Cautionary StatementWhirlpool Corporation Confidential
This document contains forward-looking statements about Whirlpool Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Whirlpool") that speak only as of this date. Whirlpool disclaims any obligation to update these statements. Forward-looking statements in this document may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future financial results, long-term value creation goals, restructuring expectations, productivity, raw material prices and related costs, supply chain, portfolio transformation expectations, India transaction expectations, housing market expectations, asset impairment, new product introduction benefits, trade and tariff benefits, litigation, ESG efforts, debt repayment and dividend expectations, share position, and the impact of the global economy and geopolitical events on our operations and financial results. Many risks, contingencies and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from Whirlpool's forward-looking statements. Among these factors are: (1) intense competition in the home appliance industry, and the impact of the changing retail environment, including direct-to-consumer sales; (2) Whirlpool's ability to maintain or increase sales to significant trade customers and builders; (3) Whirlpool's ability to maintain its reputation and brand image; (4) Whirlpool's ability to achieve its business objectives and successfully manage its strategic portfolio transformation and outsourced business unit service model; (5) Whirlpool's ability to understand consumer preferences and successfully develop new products; (6) Whirlpool's ability to obtain and protect intellectual property rights; (7) acquisition, divestiture, and investment-related risks, including risks associated with our past transactions; (8) the ability of suppliers of critical parts, components and manufacturing equipment to deliver sufficient quantities to Whirlpool in a timely and cost-effective manner; (9) risks related to Whirlpool's international operations; (10) Whirlpool's ability to respond to unanticipated social, political and/or economic events, including epidemics/pandemics; (11) information technology system and cloud failures, data security breaches, data privacy compliance, network disruptions, and cybersecurity attacks; (12) product liability and product recall costs; (13) Whirlpool's ability to attract, develop and retain executives and other qualified employees; (14) the impact of labor relations; (15) fluctuations in the cost of key materials (including steel, resins, and base metals) and components and the ability of Whirlpool to offset cost increases; (16) Whirlpool's ability to manage foreign currency fluctuations; (17) impacts from goodwill, intangible asset and/or inventory impairment charges; (18) health care cost trends, regulatory changes and variations between results and estimates that could increase future funding obligations for pension and postretirement benefit plans; (19) impacts from credit rating agency downgrades; (20) litigation, tax, and legal compliance risk and costs; (21) the effects and costs of governmental investigations or related actions by third parties; (22) changes in the legal and regulatory environment including environmental, health and safety regulations, data privacy, taxes and AI; (23) the impacts of changes in foreign trade policies, including tariffs; (24) Whirlpool's ability to respond to the impact of climate change and climate change or other environmental regulation; (25) the uncertain global economy and changes in economic conditions; (26) financing and liquidity uncertainty including payment of dividends on our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; (27) the dilutive effect of conversion and potential dividend payments in common stock for our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; (28) the liquidation preference of our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock above our common stock; (29) reduced operational flexibility under our Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2031 and 2034; and (30) reduced operational flexibility and liquidity availability under our Asset-Based loan facility. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Whirlpool's 2025 Form 10-K report as updated in subsequent Form 10-Q reports. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, and investors are advised to review disclosures in our filings with the SEC. It is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. Therefore, investors should not consider the foregoing factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks, uncertainties, or factors that could potentially cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP MeasuresThis presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, some of which we refer to as "ongoing" measures, including: earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), EBIT margin, ongoing EBIT, ongoing EBIT margin, ongoing earnings per diluted share and ongoing EBITDA. Other non-GAAP financial measures that may be included in this presentation are free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of sales, adjusted effective tax rate, organic net sales, net debt leverage and return on invested capital (ROIC).
Organic net sales: Sales excluding the impact of certain acquisitions or divestitures, and foreign currency. Management believes that organic net sales provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time, excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations and certain acquisitions and/or divestitures. Slide 20 excludes 2025 net sales from the divested India business and foreign currency impact. Slide(s): 7, 20
Ongoing EBIT margin: Ongoing EBIT divided by net sales. Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Slide(s): 7, 8, 20, 21, 28, 29
Segment EBIT: Consolidated EBIT broken down by the Company's reportable segments and are metrics used by the chief operating decision maker in accordance with ASC
280. Consolidated EBIT also includes corporate "Other" of $(268) million and $(28) million for the third quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Management believes segment EBIT provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time for each segment. Slide(s): 10, 15, 17, 22
Ongoing earnings per diluted share: Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations. Ongoing measures provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Slide(s): 7, 20, 27, 30
Free cash flow: Cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow and free cash flow as a percentage of sales provide stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing Whirlpool's ability to fund its activities and obligations. Slide(s): 6, 7, 20, 23, 25
Adjusted effective tax rate: Effective tax rate, excluding pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items. Management believes that adjusted tax rate provides stockholders with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items. Slide(s): 20, 30

Please refer to the supplemental information pack located in the events section of our Investor Relations website at investors.whirlpoolcorp.com for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Whirlpool does not provide a Non-GAAP reconciliation for its forward-looking long-term value creation goals, such as organic net sales, ongoing EBIT, free cash flow as percentage of net sales, ROIC and net debt leverage, as these long-term management goals are not annual guidance, and the reconciliation of these long-term measures would rely on market factors and certain other conditions and assumptions that are outside of the Company's control.
