REGAL REXNORD REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS, CAPPING OFF A YEAR OF RECORD ANNUAL ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW AND SIGNIFICANT PORTFOLIO TRANSFORMATION

Guidance

The Company is introducing annual guidance for 2024 GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share in a range of $4.58 to $5.38 and for Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share in a range of $9.75 to $10.55. The mid-point of the Company's 2024 Adjusted EPS guidance factors organic sales to be slightly down versus prior year, and for adjusted EBITDA margins to be approximately 22%.

Segment Performance

All prior periods identified in this release have been recast to reflect the new segment structure established at first quarter 2023 related to closing the Altra acquisition, and provide comparison to the comparable period.

Segment results versus the prior year are summarized below:

• Automation & Motion Control net sales were $420.7 million, an increase of 109.0% or a decrease of 3.0% on a pro forma organic basis*. Results reflect the Altra acquisition plus strength in the aerospace, data center and medical markets, net of weakness in global factory automation and food & beverage markets. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 24.8% of Adjusted Net Sales*. For the full year 2023, net sales were $1,516.8 million, an increase of 96.4% or an increase of 3.1% on a pro forma organic basis.
• Industrial Powertrain Solutions segment net sales were $649.7 million, an increase of 57.6% or a decrease of 1.5% on a pro forma organic basis. Results reflect the Altra acquisition, plus strength in aerospace and energy markets, net of weakness in the alternative energy and food & beverage markets. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 24.0% of adjusted net sales. For the full year 2023, net sales were $2,403.5 million, an increase of 44.2% or a decrease of 0.5% on a pro forma organic basis.
• Power Efficiency Solutions net sales were $418.0 million, a decrease of 15.6% or a decrease of 16.0% on an organic basis. The decline primarily reflects continued weakness in North America residential HVAC markets, particularly in heating products. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.1% of adjusted net sales. For the full year 2023, net sales were $1,808.9 million, a decrease of 18.8% or a decrease of 18.4% on an organic basis.
• Industrial Systems net sales were $119.8 million, a decrease of 11.7% or a decrease of 12.0% on an organic basis. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 9.1% of adjusted net sales. For the full year 2023, net sales were $521.5 million, a decrease of 5.5% or a decrease of 4.3% on an organic basis.

Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share Data)

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We also periodically disclose certain financial measures in our quarterly earnings releases, on investor conference calls, and in investor presentations and similar events that may be considered "non-GAAP" financial measures. This additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results of operations prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

In this earnings release, we disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures, and we reconcile these measures in the tables below to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures: adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net sales, adjusted gross margin, net debt, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, proforma EBITDA, proforma adjusted EBITDA, proforma adjusted EBITDA (including synergies), interest coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio (including synergies), adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to Regal Rexnord, adjusted cash flows from operations, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted net income attributable to Regal Rexnord (or free cash flow conversion), adjusted income before taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, and adjusted effective tax rate. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures for providing investors with additional information regarding our results of operations and for helping investors understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods and compared to our peers. Our management primarily uses adjusted income from operations and adjusted operating margin to help us manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, while the other non-GAAP measures disclosed are primarily used to help us evaluate our business and forecast our future results. Accordingly, we believe disclosing and reconciling each of these measures helps investors evaluate our business in the same manner as management.

In addition to these non-GAAP measures, we use the term "organic sales growth" and "pro forma organic sales growth" to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to organic sales. "Organic sales" refers to GAAP sales from existing operations excluding any sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition and excluding any sales from business divested/to be exited recorded prior to the first anniversary of the exit and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. "Proforma organic sales" refers to "organic sales" giving effect to the acquisition of Altra.  The impact of foreign currency translation is determined by translating the respective period's organic sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year periods.

The assumptions and related pro forma adjustments in the selected financial information presented within this release are consistent with those presented in the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on June 5, 2023 and September 8, 2023 giving effect to the acquisition of Altra and related transactions and are inclusive of the measurement period adjustments included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed on February 23, 2024.
