as supplemented by the First and Second Supplemental Indentures of the same date and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated May 18, 2023, the 2022 Indenture). Eaton Capital Unlimited Company, a subsidiary of Eaton, is the issuer of four outstanding series of debt securities sold in offshore transactions under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act (the Eurobonds) and Registered Senior Notes (as defined below) issued under an indenture dated May 9, 2025 (as supplemented by the First and Second Supplemental Indentures of the same date, the 2025 Indenture). The senior notes issued under the 1994, 2012, 2017, 2022, and 2025 Indentures are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Registered Senior Notes). 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 September 30, 2025, 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 10.2

July 18, 2025&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dear Ernest:

This confidential letter agreement ("Agreement"), first provided to you on May 30, 2025, will serve to confirm Eaton Corporation's ("Eaton" or "Company") agreement with you ("you" "your" or "Employee"), regarding the terms and conditions related to your separation from the Company. This Agreement recognizes the revised terms negotiated with your legal counsel. This separation results in your mutually agreed retirement. The enhanced payments and benefits offered under this Agreement are contingent on you executing and not revoking this Agreement and the Supplemental Release, and such payments and benefits are in lieu of and replace any benefits that might otherwise be available to you under the Eaton Corporation Severance Benefits Plan. Unless defined herein, capitalized terms have the meaning ascribed to them in the agreements or plan documents to which they relate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**Status and Compensation:** You agree to retire effective September 30, 2025 ("Retirement Date" or "Termination Date"). Your last day in office will be August 8, 2025, and you will continue to work outside of the office to support the transition of work as needed until your Retirement Date. Unless terminated for cause as defined in paragraph 20 of this Agreement, you will remain employed and continue to be paid your current base salary according to the Company's typical bi-weekly payroll schedule until the Retirement Date. The period beginning on the date you first sign this Agreement while still employed through your Retirement Date is defined as the "Transition Period."

If and only if you (1) comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement during and following the Transition Period, (2) timely execute the Supplemental Release set forth below following the Transition Period, and (3) do not exercise any right to revoke this Agreement or the Supplemental Release, then Eaton will pay you as Severance Pay an amount equal to $2,343,735.00 (two million, three hundred forty-three thousand, seven hundred thirty-five dollars), which is equal to 1.5 times the sum of your annual base salary and Executive Incentive Compensation Plan target in effect on the Retirement Date. The Severance Pay will be subject to applicable tax withholding and any authorized deductions and will be paid as soon as administratively practical following the conclusion of the revocation period described in the Supplemental Release.

You agree that the Severance Pay does not represent pay or compensation for work performed or promised.

You agree that Eaton will announce your retirement with an internal announcement on July 21. You will be provided with a draft of the internal announcement for your review and comments prior to publication.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.**Executive Incentive Compensation Plan Participation:** Your 2025 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan ("EIC Plan") target will reflect 9/12<sup>ths</sup> prorated participation. Earned awards, if any, will be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the EIC Plan and will reflect the Company's normal process used to determine the corporate rating. Your individual performance rating is guaranteed at 100%; however, the terms of the EIC plan could still result in no payout if corporate performance thresholds are not met. Payment, if any, made under the EIC Plan will be

