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

"In the second quarter, Carlisle hit a major milestone in our 106 year history as we completed the final step in becoming a pure-play building products company with the sale of our Carlisle Interconnect Technologies business to Amphenol Corporation. CIT was part of a multi-decade value creation story for Carlisle, and one of Carlisle’s oldest businesses, which began with the purchase of the Tensolite company in 1959. We thank all of the CIT employees, and especially CIT President John Berlin, for their outstanding accomplishments over the years.

“Our 'Pivot' to a pure-play building products company has laid the foundation for Vision 2030. Consistent with the Vision 2030 goal of delivering $40 of adjusted EPS, we delivered another strong quarter of sales and adjusted EBITDA performance, reflecting the continued strength of our business model and our focus on executing the Vision 2030 strategies. CCM and CWT both delivered superb performance, driven by pent-up re-roofing demand, continued price discipline, and operational efficiencies gained through the Carlisle Operating System (COS).

"CCM posted impressive 15% year-over-year sales growth and expanded adjusted EBITDA margin by 220 basis points, benefiting from the end of destocking of inventory in the channels, a productive start to the commercial construction season driving solid contractor backlogs, and robust re-roofing activity. CCM’s 33.4% adjusted EBITDA margin reflects the impact of the Carlisle Experience and excellent operating execution. CWT showcased its earnings resilience, delivering a 22.5% adjusted EBITDA margin on essentially flat year-over-year revenue, as integration synergies and COS implementation helped offset investments in growth initiatives.

“In addition to completing our pivot to a pure-play building products company with the sale of CIT for $2.025 billion, we continued to make progress on our Vision 2030 objectives during the second quarter. We completed the acquisition of MTL, establishing Carlisle as an industry leader in the $4 billion architectural metal category. Leveraging our Carlisle integration playbook, we are on track to exceed the $13 million of synergies we announced in May. We now expect to deliver $20 million of synergies from the MTL acquisition. This is another example of the effectiveness of Carlisle's integration playbook, which was also successfully used in the Henry acquisition where we delivered over $50 million of synergies, compared to the $30 million of synergies that we initially announced at the time of the acquisition.

“As we look ahead, we remain confident in the strength of our business and our ability to navigate complex market dynamics. Supported by the Carlisle Experience, our pricing to value philosophy, and COS initiatives, combined with the positive momentum in re-roofing demand, we are raising our full-year 2024 outlook to revenue growth of approximately 12% and approximately 150 basis points of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. We remain excited about the future for Carlisle, motivated by our new Vision 2030, and confident in our ongoing efforts to drive sustainable value creation for all our stakeholders."

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

Second Quarter 2024 Segment Highlights

Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM")

• Revenue of $1.1 billion, increased 15% (+13% organic) year-over-year, driven by the normalization of inventory in the channels, strong re-roofing activity from pent-up demand and the acquisition of MTL.
• Operating income was $347 million and adjusted EBITDA was $364 million, up 23% year-over-year, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 33.4%. The 220 basis point increase was driven by volume leverage on strong sales growth, favorable raw materials, and operating efficiencies through COS.

Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies ("CWT")

• Revenue of $362 million, increased 0.6% (-0.6% organic) driven by higher volume and the benefit from the acquisition of Polar Industries mostly offset by lower pricing.
• Operating income was $59 million and adjusted EBITDA was $81 million, up 0.7% year-over-year reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.5%. Volume leverage, integration synergies and COS execution, were partially offset by higher operating expenses tied to growth initiatives.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $333 million, an increase of $61 million versus the prior year. Free cash flow from continuing operations was $288 million, an increase of $73 million versus the prior year (defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and comprised of continuing operations). This increase was driven by higher income from continuing operations more than offsetting an increase in working capital uses, as a result of the increase in revenues.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we deployed $700 million toward share repurchases, including $550 million in the current quarter, and paid $82 million in cash dividends, including $40 million in the current quarter. As of June 30, 2024, we had 5.6 million shares available for repurchase under our share repurchase program with $1.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $1 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility.

2024 Outlook

• FY 2024 revenues to increase ~ 12%
  • CCM - FY 2024 revenues to increase ~ 15%
  • CWT - FY 2024 revenues to increase ~ 3%
• Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding ~ 150 bps

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally use words such as "expect," "foresee," "anticipate," "believe," "project," "should," "estimate," "will," "plans," "intends," "forecast," and similar expressions, and reflect our expectations concerning the future. Such statements are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of publication and, as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen risks and uncertainties. It is possible that our future performance may differ materially from current expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements, due to a variety of factors such as: increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants; technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; our mix of products/services; increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental and industry regulations; the ability to meet our goals relating to our intended reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, including our net zero commitments; threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the identification of strategic acquisition targets and our successful completion of any transaction and integration of our strategic acquisitions; our successful completion of strategic dispositions; the cyclical nature of our businesses; the impact of information technology, cybersecurity or data security breaches at our businesses or third parties; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings; the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic, including, for example, expectations regarding their impact on our businesses, including on customer demand, supply chains and distribution systems, production, our ability to maintain appropriate labor levels, our ability to ship products to our customers, our future results, or our full-year financial outlook; and the other factors discussed in the reports we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, the condition of the financial and credit markets and general domestic and international economic conditions, including inflation and interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Further, any conflict in the international arena, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and war in the Middle East, may adversely affect general market conditions and our future performance. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made, and we undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances, including unanticipated events, after the date on which that statement is made, unless otherwise required by law. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of those factors, nor can it assess the impact of each of those factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

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, return on invested capital (ROIC) and free cash flow that are not recognized under GAAP. Management believes that adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, organic revenue and ROIC 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 businesses 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. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Carlisle is not providing reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because Carlisle does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as Carlisle is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of adjusted items with unreasonable effort. There items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Carlisle's financial results computed in accordance with GAAP.
