**Fort Wayne, IN – April 28, 2026** – Franklin Electric Co., Inc. today announced its first quarter financial results for fiscal year 2026.

First quarter 2026 net sales were $500.4 million compared to first quarter 2025 net sales of $455.2 million.

"Our teams delivered a strong start to 2026, with first quarter results in line with our expectations and reflecting solid execution across the business. Sales increased nearly 10 percent year-over-year, driven by higher volumes, effective pricing, and incremental contributions from acquisitions, while operating income and adjusted earnings grew meaningfully faster than revenue. We remain focused on driving profitable growth through our investment in innovation, focus on faster growing markets, disciplined pricing, and productivity initiatives, while continuing to enhance our global manufacturing footprint to better serve our customers," commented Joe Ruzynski, Franklin Electric's CEO.

"While we continue to closely monitor the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, underlying demand and order activity remain healthy. As we move through the year, our focus remains on executing our strategy to deliver volume growth predictably and efficiently. With improving operating margins and a strong balance sheet, we are well positioned to support our customers and drive profitable growth while delivering long term value for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Ruzynski.

**<u>Forward Looking Statements</u>**

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any forward-looking statements contained herein, including those relating to market conditions or the Company's financial results, costs, expenses or expense reductions, profit margins, inventory levels, foreign currency translation rates, liquidity expectations, business goals and sales growth, involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, risks and uncertainties with respect to general economic and currency conditions, various conditions specific to the Company's business and industry, weather conditions, new housing starts, market demand, competitive factors, changes in distribution channels, supply constraints, effect of price increases, raw material costs, technology factors, integration of acquisitions, litigation, government and regulatory actions, changes in tariffs or the impact of any such changes on the Company's financial results, the Company's accounting policies, future trends, epidemics and pandemics,

------

and other risks which are detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, included in Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, Exhibit 99.1 attached thereto and in Item 1A of Part II of the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made herein are based on information currently available, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

**<u>Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures</u>**

The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Operating Income provide additional meaningful information regarding the company's performance and financial strength. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to and not as an alternative for the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies use identical calculations for Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Operating Income; therefore, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Operating Income included in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Operating Income are defined and reconciled to what management believes to be the most comparable GAAP measures in a schedule at the end of this release, except for forward-looking measures where a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measure.
