**Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Consolidated Results**

LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. (January 30, 2026) - Air Products (NYSE:APD) today reported first quarter fiscal 2026 GAAP operating income of $735 million, up 14 percent from the prior year, primarily due to favorable business mix, non-helium pricing, net of power and fuel costs, and lower costs. The lower costs include productivity improvements and lower maintenance, partially offset by fixed-cost inflation and the prior year sale of a U.S. equity method investment. GAAP operating margin of 23.7 percent increased 170 basis points, despite an approximate 50-basis-point headwind from higher energy cost pass-through driven by the Americas segment. First quarter fiscal 2026 GAAP EPS<sup>#</sup> of $3.04 increased 10 percent from the prior year.

On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter adjusted operating income<sup>\*</sup> of $757 million increased 12 percent, adjusted operating margin\* of 24.4 percent increased 140 basis points, and adjusted EPS<sup>\*</sup> of $3.16 increased 10 percent, each compared to the prior year. These non-GAAP measures exclude the items described in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section beginning on page <u>[8](#ic6182141bdf44a9bacf9d38e01adf3e8_25)</u> of this release.

First quarter sales of $3.1 billion increased six percent from the prior year, reflecting three percent higher energy cost pass-through, two percent favorable currency and one percent higher pricing. Volumes were flat as higher on-sites were offset by lower helium demand and a significant, non-recurring helium sale to an existing merchant customer in the Americas segment in the prior year.

Chief Executive Officer Eduardo Menezes said, "We had strong results from the base business, with a 10 percent increase in adjusted EPS compared to the prior year period and also posted a 12 percent improvement in adjusted operating income despite helium headwinds in the quarter. This is a solid start as the Air Products team continues to focus on unlocking earnings growth, optimizing large projects and maintaining capital discipline."

<sup>#</sup> *Per share amounts are calculated and presented on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products.* 

*\* Certain results in this release include references to non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated, continuing operations basis. Additional information regarding these measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP historical results can be found below. Management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, the Company's forecasted range of adjusted EPS or capital expenditures to a comparable GAAP range or amount because management is not able to predict the timing or occurrence of events or transactions that management believes are not representative of the Company's underlying business performance or the timing or occurrence of future investment activity, which are necessary to calculate forward-looking adjusted EPS from continuing operations and capital expenditures, respectively. Refer to the "Capital Expenditures" and "Adjusted EPS Outlook" sections on pages <u>[10](#ic6182141bdf44a9bacf9d38e01adf3e8_46)</u> and <u>[11](#ic6182141bdf44a9bacf9d38e01adf3e8_49)</u>, respectively, for additional information.*

**Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results by Business Segment** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Americas** sales of $1.3 billion were up four percent from the prior year, as six percent higher energy cost pass-through and two percent higher pricing were partially offset by four percent lower volumes. The lower volumes were primarily driven by a significant, non-recurring helium sale to an existing merchant customer in the prior year. Pricing improved for non-helium products. Operating income of $404 million increased four percent primarily on the higher non-helium pricing and favorable business mix. Costs were modestly unfavorable as prior-year income from the sale of an equity method investment and fixed-cost inflation more than offset lower maintenance. Operating margin of 30.1 percent was flat compared to the prior year, as the benefits from favorable business mix and pricing were offset by a headwind of approximately 150 basis points from higher energy cost pass-through.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Asia** sales of $832 million increased two percent from the prior year, as two percent higher energy cost pass-through and one percent favorable currency were partially offset by one percent lower pricing, driven by helium. Volumes were flat, with new on-sites offset by lower helium demand. Operating income of $232 million increased seven percent primarily due to productivity-driven cost improvements and reduced depreciation due to certain gasification assets being classified as held for sale, partially offset by lower helium. Operating margin of 27.9 percent improved 140 basis points.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Europe** sales of $782 million increased 12 percent from the prior year on eight percent favorable currency, five percent higher volumes, and one percent higher pricing, partially offset by two percent lower energy cost pass-through. The higher volumes were driven by on-sites, including the impact of a prior-year turnaround, and non-helium merchant. Pricing improved for non-helium products. Operating income of $224 million increased 20 percent as favorable volumes, pricing, and currency were partially offset by higher depreciation and fixed-cost inflation, despite productivity improvements. Operating margin of 28.6 percent increased 190 basis points.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Middle East and India** equity affiliates' income of $85 million was flat versus prior year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Corporate and other** sales of $117 million increased 21 percent from the prior year. Operating loss of $109 million decreased seven percent, primarily due to productivity-driven cost improvements.

