Segment Information SEGMENT INFORMATION
On April 1, 2025, the Company, as part of ongoing initiatives to drive simplification, accelerate growth, better reflect its organizational and operational structure and align with the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker assesses performance and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources following portfolio simplification actions, realigned into three reportable segments (Americas, EMEA and APAC).

The Company conducts its business through three operating segments, all of which are reportable segments:

•Americas, which designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services HVAC, controls, building management, refrigeration, integrated electronic security systems, integrated fire detection and suppression systems, and digital (software) solutions for commercial, industrial, data center, institutional and governmental customers in the Americas (United States, Canada, and Latin America – Central and South America). Americas also provides energy efficiency solutions and technical services, including inspection, scheduled maintenance, and repair and replacement of mechanical and control systems, as well as data-driven "smart building" solutions, to the Americas marketplace.

•EMEA, which designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services HVAC, controls, building management, refrigeration, integrated electronic security systems, integrated fire detection and suppression systems, and digital (software) solutions for commercial, residential security (Global Subscriber business), industrial, data center, institutional, governmental, and marine customers and provides technical services, including data-driven “smart building” solutions, to markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

•APAC, which designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services HVAC, controls, building management, refrigeration, integrated electronic security systems, integrated fire detection and suppression systems, and digital (software) solutions for commercial, industrial, data center, institutional, and governmental customers and provides technical services, including data-driven “smart building” solutions, to the Asian and Pacific marketplace.

The Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources based on two profitability measures, Segment EBIT and Segment EBITA (non-GAAP):

•Segment earnings before interest and taxes (“Segment EBIT”) represents segment income from continuing operations, excluding restructuring and impairment costs, AFFF related settlement costs and insurance recoveries, gains or losses on divestitures, and net mark-to-market gains and losses related to pension and postretirement plans and restricted asbestos investments. Segment EBIT is used as a tool to allow the CODM to evaluate the recurring profitability of the segments, including revenues and expenses that are within the operational control of the segments, and excluding the
impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring items. Segment EBIT also provides the CODM with visibility into the integration of key strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions and mergers.

•Segment earnings before interest, taxes and amortization ("Segment EBITA") (non-GAAP) represents Segment EBIT, excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets. Segment EBITA provides the CODM with performance comparability across periods and more accurate benchmarking against peer companies that may not have similar historical acquisition activity, by holding constant the impact of significant acquisitions.

Both Segment EBIT and Segment EBITA are reviewed by the CODM and compared against the profit plan and forecast for the current and prior year. Segment EBITA is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of Segment EBIT to Segment EBITA and to consolidated income before income taxes are presented in the tables below. Measures of total assets by reportable segment are not provided to the CODM. Therefore, asset information by segment is not disclosed.

Financial information relating to the Company’s reportable segments is as follows (in millions):
