Basic net earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS from continuing operations is similarly calculated, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of shares under stock-based compensation plans under the treasury stock method, except where the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive impact.

For the three months ended April 3, 2026 and March 28, 2025, the anti-dilutive options to purchase shares excluded from the diluted EPS calculation were 1.3 million and 1.5 million, respectively.

In February 2022, our Board adopted a share repurchase program (the “General Share Repurchase Program”), under which our Board has made various authorizations for the total repurchase of up to 58.8 million shares of our common stock. In 2025, in connection with the Separation, our Board adopted a separate and incremental special purpose share repurchase program (the “Special Share Repurchase Program”) under which we may repurchase up to $550 million of our common stock exclusively from the proceeds we received from Ralliant in connection with the Separation.

As of April 3, 2026, there were 6.6 million shares and $67.5 million remaining authorized under the General Share Repurchase Program and Special Share Repurchase Program, respectively. There is no expiration date for these repurchase programs, and the timing and amount of repurchases under the programs are determined by our management based on market conditions, tax regulation and other factors. The repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Board.

During the three months ended April 3, 2026, the Company purchased 8.9 million shares of its common stock at an average share price of $56.21. During the three months ended March 28, 2025, the Company purchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock at an average share price of $81.01. Common stock repurchases, in excess of issuances, are subject to a 1% excise tax in the United States, which is recorded as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired and shown within Common stock repurchases in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Equity. The payment of the excise tax is recorded within Repurchase of common shares in the Financing Activities section of the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.