**Outlook**

Air Products continues to expect full-year fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance<sup>\*</sup> in the range of $12.85 to $13.15. For the fiscal 2026 second quarter, Air Products' adjusted EPS guidance<sup>\*</sup> is $2.95 to $3.10.

Air Products continues to expect capital expenditures<sup>\*</sup> of approximately $4.0 billion for full-year fiscal 2026.

**RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

*(Millions of U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated, except for per share data)*

We present certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") because they exclude items that management does not consider to be representative of our underlying business operations. We provide these adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to allow investors, potential investors, securities analysts, and others to evaluate our business in the same manner as management. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures offer a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our financial performance and support analysis of our results on a more consistent basis.

Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the corresponding GAAP measures. Our definitions and calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other companies, which may limit comparability.

**Non-GAAP Performance Measures**

Management uses non-GAAP performance measures, including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), to assess our performance because these measures exclude items that management does not consider to be representative of our underlying business operations. In addition, adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS are important components of our incentive compensation plans. We also use adjusted operating margin to assess operational efficiency, cost discipline, and overall profitability.

Our non-GAAP performance measures are adjusted to exclude gains or losses that management believes are not associated with the ongoing operations of our business. These adjustments, which are described below for the periods presented, are not reflected in the results of our reportable segments. Although these items are often difficult to predict, readers should be aware that similar gains or losses may occur in future periods. The related tax effects reflect the expected current and deferred income tax impacts of our non-GAAP adjustments, which are primarily driven by the statutory tax rates of the applicable jurisdictions and the taxability of the underlying adjustments in those jurisdictions.

We reconcile each non-GAAP performance measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure in the table below, followed by descriptions of each non-GAAP adjustment. Margins are calculated by dividing the applicable line item by consolidated sales for the relevant period. In addition to our non-GAAP performance measures, we also present components used in calculating adjusted EPS to illustrate the per share effect of our non-GAAP adjustments. All per share amounts are calculated on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products. Because margins and per share amounts are calculated independently, the individual components may not sum to the related totals due to rounding.

<u>Business and Asset Actions</u>

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we recorded charges for business and asset actions totaling $28.3 ($24.6 after tax, or $0.11 per share) related to project exits announced in fiscal year 2025. Of these charges, $22.0 were recorded within operating income to reflect updated cost estimates as we settle project-related commitments and sell associated assets. The remaining $6.3 was recorded to "Other non-operating income (expense), net" and reflects losses on cross-currency interest rate swaps terminated in connection with the early repayment of related intercompany loans for one of the affected gasification projects.

Our estimates reflect our best judgment based on information available as of 31 December 2025. Final settlement of these items may differ materially from current estimates, which could impact our consolidated financial statements in future periods.

<u>Prior Year Shareholder Activism-Related Costs</u>

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded shareholder activism-related costs of $29.9 ($21.9 after tax, or $0.10 per share) in connection with a proxy contest. These costs included legal and other professional service fees and proxy solicitation expenses.

<u>Prior Year Gain on De-designation of Cash Flow Hedges</u>

In fiscal year 2024, we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps due to changes in the anticipated drawdown timeline for hedged borrowings related to the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project. These swaps are held by NEOM Green Hydrogen Company, a consolidated joint venture accounted for under the variable interest model, in which Air Products holds a one-third ownership interest. As a result, unrealized gains and losses for the de-designated swaps were recorded to "Other non-operating income (expense), net" on our consolidated income statements. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded an unrealized gain of $38.8 ($10.3 attributable to Air Products after tax, or $0.05 per share), with $25.2 attributable to our noncontrolling partners.

We re-designated the affected swaps as outstanding borrowings under the available project financing became commensurate with the swaps' notional values. The unrealized gain on swaps that remained de-designated during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was not material. As of 1 January 2026, all swaps have been re-designated as cash flow hedges.

