Comments from Chris Koch, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

"As we move into the second quarter of 2022, and enjoy the benefits of an easing of our over two-year battle with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are deeply saddened by the continued humanitarian crisis occurring in Eastern Europe and Ukraine. We hope peace and resolution will come quickly to the conflict.

"Turning to Carlisle's performance, the entire Carlisle team drove outstanding results in the first quarter, including record revenues, record Adjusted EBITDA, and record Adjusted Diluted EPS. The team delivered these remarkable results while navigating continuing and unprecedented demand, supply chain constraints, and industry-wide labor and raw material challenges.

"Underpinning Carlisle's outstanding first quarter 2022 performance:

• Carlisle Construction Materials (CCM) and Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies (CWT) continue to benefit from strong re-roofing demand, solid new construction demand, and a growing push to install energy-efficient solutions.
• Our teams continue to work with great effort to secure raw materials, appropriately staff at all levels, and strive to meet our customers' expectations. Our goal, as always, is to deliver the Carlisle Experience.
• Our pivot towards our highest returning Building Products businesses that began in 2017 continues to prove to be the right strategic direction for Carlisle, which is reflected in Carlisle's record first quarter sales and profits.
• Our proactive and value-added approach to pricing, which began several years ago and accelerated coming into 2021, enabled us to neutralize the effects of significant raw material inflation last year, and offset continued pressures we experienced in the first quarter. We expect these pressures will persist throughout 2022.
• The Henry integration continues to exceed expectations and deliver on our synergy commitments of $30 million.
• We are pleased that the Carlisle business model is squarely in the middle of global ESG trends as our products enable a more efficient use of energy in buildings. We continue to make significant progress towards our goal of delivering a net zero commitment in 2022.
• We have invested $1.2 billion over the past decade to expand capacity, drive innovation, and develop world-class processes - without which our record results would not be possible.
• CIT's backlog continues to grow, and we are encouraged by the recertification and accelerating deliveries of the 737 MAX, the impending resumption of 787 deliveries later this year, and improved capital spending in Medical markets.

"We remain committed to disciplined and superior capital allocation, which includes returning capital to shareholders. In the first quarter, we paid $28.7 million in dividends and opportunistically repurchased 529 thousand shares for $125 million. Our cumulative share repurchases since 2017 now exceed $1.9 billion, which has driven a 19.5% net reduction of our shares outstanding.

"In closing, I continue to be impressed by the resilience, determination and hard work of everyone at Carlisle, without which our record first quarter results and improved outlook would not be possible. With demand accelerating across our businesses, and our new segment structure in place to focus our teams, Carlisle is well positioned to drive continued profitable growth in 2022 - and deliver Vision 2025."

First Quarter 2022

Revenue of $1.5 billion increased 59.0% year-over-year. Organic revenue increased 44.8% (organic revenue defined as revenue excluding acquired revenues within the last 12 months and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar). Acquired revenues contributed a total of 14.7% in the quarter. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a negative 0.5% impact on revenues.

Operating income for the first quarter of $277.3 million increased 227.4% from $84.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of $194.3 million increased 295.7% from $49.1 million in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 of $344.8 million increased 150.2% from $137.8 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Diluted EPS for the first quarter of $3.67 increased 303.3% from $0.91 in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted diluted EPS for the first quarter of $4.26 increased 208.7% from $1.38 in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in EPS reflects strong operating results at CCM and CWT, improving performance at CIT and CFT, and share repurchases.

First Quarter 2022 Segment Highlights

Carlisle Construction Materials (CCM)

• Revenues of $0.9 billion, up 58.4% (+58.9% organic) year-over-year, were driven by the strength of U.S. commercial roofing demand, price and strong performances across all product lines.
• Operating income was $261.1 million, up 135.9% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $275.3 million, up 122.2% year-over-year, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 31.2%, which was positively impacted by higher volumes, price, favorable mix, and savings from COS, and partially offset by raw material, freight and wage inflation.
• We expect full year 2022 sales to increase approximately 30% year-over-year.

Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies (CWT)

• Revenues of $359.1 million, up 120.4% (+36.0% organic) year-over-year, were driven by the Henry acquisition, price, and strong performances across all product lines.
• Operating income was $37.5 million, up 253.8% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $63.1 million, up 201.9% year-over-year reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.6%, which was positively impacted by higher volumes, price, favorable mix, and savings from COS, and partially offset by raw material, freight and wage inflation.
• We expect full year 2022 sales to increase 55-60% year-over-year, which includes high-teens organic growth.

Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CIT)

• Revenues of $185.0 million, up 18.7% (all organic) year-over-year, were driven by strengthening aerospace and medical end markets.
• Operating loss was $2.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $18.4 million, up 67.3% year-over-year reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.9%, which positively impacted by higher volumes, benefits from past restructuring, and COS savings, and partially offset by raw material and wage inflation and higher operating expenses.
• We now expect full year 2022 sales to increase low-double digits year-over-year.

Carlisle Fluid Technologies (CFT)

• Revenues of $71.1 million, up 8.1% (+9.9% organic) year-over-year, reflected price and higher volumes, partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates.
• Operating income was $4.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.5 million, up 2.9% year-over-year reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.8%, positively impacted by higher volumes, price realization, and savings from COS, and partially offset by material and wage inflation.
• We still expect full year 2022 sales to increase approximately 10% year-over-year.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was $45.0 million, a decrease of $19.1 million versus the prior year. Free cash flow from continuing operations was $13.9 million (defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, and comprised of continuing operations). The year-over-year decline is attributable to higher volumes in the first quarter of 2022, and more notably, year-over-year raw material inflation and related price increases driving higher working capital compared to 2021 levels. We maintain a disciplined and superior approach to capital allocation, always with a focus on the highest returning investments.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we deployed $125.0 million in share repurchases and $28.7 million in cash dividends paid. As of March 31, 2022, we had $291.7 million of cash and $1.0 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

Carlisle reports its financial results in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This press release also contains certain financial measures such as adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, organic revenue and free cash flow that are not recognized under GAAP. Management believes that adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and organic revenue are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to Carlisle’s and its segments' performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. Management also believes free cash flow is useful to investors as an additional way of viewing Carlisle's liquidity and provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Carlisle's cash flows. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in Carlisle’s business and evaluate Carlisle’s performance relative to similarly-situated companies. Reconciliations of these measures to amounts reported in Carlisle's consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of this press release.