------

paid to you concurrently with payments made to other EIC Plan participants on or prior to March 31, 2026, and will be subject to applicable tax withholding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.**Annual Restricted Share Unit Grants:** The Company will agree to allow any unvested Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") granted to you as a portion of your regular long-term incentive opportunity to continue to vest in 2026, 2027 and 2028 as specified in the grant agreements that govern the awards. In all other respects, the grant agreements shall continue to govern all rights and obligations you and the Company have arising from or relating to the awards. RSUs will be subject to Social Security, Medicare, and local taxes, if applicable, as of the Retirement Date and will be subject to applicable Federal and State tax withholding at each vesting date in 2026, 2027 and 2028.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.**Retention Restricted Share Unit Grant:** The Company will agree to allow the Retention Restricted Share Unit grant award issued to you in 2024 to vest in 2027 as specified in the grant agreement that governs the award. In all other respects, the 2024 grant agreement shall continue to govern all rights and obligations you and the Company have arising from or relating to that award. RSUs will be subject to Social Security, Medicare, and local taxes, if applicable, as of the Retirement Date and will be subject to applicable Federal and State tax withholding as of the vesting date in 2027.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.**Performance Share Units:** You will continue to participate in the Executive Strategic Incentive Program (ESIP) through the Retirement Date. As a retiree, you will continue to be eligible for vesting, if any, in the open Performance Share award periods in which you currently participate. Your participation in the 2023-2025, 2024-2026 and 2025-2027 award periods will be prorated based on the number of months worked in each award period, using the Retirement Date as the proration end date. Your incentive award will be calculated under Eaton's normal incentive determination process, and earned shares, if any, will be vested and issued to you, subject to normal NYSE stock settlement timing requirements, concurrently with distributions to other ESIP Plan participants on or prior to March 15, 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively, and will result in taxable income and will be subject to applicable tax withholding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.**Stock Options Grants:** The Company will agree to allow any unvested Stock Options to continue to vest in 2026, 2027, and 2028 as specified in the grant agreements that govern the awards. You will be able to exercise any stock options (including those that vested prior to the Retirement Date that have not been exercised) for the remaining terms as specified in your various stock option agreements. Note that in accordance with IRS regulations, any Incentive Stock Options that you hold at the time of termination of employment will be converted to Non-Qualified Stock Options three (3) months after the Retirement Date. All Stock Option exercises will result in taxable income and are subject to applicable tax withholding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.**Additional Payment in Consideration of Executive Life Insurance:** The Company will agree to pay you $65,000.00 (sixty-five thousand dollars) representing the estimated cash surrender value of a universal life insurance product. This additional payment will be subject to applicable tax withholding and any authorized deductions and will be paid as soon as administratively practical following the conclusion of the revocation period described in the Supplemental Release.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.**Restrictive Covenants:** To the extent permitted under applicable laws, you expressly acknowledge and agree that both during the Transition Period and for the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Retirement Date, you will not (1) engage in any activity as an employee, agent, officer, director, principal or proprietor which is in competition with the Company or a subsidiary; or (2) either on your own behalf or for any competing business, (a) directly or indirectly solicit, divert, appropriate, or accept any business from, or attempt to solicit, divert, appropriate, or accept any business from, any customers with whom you had material business contact during the last five (5) years of your employment, or about whom you have any trade secret information, for the purposes of providing products or services that are the same or substantially similar to those provided by the Company or a subsidiary, or (b) directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, or encourage any current employees of the Company or any subsidiary or any former employees whose employment with the Company or any subsidiary ended within six months before or after the Retirement Date to terminate employment with the Company or any subsidiary, and/or to work in any manner for you or any entity affiliated with you.

You acknowledge and agree that these non-competition and non-solicitation covenants stated in this Agreement are independent of and do not supersede any other restrictive covenants to which you are bound under your grant agreements, which shall remain in effect pursuant to the terms of those separate grant agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.**Retirement Benefits:** Your participation in the Eaton Corporation Saving Plan and the related supplemental plan, as applicable, will continue through the Retirement Date. Following your termination of employment, the disposition of your account(s) will be administered in accordance with the applicable plans' terms and conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.**Special Retirement Contribution**: The Company agrees to vest the Special Credit awarded to you at the time of your hire pursuant to the terms of the Eaton Supplemental Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Addendum Re: Ernest Marshall Special Credit describing the terms of the Special Credit as soon as administratively practical after the expiration of the revocation period in the Supplemental Release so long as you have (1) complied with the terms and conditions of this Agreement during and following the Transition Period, (2) timely executed the Supplemental Release set forth below following the Transition Period, and (3) do not exercise any right to revoke this Agreement or the Supplemental Release. Following your termination of employment, the disposition of your account will be administered in accordance with the applicable plans' terms and conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.**Outplacement:** Eaton will pay you $18,000.00 (eighteen thousand dollars) in consideration of outplacement services. This outplacement payment will be subject to applicable tax withholding and any authorized deductions and will be paid as soon as administratively practical following the conclusion of the revocation period described in the Supplemental Release.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.**Vacation:** Any earned but unused vacation days through the Retirement Date, if any, will be paid to you as a lump sum in accordance with Eaton's vacation policy and such payment will be made to you as soon as administratively practical following your Retirement Date. During the Transition Period, you agree not to use any earned but unused vacation days in a manner that materially impedes the performance of your job