<u>Non-Service Related Pension Items</u>

Non-service related pension items resulted in net non-operating costs of $3.4 ($2.5 after tax, or $0.01 per share) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $10.5 ($7.9 after tax, or $0.04 per share) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Non-service related components are recurring, non-operating items that include interest cost, expected returns on plan assets, prior service cost amortization, actuarial loss amortization, as well as special termination benefits, curtailments, and settlements. The net impact of non-service related components is reflected within "Other non-operating income (expense), net" on our consolidated income statements. Adjusting for the impact of non-service pension components provides management and users of our financial statements with a more accurate representation of our underlying business performance because these components are driven by factors that are unrelated to our operations, such as volatility in equity and debt markets. Further, non-service related components are not indicative of our defined benefit plans' future contribution needs due to the funded status of the plans.

**Capital Expenditures (Non-GAAP)**

Capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure that management uses to evaluate our deployment of capital and assess alignment with our strategic priorities. Our calculation of this measure begins as the sum of cash paid for additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits, acquisitions (less cash acquired), investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, and investment in financing receivables, each of which are reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

We then adjust this amount to exclude spending for additions to plant and equipment by our consolidated joint venture, NEOM Green Hydrogen Company ("NGHC"), to the extent such spending is funded by sources other than Air Products' cash. These other funding sources include NGHC's project financing, which is non-recourse to Air Products, as well as equity contributions from the other joint venture partners. Management believes this adjustment provides a more useful view of the capital we deploy to support the ongoing growth of our business.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure to our non-GAAP capital expenditures is "Cash used for investing activities," as reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows. The reconciliation of cash used for investing activities to our reported capital expenditures is provided below:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended |
| | 31 December | 31 December |
| | 2025 | 2024 |

| Proceeds from sale of assets and investments | 26.1 | 34.4 |
| Purchases of short-term investments |  | (117.6) |
| Proceeds from short-term investments |  | 5.0 |
| Proceeds from other investing activities | 2.2 | 29.0 |
| NGHC expenditures not funded by Air Products' equity<sup>(A)</sup> | (360.5) | (923.1) |
| Capital expenditures | $910.7 | $1209.8 |

---

<sup>(A)</sup>Reflects the portion of "Additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits" that is associated with NGHC, less our approximate cash investment in the joint venture. Substantially all the funding we provide to NGHC is limited for use by the joint venture for its capital expenditures.

The table below outlines the cash flow components included in our definition of capital expenditures:

|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended |
| | 31 December | 31 December |
| | 2025 | 2024 |
| Additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits | $1251.2 | $2117.6 |
| Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates | 20.0 |  |
| Investments in financing receivables |  | 15.3 |
| NGHC expenditures not funded by Air Products' equity<sup>(A)</sup> | (360.5) | (923.1) |
| Capital expenditures | $910.7 | $1209.8 |

---

<sup>(A)</sup>Reflects the portion of "Additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits" that is associated with NGHC, less our approximate cash investment in the joint venture. Substantially all the funding we provide to NGHC is limited for use by the joint venture for its capital expenditures.

<u>Outlook for Investing Activities</u>

It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to reconcile our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities because management is unable to identify the timing or occurrence of our future investment activity, which is driven by our assessment of competing opportunities at the time we enter into transactions. These decisions, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a significant effect on our cash used for investing activities. Accordingly, management is unable to fully reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities.

We expect capital expenditures of approximately $4.0 billion for fiscal year 2026.

**Adjusted EPS Outlook (Non-GAAP)**

The adjusted EPS guidance below is provided on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products and is compared to historical adjusted EPS. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain items that we believe are not representative of our underlying business performance, such as the non-service components of net periodic benefit/cost for our defined benefit pension plans, the incurrence of costs for business, asset, and cost reduction actions and impairment charges, or the recognition of gains or losses on certain disclosed items. The per share impact for each non-GAAP adjustment is calculated independently and may not sum to total adjusted EPS due to rounding.

It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to predict the timing or occurrence of these or similar future events or the potential for other events or transactions that may impact future GAAP EPS. Furthermore, it is not possible to identify the potential significance of these events in advance; however, any of these events, if they were to occur, could have a significant effect on our future GAAP EPS. Accordingly, management is unable to fully reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, our forecasted range of adjusted EPS to a comparable GAAP range.