------

duties (e.g., by taking an unusually extended number of consecutive days off without advance planning and notice).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.**Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan:** Following your Retirement Date, if you participate in the company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan, the disposition of your Eaton Corporation Executive Incentive Compensation Deferral Plan Deferral Account will be administered in accordance with the Eaton Corporation Executive Incentive Compensation Deferral Plan's terms and conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.**Health & Welfare Benefits Plans:** You may voluntarily remain a participant in Eaton's active employee medical, dental, group-term life and accidental death and dismemberment plans during the Transition Period. Provided that you execute and do not revoke this Agreement and the Supplemental Release, you will be able to continue coverage for yourself and your eligible dependents in these active employee plans for an additional six (6) month period after the termination of your employment. To continue your participation in these plans during this period, you will be required to pay any applicable employee contributions. After the extended employee benefits coverage described in this paragraph ends, you will become eligible for COBRA continuation and will also be eligible as a retiree to participate in Eaton's Retiree Medical Plan in accordance with the Plan's terms and conditions. Whether or not you sign this Agreement, to the extent allowed and provided by law, and subject to the requirements of COBRA, you will be entitled to elect continued benefits under COBRA following your termination of employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.**Executive Vehicle Insurance Program:** If you participate in the Executive Vehicle Program ("EVIP"), you will be considered an active employee in the EVIP until your Retirement Date, at which time you will continue to be eligible to participate in the program with active employee eligibility for six (6) additional months. Any cars that are covered at the end of the six-month extension must then be removed from the program. Your participation in this plan is provided at Eaton's discretion, and Eaton reserves the right to adjust premiums and amend or cancel this plan and your participation in this plan with or without notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.**Financial Counseling and Tax Preparation:** You will continue to be eligible for reimbursement of Financial, Tax and Estate planning for services rendered for tax years 2025 and 2026. All reimbursements will cease after 2026 except for those attributable to Tax services performed in 2027 related to the preparation of 2026 tax returns. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, reimbursement for these services must be made no later than February 28 of the year following the year in which services are received; consequently, any claim for reimbursement beyond that cannot be honored. Reimbursements for services specified in this paragraph are subject to normal imputed income and applicable tax withholding.

Any transfer of mobile devices from Eaton's account to your personal account must be completed by December 31, 2027. Your access to Eaton's network, including e-mail will cease as of the Retirement Date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.**Substitute Consideration:** The additional payments, consideration and benefits described in Paragraphs 1–7, 10, 11, and 14–17 above are in lieu of any payments under the Eaton Corporation Severance Benefits Plan and/or any other applicable Company policies and are contingent on your executing and not revoking this Agreement and the Supplemental Release. Nothing vested under any retirement plan is subject to release.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.**Continued Application of Eaton's Recoupment Policy:** Following the Retirement Date, you acknowledge and agree the Recoupment Policy of Eaton Corporation plc in effect as of the Retirement Date shall remain binding and enforceable against you, and all payments to you of Incentive Compensation, including but not limited to any of the severance pay and benefits provided to you under this Agreement that fall within the Recoupment Policy's definition of "Incentive Compensation," remain subject to the terms of the Recoupment Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)You understand and agree that the existence and terms of this Agreement are confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Eaton, except that you may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement (i) to the extent legally necessary in connection with any claim, lawsuit or otherwise permitted by law, and (ii) to your immediate family and to your legal and financial consultants for the sole purpose of consulting with you with respect to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, you shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made to your attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against you for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (c) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Upon Eaton's timely receipt of a signed notice of revocation, this Agreement will become null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;33.**Survival:** The provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms or clear intent survive the termination of your employment and the termination or attempted termination of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms.

**I have read this Agreement, and I understand its terms and conditions. I have not been coerced into signing this Agreement, and I voluntarily agree to abide by its terms because they are satisfactory to me.
